Cinnamon Toast CrunchAs manufacturing processes improve, streamlining products' volume, taste, and packaging takes thousands of human and computing hours each year. Sometimes change revokes previous progress. In regards to Cinnamon Toast Crunch, my memory of the cereal as a child assures itself that things have changed for the worse. Tasting like some aggregation of cheap fragrance and feeling like chemical silt grinding against teeth and tongue when chewing, this cereal, what's entire marketing appears to be encouragement of addiction, equals abomination. I advise strongly against purchase of this product.
Every so often the Groceries Outlet will offer some seasonal kind of CTC for a dollar. I enjoyed French Toast Crunch a lot and would definitely purchase it again. Maybe for as much as $1.99! The Cinnafuego was fine, I guess (awful at first but then developed into something kind of fun). Currently I am snacking on a box of Dulce de Leche Toast Crunch. It is so overwhelmingly sweet. I need to try it in milk to see if that'll tamp it down a bit.
Hopefully the gingerbread version will hit a dollar soon, I'm interested in trying it.

liebkartoffel, Raspberry Coca-Cola is available throughout Australasia as a regular offering. Please, commence the grassroots agitation needed to bring it to market stateside.

We generally stock Cinnamon Toast Crunch; I like to eat it in a 50/50 mixture with regular Cheerios.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch is often ~$7 for two giant boxes. That's the only reason breakfast cereal is ever something I buy, since I agree that it is (and always has been) ludicrously pricey anywhere else.

Cadbury Marshmallow Egg
Oh, Cadbury! You're making me want your cheap and most available chocolate again. Shame on you. Lucky this one is around only at Easter. Light, petrochemically-sourced fruity flavours that have distinction between fake albumen and fake yolk hide within the marshmallow. Greasy wax vegelate coats the extruded animal by-product. creating a better to the industrial goo fondant found in the Creme Egg.

Score. Gingerbread Toast Crunch for 89 cents.

Score. Gingerbread Toast Crunch for 89 cents. they are not as sweet as regular CTC or the dulce de Leche variety. they are also less dusty in texture than either. however, I'm not getting much ginger flavor. I will have to try this with milk and a little salt to see if that'll bring it out. I'm fine with what I paid, but I certainly wouldn't go over a buck on these.

Zefir
The NZ Groc Out had some Ukranian Zefir. Tasty fruit-puree-infused meringue covered in chocolate. The one box I got used apple puree. Highly recommended.

more recent sub-$1 GrossOut snack buys:
sabra x stubb's bbq sauce. I paid 18 cents for a 6oz container, and tbh that's fair. didn't taste like hummus at all, you could only taste the bbq. my dad vacuumed it up, though.
toom Buffalo garlic dip. pretty tasty! I'd buy this again, and I'm interested in trying their other flavors.
parmalat Jocoque Seco, plain and JalapeΓ±o/Cheddar spread and dip. these are kefir based dips. also good, the plain one was great in a tangy creamy pasta sauce. I'm annoyed I didn't pick up their chipotle flavor as well. would repurchase.

The Gold Coast Snack Review
All of the more extreme North American snacks are available at a number of conveniences throughout the Gold Coast. The Prime Energy drink; Dr. Peppers in most of their forms. I ended up looking for the new Coke Zero K-Pop can/bottle, but I couldn't find it.
I liken the place to Turbo Daytona, Ft. Vegas-Lauderdale. You get me. That said, Straya still does its own thing.
Smith's Cheese and Onion Crisps/Potato Chips
Enough onion powder to provide contrast to the sharp cheese flavour. However, nothing special.
Sunkist
For those of a connoisseurial persuasion in the realm of soda pop, they would likely confirm Canadian Sunkist is truly the best, with its light pulp that slightly outshines Orangina. The Australian version has no pulp, but how the bottler chooses to formulate their syrup differs slightly to US Sunkist. Recommended, if only for enjoying the 375ml can. No paltry 330ml (Euro and NZ size). Or just a cup-and-a-half, 355ml size (North America can size).
Hungry Jacks
I don't remember the history behind why Burger King could not claim its name-throne in Australia. A name change to the king with a downgrade to the lower stratum of "jack" gives this corporate burger joint a jolt for the better. The fries were better. The nuggets better. The burgers carry only flame-kissed smoke embrace, instead of brutally broiled injection into the meatwad.Β
What I Did Not Touch With A 3m Pole
Life Savers' Musk & Raspberry Jellies Milk Chocolate Block (160g)
I've mentioned the Slothropian lollies here in Australasia. Seems the Aussies dug themselves further in to fragrant frisson by transposing their musk-flavoured sweet into a chocolate bar.Β
