   I’ve started telling everyone about the benefits of eating dried grapes. It’s all about raisin awareness.

     @flutergork very much appreciated, thank you, but in view of the shipping costs, I think I'll pass this time.

     I will keep my eyes open for opportunities.

     @flutergork if only they knew the volume of raisins I consume, they'd fly the things to me! ;)

     @jpmens There's this place:
     https://www.ubuy.co.de/en/catalog/product/view/id/30618191/s/sun-maid-organic-california-sun-dried-raisins-2-pack-4-lbs

     It shows 1 item, with others underneath. Things are imported from the US.

     @jpmens I was looking around on their site. I never realized they had so many products. It seems the days of just raisins are gone.

     @flutergork and they're not super hot in helping me find a distributor in .DE: no response yet. :)

     @jpmens @politemenace Interesting. The Great Raisin War, I guess. I looked on their site, and there's this:
     No matter if you are in the USA or any other country, if you are interested in buying Sun-Maid products, please send us an email to sales@sunmaid.com.

     I guess there's always that way if people want them. That, or on Amazon, if you deal with them.

     @flutergork I have contacted them; let’s see what happens. Thanks for the tip!

     @flutergork @politemenace Sun-Maid are really the very best, and I've been quite sad for about 5 years as they're no longer obtainable in .DE

     I assume it was some retaliation of the US to DE (wasn't there a peanut butter thing?) but no store manager I've asked knows.

     @politemenace @jpmens Must have had the wrong kind. Sun-Maid are the best.

     @jpmens the worst part about this is that while reading the first half I thought to myself “oh dried grapes sound great! I love dried fruit but have never had those!” Then I imagined how delicious they would be. Then I got to the pun and a part of me died as I realized I had indeed had them many times before and they are in fact terrible.
