C'mon, dudes. What's with the general hating on black licorice?

It's disgusting, and also potentially unsafe.

 

[NeoRausch]

I'm going to send a boatload of the finest Dutch salty liquorice.

That'll teach all the haters a lesson

maybe we get paired together!

just bought a kilo of double zouten (<---not sure if that's written right) and it's awesome!...and makes thirsty as fuck! :3

Hope I'll get paired up with the US, so I don't think so. And yes, dubbel zout is so good, it makes you tongue hurt!

I can make this happen.

Always wanted to do this but was always afraid of disappointing the other person. It just seems like american candy is just so... plain! Although I guess I do have access to getting Mexican candy...

One of these days I'll muster up the courage.

• I want weird stuff / stuff I can't find where I live
• If you send me licorice, I will hunt you. Nothing with coffe either.

 

[Nugg]

It's depressing how many people don't know about these exchanges or don't see the thread, and then when the swaps are all completed people will come into the thread asking when the next one will be.

Yeah I always miss these threads. Do we have a 2012 Secret Santa yet?

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

Would trade just about anything for a box of Tangy Taffy. Where oh where did that go?

I'm not gay, but I could be gay for Tangy Taffy.

 

[ShinNL]

OH MY GAAAAAWWWWDD.

I was just talking with my roommates about this and how I can't have candy anymore because I'm on Atkins, but I still loved the trading the last time I did it. But this time I'll be trading together with my roommates and so whatever I receive will be for the whole household

2 countries you would like to swap with
Nr.1 = Japan. Nr.2 = USA (already did this last time)

Things you like
Not sure how weird candy can get but preferably keeping this vegan because of the different roommates
Edit: Apparently pure vegan is pretty hard because of guillotine and stuff, but as vegetarian as possible at least

Things you dislike, cannot have or allergic to
As far as I know none of us do, but maybe I need to edit this later

Extra info about my country:
A Dutch country-wide children event is coming soon (Dec. 5th) and we'll definitely be including some of those rare authentic Dutch candies that you can only find at this time of year and in this country.


My last trade was with adamsappel some time ago.

Well some bad news guys. I started pairing people up, I've had to bump some U.S. participants back to he waiting list. The number of non U.S. participants who prefer to trade with U.S. isn't enough. Plus Canadians, I'd prefer not to pair you with U.S. So pairing you win non U.S. will take awar from the choice I have to pair hem with.

It's actually harder than I thought.

It's actually harder than I thought.

When I ran the swap a couple years ago, I stopped accepting new participants from the US/Canada at a certain point, and held the door open to folks from other countries due to the imbalance. It took a few days, but doing so allowed me to complete the matching process.

Just thought I'd offer the suggestion.

 

[Bearded Dudebro]

Well, I had done that. But some didn't want to be lumped in with the U.S.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Well, I had done that. But some didn't want to be lumped in with the U.S.

I guess I missed where the US was locked out, I thought it was still open for everyone, my bad. I removed my entry.

 

[Bearded Dudebro]

Better news. I put Canadians back in with U.S. Means I had to bump a couple Canadians to the waiting list. But because the matches work out better, I didn't have to bump as many over all. I think we'll stick with U.S. and Canada together, and limit the slots. I'll move people up as we get more registrations.

What I'll do this time is still pair people up, but keep registration going to see if we can get those last U.S. and Canadians matched up. Next swap will run much better I think.

So, U.S. and Canadian registrations have no slots.
If you're from another country and want to sign up, sign up knowing that you will be paired with someone from the waiting list.

I guess I missed where the US was locked out, I thought it was still open for everyone, my bad. I removed my entry.

After a bit, I stopped replying to each new addition and just started adding people to the waiting list. No need to remove your entry, you're not impeding anyone. I just hope I can get you matched up.

 

[TurbulentTurtle]

So are registrations closing tomorrow then, if we're following the 3 week registration thing.

 

[Bearded Dudebro]

I'm gonna pair people up tomorrow.

 

[SKINNER!]

Soooooo looking forward to this. To my future partner, you better have a list ready!
