Hey, is this another fake Aussie product?

[The Unknown Gomer]

I remember from one of the other threads that there is no actual haircare system (shampoo, conditioner, stying products) in Australia that will "put some roo in your doo", despite us having an entire line of stuff that's called "Aussie". I was SO disappointed. LOL. :D The stuff still smells great though, with all those supposed Aussie ingredients...

Got another product, some new meal-type bars that I picked up at Costco last night, this one actually says "imported from Australia", so just curious as to whether you actually have THIS one there either, or if I'm destined for disappointment yet again. :P

They're called "Be Natural" Fruit and Nut bars, and the box that they came in had two different types, Almond/Apricot, and one that's just called Fruit and Nut, with about five different types of fruits and nuts going on in it.

Do you actually have these in Australia, or is the "imported from" claim just them yanking my chain again?

EDIT: *nom nom nom* Hmm... these are - um - different. After reading the ingredients, I can see why they're 250 calories each. The main ingredients are Almonds, coconut, invert sugar, apricots, glucose syrup, honey, crisp rice (with sugar) etc. They taste okay, and there's a lot to them, but probably wouldn't buy them again though... there are better bars that cost less, with less calories (although 250 for breakfast isn't too out of line).

Yes. We do have them and they're popular and sold in service stations as well as supermarkets. They're very tasty, and have a few calories in them. :P Not sure where they're made. What does it say on the packet?

So this one really IS from Australia. I didn't get roo'd in my doo this time. :P

And lets see... *squints, being too lazy to pull out the reading glasses* it says these are made in Charmhaven NSW. On 18 Pacific Highway. :)

Had the second flavor for my lunch today. I'm not usually real big on walnuts, but there was enough other stuff jammed in there that it didn't taste all that walnutty.

The Pacific Highway isn't too far away from either Sandie or myself.

I had to remember where Charmhaven is. :P Thank you Mr Google. It's north of Sydney.
