God, Candy GAF. Now I can't stop thinking about candy.
I bought 4 cream eggs. They are sooooooo good. Nevermind the haters.

location: USA(have access to mexican candy too)
want: anything besides usa.mexico candy

Nothing gross like chocolate covered ants.

I want to do this, but knowing me, I'd end up really liking some of the candy I'd get, and then drive myself crazy trying to obtain it for the rest of my life. I'll think about it...
Here are some of the stuff available in Australia.

I'm from Canada and i'd like some Pepsi Blue, Pepsi Ice Cucumbers (any weird soda flavors actually) Tim Tams to be specific. I like some american stuff not sold in Canada also, especially Cheez-its (spicy) and some cereals.
Canada candy is more or less the same stuff from USA, but we have some stuff only found here. a lot of chocolate bars, cakes, and chip flavors for example. Kinder Surprises and Dunkaroos are readily available here if any americans are interested.

Man, this thing is going to end up with like five Europeans and the like sending 40 packets to the United States and Canada. :loldonkey show said:
Anyway count me in.
From: United States/Southern Cali too. Anything you want from here.
Would Like Candy from Italy, France or some of those great chocolate countries like Switzerland.
Some cool tasty real fruit candies would be cool. Also I heard someone talking about real licorice from Iceland or something. Wouldn't mind trying some of that.

It's like the best thing you can chew. That's all I can say (it's not a chewing gum, but it's kinda gummy-like).

Hell why not, sounds like a fun idea.
Location: Japan
Want: some kind of European chocolate preferably, from Belgium or some other place where I imagine has good chocolate. I'd be down for some NA candies, but I easily get that stuff from friends and family in the states.
If you don't know what you would want give me a description of the ingredients you like. There are many interesting types of snacks and candy here that is not named Pocky. Even candy that is typically found elsewhere (ex. Kit-Kat) is found in many flavors that you wouldn't normally find.

This is just a reminder that the registrations will end tonight.
Currently the number are as follows:
USA: 26
Everywhere else: 22
So, I'm going to cap off the USA registrations and anyone else that isn't from the USA can still join.
Sorry for the people from the US that did not get to register, maybe next time.
Also, If you are wanting candy/snacks from the USA and would like to receive twice the goodies, PM me and I will match you with two users in the event that we're still left with stray US participants! So, you send to two people, and you get twice the goodies back.
I will be going on vacation this weekend so I will be extremely busy. I will try to get everyone matched and PM'd tonight. If I am unable to do that, I will at least match everyone up and begin sending out PM's on Monday March 10th.
Thanks for participating. I look forward to seeing pictures of all the goodies we get!

I'd do this.

Anything not from the UK would please me.

Alright, I've matched everyone they best that I could. However, we have four people left over.
These are (All From USA):
Me

I went ahead and took one for the team and let someone else have my trading partner.
I wouldn't mind trading within the US, because I'm sure there are some special snacks that are specific to our locations (I believe we are spread apart pretty well), but I am not going to force any of you to trade and get candy you really don't want. So, I leave it up to you. Just PM me or reply to this post.
Note: If you are not from the USA and would still like to register and want candy/snacks from the USA I will take your registrations over the weekend! However, I'm not sure I will have access to a computer until Monday. So, as you can see we need 4 more non-US participants. Please join if you are interested!
I'm swamped with work and I have a flight to catch in a few hours so, I will be typing up and sending all the PM's out on Monday, March 10th 2008. I'll check my PM's and this thread for any posts as soon as I get back on Monday.

REGISTRATION IS CLOSED
Okay, that's it for registrations. We will have an even amount and everyone should get a partner now. Everyone up to this point besides OgnodoD and GhaleonEB are registered.
OgnodoD, you can trade with GhaleonEB if he would make an exception to trade within the US. Otherwise, I don't have anyone else to pair you with.
I apologize.
Well, I've gotta go catch my flight. I'll begin PM'ing everyone on Monday evening.
Have a good weekend everyone!

I would say from this point on, consider anyone who post's from America to be on a waiting list or something, because this ratio is all sorts of fucked up.
BakedPigeon said:
Right now, we have an even amount of people. Not everyone is getting their preference (Which would have been extremely hard to accomplish anyway, there just isn't enough variety in the locations.) However, everyone should be getting a location different from their own. I think only one pair ended up with a US to US pairing because they wanted something found in a specific state in the US.
Everything is closed as of now, so this ratio will stick. If anyone has any problems, then they can scream at me on Monday haha.

Mmmmm same. Come to Butthead.vas_a_morir said:
Here are some of the (IMO) best candies Germany has to offer:
Those have only like a skin of bitter chocolate, underneath there's caramel
Are these international? I'm not sure.
Kind of the brother of Hanuta... Tastes different though
Some nice cookies
That one might be an exclusive flavor, but I don't know...
My favorite soda:
Not your usual sweetness in the face soda. You could call it bitter

I'm in the UK, perfectly happy to swap with anyone from elsewhere in the world. Travelling round Europe soon, so can provide a mix of stuff from Germany/Poland//Slovakia(no idea what sweets are like out there though...)/Austria/Switzerland/France.

As for me, I'm taking a break. Smash Bros. Brawl has been staring at me all day and I haven't gotten to play it yet.
I hope everyone gets some awesome goodies. Just make sure you are careful with the shipping and make sure to check on the shipping restrictions for your location!
Sorry for everyone that didn't get registered in time, hopefully we can do it again!
