omigosh! this thread just gets better and better! lol... I haveno idea what wintergreen is, and I have never tasted root beer. I LOVE sarsparilla, and especially the version known as "Double Sars". When I used to work in pubs alot of old men used to come and buy a bottle of double sars and add it to their beers. (I hate the flavour of beer too....)
In regards to the pickles at Macca's, well, lets just say that they hate it when they see our car come in the drive through as I always order our entire family's meals sans pickles and tell them that I am happy to wait for them to cook them fresh! They have never refused me yet and usually ask me to park in the car park and then send someone out on foot to hand-deliver our order to our car! lol. Funnily enough Hungry Jack's (Burger King to the yanks), makes nicer flavoured burgers (they are flame grilled), and they actually advertise now that you can request your burger to be made how you want it. ie extra cheese, and no pickles etc. A friend of mine gave me a warning a little while ago that when I get to the US, I should expect to find orange cheese! What's up with THAT?!?! Oh, and yep, I will bring some musk lollies too for you all to taste perfumed candy. I agree too with that one though, it really does feel like you are eating a crunchy beauty product when you are eating those things! And someone mentioned banana sandwiches - do you guys have banana lollies in America? They totally rock! tan. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anthony Farr" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, April 21, 2004 1:00 AM Subject: Re: Disgusting things that Autralians eat > Root beer!
