Mailbag: Bust Downs' Mailbag - 08/30/2012

AY YO VINNY CARAVELLA WHAT SORT OF AWFUL SALTED CANDIES YOU GOT TODAY, KID?

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

Free candy, huh?

Edit: Oh hey! Pingvin candy is Danish :)

Edit2: It's not salt (as in kitchen salt), its ammonium chloride (I think).

Most of that chocolate should be licorice free, but sampling salty licorice first probably didn't help.

The mascot animals on foreign or off brand candy always just seem like racist caricatures to me, even when they're clearly not at all.

Haha, so much fun to see your reaction to Norwegian candy! Btw, Brad pronounced Japp correct.

I can't believe you guys don't like tyrkisk pepper! Those are delicious.

Can someone tell me where the Vinny with sunglasses, earpiece and the vest is from? I've been doing my best looking trough old Giant Bomb moments before I started following the site but I've yet to come by where that is from.

I'm the one that send that Chie figure. Hope you saw the clever card that came with it.

Leverpostej is "Liver Paste". It tastes fantastic with bacon or "rødbeder". Preferably you eat in on rye bread and you can even warm it up first to make it taste even more delicious.

Had an ice-cream bar that was liquorice-coated when I was in Sweden a few years ago. Delicioso!

I love the part where Jeff is pointing the camera at the skull glass. The camera is at such a distance that, despite looking with the macro switch both on and off, it doesn't become any clearer either way.

unless its a candy with the same name as the stuff i'm thinking of.
