For example: Sorry, CW Network, we bought out all the Mars Bars in the country and had so switch to the US version: Snickers with Almonds. Because Veronica knows it's good to be perSNICKERity!<BR/><BR/>I also like the idea of sending Double Mint gum BUT only if we absolutely have to add a product, think this is the product to add. Because of the reference, and because Wrigley's had many product placements in the show and was a huge sponsor toward the end of this last season.<BR/><BR/>Those are my thoughts. Thank you SO much to The Indian Food Store. I've told my friends about you guys and how awesome you are, and we will definitely buy from you in the future, long after this campaign is over. Sachin and the rest have really gone above and beyond on this one, and I'm all smiles just thinking about it.

It's named after the Charleston, a dance popular when the candy bar was created in 1922. The frat guy's name isn't really Charleston, but that's one of those hilarious jokes frat boys are known to come up with. Frat boys, like cheerleaders, are clever like that. <BR/>3.04 "Charlie Don't Surf"<BR/><BR/>Doublemint <BR/>"Hottie Internet chicks found out about each other, talked it over, and they're into it!"<BR/>"Into it?"<BR/>"Doublemint, baby!" <BR/>Who knew chewing gum could be so sexy? Still on the shelves, Doublemint gum was introduced by Wrigley in 1914. The brand's decades-old advertising campaign, which employs sets of nubile twins and the phrase "double your pleasure, double your fun", continues to be misappopriated by perverse men (and boys such as Dick) everywhere. <BR/>3.16 "Un-American Graffiti"<BR/><BR/><BR/>Everlasting Gobstopper <BR/>"This one is the Everlasting Gobstopper of spending money." <BR/>Mmm...candy. Mmm...candy...that lasts forever? Roald Dahl, writer of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, is responsible for putting this concept into the heads of children (who are adults by now) everywhere. Sadly, as is true for most things in life, the real Everlasting Gobstopper is far less exciting. The jawbreaker-type candy lasts for a while, sure, but nowhere near as long as its name would suggest. Common sense tells us it's the fictional version that's being used as a comparison because the other would just mean money for an hour or so...and then nothing. More like the hooker of spending money. <BR/>3.19 "Weevils Wobble But They Don't Go Down"<BR/><BR/>Pixy Stix <BR/>"I may have to have a talk with Miss Pixy Stix." <BR/>This nostalgic candy from Wonka Products is sold as a pack of nine-inch paper tubes of multiple colors that are filled with dye and flavored sugar. They should be called "A Dentist's Dream." If Jackie was implying that Veronica's legs are skinny like Pixy Stix, she'd be quite wrong. Veronica's got some nice gams. If she was implying that Veronica is sweet and colorful on the inside, she'd be quite right. <BR/>2.04 "Green-Eyed Monster"<BR/><BR/>Just some ideas, I got the info from marsinvestigations.net...<BR/><BR/>I also think it is a good idea for us fans to buy marshmellows from the stores around us and ship them to the CW. <BR/>Finally, I want to thank Sachin and the Indian Store for all their help in doing this and organizing it, you guys are amazing!!!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6549721018486415580.post-71395869508479108542007-06-09T11:10:00.000-06:002007-06-09T11:10:00.000-06:00First I'd just like to reiterate that VM fans are ...First I'd just like to reiterate that VM fans are incredibly grateful that your are helping us out- seriously you guys are the nicest people ever. <BR/>As for what else to buy, Twinkies would be a good way to go since they do mention that in the show.

I know it's not as organized as a mass shipment, but it might even have a stronger impact to have seperate packages coming in as well. We could add other candy bars as a last result, I don't think we should add twinkies or anything. But, few cases of regular snickers with the almonds wouldn't derail it too much. And maybe someone could come up with something clever to put on them other than saying we bought out the Mars Bars, which we need to say, like something about "snickering" or something.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6549721018486415580.post-59193978784206943772007-06-09T08:49:00.000-06:002007-06-09T08:49:00.000-06:00Yep - I think a note with the Snickers to say that...Yep - I think a note with the Snickers to say that we bought up the entire supply of Mars bars would be a good idea. <BR/><BR/>I'm happy to buy "THE BITCH IS BACK" on itunes this Thursday 14th too, if everyone wants to do it to make a statement.Dave Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05689368138687675288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6549721018486415580.post-8913416445659815542007-06-09T08:48:00.000-06:002007-06-09T08:48:00.000-06:00I agree with the last poster's comment about the n...I agree with the last poster's comment about the note - that whole "buying out US Mars Bars" is HUGE!
