    Pretty much half of the things that are everyday in New Zealand are not available at all in the UK, or if they are, they must be purchased via little-known websites that import it directly for you. I could go on forever. Here's a few of examples off the top of my head, though.

    Colby cheese
    Mountain Dew
    K-Bars
    Mince and cheese pies (I haven't looked at this in-depth, I just thought of it now, actually)
    Nutri Grain cereal
    Maggi onion soup mix / Nestle reduced cream and, because of these two, a good onion chip dip
    Fresh Up
    Jellytip ice cream
    Bow before the mighty Javoo!

    How does the UK not have colby cheese?

    I will be adding (real) Mars bars, knackwurst, and po' boys to the list.

    Every now and then, I renew my search. Every time I come up with nothing. You can't even find it in import stores, so I suppose cheese is not something you're supposed to import... I don't know, it'd probably go bad, I guess. But yeah. I have to make do with mild cheddar in my sandwiches and it's not the same. I've now not had colby for nine years and when I do have it again, I'll probably have to readjust my taste buds once more, but I'm hoping that's not the case and I can simply return to the glory of colby with perfect results.

    Snapple Apple. There's just no other apple drink that's the same. The only Snapple I find here are the tea flavors and Mango Madness. I do like Peach Tea and Mango Madness, but I want Snapple Apple. It's the one good thing about living in Florida.

    *looks at a slice of colby cheese* I've been taking you for granted! ;__;

    I'll eat at Waffle House and I still won't eat at a Jack In The Box.

    Stranger. Danger.
