My thoughts on SnackCrate from Australia...

in australia •  7 years ago 

Twisties, Cheezels, Chicos and Fantales ("fan" "tales") are probably the most typical Australian snacks in the box there. Shapes are pretty likely to show up on the table at a party, too.

Twisties - they probably should've sent you some chicken flavoured twisties instead of the cheese ones, since the chicken flavouring that is so predominant here in snack goods is somewhat unique.

Fantales - half the fun is reading the movie trivia on the wrapper

Cheezels - you need to put one on each finger and eat them like you're a fancy person with all your majestic rings.

Instead of whatever Arnotts cookie ('biscuit') they sent you, they should have sent you a pack of Monte Carlos... easily the most popular cookie in Australia.

Funny that he balked at the picnic bar, as the slogan for that for a whiel was "deliciously ugly". We also had these in Canada when I grew up - didn't realise they weren't sold in the US. Generally, you'll find Australian chocolate tastes a bit different to US chocolate - partly because of the anti-melting agents they have to add due to the heat here.

LPT: Smash up the violet crumble and eat it over your ice cream with caramel

Also, you got robbed on the TIm Tams. By far the #1 snack treat in Australia and they sent you the weird Tim Tam Fingers which nobody eats or buys.

Yummm! I felt like the Australian version of snacks has a lot less crap in it than we have.

Maybe a little, but mostly they just label them differently. Like MSG is labelled as "Flavour Enhancer 621"
