Mailbag: Giant Bomb Mailbag: The Argentine Edition

Argentinian candy, custom coffee cups, and the wettest dry meat around.

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

I sent in two packs of throat discs a week ago. Too bad they didn't open it on camera.

Yes, some sweet of milk candy. And I do wish the gang would go back to eating and drinking to start the podcasts, or would film them trying this stuff. More food reviews on the gaming website.

Dulce de leche is pretty good. It is kind of liquid caramel.

So every time they have an Endurance Run they get a mug. I think they have a good thing going there.

 Awesome. I'm from Argentina. Great idea to send you guys candy.
Those Havanna and Guaymallen are called "ALFAJORES". Havanna, in fact, is a famous brand from a cost city called "Mar del Plata". If you go to Mar del Plata on vacation, you have to bring a box of Havanna.
And you should try "Dulce de Leche" on those circus peanuts. But we call that "merengue".
 
That cup RULES, btw.

 I RESEMBLE THAT LOCATION!
 
Have tried most of that stuff, and with all due respect to my native Argentina, everything tastes like something odd happened in the packaging plant.   
 
Having said that MARADONA GONNA WIN ANOTHER WORLD CUP FOR US!  And that's WHILE being doped up.

They should show the fish-can on one of these vids. I'm really curious what it looks like after hearing about it over a dozen times on the Bombcast.

As much as I love these, please don't have Jeff do the camera work again. I believe in the past it was always Brad or Ryan, and they did a much better job. Jeff was way too zoomed in the whole time so when he refocused on different things the constant sweeping of the camera became annoying/nauseating.

I wouldn't eat some of the stuff that comes through there. Not because I wouldn't like it, but because they probably have 40 elements and chemicals that could kill a rino in a few seconds. There's lead, mercury, cadmium, and probably a few man made chemicals that are illegal under FDA regulations. But, hey! May as well die happy. :)

Does someone play that bass on the background? Dulce de leche is absolutely my favorite sweet of all time. Mixed with some cookies or medias lunas (an argentinian moon-shaped pastry) it is killer.

This is hard to watch when you have been drinking.

I'm glad I was able to provide accurate shaky-cam analysis.

Sleep now.
