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?

@ItBeStefYo: @Asator:

Thanks guys! I always wanted to send them some fun stuff, and I just knew that mashed up Aryan kids would do the trick. It makes me feel all warm inside to see Vinny holding my letter. I just know the rest of the office will love that candy!

Hope you like salt!

I love how all fellow nordic countrys gather in joy for these candy mailbags. Other country's have wierd stuff but nothing has shocked the bomb crew as salty licorice from Sweden! Those bombcasts a pure comedic gold! A lot of that stuff was swedish candy though...

Why is it so hard to manage licorice for them? One of the most intense stuff America got (of what I tasted) is Fire Balls, big hard candy balls with cinnamon flavour. Those has a similar effect. It takes a while before they kick in. When i tested that for the first time it felt like my mouth was on fire!

Was this Patrick's first crazy European candy box? Or rather, since the 30th hasn't happened yet, will this be his first? Also, Vinny has the mannerisms of a smoker even more than Ryan does, which is weird because Ryan looks like he smells like cigarettes.

The bag of Dragsters sends shivers down my spine. It radiates salmiak. I actually fear candy like that.

During the Xboxalypse, at one point when Ryan left and Dave took over, the chat asked where Ryan went, and Dave said "a little thing called nicotine, folks." Dunno if he was joking around or not, though.

Eating contest on Big Live Live Show Live. Who can eat the most disgustingly salted candies?

Or they should do a relay eating contest. GB vs Gamespot vs other guests.

Bonbon still exists? That's awesome!

I remember their, uh, creative names such as Boogers, Birdshit, Garbage, Big Titties (Something to bite into - Take multiple in your mouth) and Earwax.

Also, yes, I haven't tried the "canned kid" brand myself but leverpastej is pretty great on a sandwich. Even if you hate liver!

Djungelvrål as well as Turkisk Peber ranks very high in terms of candy for me, with Djungelvrål coming out on top. Always bummed out to hear you guys don't appreciate the salty hatred.

Damn you, salty foreign candy from the future!!!

I'm not sure what Vinny's "Bust Downs" nickname is all about, but I like it.

@Kinapuff: This is pretty common for Americans to say about candy from the Outside. On average, candy from other places tends to be way salty compared to our way-too-sweet candy.That, or it's from Japan, and is just super strange.

I think my fellow Americans tend to be crazy...but then, I don't like chocolate, or most candies...no matter the country of origin. So I think everyone's crazy. (I'm the crazy one is what I'm saying)

I do not understand candy and salt.. And I no longer understand nicotine, either. That sure was a bitch though, learning not to understand that, meaning nicotine..

The kit-kat or kvikk lunsj are really good. Most Norwegian chocolates are awesome. However the rest of their "candies" are really odd.
