Mailbag: Giant Bomb Mailbag: Bork Bork Bork Edition

Jeff opens a box and can INSTANTLY READ SWEDISH.

What's in the mail? Is it an old T-shirt? A lunchbox full of rusty knives? Video game treasures? Canadian energy drinks?

The book of Swedish folk tales is because Brad was really enjoying Year Walk, right?

I thought it would be explained in the note but apparently not.

Really glad us swedes didn't screw it up this time with things like DjungelvrĂĄl or Salta Droppar or Hockeypulver. Sockerdricka is kind of bland though. It's like unflavoured soda.

Sockerdricka = Sugar Drink, it tastes like you would expect. Never heard of that 21 drink. Portello is weird, I've never liked it, although some people love it.

Nah same, Arvid man! reveal yourself and explain where that 21 soda was from, I bet its some local brewery somewhere, I am sure its not from the north or the south and not middle. So this is mystery shit!

Jeff needs to get a proper knife. Every time he uses that folding credit-card thing, it looks like he is going to slice his fingers off.

At least he wasn't cutting towards himself like he usually does…

I bet drinking a 21 is just like drinking three 7's one after the other.
