I'll swap you...

AFTR has a thread with a tootsie roll on it...



I've heard of Tootsie rolls loads of times but never seen one, never tasted one.

My daughter would also like to try American cereals such as Lucky Charms, Froot Loops, Apple Jacks and Cap'n Crunch. You can buy them over here on Ebay but they cost about £8 ($12) per box!

Would anyone like to swap me some American cereal for some English sweets/candy? Or anything else you fancy?

If you go to the currency exchange site below you can see what value an english pound is against an american dollar, so today £5.00 GBP = $7.38902 USD or £10.00 GBP = $14.7780 USD. Working with that I could send you say £5 or £10 worth of goodies in exchange for $7 or $14 worth of goodies. Postage should be about the same unless you ask for something extremely heavy or something breakable (like Royal Albert china say).

You could either make a selection or tell me what sort of things you like (eg chocolate bars) and I'll send you a whole selection, one of each kind. Here's some ideas of the kinds of things you could choose but don't forget we also have tons of different kinds of chocolate also in white, milk or dark chocolate and Belgian chocolates. I could send chocolate lollies for your kids or Thorntons toffees. Google english sweets/chocolate and see if there is anything you fancy that you would like to do a swap with me. :)

Its a great idea. We did a similar thing a few years ago. Floppie sent me some Hershie bars and tootsie rolls and I sent her youngun a selection of sweets and chocolate.

FAB! Tell me how much the cereal costs and I'll send you the same value in sweets. :) Do you fancy a selection of chocolates or would you like other sweets mixed in? Tell me how many kids you have & I'll send them each a Thornton's chocolate lolly on a stick. :)

No harm intended, Nomie. ;)

This thread is about trading something sweet for something else sweet.
