O.o

Apparently they still make Boost bars! (And apparently also call them Moro bars.) I had been told that they no longer exist. Wikipedia says they still do. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boost_%28candy%29 The blue-wrapper biscuit variety is the sort I like. I got thorougly addicted to them while in Ireland, I had several dozen in my suitcase when I flew back, but of course even several dozen couldn't last me more than a few months, and that was in 2001. I haven't had one since. If anybody reading this can find a way to convey one to me from the UK and/or New Zealand (should the New Zealand version of them prove to involve biscuit) I would love you forever!

"Charged with glucose." What an odd marketing slogan!

Your other option might be to order online:

These folks say their International shipping costs (while not quoted directly) are 50% cheaper than British folks can ship them to you for.

Well whaddya know, I might have an even better solution! This is Victoria, after all...

Mind emailing me your new home address (I never did get it after you moved out of that flea-ridden apartment)? Send to landrym at shaw dot ca :)

Their shipping costs may be lower, but they're charging thirty pence more for a bar than I'd expect to pay for one.

Oh, they definitely exist. I see them all the time.
Curiously, I've never actually eaten one.

You should! They're good! I rhyme!

Would you like one, my dear?

A choccie for a dwaggin would seem, if not a fair trade, then at least a token of my appreciaton. :)

Well, it seems I'm being sent some. But perhaps I shall hit you up when the first batch runs out.
