Ah, too funny, 'thul!!! No, I'm not in the habit of drinking wool wash 
... this is the Milo I consume and I daresay it would be far nicer than yours!
@ Fool-ish: I'm siding with your son! I love Vegemite but even the smell of either Marmite and Promite has me heaving...blecky...it's DISGUSTING!!
@ Valarya: Vegemite reactions are always interesting!
Years ago my sons and I corresponded with a couple of Year Five classes from Prince Edward Island (Canada for those of you who don't know...not to mention the home of Anne of Green Gables, which is why we were corresponding with them in the first place). We would parcels of 'Aussie stuff' over there now and then but the very first thing I sent were individual samples of Vegemite. Half loved it and wanted more, and others hated it. I can see why people wouldn't like it but, when you grow up with it, I guess it just becomes a part of you? I eat it often, especially on toast. I also use it in casseroles, rissoles etc. Just not having it sit in my pantry makes me feel less at home somehow!
Twisties
ANZAC Biscuits - at least I could make these while overseas, if I had the ingredients
Product description for Fantales : "Allen Fantales. One of Australia's favourite lollies. Chewy caramel with a rich milk chocolate coating." They come individually wrapped and there is always a piece of movie/movie star/entertainment trivia on the outside.
Chicos are like jelly babies but instead they are chocolate flavoured.
Tim Tams, reading the wiki article, seem to have exported into various forms so maybe I would not have to miss them so much!
Raspberry cordial - the only brand worth drinking is Golden Cirlce by the way - is a drink that you add cold water to...great for a hot day! My son's Amercian friends said that it was kind of like some drink they had at home...can't remember the name but I think it had the word 'pop' in it? Cordial isn't fizzy, just flavoursome...
Lamingtons, which I could also make away from home, if I had the ingredients available.
