A drooling Kzinti is not a pretty sight...

So I was minding my own business, browsing the Web, and I went to Slickdeals.net to see what discounted happiness laid in wait.
And WHAM!! They hit me with THIS!!!
5 pound bags of assorted Haribo gummy products on sale. And they have EVERYTHING!!
Bears, cola bottles, frogs, pasta, clown fish, cherries, rattlesnakes, giant cola bottles (4-inch long!),
and even the all-time classic licorice wheels I remember from my childhood!

I'm having a gummigasm looking at all this stuff.

I'm considering ordering a 5 pound bag of giant cola bottles.
Hey, I can have it shipped to my work.
Hee-hee-hee (rubs his paws in glee).
Wait! Free shipping if I have buy two bags!
Oooooh ho ho ho ho...
I'm doing it!
One bag of giant cola bottles, and one bag of licorice wheels.
YES!!!!



Urrrrrrrrr...
"delivery estimate: July 18, 2006 - July 19, 2006"!?!?!?!?!?!?
WTF????
This does not compute.
I hope it's some sort of mistake and it's really May 18th or 19th.
I mean, really.
2 months and 1.5 weeks?
Grrrrr...

Could be surface shipping involved - that'll take about that length of time for a transatlantic shipment, yet remain much more affordable than an airmail package. One would think they'd ship in bulk, but perhaps they run everything from mainland Europe. Then again, the fine print says they're in California.. ah, maybe there are just stray pockets of excess time floating around..

(Hm. No sales tax on candy in California? How odd)
