Once again an example of rampant US cultural imperialism. Doesn't it occur
to you guys that non-US list members have no idea what a Nilla is? And that
putting them in banana pudding may be culturally, gastronomically and
religiously offensive (whatever they are)? It's not enought that Campbells
bought our major local biscuit (cookie) manufacturer, putting the Iced VoVo
traditon at risk but now they're importing the Oreo - a vastly inferior
product to the local version. And while we're at it can we get it clear
that a utility vehicle, the 'Ute,' is an Australian invention, has nothing
to do with sport and is not a 4WD...
Good grief
