Equivalent Items: soap

Who wants to play EQUIVALENT ITEMS?

I send you an item from Serbia. You take that item, and replace it with its EQUIVALENT ITEM in the US. You take a photo. You send me the EQUIVALENT ITEM you replaced. I replace that original item in Serbia with it and take a photo. Or vice versa.

For instance, I send a bar of soap (DECIJI SAPUM) from the Serbian supermarket. You would go to the supermarket and replace one bar of soap of the many stacked on the shelves with mine. So, we end up with a DECIJI SAPUM in a sea of IVORY. You take a beautiful photo, and mail me the IVORY soap. I then go to my local Serbian supermarket, and replace one of their DECIJI SAPUM with an IVORY. I take a photo. I compose it as closely as possible to the photo you took. We pair them. Or vice-versa.

This is the first in what I see as an oh-so-escalating series of exchanges.

So, let me know what you think. If you want to play, send me your address, and I will send you an item.

Or you can send me one of your choosing, and I will reciprocate.

Email me for my address, and to give me yours.
