Who Wins Candy? Twitter Contest Results

I’m sure you’ve all been anxiously waiting, hoping to get your グミ sugar fix on sooner rather than later. It’s finally that time, and the five randomly picked Twitter users have been chosen, thanks to the random number generator over at RANDOM.ORG. Two people won from a Twitter follow over at Koichiben, and the other three won by hitting the follow button over at Tofugu’s Twitter page. If you didn’t win, not all hope is lost, though! More information will be after the jump.
If you’re a winner (one of those lucky people pictured above), contact me ASAP so we can choose you a flavor. More info about flavors further down.
So, what if you didn’t win? Well, here’s an option for you, if you want it:
I’ll send you some Gumi, but you’ll have to pay for it. The place I buy it at isn’t the cheapest place, and you might be able to find it for cheaper online, though from what I’ve seen so far other places charge tons for shipping. Still, someone else might have me beat on price; I don’t know, I haven’t really checked. I’ll throw in a handwritten note, though, so maybe that’s worth a little bit? Here are the flavors that are available. Winners, you should pay attention to this too, since you’ll have to choose as well.
- Grape
- Muscat (green grape)
- Kiwi
- Strawberry
- Pineapple
- Mango
- Litchi
- Peach
- Melon
- Orange
Now, I can’t guarentee that I’ll be able to get the one you want (since I get it at a grocery store), so please give me your top three choices, and I’ll do my best to get your #1 if at all possible. You’ve got a week to let me know, because that’s when I’m able to go get them, so if you’re interested in this offer, then do it before then. If you won this contest, please also do it by then. Trying to conserve car trips, ya know?
Here’s the price:
Domestic USA shipping: $10.00 for 1 Gumi + Shipment. $5.00 for each additional flavor.
International Outside USA shipping: $15 for 1 Gumi + Shipment. $6.00 for each additional flavor.
Not the best prices in the world, but I also don’t want to have to send out too many either. Still, I think it’s (somewhat) reasonable. You’ll also be helping me to pay my rent this month, though, profit margin is pretty tiny, I think, especially with gas considered into the equation :(
If you send money via paypal before August 21, I’ll send you tasty Gumi. My paypal address is koichiben@gmail.com.
Thank you so much for all that participated, I hope you enjoy Twitter!

[imagines Koichi-san with two grocery carts full of Gumi, wondering how he's going to fit them all in his car]

You know something funny.
As soon as I read this I went to the store with my host gramma.
And lo and behold, what did I see in the candy section?

I hope there is a candy related contest soon, because I'm hungry.
u should look for some japanese stores around ur area
and if ur area doesnt have any stores, then look some up when u go on a vacation to a big city like LA,NYC, Las Vegas , San Fransisco, San Diego
those r the only ones i know since i live in california and those cities r close, except san fransisco
i got mine in santa ana
and they cost me 2.49 for the bag
Yeah I kinda live in the uk …
And the place I used to get pocky from closed down D:
I'll be in London soon so I'll keep my eyes out.
