I remember that at work as well, when I worked in Oz. There were either lamington drives, chocolate drives or pie drives.....

In the lead up to christmas it went mental so they could subsidise alot of the excersions and such....

Woolworths (Safeways) - it's by Nestle and made in Germany. When I couldn't get Hellmans anymore, I bought Thomy. Other brands in Oz are too sweet for my taste.

I just bought half the box and gave it to my brother. Lots of yukky sweets. It costs $4 for a box of sweets you don't want. Next year I'll give them the money and they can keep the sweets. However, I always fall for the KrispyKreme drive and we eat 12 original glazed no probs.
