I got AES mints last year, in a little tube-shaped tin box.....Wonder what the chocolate threshold is. Actually...I don't want to know.

I am beginning to feel a bit left out. Last year I bought several hundred dollars worth of tubes and transformers, and....no mints. This year, I bought less, but I bought 400 tube sockets and 100 coupling caps from their distribution house, CE distribution, no chocolate.

It is possible that someone might have thought about the 5 to 8 day shipping time and the typical temperature here and realized that the candy would not have survived the trip. NAH these are the same people that put a power transformer and a bunch of tubes in the same box seperated with a little brown paper. Some tubes didn't survive the trip either.

Got the Mints in the tins last year, the year before I got the tube chocolate Lolly Pops,
This year got the Tube Chocolates, but sadly, the white ones were all melted!
We never eat them though, yuck

Got the Tube Key Chain, I actually use that for our new PT Cruiser keys.

Yeah, sweet idea (literally), but we all know that chocolates will melt if they are placed too close to tubes. Just look at the well known problem beeswax capacitors have in tube amps. And beeswax has a higher melting point than chocolate, too.

Knowing this, the idea of combining tubes and chocolate into a single package is, well, just irresponsible. And delicious.

Wish I had some of these to give away and eat. They are cool.

Best,
KT
