This place really isn't "in" Oz, but I thought I'd add it to the list because they do ship here. http://www.cravingamerica.com |

Looking for Dr. Pepper, A&W, Pop Tarts, Cheesy Bites with Napoli, Chili Cheese Fries, Kool-Aid, and the best American-style Burgers in Melbourne? Go to Misty's Diner! Located in the trendy inner-city suburb of Prahran a short stroll from Prahrain Railway Station, Misty's offers all your favourite Americian dishes such as California Club, Philly Steak, and French Dip sandwiches, as well as Chili Dogs and Corn Dogs! (And not a "red skin" dog in sight!) Misty's also offers American treats such as Reese's, Hersheys, Tootsie Rolls, and Fire Balls! A great taste of the good ol' US of A right here in Australia! |

If you're in the Wollongong area the Lolly Shack in Albion Park carries a small selection of American candies (average price: $3.80 for a candy bar) as well as A&W, Dr Pepper, and Cherry Coke. They have a bunch of other candies and good stuff, and while I certainly wouldn't plan on grocery shopping there, they're great for a quick American Pick-Me-Up. |

Two places in Sydney: 1. Norton St. Grocer in Bondi Junction mall next to Coles-- I just put a picture on my blog of the things I bought there (see link below)-- they had Goldfish Crackers!! They said they had just gotten them in-- probably only exciting to those of us with kids. 2. Grandma Moses in Rose Bay-- they had Graham Crackers and a lot of other stuff- including good fresh bagels. |

Some American candy can be found at the candy store in Flinders St. Station. I think the name is Sugar Fix. Hershy bars, milk duds, Reeces, etc. Misty's Diner on High St. in Prahran also sells American candies and Pop tarts as well as some sodas and candy corn for Halloween. (I never liked candy corn but it was neat to see it this time of year). |

The candy store in Flinders St. Station is actually called Sugar Station. |

I live north of Adelaide, and have found usafood.com.au to be absolutely fantastic. They have a wide range of products that is ever increasing. They have fast shipping times, and I find their pricing reasonable, especially when you can't get it anywhere else. I have used them frequently over the past couple of years, and would highly recommend them. |

My favourite place to get all American candy, like candy corn, lilac candy, red hots, pez, hershey bars, butter fingers and peanut butter cups, grape gum, candy and soda. Also real American root beer "Dads" and other popular US brands also Dr Pepper, Cherry Coke also all favorite Halloween candy. Is downstairs in Myers food court Pitt Street Mall in Sydney. Also you can get, real American corn chips (not the Doretos in the green pack) at all Duffy Brothers grocery stores. |

Soft Pretzels- When I first moved to Oz in 2000 they tried to make soft pretzels at the Mrs Fields cookies shop in Warrangah Mall. They didn't know what they were doing and often I would stop by and try to give them some advice. I don't think it worked out but the good news is the cookies sold. I think back to those days and I laugh because they didn't even sell refried beans in the market at the time and now they have a small mexican section. They also used to have a taco bell in sydney but I don't think it is there anymore. |

They have big pretzels (presumably soft) at Löwenbräu at The Rocks in Sydney. Also really, really good German food and a beer menu that made me swoon. |

There's a little grocery on Tennyson in Elwood (eastern suburbs of Melbourne) that has every Reece's product I've heard of and some I haven't in front of the counter. Made my first trip to USA foods today when I realized I was running short on Bisquick (can't have birthdays without strawberry shortcake in my house!) and piced up some Franks Red Hot and sugar free Jello pudding mixes too. Can't wait for the pudding! Yum!! |

Darwin: Nightcliff Supermarket 28 Progress Dr Nightcliff NT Ph: 08 8948 0979 I have been in there a few times but only to grab something specific. I looked around today and they have pop tarts sold in 2pks $3.49, Reese's Peanut Butter cups $2.59, Hershey Bars, dried beans, and a few other things that have slipped my mind. I was also told by an Aussie that Civic Video carried american junk food:) will update when i check it out what they have! Edited by staylor8383, Jul 10 2010, 09:20:27 PM.
