				|  My hardware wants sweets |   |  
				| I cannot take it any longer. In 2004 they offered "Fisherman's Friend Spicy Mandarin" for a limited time here in Germany. I was probably the only German who liked them.
 Now, after 8 years without this deliciousness, I learned that
 
 a) they are available in Ireland - only that I cannot find an online shop that sells them (actually I wasn't able to find any Irish online shops at all).
 
 and that
 
 b) in Britain there is a way to online order flavours that are only available in other countries. A function, alas, that I am unable to detect.
   
 Can anyone help? I must be too stupid to use Google properly.

				| Yeah thanks, I found that,too - but it is shipped from Thailand... I don't know... If it is sold in Ireland, why can't I find it anywhere nearer? AHHHRGHHHH!   
 British specialties is good, although they don't have it on the British homepage. Anyways: thanks for looking for it, Blue.

				| Hmmm, good find! It's expensive, but I expected that. I think I'll place an order. Thanks, Blue.

You probably never could see it, because they have a specific product range for every country. There are 13 flavours altogether, I think. Normally they offer four to six in the European countries (6 in Finland). Only in Ireland they offer all 13. Silly.

Hmm, they say they shipped it today. I take a few pictures - don't have time for a decent video.

Isn't a British shop, btw. I Just learned that the goods come from "overseas" and they have no connection to the UK - despite that co.uk domain. Strange. Well let's see if/when they deliver.

				| Buy regular ones and stuff them inside a mandarin. Or speak mandarin while eating them.

Stuffing it inside a mandarin is not the same as the real thing... you should know what I'm talking about.
