      1. You can get them in pretty much any supermarket here on France. Very popular. And these are people that have no shortage of tasty things, so you know it's got to be good to compete with all of the other sweets available.

        1. Yeah, same here in America, and I don't even live in a very diverse part of it. It's not quite mainstream but has done enough to be in many supermarkets.

          1. I'm in a pretty isolated part of California, haven't seen it advertised. I get my TV from Reno NV though, so that could have something to do with it.

          2. I checked their international website, looks like it is available at the supermarket I frequent at my Nevada joint.

          1. A bit like them, in that it's crispy, biscuity, and chocolatey. It's also a bit like a chocolate-covered pretzel, but minus the salt.

      2. A friend of mine who used to work in a Japanese grocery store out here once gave me a bag of a similar japanese stick snack, except this was coated with (allegedly) tomato tasting flavor (like a sour cream and onion potato chip). It didn't quite strike me as tasting like tomato, but those things were addictive. Damn I want some more of them now 😉

      1. We all have been joking about the Dark One winning this election, I don't think any of us realized it might come to pass.

        1. Do you have, or have you had, close and/or continuing contact with a foreign inter-dimensional cosmic entity within the last seven (7) years with whom you, or your spouse, or cohabitant are bound by affection, influence, common interests, and/or obligation? Include associates as well as relatives, not previously listed in Section 18.

    1. Lots of people are taking some time off of media things. Completely understandable why they might want to tune it all out for a bit. It took me a few days to listen to the evening news, and that's here where we are a little bit more removed from "all Trump, all the time." And I still put it on mute tonight when the went to the DC segment.
