snack swap – post 311
Yesterday I talked about favorite snacks. Today I let you in on what I love next to my favorite snacks. I love trying snacks that I can’t get where I live and I don’t mean just here in Canada, snack stuff can be different from one end of a country to the other. I want to try the snacks that people buy in the southern states, over seas and way down under. I think snacks say neat things about a culture. What they like to grab on the go, the types of flavors they prefer and what they think is a fun food to eat. To me, snack foods from around the world are super fascinating.
What I’d really love to do is to set up a snack swap program. A site where you go and trade snacks from your region with other people. It would have to be non perishable foods like chips, crackers, chocolate bars, candies and such. Maybe canned drinks… I’d have to look in to that. Maybe not even limit it to snacks but just fun food products from your neck of the woods. Yeah, this idea would be awesome!
I’d be willing to swap a Big Turk chocolate bar, a small bag of ketchup flavored chips and some Swedish Berries. Any takers? Your swap would have to include snacks I can’t get at a store near me.

I hear ya mon. Im a Dane, and i thought that nothing bested the danish brew when comming to beers… boy was i wrong. went to Australia one year to visit some relatives, and was offerd a one litre can of Fosters beer… DAMN!… never tasted anything so soothing… im not a drunk, but once a week or so, i go to my local Oriental shop to buy myself a sixpack of theese. Just got to have em, eventhough theyr’ expensive (like 15-20 dollars or so, pr sixpack). So i can relate to the cross country snack swap… Go for it, make the site, and ill donate a bag of Kims Potatochips and a sixpacks of Danish brews ^^ guaranteed.

[…] The results where lack luster. I proclaimed that all American candy sucks, put forth the idea of snack swap (a concept I dreamed up a year or so ago) and the challenge to prove me […]
