Damnit! Lost my post!

Anyways what I typed before...Is if anyone is near any of these destinations and can snag me a bar (they are free)...I'd so appreciate it...and be in debt to you for a very long time. I can even pay you for the bar plus shipping. I know they just added San Fran but these might be hard to get, hence my plea!

Anyhoo, if someone can, cool. I thought it'd be cool to post this info in case anyone was interested. I'll look like a big fool if someone decides to sell these in the stores.

I've never heard of it. I did try this new Ghiridelli dark chocolate Espresso bar along with Dove's organic milk chocolate the other night. That dark chocolate bar is so rich that I still have some left over. I'll be buying more organic chocolate in the future. I'm still debating if it's better than non-organic though.

It's not being sold in stores, but given away.

Isn't it just like any other dark chocolate ?

I have no idea. I just want one really bad.

superspaceboy said:

How did you hear about it?

superspaceboy said:

ok

AnckSuNamun said:

Online.

Yeah, let me stop what I'm doing, take a half hour subway ride just to stand in line with a bunch of other fiends to get a free 50 cent candybar.

Makes a WHOOOLE lotta sense.

This is right up there with EXXON's "Drive across country to win a free gallon of gas!" contest.

2the9s said:

Well, I didn't ask anyone to drive 50 miles out of thier way for a candy bar. But if you could, that'd be cool!

It's not a 50 cent candy bar either. It's free. and in a month we'll see how much it's worth.

Thing is it's only worth something to those that know what it is.

superspaceboy said:

You've piqued my interest.

lol - this is great!

SSB, thanks for tipping me off. I'd seen the website for these, but the giveaway is new. Unfortunately they're not being given away in Boston, and I can't make it up to Portland next Tuesday.

And yeah, this will be worth a whole lot more in a month or two - the question is, when you get one, will you open it to see what's inside?

Apparently, it's for the game, which I have LONG "lost" interest in. People are thinking that there will be clues in them or something. I'm not one for product placement nor products tied to shows and movies, but THIS, this is cool. Something so small, odd, innocuous, yet it embodies the show.

superspaceboy said:

Yeah, I haven't paid attention to the game since June sometime - too much technical mumbo-jumbo to know, for very little information. I agree, though - this is really cool!

booyah said:

Yeah way too complicated for me. I do have to say it is very very indepth and thought out..with ads appearing all over the place and people coming on talk shows and comic con to add a "real life" scenario to the whole thing...like it's really going on. I sorta feel bad for those that will get into this like 10 years from now and will have missed out on all of the things that are for the fans.

Never heard of it

nurse said:

Well now you have.

Never heard of it.

superspaceboy said:

So you really think it's gonna be the next big thing?

what about Australia

AnckSuNamun said:

No. I can't really see it being sold. It's a candy bar from a TV show "LOST". I don't really know what to really say about it, except that it is a very cool tie in promotion for the show. Though I do think they should let fans to be able to buy it, instead of giving them away in certain places and certain times. It's going to be a very rare LOST collectors item if they only do it just this one time. It's the number 2 show in the world right now.

ZombieKitten said:

just UK and USA right now. You would think Austrailia of ALLLLL places should have several distribution points.

you may want to keep checking apollocandy.com. San Fran was just added. as well as the UK.

superspaceboy said:

aaaah! so you aren't even gonna eat it or anything!

superspaceboy said:

Lost became "Lost interest" here

ZombieKitten said:

no. how could I eat something that rare? Maybe save it for the series finale. That would be appropriate. I wasn't even going to try to sell it either.

superspaceboy said:

are you already into the next series?

we seriously thought here that last episode was the last episode EVER and got SO mad it wasn't!

the next season won't even start here until next year probably
