The Carepackage from Down Under for Chrissy and Lou

[Alex655321]

Our Down Under Carepackage Experience !

It started with a large box that mysteriously appeared at my door !

We got a nice card from the cobbers that sent us this mysterious box.

Look at all this stuff !!!

We (myself and chrissy) decided to watch a movie and sample the treats !
The movie we picked was lame, so if you have a chance to rent "Superhero Movie" ....DON'T !!! lol

First up on the taste test is.....
The Chili & Sour Cream Chips !
Me and Chrissy both agree, these are the best chips ever !!!
Too bad only one bag in the box, and I double and triple checked for more believe me !
http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l52/alex655321_2006/care%20package/Picture024.jpg

Next up was the chicken twists !
Strange taste at first, kinda like a chicken soup flavored cheesy poof !
I wasn't thrilled about it at first, but after I got used to it, I devorued the other 2 bags of it !!! (at another time of course since we had a lot to try in front of us !
http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l52/alex655321_2006/care%20package/Picture016.jpg

Ok, Chrissy is a cheese freek, and she loved them and sadly I wasn't too crazy about it.

Then we decided to change it up a bit and taste the candies !
My favorite as well as chrissys was the boost !
She liked the one with nutz better, and I liked the one without, go figure ! lol

The crunchie is pretty cool, it's like a butterfinger that melts in your mouth, the yellow and blue wrapped thingys are like milk duds, and the mintys we use to clean our palet between tasting the treats !

Then there are 2 things that should be made only for men ! Thats right, snacks for guys !

Cheese Bacon Balls ! And Burger Rings (sorry no picture of the burger rings, but the are pretty good)

I could not get enough Cheese Bacon Balls !!!!

Then we tried the Lime and Black Pepper chips, and the Sea Salt chips. (no pic of the sea salt chips)
They were both ok, but Chrissy is picky and did not care for either.

Next Up was the Honey Soy Chips, we both kept trying them to get used to them, I think it's an aquired taste for this one !
http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l52/alex655321_2006/care%20package/Picture022.jpg

We also tried the little candies called Cherry Ripe, and they had a few other flavors as well !
I liked them, but Chissy doesn't care for dark chocolate too much, I guess that explains why she is with me ! lol

Then we tried the Picnic bar ! One word...Awesome !!!

Opp's.....did not need this so I inserted a Random Down Under Picture for Effect, and your enjoyment :thumbs2:

[Alex655321]

Now watching a movie wouldn't be any fun without Movie Candy !

That is where Ripe Rasberries come in handy !
They are equivilent to our Swedish Fish !

After that we couldn't try anymore, and kept the Quatros and Tim Tams for another day !

We tried the quatros last weekend, I really liked the chocolate cookies with nutz while chissy didn't. (That was a switch !)

Then we were told to get some chocolate milk to use for the Tim Tams. You bite off the ends to use them as straws.

So, we got ourselves ready for this whole event by popping in some Pink Floyd "Relics" for effect, and got the supplies together !

But, these were not straws, but cookies so we dunked them in chocolate milk and we both enjoyed them !

This ends our Carepackage Experience !

All I can say is thanks so much for sharing with us some Awesome Treats ! We will both take great joy in returning the favor by sending a carepackage of our own to our friends Down Under that we would really enjoy meeting one day !
