Like how a kebab tastes great at 2am but not at 8am or 2pm
Like a pie tastes great at a football match - not so at home.

Totally agree on the chocolate, it's rank! Does anyone know if you can get salad cream in Oz as I couldnt find any when we were there, can't live without it! Luckily McDonalds taste the same - there is a god

It's not as if Australia's climate is a constant 30+ degrees all year round.

Does Cadbury's know that you are doing all this unpaid PR work for them? You are the one man Ambassador for Aussie Chocolate. Don't go to Adelaide, go to Hobart....you'll walk into a job at that factory!
