🌈🦄📦 THE UNICORN MAIL THREAD 📦🦄🌈

[veronika23]

So it looks like unicorn mail is taking over the Party Thread.  A while back @Mcakes suggested to me that it should have it's own thread. I also saw a few people mention it too since then.  Well I think it's time because the love is overflowing and everyone likes to see an unboxing! I know it's one of my favorite parts of BT. 

🖤🌈🦄📦🖤 Post your unicorn mail here!!!! 🖤🌈🦄📦🖤

Unicorn Mail: A random act of kindness. Essentially a gift/token of appreciation/pick me up/treat received from a fellow member of the community.

@jozkid That's what I was picturing but maybe without the chocolate on it? Do the coffee crisps have a chocolate coating too?

[jozkid]

Nope, they have a chocolate covering @ShortErica

When I was in Toronto a couple of years ago @ShortErica, I tried Coffee Crisps and honestly did not care for them. They reminded me of a Nestles Crunch Bar. After taking a bite of it I gave it to the person I was with and that person said the same thing.

[ShortErica]

I used to get a Nestles crunch bar after gymnastics when I was a kid @Loretta55. At one time it was my favorite though I haven't had one in years probably. Maybe I had a mini in the Halloween candy..hmm

[Loretta55]

I never cared for rice cereal and that is what that reminds me of @ShortErica . You mentioned the Reese’s Peanut Butter eggs, that is a personal favorite. I always bring my Halloween candy to work for everybody else to eat or I will devour everything. I always said Easter is my favorite food holiday.

[ShortErica]

@Loretta55 my coworker and I were discussing how the egg is the best shape. Better than the other holiday ones and better than the original cup. That ratio of chocolate and peanut butter is perfect!

[Loretta55]

Every Easter, I always told my MIL just get me a half pound peanut butter filled egg because everything else would go to waste @ShortErica . Many of local candy shops sell them. I consider myself a peanut butter connisour

[ShortErica]

I forget where you are from @Loretta55 (if you've mentioned it) but yep, that was Easter.

[Loretta55]

OMG!!!! That is exactly what I was thinking of @ShortErica. I need a little self restraint because I have been eating too much and my work uniforms are feeling a bit tight. I am going to try not to have dessert at Easter dinner though.

[ShortErica]

You've got more self restraint than me @Loretta55. If they are already more snug, a little more snugness from Easter dessert is okay before I then watch what I eat. Haha!

[Loretta55]

It’s not easy @ShortErica ,but I feel it is important to me because I am on my feet for my entire 8 hour shift at work. I need to feel comfortable and confident. 

Also, when my son is here we as a family enjoy eating out and we do overindulge. 

[ShortErica]

Interesting..  I guess people do chocolate and coffee.

[jozkid]

That’s mocha @ShortErica  😁

[ShortErica]

I'm so naive in the world of coffee @jozkid 😂 I think I would do okay on a quiz on tea and hot chocolate though.

[Loretta55]

I had half a pot of Smart Sips Chocolate Amaretto coffee this morning chased with a cup of skim milk @ShortErica . Unfortunately I am a huge coffee drinker not a tea drinker. I am addicted to caffeine so I am no good until I have my morning coffee.

While watching Strahan and Sara at work, a couple of months ago, there was a Shark Tank episode that Smart Sips was featured. If anybody is a coffee drinker and likes flavored coffees, I can not recommend them enough! Customer service is superb! The selection is great!

@jozkid  kit kats are a different Canadian chocolate bar! They are yummy too. I need to get address so I can send some your way! We have lots of yummy treats here! @ShortErica 

[ShortErica]

@ather Hahaha..it appears I've been missing out. What type of treats are in Canada and not the U.S. and vice versa? Is there somewhere else on BIC this has been discussed so I can reference it?

[ather]

@ShortErica  There is so many things that we can get here and it’s not in the US and things you get there that we don’t get here. I’m not sure if there’s a post or not. Some things I can think of off the top of my head are Smarties you have a candy called smarties but we have chocolate smarties, ketchup chips, dill pickle chips, crunchie bar, wonder bar, mr. big bar, crispy crunch bar, mars bars, aero bar and all dressed chips. There could be more. And I could be wrong on some of them but those are the ones I remember missing when I was visiting the US. 

[jozkid]

@ather   The US is coming up in the world. You can get dill pickle chips here now. 👍

Are sea salt and vinegar chips a thing there?  Cape Cod brand makes lobster flavor chips as well as honey Dijon. 

[ragdoll4mom]

Have you tried the Lay's Flaming Hot Dill Pickle Chips (US)?  At first I thought that sounded so gross, but gave it a try anyways.  They are super yummy!  Hope that is the winning Lay's flavor this year.

[ShortErica]

Very interesting @ather. Now I'm off to Google and see what else it tells me I'm missing. Though I need more candy like a hole in the head - ha!
