6 Aussie Snacks You Need In Your Life

You'll wish these were available ASAP.

When you're an Aussie living in America you don't just miss home, but the snacks as well. Most of the well known Aussie snacks are made by Arnott's an Australian food company, whose name is synonymous with Australia's favourite biscuits.

My favourites include:

Tim Tam

Filled with a chocolate on the outside and inside its a must have in every Australian home. Packets of Tim Tam's are almost always devoured in seconds if left on the table. Tim Tam's come in a variety of flavours including; chocolate (original), white chocolate, dark chocolate, chewy caramel and double chocolate. During the year Arnott's may release 'special edition' flavours as well.

Shapes

Shapes are yet another iconic Aussie snack also made by Arnott's, which are small shapes for example pentagon, hexagon etc. With a range of flavours, everyone can love. Shapes range includes Barbecue, Pizza, Nacho Cheese, Cheddar, and Cheese & Bacon. In addition, Shapes launched three new Shapes flavours: Salt & Vinegar, Roast Chicken and Hot Dog. My favourite, however, is the Pizza & Barbecue flavour.

SAO

SAO's are a wafer thin cracker that tends to go with a vegemite spread and or cheese and tomato, topped with a bit of pepper. If these were in your lunch box as a child you'd be a happy camper.

Tiny Teddy

Tiny Teddy's are another iconic Aussie snack. When these were in my lunchbox as a kid it would brighten up my day 100%. Well even as an adult they would still brighten up my day. Tiny Teddy's come in a variety of flavours including; chocolate, honey, chop chip and hundred of thousands.

Milk Arrowroot

Milk Arrowroot is an oval shaped biscuit usually enjoyed with a nice coffee or tea if you're an adult or just as a snack if you're a kid.

Scotch Finger

Scotch Fingers are preferred for the melt-in-the-mouth crumbliness and heavenly buttery taste. Snap, dunk and enjoy!

I can't tell you how much I miss the snacks listed above. My two fav snacks overall have to be the original Tim Tam's and the Scotch Fingers. Can't wait to go home at the end of the year and indulge in an abundance of snacks.

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

University of Southern California

4713

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

1970

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
