View Full Version : Cherry Ripe
I didn't know where to post this, so I just punted and put it here.
I might be talked into parting with this magnificent, never used, well taken care of specimen. I am the second owner and it has never seen harsh weather, or elevated temperatures. Imported from Oz by a reputable, (sort of) Cherry Ripe runner. Should I try EBay? Maybe trade for a ???
Hurry before I lose all self control and consume this rare delicacy. :D
I understand that one of these has enough sugar to sustain 16 ant farms for 12000 years.

Ok, these Cherry Ripes are causing me drain bamage. I can order some from the internet, but it's a $20 minimum order, and then on top of that something like $24 shipping.
That's a lot of dough for a candybar sample, but then I got to thinking, hey, I could market them as the perfect Photographers Candy bar and sell the overstock after I get my requisite sample taste.
Then the Simpsons come on the air, and I forget about the idea until "Cherry Ripes" are again mentioned on the forum.
It has become a viscious cycle of temptation and commerce :rofl

I guess you guys didn't know that besides his regular day job flying around the country, and making people happy to pay lots of money, Andy has a second job. He is a undercover salesman for Canon. His number 1 job priority is to push L like it is crack. Thats how come he can keep getting all these new canon toys all the time and why he had to sell the ziess. :deal Hmm its a wonder I don't have any conspiracy stories about the goverment yet.

LOL Gus,
Nah, no importing. I just figured I'd pick some up to surprise Andy, on his next visit. With some Cherry Ripes in the pocket, he may be able to shoot past dinner. You know, like til 5:30 or 6:00 without complaining that it's past dinner time.....LOL We all know how tough it is to shoot on an empty stomach :lol3

Dee and others have spent their last dime on a case of Cherry Ripe's :D
All I can say is that I haven't had REAL Cadbury's dark chocolate in too

Ian, as an American in New Zealand we've got a trip to Dunedin and the Cadbury factory there planned for next weekend... Should be fun, we've been loving the chocolate, never go backpacking without at least a 500g bar in the pack!

Dark chocolate and a nice big red wine and you're good to go. Put the wine
in a Nalgene bottle--fits perfectly.

look at "contact us" for the address. I'll be visiting on my next trip to SJ.
I believe the Aussie gov't contracted with Cadbury to creat cherry ripes as a curative for the horrible aftereffects of eating Vegemite (blah)
