On yeah, I have to say this: Opened the box and holy smokes.... And I mean smokes!
Um...why? After I got Bronx's box, I was ready to concede to his greatness. I've watched the pictures...the only surprise that was in it was a ton of candy that is probably gone now. Guess I am glad you are happy.

Get rid of the box. That'll probably be the only issue. If the bricks smell like smoke, put some dish soap in some water and soak them for 1 or 2 days. Then rinse and dry them. That should take care of the smell if it reached them.

That is incredibly strange, and disappointing, to hear that inside the box somehow smells like smoke.

I am here alone at my home, and I do not smoke, nor have I ever. This is also the second box you've received from me, and this wasn't an issue with the first box. Curious and curiouser.

Perhaps the box itself needs to be changed. Or the delivery person is a heavy smoker. I really can't explain the claim. Hopefully, the stench doesn't linger.

Yeah, I know - which is why it's perplexing.

You sir give good gives! (drooling over the goat!)

I concede...Bronx's box is arriving way before mine will.

Sorry for delaying it but I got it in a bad week for me.... Week earlier would have been perfect. To my tiny defense though I had to air out the smoke smell from it which was a few days in itself. Baking soda containers work magic!
