I've got a feeling this is going to get worse before it gets better - but here goes....

Musksticks are pink, about six inches long - but about as thick as a biro. They have a star shaped cross section. On hot, humid days (or if a bit stale) they tend to be limp and melt in the mouth. On cold days (or when fresh) they are more stiff and crunchy.

I'm sitting here hearing peals of laughter from all over the world.

I simply cannot believe you guys don't have these things - I reckon they are eaten more often than chewing gum by Aussie kids.

Disbelievers please email me and I'll send a pic - just downloaded one. Pack of ~25 A$1.39 at the local supermarket!
