That IS a lot! The ones here were maybe a pound...and cost six or seven dollars for that.
Think drug dogs like maté? ;-)
OMG!!! I really do need to mail you some!!! I'm thinkin' I paid 2 bucks for a big bag! I really don't know how many pounds, maybe not as many as I'm thinkin' but it's the same *size* as a 5 pound bag of flour.
