We're both named Shelley and we both love candy!!!

user1797 08/30/2006 #

This sounds great;

I just need to tell my partner I like anything, but can't handle spearmint. It gives me a sick headache : (

Farruska 08/31/2006 #

:) well guess is better to tell my to-be-partner that i loooove candy, specially japanese, but also the strangest the better :D (just saw one today filled with chilli heheh) but I'm deadly allergic to grfapefruit and if there is a flavor I really don't like is mint and alcaçus (the black herby ones) :)

user3344 09/ 3/2006 #

Looking forward to this :)

Whoever gets to be my partner, I so do not love licorice! At all! Other than that, I have a very healthy sweet tooth. Oh but candy filled with chilli? Don't know about that one, farruska! :)

princessfiona 09/ 9/2006 #

i love most things fruity especially and i love jolly ranchers which we cant get in the uk HINT HINT!!!! jelly bellys are another fave but i love suprises!!!

cookiemonster07 09/11/2006 #

I love any candy.I will probably have to share with my kids so no liqueur filled please!I also don't like black licorice blech... But other than that I love anything sweet!

user2899 09/12/2006 #

ooo i love candy to ..however to my partner please send only soft candy i have no teeth..also would love some of those liquer filled yummy..i can hardly wait to get my box together..guys i am enjoying these swaps so much..brenda

user3585 09/14/2006 #

Please NO licorice, no liqueur, mint or spearmint, candy with something that fuzzes in the mouth (when you reach the middle like chuppa chupp or whatever it's spelled ;P) if possible! I don't eat those. I'm open to japanese/asian candies and anything that tastes sweeeeeeett or surprises ;P

Agnetha 09/14/2006 #

My to be partner: Please NO liqueur filled, licorice, nuts.

I do LOVE: Chocolate (especially milk), soft sweets, m&m/smartis kind of stuff

user3472 09/15/2006 #

Hello just to say to my partner im allergic to peanuts!! but everything else is fine :)

Misalady 09/15/2006 #

To my swap partner: I just have a sweet tooth. There's not any candy that I DON'T really like.

However, I LOVE White Rabbit candies, KinderEggs (I love these so so much), old fashioned candies, anything strong flavored (some of the spicy candies, candied ginger, strong black licorice, etc.) and anything "novelty" whether it's flavor or how it looks, etc. And, of course, chocolate. No pressure, though. Like I said, I just have a sweet tooth and I happen to love swapping.

user3618 09/15/2006 #

To my swap partner: I love chocolate, gummy candy, anything really, except black licorice. Otherwise, bring on the candy!!

starlawill 09/15/2006 #

there isn't much i don't like when it comes to candy! of course chocolate being my absolute favorite! the only thing i don't like is black licorice. icky icky! i am such a sweet addict! i have no allergies at all. this is a bonus swap too cause any interesting wrappers can be used in my atc's and other craftiness! :) sweet! hyuck hyuck!

Superloud 09/16/2006 #

For my partner: I love dark chocolate and fruity things. But not a big fan of licorice or nuts.

Lunaria 09/16/2006 #

I do like licorice, unlike most others posting here, and dark chocolate, nuts, old fashioned penny candy, molasses-mint salt water taffy, chocolate mint lentils, and if you are sending from outside th eUS, anything would be great, I love to try new things!

Cassandra 09/16/2006 #

I like: milk chocolate with nuts, m&m's are my favorite, chocolate covered raisens, malt balls, smarties, sweet tarts. This is about it.

user2899 09/16/2006 #

user3531 09/20/2006 #

Tankgirl....any help on what you like or dont like??

user2109 09/25/2006 #

Zora, I just put your box in the mail and they've told me it will take 4 to 7 days. Be on the look out for a box of goodies!

snazzy1113 09/25/2006 #

I want to apologize to my swap partner because I've been swamped and without a car at college (meaning I have no way of getting off campus) and therefore unable to send the stuff on time. I promise to get it out this week though! Again, I'm REALLY sorry. I wish my college wasn't so isolated...

user3340 09/26/2006 #

i sent my box today, i hope it arrives safely!!! maybe 5 to 7 days. i sent to libbybear, be on the look out! :)

user3531 09/26/2006 #

Tankgilr....I apologize...I will be sending the box by next Monday for sure...we have been dealing with my grandfather that just had bypass surgery... if you need to please email me at kcn_1969@hotmail.com

Tankgirl 09/27/2006 #

No worries Happymomma....I hope your grandfather is doing well.

Sorry I forgot to post what I like, but I love ALL candy, so I will love whatever I get! And again, don't worry about the lateness....

:)

Farruska 09/27/2006 #

:) sent! I hope she likes it :) will take around 5 days to arrive they told me at the post office

swonnell 10/ 1/2006 #

Just received my package! Thank you so much to my sender in Port Alberni, Britsh Columbia!! I adore everything - esp. the Aero bars!!

Agnetha 10/ 1/2006 #

There's a pic in the gallery but it can't surely be from this swap (pic number 3). Looks too tiny for that.

shelley 10/ 1/2006 #

Yum, I got a box full of delicious treats from Priscilla! But I have to admit, I just couldn't eat the candy boogers.

