Mailbag: I Love Mondays: Mailbag Edition

It's I Love Mondays, a Giant Bomb mailbag, PLUS a bonus Tested mailbag, all what goes in a one thing! Yeehaw!

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

You guys are going to kill the GiantBomb staff sending all these treats, or at the very least give them all diabetes.

An all-star video of ILM and mailbag madness! The last box with Brad testing the open bag and Vinny generally being awesome was so damn good - I retrospectively feel good about Monday now...

Get your own Mailbag Tested!  I like Tested yet I don't like Will.  It feels like we missed half of the first part of mail.  This just shows that Whiskey is lacking some major organization.  All things considered, the video was awesome.

" Those Paluszki snacks:  Legendarny is pretty much self-explanatory. In dutch however, we have the word 'smaak', which means 'taste'. Linguistic conundrum solved.   "

it's funny how all our european languages are just a random cluster of variations of the same words most of the time :D "
Yeah, when I saw that I kind of assumed that "smaak" couldn't possibly be the same word as the swedish word "smak", meaning taste. But it was. Awesome.
I love finding out about words that are shared among languages. Especially when they are in seemingly even more foreign languages like russian or turkish.

Yeah, sending them more swedish stuff to let them know that not everything over here is disgusting vacuum sealed rotten fish  Daim (crap, I can remember when it was still named Dajm, they changed the spelling in 1990 to make reading the name easier in the export markets) isn't even close to being the best candy we got.
Which Swedish sodas are you talking about though? I have always thought Champis, Pommac, Trocadero and Cuba Cola were rather boring and tasteless though the Cuba Cola has a rather interesting history.
Would be rather funny sending them the swedish, german, italian and russian versions of the official Coca-Cola drink, since that tastes wildly different in different countries. I've never tried the US version, but considering they use corn syrup instead of sugar I guess they don't taste anything like each other.

Not sure if it's already been said, but "Smak" is also the word for "flavor" or "taste" in Ukrainian and Russian, which makes sense seeing as both are pretty close to Polish, I would never have imagined that it was the same word in so many languages though, that's pretty awesome.

They are pretty boring, and that's the point. They seem to get so much extravagant junk with, like, random fruit stuff in them, or brightly colored insanity that looks like it'd burn your gums out from the sugar. I'd  probably go for a Trocadero and a Portello, because I like those, myself, and they're typically Swedish. But yeah, I'd kinda be tempted to send them a bottle of Dr Pepper, too, as I'm firmly convinced our DrP is much better than the American variety.

If it has real sugar and not awful corn syrup, then you're 100% right.

This is probably the best mail bag video ever. At least in terms of quantity. I'd like to request that Drew and Ana be in more videos. We don't see them enough.

@LordCmdrStryker:  If I remember correctly, on the pre-Bombcast podcasts, they would taste different drinks they came across (Gatorade Tiger, etc). Then people started sending in regional beverages for the Guys to try. Then followed candy, chips, etc. Now it's just madness.

To answer the Jeff & Vinny question of the Goro action figure coming out, yes it did!  I owned it, and it came in a two pack with Johnny Cage.  I used to pretty much just pose them in the Johnny Cage ballz punch with Goro in pain.

Watching HD on my crappy connection, means I got let it buffer for 10mins before it'll let me watch continuously. Not that I mind waiting.
