Why don't we get peanut butter M&Ms in NZ?

**Quartida** · 21st December 2005, 20:32

Hi all.

Just doing the introduction thing. I'm the unfortunate pillion of aff-man

and have been convinced into 'this whole biking thing' by him. Looking out for a bike at the moment, still havent got my Learner's and stuff but I'm working on it.

And on my mother. Living at home is great and cheap, but it comes with some unfortunate overprotective consequences

However, here I am, pillion until otherwise stated.

And why DON'T we get peanut butter M&Ms in New Zealand? It's a travesty.

**Waylander** · 21st December 2005, 20:36

Peanut butter M&M's, Reeses Peanut butter cups, REAL Dr.Pepper(Not that watered down crap they try to sell here), Baby-Ruth, Barq's Root-Beer, cheap food at McDonalds/Wendy's/Burger Kingand a host of other things I'm probably forgeting.

And Welcome to the site.

Fek me - you'd do well forgetting that shite............

Bugger that, that stuff was good. 5 bucks got me 6 McChicken sandwiches or 6 Bacon Cheeseburgers or 6 Whoppers. And the candy gave me something to nibble when I got the munchies between meals. It's a wonder I'm so thin really.

Anyway, enough of that. Hijacking the poor ladies thread and all lol.

**In The Breeze** · 21st December 2005, 20:49

Hi and wellcome along. Hope you didnt bring any with ya:eyepoke:
Enjoy and remember more for you

**Quartida** · 21st December 2005, 21:54

That's OK, hijacking threads is all part of daily life.

And besides, hijacking threads to talk about junk food isn't merely legitimate, it's fantastic.

See, much as we can criticise America, they have turned out some FINE junk food.

(ha, after saying that, it seems it's a wonder I'm so thin too. I have a fear that I'll but my leathers and then after Christmas I'll look like a whale trying to fit into a swimsuit

)

What about Pop Tarts, Doritos and Twinkies??? mmmmm not like the crap they have here!! Oh and i will never forget Hamburger Helper.... strange stuff!!

Welcome to the site BTW

**Quartida** · 21st December 2005, 22:03

It's so bizarre...I know all the names of those things you just mentioned, but I actually have no idea what they all are. For all I know, a Twinkie could be a lemon flavoured salmon sandwich.

I know it's not, but to be honest, I don't actually know what it IS.

Ooh, but we DO get Pop Tarts in NZ...at least we used to. I don't know if they're the same though. :-/

**Waylander** · 21st December 2005, 22:03

POP TARTS!!!!! OMFG! Lucky me my brother is going back for 2 weeks next year.

Twinkies!! Resses Peanut butter cups in Milk Chocolate and, my favorite, White Chocolate Doritos
Poptarts.

TACO - FUCKING- BELL!!!

Budweiser that dont cost $20 a frikkin 6 pack..(any idea how trollied i can get on $20 worth of Bud back home?)

i guess for the NZ market.. Marmite M&M's would be a hit though

**MrMelon** · 21st December 2005, 22:25
