Daughter L has a friend studying at school in Europe. The friend brought her these fine chocolates from Austria. The funny thing is that L was with her friends up in Northern Ontario at around this same time. They unearthed this old 1995 coupon from a local chocolaterie. It was worth $10 and had no expiry date. The store said they would honour it. They found the same Austrian chocolates in the store and got those ones! What a small world and who needs to travel anymore?

Chocolates are good for your health, so happy eating.
I am sorry to read that your mother was hospitalized. I hope all goes well with her.
Very cool!
This was really fun to read. I was surprised to see the chocolate box with German language on it. Great that they have it in Canada as well.
Small World, great story, wonderful chocolates.
Cool Christine. These chocolates are amazing!!
Cool!
The first time I went to Paris, I brought back 4 3-packs of this soap I used there because I loved the smell and it would remind me of Paris, then one day here in the state of Oregon, I walked by a store that sold foreign products, and I saw the same brand of soap! It was 3x more expensive than the soap in Paris, but I was still glad I saw it. I never brought it from here though; the next time I went to Paris, I brought a tote bag and filled it with the soap and brought it back. I have enough of the soap to last maybe 3 years
What a fun story indeed! The chocolates look like they're yummy...
Wow good for them for honoring it
very interesting coincidence dear .
my son recently went Dubai on official trip for five days and on returning brought quite expensive chocolates for us . we were not aware that they are available in the big cities of our country too until we saw them in mall during our visit to Karachi .
i asked him why he brought from far if they are available here , he replied that they are copy and more expensive than original
Happy new year to you and family dear Christine ,
Good for them for honouring it.
All the best Jan
Wow. No expiry date and they took it. Great news and a fun dessert.
