I notice Pollyanna has gone back to the UK with a stash of Twisties, so assume you can't get them there...

What other food, snack or confectionary type products can't you get in the UK that you can get in Aussie supermarkets?

And every time I bring them over we end up giving a couple of packets to homesick Aussies in pubs!

43 different types of canned tuna. The range here is pathetic and what is it with some brands that dont even have ring pull tags on them?

We've found twisties to be near enough the same as nik naks.

The different flavours of Tuna here are a great Australian innovation.

Can you get musk sticks in the UK? Or any musk flavoured candy like Life Savers? You certainly can't get them where I am in the USA and they cost a fortune to import.
