Mysterious box, strange Blair witch symbols on the side...
Was a little hesitant to open it... tropicana box??
No juice, no witch...
Got candy and a Merry Christmas note! And gifts! Merry Christmas in July?...
Secret Santa??...
This is awesome! Made my day!! Thanks @kbennett103!

US customs is getting really slow.

Probably more Canada Post going on strike all the time.
dragosteakae

RolloRu5h

haswar

theaxeman
Are Canadian Smarties different from American Smarties? In Canada are they not just flavored chalk?
silentpat
Yes, they're like milkier plain M&M's
MrRandom314159
Slightly unrelated, but does anyone remember how Cartoon Network did Christmas in July?
FilipWan
That's awesome! Me and my gf never got our secret santa gift, some people just suck..
GuW69
I need myself a secret Canadian Santa, that stuff looks yummy
RatoMolhado
So... there is still hope for my Secret Santa?
paulisripo
That is awesome and I'm jealous! Would someone want to make a candy swap? I never received my Santa and would love to candy swap!
CCCCramBone
Christmas in July is kind of a thing in the U.S.

I hate this shit but I'm now in a place in life where men don't try to make me prove how hardcore I am. Loved games all my life, it's fun,
prettykitties
I like having fun. Will always want fun. Also how hard was it to google "gifts for gamers". Foreign candy is cool though, might join next
prettykitties
Secret Santa for surprise foreign treats!
ComputerAntiPope
Right? I had the same reaction.
shadowex3
despite the mainstream appropriation of superficial aspects of nerd culture by and large it's still a fucking sausagefest.

shadowex3
sausagefest.
shadowex3
Which basically repeats what I said: Candy Crush and the Sims? Plenty of casual non-gamer splay them. CS:GO, Starcraft, Smash/Streetfighter?
prettykitties
Still games. Play enough and you're a gamer. Also a low barrier to entry, if they build confidence with games, they might try new things.
shadowex3
No. Sorry but no. There's simply no comparing a non-gamer who might enjoy the sims in some spare time to someone who's an actual gamer.
shadowex3
It's like trying to compare professional athletes with people who might play ultimate frisbee once or twice during the summer.
prettykitties
I only have anecdotal evidence but I've met girls who started with simple games and worked their way thru with new genres. I continue to
shadowex3
It's also demeaning to the women out there who actually ARE gamers, and who are just as ostracized and bullied for it as their fellows.
NeighborlyAdvice
Women want equality, but then use being a girl as an excuse for stuff. Grrr

Wait, America doesn't have hickory sticks?

Meanwhile, some of us still got scammed :D

http://www.candywarehouse.com/assets/item/regular/smarties-candy-rolls-127299-im2.jpg USA smarties. Are they chocolate elsewhere?
LaBotte
Here in Canada those are called "Rockets".
ChristopherKostyshyn
That's why she sent em. In other countries, they are candy coated chocolate. I prefer them to M&Ms... The chocolate is milkier.
anitabieror6
hmm have you ever had sixlets? I wonder how they compare. Gonna hafta get all 3 together and try them out
ChristopherKostyshyn
I've actually never heard of them (just had to google them :P)
anitabieror6
so In the US we make chocolate chip and M&M cookies. (I do anyway Im addicted) Do Canadians make chocolate chip and smartie cookies??
ChristopherKostyshyn
Actually, that's all that I use M&Ms for (baking into cookies, especially oatmeal). Smarties are too sweet for cookies, in my opinion :P
duhfux
It's not what you asked but I'm in England I've had smarties cookies before
suckerformemes
I did not received mine yet... still have some hope left
boejurt
This gives me hope that my secret santa gift is still on its way. ????
verygoodartsi
so uh i want some dank snacks too and will send someone else dank snacks in exchange how does this program work?
somethingsomethingwittyhere
Pretty much. There are people on youtube doing this.
UnderstandsAnimeBetterThanLife
Nice! What are Hickory Sticks?
furrynoodles
They taste like barbecue potato chips
OrangeCatFluffyCatBrownCatChubbyCat
They are like chips (or crisps if you're British) but they are cut into little sticks, and they taste like hickory smoked meat.
5NoteHalf
They're sort of like Andy Capp's, if I remember right.
Hardalor
Heaven and an orgasm in food form.
candiduscorvus
Well that was nice of her. When did that get mailed though?
osamabinloggin
Knowing Canada Post? October last year.
OrangeCatFluffyCatBrownCatChubbyCat
As a Canadian, I can attest to this.
megagreg
Canada Post gets super fast right before Christmas. About a month prior, the backlog shrinks to about half a day.
drummergirl83
Lol. My friend sent me chocolate from New Zealand. Shipped it mid may. I just got it a few days ago. Damn you Canada post, why so slow??
furrynoodles
About a week ago
TheTimeless
I used to work a lot with customs, they can forget or lose pkgs and take months to find, and to cover up their mistake, they'd relabel them
bel6
Nice. Playing the "Christmas in July" card. Been there.
InkedGuru
Still waiting for my gift from the gift exchange

the blair witch symbols look like an up arrow to show how to handle the box
furrynoodles
Anybody ever look at the Blair Witch sign
daintyprotagonist
Yeah, thought that was obvious @OP
LateNightBunnyParty
Exactly my thoughts, haha.
doedeer
Sure he was joking
furrynoodles
Yes @doedeer
Lierofox
Before anyone shits on @kbennett103 (because it happened to me) they might have been a backup, or backup-backup-BACKUP secret santa.
tormundfuckinggiantsbane
Happened to me too, I had Christmas in April
jbaalson
Well sheet, I've been waiting on a secret santa since Christmas. Funny how I was able to deliver...
FreudIndianNipSlip
What y'all talking about. It's not late, it's early!
biggreencow
She has nothing to upvote on her page.
aykyle
Was mailed a week ago. Would mean the Secret Santa coordinator is very slow moving
FuckMeFuckYou
How do you know it was mailed a week ago? OP never mentioned any date...
allergicavocado
My secret Santa never show up :(
INeverThoughtIdMakeThisAccount
Mine never did either. I spent a long time choosing things for my secret santa based on their limited interests, and I never even found out
INeverThoughtIdMakeThisAccount
if they got it or not.
tivvybrixx
Same and i put a lot of work into mine then months later i got a bag of walnuts in the mail...
sentmepicturesofhomemadebeefjerky
they take time to open man unless you have a machine
tivvybrixx
Yea no shit almost to even worth the effort
BreezeyBop
Same here,
dinosaurspine
Samesies. Even did backup secret santa. Didnt get matched for that either. At least i got to make 2 ppl happy though.
SombreroWieldingLawmaker
You're a good person ^^

Or it could have been held up in customs for 8 months
TacoPrime
Can trust packages from Canada they are trying to smuggle in dangerous meeses
Isweartogodthecatmademedoit
I think the word you;re looking for is *miise...
johnjacobjingleheimer
Well that package does look rather suspicious lol
craz3d
I believe it is moosen
imgursayswhat
Never trust no boxen of moosen.
xHeroOfTimexx
I've seen the piles of meese eggs or should I say "eh-ggs" sitting in customs. SAD!
TacoPrime
Never was to be stuck in a room with a moose. It will do things to your walnuts

Mistakes can happen *COUGHJUSTINBIEBERCOUGH*
FuckMeFuckYou
It must have been because nowhere in the letter does it state that it's late or why. Plus, it just says, "Have a Merry Christmas," 1/2
FuckMeFuckYou
& I doubt she would've said that if she just mailed it recently. 2/2
