Another choice Kiwiana tidbit

We wanted to share another bit of New Zealand with you all. This is a commercial that's been airing for a good while, and showcases the laid-back Kiwi lifestyle. Please note the costumes for the representatives of each country. Bismarck and God are classic.

Pineapple Lumps are a "lolly" coated in chocolate, the inner has a similar texture to circus peanuts. Kiwis love 'em, (but both Andy and I have quite a lot of experience with exceptional candy, so it's not at the top of our list).
The commercial that originally aired didn't include the "Sweet as, Dude!" But we think that they should have made it "Sweet as, Bro!"

Not that you'll believe us but, did you know that Andy is in the back row? He claps politely after "Diamonds!"

Also, I'm going to add a new file called "videos" with links to various commercials and fun Kiwi things. I'll try and post the commercial that I was in, look for: girl number 4 pulling the rope, with the yellow shirt. Look for me!

Having enjoyed some Pineapple Lumps, I endorse their deliciosity.

We'll look forward to the "Videos" file. I will certainly try harder to see "Girl Number 4" than I did to see Andy in the back row - but I do NOT disbelieve that he's there.

Give More Kiwiana!
