American & British candy and more: now there is a NEW source

[sinikala]

Did Behnford's spill your pint? You seem to take every opportunity to rubbish the service they provide.

Nah, just disappointed. They had a nice big store with a wide variety of actually good, then it turned into a tiny junk food store with expensive prices.

And do you think they downsized (a) because not enough people bought the wide variety of good stuff at low prices to turn a profit or (b) just to piss you off?

Behnfords = better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

Mr. Nibble has nothing but candy. Behnfords at least tries to have some savory items.

I was really pleased as my skittles + Reese's Pieces + Cake was a LOT cheaper then Behnford's had been.

Basically , if your walking along Mannerheimintie towards the Art Museum (say from Stockmann's, on the Stockmann's side of the road). A bit before you hit Simonkatu (I think this is the road, its the big road that goes past the Railway Station as well as Kamppi etc.) there is an entrance to your right that leads to a an area with a bunch of shops on either side. You should see specifically Pizza Hut in front of you. Now this area goes all the way through to Rautatientori. There is a point at which there is a stairway that leads to the Metro station. Mr. Nibbles is straight ahead there somewhere (I think right away on your left) if you walk PAST the metro station entrance.

Just how many bags of "skittles" does it take to make a success of a business with a rental location like that?!

Thats the main thoroughfare of the city

Though that description made me still wonder where it was...

Now that is exactly clear.

Sounds like it's in the old Oriental kiosk that was between the two under
the stairs going up to the car park.

Yes, it's under the stairs.

You know, it never ceases to amaze me how much people on this forums like to piss in other people's cherrios. Good reminder not to come back here for a long time again.

Find some other forums to piss on, its annoying.

Apparently as far as I can tell from this - every american is fat, every store is stupid, every poster is an idiot. Sweet.

Maybe this has been covered here, but I was most amazed to see quite a sizable selection of American candy and cookies in the K-Pikkolo at Pasila station, what can be the deal?

And also at the K market in the Kamppi mall.

The IsoOmena Citymarket had also the same stuff. But where the K-market in Kamppi had a special shelf, Citymarket had the stuff among the "ordinary" stuff. Run into Canada Dry ginger ale, root beer, Keebler Graham Cinnamon Crisps, Duncan Hines Creamy Home Style Chocolate Frosting, creamy peanut butter, chocolate syrup, and mapel syrup. Sorry that I don't remember all the brands. I totally forgot to check the candy section, darn it!

So, I'm pretty sure these things are available to all K stores, just ask if your local one doesn't have it yet. The importer for all this is His and Hers from Vantaa, so one could always try lobbying them for your favorite stuff (or the K-chain).

Now, I and the chocolate frosting have a date with a spoon...

Ah, I knew there was a reason we are good friends - I also have some chocolate frosting awaiting a date with the spoon and me!

They never did any advertising. And they're just too expensive.

[Xochiquetzal]

Mr Nibble has gone to online purchases only and closed the store in the City Center. But I can't seem to find the website. Anyone know what it is?

[karen]

I saw that, too, but haven't been able to find the site. I'm pretty sure it was misternibble.com or .fi, but neither is correct. I've tried other variations, but no luck.

[Sara]

I wonder if its this http://www.misternibble.com/ it says coming soon on the site!

[Xochiquetzal]

Hopefully they get something up Thanks Sara
