    No, real candy. IMG_1997.JPG Stopped at the OPE dealer to order a bar. A bowl of hard candies with Stihl wrappers on the counter. Couldnt believe what i was seeing. Orange flavored. Guess the creamsicle flavor was on back order. :)

    Hey they have to sweeten a deal somehow!

    He threw the Husky candy out as it was bar oil flavored! :rofl: :lol:

    Yes 20". Ive asked two other local dealers and they were rather clueless. The boss looks it up on computer and can order one. He has an order going in soon for bulk shipping. Said it may be a couple weeks. I was really surprised. Looked at the pic and appears to be the right one. $75ish plus tax.
    Wanted to give him deposit but he said no and took my number.

    That’s a deal. That’s the price for a regular 20” es bar.

    I'll take the Husky candy. Maybe it could be melted and used as actual bar oil. That stuff isn't cheap, you know! :whistle::thumbs::p

    That Husky candy landed right next to the pumpkin pie that the Echo dealer threw out.

    This was at that Guilford OPE dealer. I think your 400 came from there? Ordered a 20" lightweight bar. (hopefully its the right one)
    Giant Joke and G&H were kinda clueless on them. Nice guy in there. Very helpful. The score i cut was just down the street so of course i had to stop.

    Yeah , Assume you dealt with Joe.
    Nice kid.

    That seems like a pretty good deal to me. If he looked it up, you should be in good shape.

    It was a guy in his 40's??? I think it was Mark IIRC. Same guy i talked to when i went in there the first time. Showed me a pic on the computer and it looked like the right one.
