I popped into WarrSugFix today (Warringah Mall Sugar Fix) and purchase many a item,

I got some twizzlers, some apple soft drink and about four packs of pop tarts!

They also offer online sales I believe..http://www.sugarfix.com.au/

City Interchange IGA now has pop-tarts, and they have a LOT of them. I only saw 2 packs (i.e. not the boxes of 5) but they had a bunch of flavours. They were between the deli and the checkouts.

bubzie · « **Reply #56 on:** August 08, 2008, 09:52:59 PM »

arrgh! i was in civic today, and was filling in time, and thought "i should look in iga if they've got anything.." and didnt.

Arrgh. Will go to civic, and fufil my pop-tart cravings.

Buzz Killington · « **Reply #57 on:** August 15, 2008, 06:35:43 PM »

Busnerd · « **Reply #66 on:** December 08, 2008, 05:23:41 PM »

those have been out for ages, they are pretty bland...

we tried to buy some out of a vending machine at miranda but it refused to vend them and said CHOOSE ANOTHER

lukeo25 · « **Reply #67 on:** January 08, 2009, 09:29:58 PM »

Sir Pompously · « **Reply #68 on:** January 08, 2009, 09:59:34 PM »

Yes they are, have been there for Ages. They also now stock a range of Bluebird New Zealand 'Crisps' and other snacks, along with other types of Pringles like Roast Baked Potato, Barbeque and others. They have a chocolate bar from Cadbury that is New Zealand as bro, in the shape of a thong I believe.

Snorzac · « **Reply #69 on:** March 04, 2009, 03:10:53 AM »

Hawker IGA now has a similar drinks range to that of East Row IGA

lukeo25 · « **Reply #70 on:** March 04, 2009, 07:24:09 AM »

my local shop has a lot of american things like pop tarts, cherry coke, dr pepper, peanut butter cups among other things

bubzie · « **Reply #71 on:** March 08, 2009, 03:56:28 PM »

bubzie · « **Reply #72 on:** March 15, 2009, 08:07:32 PM »

I'm actulary planning to go to all of ze iga's in canberra, and see if they have anything.....yeah, i'm that bored.

lukeo25 · « **Reply #73 on:** March 15, 2009, 08:52:01 PM »

bubzie · « **Reply #74 on:** March 22, 2009, 07:12:15 PM »

isabella plains iga - they had cherry coke. nothing else.
banks iga - nothing at all. epic fail.

and, i found out today, that blockbusters in lanyon has dr pepper, cherry coke, and strawberry fanta. i went there, and they had diet dr pepper and fanta, but they...apparently do have cherry coke as well. Huzzah.

Buzz Killington · « **Reply #75 on:** March 22, 2009, 07:26:32 PM »

i was at Isabella IGA less than a week ago and i saw Butterfingers and Hershey's in their chocolate aisle.

lukeo25 · « **Reply #76 on:** March 22, 2009, 07:54:08 PM »

erindale blockbuster has Diet Dr Pepper tasted like **** and normal Dr Pepper (i do my WEX there $3 a can rip off in my terms as i can get it $1 cheaper in civic)

Snorzac · « **Reply #77 on:** April 04, 2009, 01:55:56 AM »

Hawker has a range of American sweets including Hershey's and Peanut Butter Cups. The drinks they stock include DR Pepper, Cherry Coke, Strawberry Fanta and another Fanta that is in a yellow can.

Buzz Killington · « **Reply #78 on:** April 04, 2009, 11:45:33 AM »

Yellow?

Any chance you can check that out and let us know what flavour? Passionfruit was always my favourite Fanta, and Pineapple is awesome too. If its either one of those I may have to go out there and get some.

Sir Pompously · « **Reply #79 on:** April 04, 2009, 11:48:52 AM »

Pineapple I believe is the Yellow can. Do you know, Zac, if it is Indonesian (Will have Rasa written on the can), Hong Kong, British or American?

