Offered: A care package OF FLAVOR! Of the sweet kind I guess.
Offer: A care package of candy! Because really, what can take care of you better than processed sugar? I assure you that I will not simply raid a single candy store and throw it in a box, but instead will use all of my knowledge and experience as a candy connoisseur to provide a wide range of delectable treats. Perfect for a ridiculous binge, or as an In Case of Emergency Stash. Some of the candy will come from the places that pop up when you google "candy store," "New York City," and "awesome," (Dylan's Candy Bar, Hershey's Time Square Store, Jacques Torres) but a fair amount will be from that coffee shop around the corner that has all the British candy bars, or that store in Chinatown with lots of Japanese candy (go figure), or the video game store that sells Mario lollipops sometimes. See? "All of my knowledge" indeed.
The bulk of the candy will be bulk candy (of course) from South Street Seaport and Aji Ichiban in Chinatown, because it is cheap, delicious, and will provide good padding for the rest. The rest will definitely include:
- Something to do with dinosaurs.
- Something sour.
- Something spicy. (I'm not cheating and throwing in some spicy snacks. This is spicy CANDY. Spicy CHOCOLATE even.)
- Something to do with New York City (candy subway! Probably not.)
- Something you probably see everyday.
- Something Japanese that is not pocky.
- Something Japanese that is pocky, but is not chocolate.
- Something too pretty to eat. (Eat it anyway.)
- Something too cute to eat. (Eat it anyway. Violently.)
- Something you are too old to eat. For instance, who over the age of twelve eats candy buttons? Or Paint Shop Lollipops? (DEFINITELY eat it anyway. No copping out and giving it to some greedy kid either.)
- Something too inedible to eat. Like a coin purse with the Hershey's symbol on it, or ANYTHING to do with M&Ms. There are dog toys and leather jackets with the M&M symbol on it! You're not getting a leather jacket. (Eat it anyway. No, that's a bad idea.)
- A handwritten note explaining where I found everything, so if you're ever in the NYC area you can check it out.
- Something(s) surprising.
It MIGHT also include a few of these, depending on whether I can find it, if I can afford it (my generosity will probably depend on your generosity, and the weather), whether you really want it, or whether it skeeves you out. If you fall in love with one of the following definitely let me know, I'll look extra hard, and if I'm running out of money I'll get it instead of something else.
- Something from Harry Potter.
- Something from Willy Wonka.
- Chocolate covered bug. (Please let me know if you DON'T want one of these contaminating your lovely package, because if I can find them again, and afford them, they're definitely going in.)
- Something Nintendo related (a tiny gamecube filled with gummies!)
- Any specific interest you might have. (Let me know, even if you don't think it exists in candy form. I have eaten Pikachu's head before, I swear it. No, I might not be able to find Scrubs candy, but I can find NBC candy! Same thing? I know, pathetic substitution for being able to bite JD's head off. Sorry.) Also just interests like chocolate golf balls, or candy planets.
- Something obscene. Not obscene in a caloric sense either. (The problem is, as fun as candy underwear is, and as fun as I'd have buying it, I think it's expensive. Because of this, and because I don't want anyone upset, I won't be including this unless asked, and then I might not put some other things in.)
I would be happy to custom the package around any preferences or allergies you might have. Want almost everything Japanese? It could be arranged. I think I could even do it with no chocolate, if you'd prefer. But if someone has a really bad allergy (think peanuts) this is probably not the right auction for you. Some of this candy will have it's nutrition facts written in a language I can't read, and although I can probably tell if something's chocolate or not, enough of this stuff is made at the same factory as peanut products that just taking my word on it is a bad idea. Actually, if anyone has a deadly allergy to chocolate that would be bad too, I just know a fair number of people who don't like it.

Delivery: This is the predicament. Most of the posts I've seen have recommended waiting until September to ship chocolate. I don't even want to buy chocolate right now, a few of the places I'm looking at don't have air conditioning, and no one wants deformed candy. But I would have to ship it between September 1st and September 18, because then I'm moving to Chicago. If that's not convenient I could easily ship it in December (think winter break) and throw in some holiday stuff for the trouble. Just let me know, we'll figure it out.
Minimum bid: $25.
Buy It Now: $50. (I know. But candy gets expensive, particularly the gimmicky stuff, and you'd get something extra special. Besides: Charity!)
