Must contact USA friends...
Stores in Melbourne have mostly moved to 18g packets now. Although they're now poluted by "Win an MP3 player" packets. But I don't collection competition packets.
Passionfruit Mint appears to no longer be stocked in Coles or K-Mart meaning it's probably on the way out (won't be missed).
The "Big Box" brand seems to be going strong in K-Mart (still only Orange and Peppermint).
No exciting new flavours. I remember that Lemon Mint was only supposed to be until August. I wonder if it will be replaced with anything? Perhaps it's time for another phone call.
Wintergreen still tastes like Satin wee. Cinnamon is great but not really worth importing. I want Fruit Festival...

He also suggested that Australia (with it's allies) must remain in the Middle East in order to (amongst other things) protect "energy supply". Full scale destabilisation of the Middle East would cut off a large section of the world's supply of oil.
I believe it's the first time Howard has admitted the Iraq war is about oil, at least in part.
One wonders if the USA had spent trillions of dollars on alternative energy instead of war, they might have invented themselves out of their energy mess by now and the Middle East's oil wouldn't matter to anyone.
Maybe.
