I have been surprised to discover my Pantene conditioner and Woolworths brand tinned chicken both come from Thailand. What imported grocieries have you noticed in your pantry?

Coles' tinned tuna chunks (Thailand).
Coles' Italian diced tomatoes (Italy, which came as a pleasant surprise).
Woolworths' tinned sliced apple (South Africa).
Oxo cubes (England).
Haldirum's pure ghee (India).
Ayam coconut creem (Malaysia).
My personal favourite: Rviana basmati rice (Pakistan). The label on the bag includes this mind-boggling slogan...
...which sounds faintly pornographic.

My toothpaste is from Bulgaria...but it's not in the pantry.

Pantene shampoo and conditioner and Oil of Olay are air-freighted into Australia, hence the price, I wonder how much they are produced in Thailand for?

And one of the big name underwear manufacturer's bra's are made in the Philippines and they are airfreighted in too. Can't quite remember if it was Berlei, but almost sure it was.
