You went all out at cybercandy hey?

I've got a few things over the years, sometimes get a box of stuff as a gift for people.

Actually its from http://www.americansweets.co.uk/

I love twinkies, and the many joys of Jolt cola, ideal for those long shifts at work... but I visited Brazil last year, and discovered the delights of Guarana Antarctica, so I have taken to buying that also.. usually use www.americansoda.co.uk and www.brazilianproducts.co.uk for all of my overseas cravings... now if I could just find somewhere that sells Medovnik, I'd be all set

I've used Americansoda several times too! Actually waiting for a delivery from them right now. Ordered 24 cans of Tab Cola and 24 cans of Fanta grape

Fruit loops - tasted like polystyrene from what I remember

Pop tarts however, equals win.

God why did I look ar that site, I want root beer. Sainsburys stopped selling it

Craig1981 · 23 Jun 2011 at 14:22

Look AT&T? Was that deliberate or just an amusing typo?

If your going for root beer I recommend getting it from www.americansoda.co.uk

You pay less per can if you order in bulk.

Glaucus · 23 Jun 2011 at 14:25

Typo,

IBC glass bottles drools. Why is it not liked over here, drink of the gods.

You can get it from ASDA (at least, here you can), but I'm not entirely impressed with the stuff. I've certainly tasted better.

Craig1981 · 23 Jun 2011 at 14:45

Then the only sensible thing to do would be to order a lot in one go to justify the large postage fee

Glaucus · 23 Jun 2011 at 14:45

Oh thanks will check it out, any idea what brand it is?
Root beer seems to be one of those things where if you. Are introduced to it young, you would kill for. It. Where if you try it late teens it's not nice. It is a unique taste.

I remember getting it in McDonalds when I was a child.

oh proper captain crunch

Craig1981 · 23 Jun 2011 at 20:07

Just a little individual portion box. Never tried it before, so thought it was better to get that rather than a whole box. I'm planning to have it for breakfast tomorrow

The Grape pop-tarts are awesome I got some of them a few months back! You should've got some Grape Fanta too as that is the greatest drink I've ever tasted!

I want to find somewhere that imports the US flavours of Monster

The mixed fruit and cola ones are AMAZING!
