Mailbag: Giant Bomb Mailbag: East Meets West Edition

Wait, you're telling me Australia and Austria are two different places!?!

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

I have a t-shirt that says "No Kangaroos in Austria". Pretty clever, huh?

At the risk of sounding like the biggest Japanophile, like, ever (I swear I'm not): 
 

  • Ramune =/= Ramen. Ramune is this crazy Japanese soft drink in a glass bottle with a marble in it that they sell at Suncoast video and weird grocery stores.
  • You can totes get some booze in a rectangular container in Japan.

RoyalJelly is from Chrono Cross.  That counts as a reference as far as I'm concerned.  Use Red Elements to defeat it!

So there's a world out there where people dont know Mozartkugeln or Überraschungseier. What a sad gloomy world it must be.

Kinder Eggs! I used to love those things. And I always thought they were american, but since no one seemed to know about it, I guess I was wrong.
 
Also, just to creep people out:

Oh wow, do they not have Kinder Surprise in America? They seemed to be surprised to find a toy inside the chocolate egg. We have them in Canada so I just assumed they had them in Canada's pants too. Weird.

k, i just want to say, that I hate this Will Smith character. He's not funny at all, and makes terrible comments. Please, don't include him in any videos... ever. If I wanted to watch him, then I would visit tested.com... but that site sucks, so I won't. Thanks.

Ramune candies are great (just like the drink!)

But who's the asshole who sent you a Kinder product other than Kinder Bueno? You can get Kinder eggs anywhere.

1. Looks like Drew's the most familiar with the international scene (Kinder Surprises are awesome)
2. All taste-testers should follow Jeff's lead. (Shove food into mouth, create awesome faces)

Duders.. what the fuck is WRONG with you. Will is awesome. I've been reading his stuff for years since the days he used to work for Maximum PC, and I couldn't believe that he came to work for Whiskey. Whiskey is very fortunate to have him on board.