Farruska 10/ 2/2006 #

@Agnetha pic number 3 as you see is from me to Corine and it does belong to this swap, and already received Corine's good feedback through email. Is that quality or quantity that matters? I guess to you would be quantity so I'll keep that in mind if by any chance you become my partner in some future swap, don't worry about that) Just for notice, the typical portuguese sweets alone (the squared caramelized ones) costed more than the minimum value of this swap. on an aside note and don't take it personally, I found it very rude from you to comment on someonelse's received swap, if anybody should have any remarks to make like you seemed to, would be the receiver, which is, of course, not you. best regards.

user3489 10/ 3/2006 #

Miss Sarah, I was your swap partner! I am so glad you liked your package. Aeros are my favorites too!

Agnetha 10/ 3/2006 #

farruska: I'm sorry. It wasn't my intention to make it sound like that. When I looked at the picture I got the impression that it was from 2 persons as it said Germany and Portugal. So I thought that it can't be for this swap as half of the stuff were from someone in Germany and half from someone in Portugal. I'm sorry that I missunderstood.

Farruska 10/ 3/2006 #

@ Agnetha, just a missunderstanding ;) if you take a look at my profile you'll see i'm portuguese but living in Germany. Getting the "best of the 2 worlds" (or hope so!)

Agnetha 10/ 3/2006 #

farruska: Looking at your profile now I totally understand the portugese and german stuff. Hope it's no hard feeling! I'm sorry once again!!

Farruska 10/ 3/2006 #

:) No problem at all Agnetha. And if you'd like to try some portuguese delicatessen let me know ;) we're always requesting our parents to send a package from home! Amazing the simplest thing one misses when one's living abroad!!!!

Agnetha 10/ 4/2006 #

Is there anyone more who has recieved their packages????? Would love to see pics as it's so fun to see what people have in their countries!!

user3340 10/ 5/2006 #

has my partner recieved thier pack? i paid for faster shipping so i think it should have been there by now...i cant find out how to track it...but ill keep working on it. i am also eagerly awaiting my candy ;) as soon as i recieve i will post a pic! thanks sarah

user2899 10/ 5/2006 #

user2899 10/ 5/2006 #

princessfiona 10/ 5/2006 #

starlawill 10/ 6/2006 #

user2899 10/ 6/2006 #

Shelley let me know when it arrives and also i can hardly wait to get mine now.. brenda

user3275 10/ 6/2006 #

Whew, I was beginning to wonder if I was the only one who hadn't recieved anything yet. Hopefully it will arrive soon. Sheila

Rebekah 10/ 7/2006 #

I haven't received my package yet and it looks like my partner didn't send. This is a bummer since the swap cost a lot to put together and send:(

Agnetha 10/ 7/2006 #

I wonder if my partner has recieved my parcel yet???? It's going a long way so I know it might take a bit longer. But it probably should be there by now (or early next week).

user3340 10/ 8/2006 #

have not received, nor heard if my parnter in the uk reveived there pack.

cookiemonster07 10/ 9/2006 #

I haven't received either.Don't even know who my partner is.Is it the same person we sent to? I would just like an email or something to say I have a partner!I have already sent mine and she received it last week.

cookiemonster07 10/ 9/2006 #

please disregard previous message.People like me who don't read stuff all the way through should be thwacked soundly and often.Thanks for your patience.

Agnetha 10/ 9/2006 #

goldenpetals: Don't worry :) Sometimes it's easy to write too fast....write first and read and think afterwards :)

Agnetha 10/10/2006 #

Surely there must be more who has recieved their package by now !?!

user3490 10/10/2006 #

I just wanted to make a comment that this is an international swap and it seems that there were a lot of overseas participants, so some people may not get there swap boxes for a few weeks yet. I know that I had to send boxes to Australia and Singapore, and they will take about a month to arrive. To send them any faster was WAY too expensive (ie. $60). I guess all I am saying is that we knew we were getting into an international swap, so we should all be patient. I signed up all four members of my family, and we have only received one box, but I haven't even begun worrying yet.

Agnetha 10/11/2006 #

I'm just curious to find out if my partner likes my candy :) And a bit worried too I guess as the post office say it takes about 6-7 days to reach my destination who I sent to (halfway around the world). So should be reached by now :) Guess I'm also exhited to see pictures of what other people had as it's so fun to see what you guys have in your countries!!

cookiemonster07 10/12/2006 #

My post office said 6-7 days as well and it took 3 weeks!Can't trust the post office on delivery times.Especially international shipping.

Agnetha 10/14/2006 #

I know you can't trust the post office to 100%....but I have sent packages after this one (not to the same country but not far away) and they have been picked up!! So it's strange.....55 members and only 5 pictures so far of packages!!

Tankgirl 10/16/2006 #

I'm still waiting, but my partner informed me it would be late, so I'm not too worried yet.

Agnetha 10/17/2006 #

Nice to see pictures of some more packages :) Hope there will be more who wants to share with us :)

user2573 10/19/2006 #

Still waiting for my swap package :o(

user3344 10/20/2006 #

chengwa121, have you received your goodies yet? I sent them a week after the deadline, but they should have arrived by now! Hopefully customs did not eat all the delicious candy! Lol. Please let me know!

user2899 10/24/2006 #

Farruska 10/28/2006 #

user3340 11/15/2006 #

Rebekah1725 06/13/2009 #

I am looking for candies called Neapolitans: they are taffy with chocolate, coconut, and strawberry. You can sometime get them with bulk candy, but I cannot not find them in Ohio. Is there anyone out there that can exchange Neapolitans for other candy?
