A question for any Aussies - Skittles!?

Question

My friend's abroad in Australia, and I'm sending her a package. I'm pretty sure I remember her saying she was bummed that she couldn't find any Skittles (a kind of little fruity candy). Did I get this right? Are there no Skittles in Australia? Thanks a bunch for any help!

Answer 1

Yes we have skittles here...theres alot of lolly stores that have opened up in shopping centres that now cater sweets from all over the world.

Answer 2

sure you can get skittles in australia,in fact they have a carnival flavour ive never seen anywhere else

Answer 3

We've had skittles here for about 10 years. You can find them in any supermarket, cinema, newsagent, kiosk, or almost any place that sells lollies.

We have mini skittles, sour skittles and those bubble-gum skittles as well.

Plenty of skittles in Australia! =)

Answer 4

You can get skittles from the grocery store or gas station. Send her some Jolly Ranchers we can't get them and they're so good. Send her the skittles anyway, maybe she lives in a remote area.

Answer 5

Of course we have skittles! Your friend will be able to find them in most supermarkets. Also, you probably won't be able to send Skittles over because, being an island, we have very strict custom laws.

Answer 6

You can't send food to Australia without declaring it to customs, there are very, very strict laws. Sorry!

Answer 7

Skittles and candy like that would be allowed through customs, you'd have to declare it but they allow processed foods. We do have skittles though. Quite partial to them myself. They might not be in some very remote places because they choose not to stock them.

The things you can't send here would include fresh fruit things like meats, animal products, untreated wood products.

Basically anything that hasn't been processed and packaged to the extent that it couldnt' possibly carry in foreign diseases or pests is allowed.