At Rockdale Station on a platform vending machine they have Raspberry Fanta in 600ml bottles. Yummy.

Snorzac · « **Reply #80 on:** April 04, 2009, 11:51:23 AM »

I'm not sure, I will check it out

Buzz Killington · « **Reply #81 on:** April 07, 2009, 06:33:46 PM »

I'll answer my own question here, it was Pineapple.

Also, Hawker shops are a dive. Yuckkkk

Snorzac · « **Reply #82 on:** April 07, 2009, 06:40:58 PM »

a dive???

Buzz Killington · « **Reply #83 on:** April 07, 2009, 06:47:55 PM »

dump

Unappealing
Nasty
Unpleasent
Distasteful
Repellent
Uninviting

Just to add to that list.

And as I asked Zac, Snrub old bean, what country is the said Pineapple Fanta from? I went down and grabbed a few can's of A&W Cream Soda from East Row IGA and boy howdy do I love that stuff. Guru and Stretch both tried 'Dirty' brand chips, only for the Guru to comically declare "Where's the flavour?"

Snorzac · « **Reply #85 on:** April 07, 2009, 06:55:13 PM »

They are in the middle of a refurb, when was the last time you were there?

Buzz Killington · « **Reply #86 on:** April 07, 2009, 06:59:24 PM »

umm.. 17:25:04 today.

Pompously, its from the US. $2.69

Snorzac · « **Reply #87 on:** April 07, 2009, 07:04:32 PM »

Ha, only 10min after me. You better be careful what you say my girl friend works there.

Buzz Killington · « **Reply #88 on:** April 07, 2009, 07:06:00 PM »

well i actually wandered around the store for a litlte bit. Who knows.. i may have seen you!

Busnerd · « **Reply #89 on:** April 07, 2009, 09:17:17 PM »

For those interested, a chocolate shop up here has pineapple fanta for $2 a can, you can also buy packs of 12 for $20.40

lukeo25 · « **Reply #90 on:** April 07, 2009, 09:21:05 PM »

well i tried some chocolate mix skittles 2day from the lolly shop opposite the braidwood bakery and they tasted good and i have also had cherry pepsi from east row iga it tasted like cherry coke

Went to isabella today, and found said chocolate and such.
They were sold out of everything except junior mints and hersheys.
Richardson doesnt have anything, im positively sure...they didnt have cherry coke/dr pepper .etc, so im guessing not.

Tried a can of Cherry Coke from IG City Interchange & I hated it, tasted like cough medicine

The lolly shop at gold creek, federation square. All that American stuff, yum yum :)

Busnerd · « **Reply #95 on:** May 12, 2010, 12:00:59 PM »

Bus 400 - i totally agree! Cherry is not a nice flavour for a drink...I wish someone would make my patent pending orange coke....

Seriously try it, get one postmix coke and add one orange slice and stir, its a really nice flavour

lukeo25 · « **Reply #96 on:** May 12, 2010, 12:17:04 PM »

orange coke you say

Sir Pompously · « **Reply #97 on:** May 12, 2010, 02:36:36 PM »

I, along with many Americans and Europeans, find that Cherry is a nice flavour to drink.

A list of coka flavours can be found in the Coke Wiki article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coca-Cola

p_stampy · « **Reply #98 on:** May 12, 2010, 03:39:16 PM »

In the Supabarn part of the canberra centre, there is an open lollie stand that has been there for a few weeks now.

It kind of reminds me of the lollie shop that was in belco until about 1992.

It looks like you pick what you want into a bag, then it gets weighed, then you pay.

I haven't actually checked it out properly as I don't eat lollies that often.

Sir Pompously · « **Reply #99 on:** May 12, 2010, 03:55:02 PM »

I know the one you are talking about, and I am sure T3 in Sydney now has one of these aswell. When I went past the price shocked me, so I stayed well clear.
