Hey NZ people, when sending home exciting NZ stuff to people back home, what must I be sure to include? Jaffas, chocolate fish ... add.

Also, do I wait until after Taiwan? Wait, no, probably not because I don't know when I'll be back in Auckland after that trip and I have stuff here waiting to be sent ...

Wow, half of those I haven't had yet. I'll need to look into it.

Pineapple lumps need to be added to my list too.

Also, we saw digitalsprawl in the Auckland airport today on her way back to Melbourne and she said she had a great time with you guys at Wellington Armageddon. I'm still looking forward to the Dunedin convention in May :)

Yes much fun was had in Wellington. Although not enough alcohol was drunk. Also sour worms are good as well.

I was going to say pineapple lumps, yes, and possible minties and fruit bursts (although fruitbursts are pretty similar to those starburst lolly things). Do they have sour coke bottles in north america?

Sour coke bottles? That just sounds wrong.

Ooh, they're so gooooooood. If we go to town at all any time soon I'll buy some and make you try them. (They are GOOD but fiendishly difficult to find nowadays.)

C says we can find them here ...

fruit bursts are nothing like starbursts. they are infinity times better than. :D

but they are pretty similar in general; idk if they would be sufficiently exciting to make up for the volume transfer cost? (however: i totally agree re the superiority of fruit bursts.)

Yes! I'm surprised I haven't mentioned this to you before!

Jaffa is a type of orange. There are Jaffa cakes and candies that are just called jaffas. A jaffa is a choclate ball candy with an orange (colour and flavour) coating. The cakes aren't as good in my recollection ... I don't remember what they're like.

Relegated to dessert status!

Still, those chocolates sound good...

They're not really as good as they sound. The chocolate's rather cheap and the orange flavour doesn't come through clearly. They're not as good as, say, Ovations or Terry's Chocolate Orange. They are as tasty as smarties or M&Ms though (M&Ms here also come in orange flavour).
