I think the Mexicans referred to here are Victorians. People from Queensland and New South Wales often refer to Victorians as Mexicans because they live south of the border.

Thanks for pointing that out - I appreciated the Google effort but not that complication/change.

I love a Big Mac.

This is the reason you have no Vegemite:::


Kraft spokeswoman Joanna Scott said: "The (US) Food and Drug Administration doesn't allow the import of Vegemite simply because the recipe does have the addition of folic acid.''

The US was "a minor market'' for Vegemite, she said.


Maybe you have Marmite over there.

Aussie mcdonalds is great compared to a number of mcdonalds' overseas (not sure why!).

We have vegemite in certain shoppes, but its under another name. For some reason i think they cant have Kraft's name on it, but it does exist in America as a specialty product.

It's just because it's Australian - great Aussie Beef and Dairy

I had a pretty laidback Australia Day, spent it at a leadership camp at school and then had basketball training. But finished it off with going to a party, no alcohol for me, a good BBQ though.

Enjoyed the parts of the Hottest 100 that I got to listen to.
