I truly live in a golden age of consumerism. I can get a whim for something and can have it delivered to my door in under a week. The only thing that stops any of what I like to call my 'soul purchases' are ridiculously high shipping prices.
I first check out the auction sides for these candy products and sometimes I get lucky.
I was having a craving for those great old bubble gum cigars of my youth. It has to be only one brand - EL BUBBLE - the finest bubble gum cigar of them all - except for maybe Black Bart, the licorice bubble gum cigar.
Two boxes of bubble gum cigars from AUSTRALIA only cost 14 dollars to ship BOTH of them. I couldn't be happier to my gum cigars now. Maybe me look like a big shot.
One Super Powers lunch box costs 28 dollars to ship from Atlanta Georgia. Someone please explain this to me.

Love those cigars. I was a big fan of candy cigarettes too. Tasted like sweet chalk. Good times. And chocolate cigarettes were the best.
MISS those cigars.. I was WONDERING where they all went.
As for the shipping from Georgia..? Hate those sellers.
I really do. On my auctions, if it's a comic or something, I'll provide free shipping (to continental US) just to sell stuff faster. As for Canada, I just get actual quotes from the postal office and let the buyer know.
