      A tip maybe it could be useful for you: - While testing a lot of eating stuff just drink a sip of water after every food you ate. So this will help you knowing the more accurate taste of a product. This way things won't mix up.

      bite the end of each end of the tim tam and slurp milk , coffee or tea through them, if using a hot beverage quickly push the rest into your gob and the thing will dissolve into the drink ... congratulations you have just had a tim tam slam !! g'day from Australia, and Alanna you said Aussie correctly.. well done ... bye bye

    Allen's are called pick and mix in the UK and are produced by Bebeto and can be bought in B&M. Fabulotious is also available to buy in the UK by another name that i can't remember but is on sale in Iceland shops and you get more in the bag

    All of these sweets reminds me of the sweets I used to get on the way back from school in the non PC era ( I'm not saying it was good now!). You used to be able to get what was called "Pirates Tobacco" which was shredded coconut, coloured brown to look like tobacco and packaged just like , well, rolling tobacco! And this was marketed and sold to children. There were also "Sweet Cigarettes" which was just a box of 10 white "candy sticks" with red food dye at the top to give the impression it was alight. Talk about training us all to become smokers when we grew up.. I just got addicted to the sugar!

    Reminds me of a little shop I found in London 20+ years ago that used to sell sweets from around the world way before internet ordering took over - if you ordered something specific it often took 6 weeks to arrive!! I used to spend a fortune on all sorts of goodies, including some Aussie stuff. Yum!

    I never really thought of Australia having their own sweets, those native to their country. I guess I just assumed they had the same (or variations of) what the UK and US has. It seems I learnt something. Really hope they got on top of these fires soon though. It's been incredibly devastating on everything and yet there's still people that play it down like it's not important. My best wishes to all those affected by it.

    Menthol (also in Vick's) and Eucalyptus is what we suck when we have a cold or flu, to clear our nose and throat. They're not something you eat every day unless you're a eucalyptus freak. The major lolly maker in Australia is Allens.
    Black and Gold is a supermarket "no name" brand. The original bananas are made by Allen's.
    Some of those things you ate, I have never heard of, possibly imported sweets, not Aussie, like the Zappa and the red sherbet filled chews.
    Australia is very warm to hot, so we tend to keep open packets of chocolate (blocks, biscuits and bars) in the fridge or freezer, especially prior to opening them to have with your cuppa.

      Oh no...I have so many memories of my parents here in Canada taking me to A&W and me having a huge bubbly Root Beer in a frosted glass mug and loving it. I haven’t had one for a long time due to watching sugar grams of which a small A&W has about 40, and the Diet ones just don’t cut it.

      I thought that the diet version was pretty good. That probably comes from not drinking much of anything like that in years.

    I made some notes while watching of thoughts that occurred to me.
    1. I definitely remember the banana stuff. It was like for sore throats or throat infections or something.
    2. Does eating a Retro Gummy Man count as cannibalism?
    3. I was a little concerned you weren't gonna say anything about your teeth since you always do when trying candy but then you slipped it in at the end.
    You're lovely Alanna, never change.

      @Laura O'Brien Well, your last name already fits with Ireland, so that's a good start. As you say Ireland, not Northern Ireland, I guess you mean the southern part? There's some really nice places out there and with the mess the UK is in, you're probably better off being in the south. Good luck to you when you do eventually move. :-)

    When I was about 5 years old I contracted measles and was prescribed antibiotic medicine which had an artificial cherry flavour...and I haven't been able to stand that taste ever since. Real cherries are fine, but the artificial flavour, like cherry coke...no! Also, my extended family in New Zealand (I'm in the NW UK) are always telling me that Whittaker's chocolate is the best in the world (I haven't personally tried it) and they have some really interesting flavours (Jelly tip?!) so that might make an interesting tasting video. 🙂
