American Food? Where!!!!!

A four-leaf clover, a tax refund, a guy spinning on his head eating pop rocks: some things in life are hard to believe. So when we heard that there was a store in Melbourne that actually sold food from America, we were a bit skeptical. You see, while they have a lot of products here that are similar to American items, you simply just miss your favorite foods. Can you imagine going 3 ½ months without a Hershey bar? Craving Mexican food? Forget it. How about a can of Dr. Pepper? Keep dreaming. But then we got the address to U.S.A. Foods, and off we went. We had only 60 minutes to make it to the store, which was on the other side of town. Thankfully, we made it. And there it was: Pop Tarts, A&W Root Beer, Lucky Charms, A-1 Steak Sauce, Tootsie Rolls. It was enough to make a grown man cry. Don’t worry, I didn’t. But the bill did. American food ain’t cheap in Australia. To give you an example, a box of Lucky Charms was $12.99. And it didn’t even come with a prize! Oh, well, it will be the best bowl of cereal that we will ever have for dinner (whose waiting for breakfast!).
