Dear [my name here]

Thank you for your E-mail inquiring into the availability of Butterfinger which is sold in the U.S.A.
Unfortunately, this product is not available in Australia, our research has shown a very small market for this type of product.
If you are interested in purchasing the product, may we suggest you visit www.candywarehouse.com where you are able to purchase the product on line.
We are sure you will find our wide range of chocolate bars in Australia to your liking, and thank you once again for contacting this office.

Yours sincerely,
[customer services boob for Nestle]

GO ON, PEOPLE, START THE REVOLUTION! DEMAND BUTTERFINGERS BE BROUGHT OUT IN AUSTRALIA! Show them that there *is* a market here!

This is a very serious issue. I wouldn't be surprised if Mark Latham tackled it as his next election issue.

What's a butterfinger?

Re:

It's a chocolate bar they sell in the US. It's basically compressed peanut butter (or something like that), covered in chocolate. It's salty and peanutty and crispy and chocolaty and so very, very yummy.

!!! Dude! Butterfingers! I used to eat those when I lived in Canada - I'd completely forgotten about them. :D You know what they SHOULD bring here (as well as Butterfingers, of course)? Coffee Crisp. It's like a giant Kit Kat with slightly less chocolate, thicker, lighter wafer and the taste of coffee mixed in. So. Good. (*drools like Homer Simpson*) :P

Come! Join our revolution! Add your voice to the wossname! Contact Nestle! We won't stop until they accede to our demands!

I probably wouldn't enjoy the Coffee Crisp, as I don't like coffee, but I bet a whole lot of my friends would like it.

Haha... can't believe you complained at the nestle website. Well i can believe it. Have you tried the mrs fields peanut butter brownies? Mmm... very good, i'll bring you home some.
(just tell latham that butterfingers have had it tough and are little aussie battlers. I'm sure he'd listen)

Re:

Shut up! It's a very important issue!

Yes I have, and omg they are so good. You must bring home.

*snerks* So true. Unless he found out they weren't Australian... and then he'd probably put them in a holding facility.

Don't partiiiiiiiicularly want to import food just for myself.

Hell, i know that one present I got had to be re-packaged by customs cause the box that it came in was a food box (like the cartons you get packs of food in). I know you had problems sending stuff cause it was food. Sure I wanna risk it not getting it here.

Also, had to cry to customs to avoid paying $150+ to let in a present into the country cause it had a scone (sorry "biscuit") mix in it.

I'll be emailing them to bring them out here!
