🌈🦄📦 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.

So much fun @sprocketta !   Enjoy all your goodies!

[ShortErica]

I honestly can't swallow how much kindness is on BIC - it's overwhelming. Saturday I was hoping to pick up the honey mask to participate in the Monthly Masking Meetup and also wanted to find the butt masks (if you aren't at least viewing the Masking Challenge you're missing out!) at Ulta. Well, neither was at my local stores. So I was bummed. Not the end of the world but you know how those days are when you expect XYZ and none of it happens.

I get home to find a huge package. @missjeanie went above and beyond to share Canadian treats with me.

The box:

Trying to lay it all out:

We opened the ketchup chips and one of the twins liked them and one of the twins didn't. I enjoyed trying but they are the type of chip I could only eat a few at a time vs. normally I could eat a whole bag. Haha.

I let the boys have some of the Smarties. Reminded me of M&M's but maybe more shell?

When I think Smarties I think this:

The boys showing off their treat:

TV informercial guy: "But wait there's more!"

Inside the box was a ton of masks:

So many to try! I think I'm most excited for the Yadah snail because I had such a good experience with my other Yadah masks. My face will be beautiful for sure. 🙂

@missjeanie not only do you read my mind and write my thoughts but you must also know my moods because this was the amazing pick up I needed on Saturday. Who cares about honey and butt masks when you have treats and tons of other options. Thank you thank you thank you!

[ShortErica]

@missjeanie - this was so fun! I still have plenty of masks to try but the food hasn't survived long in my household. Hahaha.

I'd say the Wunderbar and Caramilk were my favorites. I can't pinpoint what the inside of a Crunchie reminds me of and it is kinda driving me crazy. The Big Turk was interesting. I don't associate that inside with chocolate coating but it was good.

My husband downed the hickory sticks though I was able to try a few. They had a BBQ like flavor. He and the kids ate all the Swedish berries (like Swedish fish). We all shared the coffee crisps and I took some to work..gotta protect my goodies. Haha. I let the kids mostly enjoy the Smarties.

I think I just have the packets left to try. Thanks again for this Canadian eating adventure!

[missjeanie]

Anytime @ShortErica ! I already have a few things in mind that I forgot last time, so you never know when another will show up! Lol

[ShortErica]

Oh geez @missjeanie! I wonder if I can fool my husband that I didn't receive a package. Hahaha. Though he's always the one to get the mail.

[missjeanie]

Lol... I’ll see if I can fool Mr. Short with a random box? Lol

[ShortErica]

@missjeanie my husband and I split the Caramilk last night. Can you tell maybe I like caramel...and chocolate? Hahaha. He also let the boys have Coffee Crisps yesterday so I took some to work so they wouldn't disappear before I got to try. It reminded me of Kit Kat but more wafer, less chocolate. Definitely didn't get the coffee taste which worked for me. The Caramilk kinda reminded me of caramel doves. My husband said it seemed familiar too but we couldn't place it with a U.S. candy bar. This is so fun trying the different candy. Thank you again for your package! I've been loving it all.

[missjeanie]

@ShortErica @I’ve never really found coffee crop to be very coffee like either. I have had some people say a caramilk is like a caramelo bar? Which I believe is also made by cadbury. 

Lol I’m glad you’re having fun with it!

[eshoe]

Aww @ShortErica how many treats can @missjeanie fit into a box is what I want to know! Enough for even your boys, how thoughtful of her. 💗 seeing all of this generousity, what an amazing place BIC is!

[ShortErica]

It is indeed @eshoe! Speaking of, I have more treats to report on. 🙂

[tsavorite]

@ShortErica , @missjeanie ,

I think that you can't go wrong with Canadian candies and Canadian potato chip flavors!  I love the ones that I've tried, thanks to @veronika23 , including Ketchup flavored chips!  Coffee Crisps are the best candy bar ever!  Wonderful package of goodies!  Enjoy the great masking ahead!

[ShortErica]

Thanks so much @tsavorite!

[Buootiful]

Haha in the spirit of this convo, do the Coffee Crisps taste like coffee flavored Butterfingers? 🙂 @ShortErica 

[ShortErica]

Nope @Buootiful. It is more like a thicker, lighter wafer kit kat and less chocolate coating in my opinion. I didn't taste coffee either. But definitely no crispity crunchity peanut butteryness about it. 🙂

[Buootiful]

Aw, man! Glad it's still good candy 🙂 @ShortErica 

[Danzie89]

looks like you got some fantastic Canadian goodies! I LOVE ketchup chips (they were recently for sale for a short time here in the US), so I stocked up. I’m so jealous of coffee crisp too! Smarties in Canada are like super hard shell m&ms with less chocolate flavor. I’m in awe of the variety!

[ShortErica]

Thanks @Danzie89 - I've been enjoying trying all the variety!

[itsfi]

@missjeanie sent some awesome goodies your way @ShortErica! Enjoy your goodies!

[ShortErica]

Yes she did! I am trying to pace eating the deliciousness @itsfi. Though I'm not sure how good of a job I'm doing. 😂

[ShortErica]

@missjeanie the wunderbar gets a big thumbs up. Peanut butter and caramel - delicious! I cut it in half to share with my husband but then decided to eat the other half myself. Whoops!

[eshoe]

Oh my goodness @ShortErica @veronika23 @sent some of those my way and they were sooooooo good!
