Buying USA sweets in Europe

Internet is just one huge amazing opportunity that we’re not even beginning to utilize.

The story goes like this: while chewing on Big Red gum, I’ve started wondering how can I ensure my future supplies of it. A quick search later reveals a magic resource – AmericanSweets.co.uk a service that does exactly that, ensures that EU people have access to USA candy. A very targeted and niche shop that can now sere expats and fans across whole Europe. On top of that, they even ship back to USA (?!?).

So that’s essentially the opportunity and potential of the Internet – infinite amount of highly targeted niches where you’re not bound by local geographical restrictions anymore.

Now if only I knew about some cool american candy that’s unavailable in local stores and actually worth ordering abroad …

No wait, I take that back. There’s Bawls. Do they ship those abroad yet? Last I checked they were almost borderline illegal around here.

No no, I’ll never stop (ab)using caffeine. I just toned it down a few notches.
