Ok, it is my turn now. And I am still rolling on the floor after I called.

Rep: &quot;Hallo?
Me: &quot;Ah...I am calling for candy.
Rep: &quot;Candy again? Hold on...&quot;
Rep: &quot;Hallo, How can I help you?&quot;
Me: &quot;Hm...I am calling for the candy on your website. Can I order on phone?
Rep: &quot;Thank you my friend but no more candy now. Everyone order candy this week and every candy now sold out, no more stock my friend.&quot;
Me: &quot;Are the prices correct?&quot;
Rep: &quot;Yes but no more&quot;
Me: &quot;What you mean no more?
Rep: &quot;No more candy my friend&quot;
Me: &quot;What about the sale prices? No more too?&quot;
Rep: &quot;...This...I dunno, maybe more or maybe no more&quot;
Me: &quot;Will you have more candy in stock?&quot;
Rep: &quot;Yes, the end of the June, maybe before July 4th. And definitely by Halloween. You know my friend in such occassions we can sell tons of candy! Hahahaa&quot;
Me: &quot;Oooook...Thanks&quot;

I'm surprised nobody's posted the funniest part of this deal:

At the top of the page:

&quot;The Online Pharmacy which cares about you and your Health!!!&quot;

The care about your health so much they want you to buy lots and lots of candy! This is hilarious!

hmmm, i took a different angle when i called. First i called and pretended i was a buyer looking to buy the candy that isnt listed at the crazy cheap price. Then i inquired about the Kit Kat chocolate bars. here goes to the best of my memory...


me: Hello, i would just like to know if you have the following items in stock.
lady: okay, yes. Do you have the item number?
me: 359935, thats for the kit kat chocolate bars.
lady: yes, ok hold on one second. (i hear lots of people yelling in the background and then she comes back).
lady: yes, we have it in stock, but the price is per bar. It is an error on the webpage.
me: ok.
lady: would you like to order?
me: umm, can u check to see if u have the following products in stock?
lady: what are they?
me: hold on, lemme get the item number.
lady: yesh, yesh, Item number please.
me: hold on, im lookin. four-zero-five...
lady: give me the item number please!
me: i am, 405258!
lady: yes, we have in stock. would you like to order?
me: no, i dont want to order. I already placed an order online. can you check the status of the order?
lady: give me order number
me: ########
lady: long period of silence...
me: hello?
lady: yes, one second.
me: ok, can u tell me the status of the order?
lady: i am sorry, but we do not have in stock.
me: but you just told me you had them in stock!
lady: sorry, we do not stock.
me: <getting angry> ok lady, you just told me you had it!
lady: I can cancel your order.

This is the funniest thread in, oh, 35 minutes. A great value in laughs.

For actual candy, I suggest http://www.sweetiescandy.com
sweetiescandy

They have excellent prices for boxes, much better than hometownfavorites and most other places I tried. In particular, they have Boyer Mallo Cups and many other regional items. Last time I looked in February, they unfortunately didn't have any multi-brand variety packs but I don't think you can beat the pricing by the box. Mallo Cups 24ct 2-cup $10 per box / 24ct 4-cup KingSize $16.50 per box.

In Feb their billing and customer service was a little rough, they are probably more presentable now.
