*GENERAL EXCHANGE GUIDELINES*
1. You must have been active on the forums for at least 6 months OR have 1,000 posts. If you've been here a while you're more likely to send out your package.
2. Don't flake on your partner, just like you wouldn't want your partner to flake on you. If you're unsure whether you'll have time/money to get a package together, don't sign up.
3. Bring it! Don't send out something crappy!
4. Homemade and/or store bought goodies are welcome.
5. This is an ALL VEGAN exchange.

This is why I opted to bake only one item in my package. I remember the last gift exchange we did around the holidays and things took FOREVER! I talked to my mail guy and he said things were slooooow. :(

w00t! Shell - I would like to know the story behind "lime sauce is not a candy".
Nice package, llg! <- he he
huh. maybe it's because there's those lime/chili/salt-covered candies... so they had to tell you the sauce is not for candies. or something.
It probably says it's not candy because people used to eat seasonings and things as candy (well here at least). We would eat chilli seasoning and they sold it with the candy section because kids ate it so much.
I ate lots of lime chili salt as candy for a year. Hah.
ewwww I remember when kids could eat chili seasoning like it was cool at the day camp place I went when I was little. A boy poured some in my palm and told me it was cinnamony tasting... little shit. It was really salty and nasty. Maybe that's why I still don't like chili powder (like the premade blends that come in spice jars).
Yeah, there were those Lucus (yes?) things they sold our of ice cream trucks here that were basically chili, lime, and salt. It was like a rite of passage to consume it. I did, and it was disgusting.
Yeah lucas was one of the main ones.
I live in an insane Hispanic area where kids had all sorts of weird stuff though.
I ate so much lucas in 6th and 7th grade though. Haha.
Yeah, everything covered in that stuff, too. It's like, WHY CAN'T I JUST GET A WATERMELON LOLLIPOP. WHY MUST IT BE COVERED IN CHILI.
