As a non-American, over half of these are unknown.

The famous snack in movies here in Australia are Jaffas, a hard-coated orange-flavoured chocolate ball (10mm diameter). You would roll jaffas down the aisles.

Thank you for sharing this, Duke! It's great to hear about treats across the world. Could you share a few more? Maybe we could create an Australian version of this list?

Mars Pods, Maltesers and Violet Crumble. These are all chocolate-based. Upon reflection, I think we are happy to share a block of chocolate. Aussie chocolate is much better than American chocolate (IMO), so it has a broader appeal.

Strawberries and cream (soft candy).

Love it! Thanks for sharing, Duke! I'd probably agree with you about Aussie vs. American chocolate. I'm happy to do a taste test if you want to send me some ;) If you'd like to submit an Aussie version of this post, let me know.
