By the way Xylo, this isn't to fuss over my immersion, more to let you know a fun random fact about Australia - did you know that Pop-Tarts are super loving expensive over here?

Yeah it's like blacktail just cracked some caviar and smoked salmon for breakfast.



No seriously, what do they cost in the US? They're like $5 here for a box. There's not much of a market for them though as they never took off but I wouldn't think $5 a box is expensive.

I've only seen them at a couple specialty stores that have random American candy and junk. And there they jack up the price to like $7-$10 a box.

yeah that's because they're probably importing them themselves. Never had a poptart before.

They're pretty good, actually. Especially if you do bother to toast them instead of slacking off and eating them cold like I used to half the time.

Again no market, no major supermarket carries them now only those speciality stores that sell butter fingers and those sort of things.

Dr Pepper is in the 'international' isle at Coles between the asian and indian food.

I think I would say to my daughters if they were to ask me this question... A shitpost is the greatest gift that you can give someone, the ultimate gift of giving and don't give it to someone lightly, that's what I would say.

They used to produce the poptarts here but they didn't sell well so were discontinued. All the poptarts y'all see nowadays are imported from the USA by USAFoods which is why the prices are so jacked. They're pretty popular now, though.

I agree, also running through the umbra at double speed means we could get somewhere quicker by transitioning so start using the spirit world more strategically.

Your rain power worked, by the way, it's just not instantaneous. It takes a while for the storm to roll in. The stormcrow knew this and was setting you up.
