I have a snickers problem that needs to be a knoppers problem. Please send the goods to Canada.

Website idea. Join together people who, for a small fee, are willing to ship parcels full of treats to the other side of the globe with people craving such treats. Example: I know guys in Japan who would kill for a box of Paluszki made by Lajkonik. Here we have Canadians craving Knoppers. Etc.

We don't have much in the way of chocolate selection that isn't Mars or Kraft. It sucks. Butterfinger are Ferrero, i think? So Italian owned. Peanut, but not the peanut you're looking for. Who owns Wonderbar? That's closer to a Snickers, I guess.

Ferrero (who own Nutella/Kinder/Tictac) isn't that amazing.

Several health & safety issues in the past and afaik their stance on child slavery for chocolate isn't as different to Nestle.
