i don't even know if this is a troll any more.

it's too early in the morning for this. i need coffee.

D: What time is it where you are? It is too late in the evening for this for me!

From this handy xkcd (http://xkcd.com/1335/) can I guess...Australia? Erm...Sydney? /crapshoot

DA

Hi, yes.
9:22 am here.

*waves*

*waves* YAY, I got it! Promise I'm not a stalker, haha. (It's 6:23pm now in Minnesota, but I'm going to Melbourne on Saturday!)

My favourite cupcake place is in Melbourne. Merry Cupcakes.

It's still Wednesday there, right? So weird.

AWESOME, I'll definitely have to try and stop there!

Yep, still Wednesday! Glad to see tomorrow is still to come. ;)

Flavours get updated daily. They all have cute names.

You will never run out of food to try in Melbourne.

Spoiler alert: the world does not end tomorrow.

Totally in support of cute names! They look delicious; thanks for the rec & link. :) Also the reassurance that the apocalypse has not yet hit. ;)

You are Australia? You got some explaining to do. What is going on with your snacks? http://youtu.be/ru6wri23Ljk

1. NO. YOU ARE DOING MILO WRONG.

You need to drink it in summer with really cold milk, and you put it in the glass and then pour the milk.

2. Nobody I know actually like Chicos. Bleurgh.

3. I don't even know what problem they had with Smiths chips. Sour Cream and Onion thins are the superior flavour though.

4. Pizza shapes do taste a little like cardboard, but they're more filling than chips? That's why I like them. BBQ flavour are better though.

5. I've never seen you people eat vegemite like a normal person. Stop what you are doing. Just stop. PUT DOWN THE SPOON.

You only need a thin smear. The thinnest of smears on a piece of toast or a cracker. My favourite way to eat it is on toast with cheese over the top and melt the cheese under the grill. My mum used to put the cheese in strips and call it tiger toast.

6. I see you holding those tim tams, asshole. Yet I do not hear you complaining about them.
This is because they are delicious and there is no way to eat them wrong.

(anon from above)

OMG TIM TAMS ARE AMAZING!! Are you the Tim Tam slam anon? My officemate showed me that the last time I was in Melbourne - also amazing!

And yes, I winced watching vegemite being eaten in that fashion...

I'm not! I'm glad someone helped you out though.

I don't understand why people open the jar, smell it, and still think a spoon is the right utensil.

:/

Officemate also showed me how your coins have "aging" images of the Queen on them!! MIND BLOWN.

I think it's because spreads in non-vegemite/marmite countries tend to be slathered on, so people don't even think about it?

I'd love to see Australians eat American food! They have a British one but no Australians. :C http://youtu.be/s4UEifGF8DU

I have tried several of your chocolate products.

Hershey's kisses taste like dirt to me. Sorry?

Reese's peanut butter cups are also pretty gross. The chocolate is waxy and sugary, and the peanut butter (IS THAT ACTUALLY MEANT TO BE PEANUT BUTTER?) is simultaneously greasy and dry and gritty. I mean, I still ate the whole thing without dying.

I did like Hershey's cookie and cream though.

I am confused by your jam, jelly, jello, preserve situation. Please advise.

(anon from above)

I don't think it's really meant to emulate peanut butter so much as a pb-tasting sugar/fat paste? So I can see where that would be off-putting if you were expecting actual peanut butter (I love Reese's cups, but I grew up on them haha).

Jello here is a gelatin jiggly food (I think it is what you call jelly?). Jelly here doesn't have the fruit in it, just juice for flavoring (so it's more easily spreadable), and jam/preserves are pretty similar (fruit pieces mixed in) but I think jam is more "homogenous" (like if you mixed pulp in) while preserves tend to have bigger chunks of fruit (maybe)?

I like Hershey's Dark Chocolate but that is it. I love Resse's Cups and they don't really taste like actual peanut butter. I can't stand cookies and cream chocolate. D: White chocolate makes me nauseous.

Here is a pretty good description:
Jelly is a clear fruit spread made from cooked fruit juice and sugar, and possibly pectin, which helps it gel and thicken. After the initial cooking, jelly is strained through a muslin stockinette or “jelly bag” to remove any solids.

Jam is a thick spread made from fruit juice, chopped, crushed, or puréed fruit, and sugar. Pectin may also be added to help it gel, but jams are usually looser than jellies. Jam typically contains a bit of fruit pulp, so it’s not entirely transparent.

Preserves are another thick fruit spread made from fruit cooked with sugar, but in this case, large pieces of the fruit, or the whole fruit (as in the case of berries), are suspended in a firm jelly or less-gelled syrupy base. Unlike jams and jellies, preserves are chunky in texture.

In my expeience, jelly is cheap. Jam is a bit more expensive. Preserves are things you buy at Farmer's markets or make at home.

Jello is gelatin! So not something you spread on bread. It is what the Jurassic Park girl is eating!

Okay, I'm with you on all the others, but you really don't like Reese's? That's like...like....I think I need the smelling salts.

Question!

Does Vegemite taste similar to Marmite? Because I only know Marmite and I always got the impression that it's basically a spreadable bouillon cube thing?

As someone who has eaten and disliked both ... no, no it doesn't.

Dammit, I had things to do this afternoon. Now I'm just madly clicking the related links and watching people be confused by foreign food.

I KNOW! I have watched SO many. And still have way more to go. Their other vids are great too.
