From Pennsylvania to Brazil, Giant Bomb fans know about weird snacks and drinks!

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

Pennsylvania has the goods? That means that the state is filled with lesbians, but that can't be the case, can it? I've seen a lot of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and I don't remember a lot of lesbians in that show.

Except for the Guaraná, the rest is not really very Brazilian... yes, they're sold here, but you wouldn't say it's traditional Brazilian food.

I've tried their white birch beer... pretty good stuff. And we Pennsylvanians love our venison. I've been meaning to send some PA swag to the Giant Bomb crew for a while now. Expect more soda products, duders.

Damnit! It's not 5 uhs. The correct number of uhs is [whoopsie!] Get it right folks!

"Kutzville is like the dicey part of Kutztown" is the best unintentional pun I've heard in a while.

You guys should scan those posters in and use them as as the main images for your articles in the wiki, that would be sweet.

Look at all this stuff from Pennsylvania. It's like they're holding my home in their hands.  
 
Fun fact: my sister attended Kutztown University. Upon visiting we sometimes went to the Kutztown Bottling Works where those drinks are manufactured.

I have no idea what any of that means but I have the sudden urge to DO THE DEW
 
So excited for mailbags, they always make me feel so incredulous!
 
I never got the chance to see Drew's text at the bottom of his poster.  I'm sure if I were more up on my Drew memes I could intuit the answer.  Soda chugging perhaps?

Mailbags are some of the best videos. I don't know if the million Twinkies can be topped though.

"Fica frio, tudo bacana!"
 
Ryan's pronunciation wasn't bad, but just so you know, no one says that. And it also doesn't make a lot of sense.
 
Also, so weird to see candies that are so normal here being treated as something weird. By the way, Diamante Negro is awesome, you'll probably like it a lot.
 
As for the posters, those are damn sure awesome. I just couldn't make out what was written in Drew's.

Had a weird love of candy cigarettes when I was a kid, but man they are like eating slightly sweet chalk.

Because of Vinny's foul mouth, of course.
