Found Brandy Beans on sale--250 grams for the unbelievably low price of $1.47. For the folks who are still on the stone age system of measurement, that's a little more than the weight of a rock weighing half a pound.
What a deal!

And for those unfamiliar with Canadian dollars, they're worth a little more than a U.S. dollar...but then again, what isn't?

Having (briefly) looked for them, I can say I'm jealous. Though having a rock made of brandy seems like it'd be hard to eat.

If they're that cheap they couldn't have been much good to start with, Metricboy. |

Either you lack attention span or memory...or both. It's already been stated that the maker is a respected German company with world-wide sales, comaboy. I just had a look at the box and I see it has 5% alcohol and is illegal for sale to minors.
Of course, they would be much more expensive in the States where the currency is near worthless. |

I checked into it, iceback. Your 'respected German company' has a very tainted history.
This WWII advertising shows a happy Hermann Goering advertising the product. And why wouldn't he be happy, with the kickbacks he was getting for supplying slave labour to the company. Goering committed suicide just before he could be hanged at Nuremberg, eating a cyanide-laced Brandy Bean he had shoved up his asshole - just desserts if you ask me. My parents, both deceased veterans, fought against the Third Reich so keep your Nazi candy to yourself.

Nice try, Show-me-boy. You obviously doctored that image. There's some other German soldier on my box.

Hey, Matt! What do you think of this 'Hack' fellow? He is such a good man that not only can he write - well just a little - but he has, more
significantly, a humane heart and maybe it would make him feel good to come in and dance a bit, too, and how about it for Asplagis, folks? I mean, if we must
... and we must ... I insist.

Sound geezers both. I remember them from my youth. Although that Asplagis fellow... I don't know...

And Decagon.
And everybody but Laird Shaw unless he wants to appear in the new Laird Shaw Lying In Hell Trying To Figure Out If His Nose Is Below Or Above That Awful Awful Smell forum, here at Olio. |

And I keep leaving messages for Flora Spaghetti she never gets ... perhaps there's a tv lottery show in Singapore, National Television Caning Of
Last Unwanted Foreign Undesirable Hey That's YOU! played daily this November that's got her distracted. Yes, kids, if you've got too many
servants from inferior foreign lands, just find unique and interesting ways to handle problem write off taxes cane bastards also whack whack whackety whack.
Yes, kids, immigration is such a problem, and when big fences and caning don't work, then find new markets and new tax write offs and let the Republicans
in the US fight the wars and plan the defenses of The Next Big Player In The Middle East So We Can Get That Oil, Too!
Somehow this all has something to do with 'cake' and 'useless donuts' ... and genocide and torture.
