Wow, how purple your prose is! These pastilles are organic, etc… and “tins” are much more green than plastic. Before any garbage goes into landfill, it goes through a collection magnet and steel packaging is gathered for reprocessing for new cans, steel parts, whatever… endlessly. Glass is similarly an endless supply stream. Plastics, on the other hand, can be recycled once and reused a second, expensive time, and that’s it, for now, which basically explains the huge gyres clogging the ocean lanes and Berkeley’s recycling rules. The only problems with steel and glass packaging is weight and fragility. Otherwise, they’re very green.

Eric-

you CAN get these in the states. Cost Plus carries all three flavors. I'm not sure if they sell them online or not, but you can get them at their retail stores. Good luck.

Where can you buy these in the states? Is there a distributor? Can I go to a store and just pick up a tin? After Trader Joe’s stopped selling them, angry crowds emerged.

Fair enough, Candygirl.

Here's what I'd say:

mock up a classic, cool looking bag. Make it unique somehow through materials (heavy foil? Dual layered)? Have the artwork be vintage, etc. Then put 2-4 times the amount that you put in the tins into the bag, and charge the same or even a tad more. Then I'm in all day.

Ok- here is my thing. I hear you with paying for crazy packaging, but! Presentation is everything! So what kind of sugguestions can we offer to this fine company with the tastey grapefruit chewies?

Bwah, ha, ha!! How damn true!! I bought a tin in Cracker Barrel the other day – it was a cool Hershey tin with about 5 miniature bars in it for about $5.00. I’m still deluding myself I will use it for something. I am a suckah!!!! And it’s not even pink.
