I wish Oblivia was british so it could just be british people who could enter

So sorry you’re american

 

[Yoshi155]

I really, REALLY wish I could participate but I’m sure my parents would be mad if I asked to entered my address. I would totally do it if I was in college, or if it was a few years from now.

The time has come to announce the winners of the konpeito giveaway! Based on the number of entrants and the kind comments along the way, I've decided to draw five winners instead of the original three. I didn't think you all would mind.

A big congratulations to:

@Hatori
@LambdaDelta
@Merielle
@amemome
@Sarah3

I'll be reaching out to all of your shortly to get your info. I'll immediately order the candy once we touch base, so I assume most of you will have it within the week. Feel free to post photos here in the thread once you receive your sweets, and I'd love to hear how you like it + your favorite flavor!

Thanks again for all the enthusiasm and I'll see you all on Saturday for our Round 2 reveal!

It would be fun to see a plot of all the guesses fitted to a distribution I feel like the variance on this jar is gonna be huge

I agree...huge. So huge, it could become more famous than certain hit songs from the 80s...

Congrats to the Winners!

 

[Rosch]

I wasn't aware there was a giveaway. Oh well. My luck with these things are very slim anyway.
CONGRATULATIONS to the winners!!!

 

[Zerous]

Congrats to the winners!!

I went with my strat of just looking at the bottle for a second and going with my first instinct. I'll be right eventually!

I used to send packages regularly to Canadians friends, and the postage went Wild! It's sad, I miss the back and forth of gift giving. We don't get much actual mail these days....it's mostly junk so it was nice to receive the occasional package. Before the pandemic and couple of rate hikes I was participating in an exchange among group members. It cost me $25 to mail a small package with a $10 item. Then USPS lost the package somewhere while it was sitting at the main hub for oversees. I put in a search request and their response was, uh sorry we don't find it. That was the last time I sent anything to Australia.

As a Canadian I’ve noticed the shipping costs for packages from the US have gone crazy as well. What I really don’t understand is how I can often buy stuff from Japan and Europe for usually cheaper shipping than the US. The US is literally a hop skip and a jump from me (less than a 20min drive from my house to the border literally) but shipping for a small item will be like $50. A similar item from Japan or Europe is more like $10 or sometimes even free.

There is a place I can ship to just on the other side of the border thankfully where I can go pickup if I have to. It’s so much cheaper to do that. It’s just a hassle if the crossing is busy.

Aw, my apologies! It was announced here in the thread as well as in a separate post in the main event thread, and we also posted a site banner with a link. To be honest I only expected something like 10 people to show any interest in something like this, so to see nearly 60 entrants was a bit of a shock!

I'm definitely considering a hosting a second giveaway closer to the conclusion of the event if all goes well, so you'd be able to enter this redux edition if interested. I can PM you a nudge if/when it goes live if you'd like.

I have a number in my mind but I haven't submitted it yet because somehow it feels too high and too low at the same time

Also, huge congrats to the winners of the competition!!
