Mailbag: Giant Bomb Mailbag: Plenty of Fish...er, Snacks Edition

It still smells like dead haddock in here.

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

Awesome to finally se a Norwegian package! Hilarious to hear Jeff attempt to read Norwegian. I give him credit for the fact that it was possible to make out what he was reading.

So while not important and perfectly understandable given the packaging, they misunderstood the third chocolate. The first small one, "Kvikk Lunsj" (Fast Lunch) was indeed the Norwegian KitKat. The second one was indeed the pure milk chocolate. The third one was a combination of the first two. The description on the third one translates to: "Freia (the manufacturer) milk chocolate with pieces of "Kvikk Lunsj" wafers and a sprinkle of sea salt". Thats why the wafers were distributed in the chocolate.

Such hybrid combinations of milk chocolate and pieces of other already well known chocolates have become quite popular here. Recently they even released one with pieces of oreos

Oreo and milk chocolate hybrid similar to the one with Kvikk Lunsj in the mailbag

@pliny: I guess what I'm trying to say is that jerky is never cooked, it's dried. Sometimes low heat (under 80°C) is used to help the process, but it's not cooked in the traditional sense. Raw meat is raw, cooked meat is cooked, jerky is dried (sometimes with heat).

The amount of excitement Dan had over hamburger helper singles is quite alarming.

I'm pretty sure Dan "what-does-that-word-mean" Ryckert has never read a book in his life.

What's with Dan's aversion to salt? I guess he can't be a part of any mailbag now.

I can see why folks get caught up on the heat/fire/warming part of cooking and suddenly start setting up camps to fight over what is real cooking or whatnot. Especially if they, for example, only read the first sentence in wikipedia and call it a day on research, before reaching the third sentence in wikipedia. We all got our hangups AND this is the internet! I prefer the inclusive stance myself.

He seems to have an aversion to, like...95% of all foods. Dude's got some weird Food Issues, 'parently.

Jeff is clearly going to do a heel turn and try to usurp Dan as leader of #TeamBoneless.

Jeff turn heel? Isn't he already? ;) :p

I got unreasonably upset when Dan just claimed leadership for Team Boneless. Almost makes me want to flips sides just to spite that bullshit.
