    Jenissej and I exchange treat parcels

    Discussion in 'The Lounge' started by mashers, Aug 24, 2018.

    Hi everyone!

    Recently, @Jenissej and I decided to send each other packages of treats from our respective countries. I got mine today, and hers will be sent tomorrow (due in part to not wanting it to melt in the heatwave, and in part due to massive disorganisation on my part).

    I decided to do an "unboxing" video to show my reaction when I opened it. I have to say, it's been a really fun experience, and a great part of getting to know a new international buddy :-D

    Now I'm really looking forward to our Christmas parcels. So much stollen......... so many lebkuchen........ all the marzipan...........

    I can't wait to have an excuse to devour an entire box of sweets. Also, the Christmas version will be grand, I promise.

    Nooo! It's all there in the letter. Does no one read user manuals anymore? :superlaugh:

    Precisely. These are gifts sent between foreign nationals, for diplomatic purposes. To not consume them immediately would be basically racist.

    I can't wait :-D
    No :rofl:

    Urgh man why did I not think to film unboxing my Swedish candy :rant:. @Lemie sends me care packages semi-regularly, whenever she decides I need some extra sweetness in my life. I send her back *ahem* other things when I decide to spoil her. It's a good way to stay connected. And important to write letters to each other! You need to have physical stuff and not just ones and zeros.

    Anyway, mazeltov! I hope you enjoyed your box ;)

    Seriously though, Swedish candy is best candy.

    Thanks! That’s a massive compliment as I’m slightly in love with that character :rofl:

    I can’t put into words how much I do :crazy:

    Yes :bigtongue: I worked in IT years ago, and still people ask me to fix their computers for them. So it’s a useful t-shirt ;)

    You did not try the Baumkuchen immediately thought. That was the real test.
    You've given serious offence to my people. Leopard IIs are being readied as we speak. I'm trying to bring about reconciliation but cannot promise anything...

    Bring it. We will eat Ritter sport on the beaches, and in the hills and the valleys, we will eat leberkuchen in the streets and in the sewers, we will never stop eating....

    I did not want it to end this way. But the Laser Cannon is primed. I'm sorry it had to be like this.

    Lebkuchen and Leberkuchen are two very different things. :rofl:

    You should've eaten the cake. Why did you not eat the cake? Why?

    But maybe there is hope yet... you have to do the Ahoj Brause challenge. It is the only way.

    13 posts in and we're already getting ready for the first ever World War III: Candy edition. Willy Wonka can play the reincarnation of Winston Churchill for this one.

    Oh, neat vid, Mash. You look like your avatar.

    Lord, this is the most wholesome thing I’ve seen all week.

    If eating cake is what is required to avert this conflict, then it's a sacrifice I am prepared to make. My diplomats will be in contact to discuss terms.

    We will consider your proposal. Stand down your warships and expect contact within the hour.

    It's not actually meant to be me, but I do take it as a compliment.

    Then maybe Leberkuchen is for you after all? :D

    [​IMG]

    These all sound like trap sweets. I'm suspicious.

    @Moon candy is serious business. The Leopards are being loaded with Werthers Original and our jets are stocking up on Riesen to drop onto strategic locations. I'm only hoping @mashers can fulfil the diplomatic demands in time, or else... the fields will be awash in Brause. The horror will be unimaginable.



    @CoyoteKing I'm also digging the turn this thread is taking.

    Not gonna lie, the guy on the left is hot :rofl:

    This reminded me of the slaughter scene in Sausage Party—a memory which you dredged up from my then very stoned brain :-D

    Disgusting though they are, I managed to restrain myself and sent something which I hope will be palatable :-D
