OK, so we have been watching the Australian Open. I recognize all of the ads I see except Garnier so I think it is something Australian. The logo is very attractive but doesn't give any clue as to its function!

usually women beauty care range , although they do hair shampoos & other thing for men as well.

i always thought they were an american company, because all your celebs are promoting the products.

I've never heard of it. It is pretty funny that they use US celebs to push it. Obviously our consumerism ** umm excuse me discriminating taste** is world renowned! I asked my husband about it and he said it was an Australian sports drink! I thought that was funny because in America we advertise sports drinks with sports figures/equipment not dots.

OK, I asked at work and they say we have them here too. I guess I need to spend more time in the poo aisle at the store and not just pick up the flavor of Suave that appeals to me that day. :)

Yeah we have a poo aisle as well , with slogans such as
"nothing say's i love you more that eating corn the night before". ok, im getting off the subject of poo's now:sick:

Tell me something, what is so totally unique to USA that you dont even export.

We have a product called fosters, & we do anything but keep in in australia..lol

Yeah, you are close enough to get it! I wish someone would open a franchise here! I love Skyline. In April my niece's color guard will go to the Winterguard World Competition in Dayton. I intend to eat there at least twice in the 2 nights/3 days we are in town!

skyline is a great brand of cars, but never seen an esky named after it.

Do you have tim tams over there?
what about vegemite?

CarmieJo

Vegemite you can get and there is some kind of Australian drink that is kind of like hot chocolate. It is very mild chocolate and has a little malt taste to it. I had it at a schoolmates of Dominic who is Australian.

Skyline is a very cool car but what I am talking about is a ground meat that is in tomato sauce seasoned with cinnamon and chocolate. It is served over noodles with cheese, beans and onions. You can get a 3-way with noodles, meat and cheese, a 4 way with one of the others or a 5 way with all of them. Yummy!
