Topic Options #52813 - 01/16/02 02:29 PM Re: Australian culture Fiberbabe old hand Registered: 01/12/01 Posts: 771 Loc: Portland, Oregon I started another thread elsewhere on the topic, but here seems like a good fit... do you *really* have musk-flavored Life Savers in Australia? Not musk as in muskmelon, but musk as in muskrat. I read it on the internet, so I don't know why I'm doubting the veracity of this claim. But the gag reflex is strong enough to make me ask.

Yes we have musk flavoured Life Savers - the candy with the hole! Musk is a very popular flavouring for sweets here and I am extremely surprised to think you'd be grossed out by it! Life without musk Life Savers or musksticks jest wouldn't be the same!! stales Top #52815 - 01/16/02 09:26 PM Re: Australian culture doc_comfort addict Registered: 01/18/01 Posts: 618 Loc: Australia Taking the path less travelled... And we have muskly Life Savers too. Top #52816 - 01/17/02 06:44 AM Re: Australian culture Jackie Carpal Tunnel Registered: 03/15/00 Posts: 11579 Loc: Louisville, Kentucky Musksticks... = incense?

I get the idea that they were a North American phenomenon, and introduced in Europe and Asia... [confused] Top Page 2 of 11 < 1 2 3 4 ... 10 11 > Go to page...
