Had swedish fish for the first time the other day as well as twizzlers. My guys. My USA friends.

I'm sorry. We threw them in the bin 😅

They taste fake and plastic and cardboardy and my mum, a lolly fiend who'll eat a whole bag in one sitting if you don't take the bag away from her, wouldn't eat more than one of either (think she ate half a twizzler).

I think the big difference is Aussie lollies tend to use more natural flavourings and ingredients (there's been a big push for it I think the last 10 years). The gummies we get are usually much softer and smoother textured and don't taste like medication, unless maybe you're buying the black and gold cheap stuff.

Real life interaction I had with a friend that reminded me that damn I really do have the tism.

Me: Hey wanna know something interesting?

Friend: Sure

Me: Well along with stobie poles, yo-yo biscuits were also invented in South Australia, specifically Adelaide. And they're now owned and distributed by Arnott's due to them buying out Menz & Co Confectionery after partnering with them in 1964.

Friend: Huh, that's interesting. Where'd you find that out?

Me: Well I was eating a malt o milk Arnott's biscuit and it tasted really good so I got the urge to look it up on Wikipedia and find more information on the nature and type of the biscuit so I could potentially find similarly tasty biscuits. But it didn't have it's own dedicated Wikipedia page so I ended up reading through the Arnott's page and their list of all products.

Friend: You know when most people eat something they like their first thought isn't 'I should look this up on Wikipedia'

Me: Oh. Right.

The Daily Tulip

The Daily Tulip – News From Around The World

Thursday 18th January 2018

Good Morning Gentle Reader…. Still very cold, but no complaints as it’s dry, Bella is in the rudest of health, as I put my jacket on she is standing at the door eager to go explore with me… She’s just had her 3rd birthday, amazing how fast time passes, seems like only yesterday, when we picked her up, a little 3 kilo bundle of Labrador that seemingly turned into a 43 kilo amazingly beautiful female Lab overnight… Bella is my constant companion, following me everywhere I go, if I have to get bread, she comes with me, petrol for the car, she’s there, typing the Tulip of Thistle, she’s laying on the floor with her head on my foot… and when it comes to lunch, trust me she’s right there….

MARKS & SPENCER IN ENGLAND TO STOP SELLING 'CAULIFLOWER STEAK'…. Marks and Spencer says it will stop selling its "cauliflower steak" after shoppers mocked the product. The veggie steak - two slices of cauliflower and a lemon and herb drizzle - was being sold for £2. Customers argued a whole cauliflower could be bought for £1 in its shops and raised concerns about excess packaging. An M&S spokeswoman said: "We work hard to create quick and convenient meals for customers; however on this occasion we didn't get it right." Shoppers have also been questioning the plastic wrapping on a coconut sold by Sainsbury's. The cauliflower steak was part of the new M&S' Veggie range and after an introductory offer, which reduced the price by 20%, it would have cost £2.50.

MIKHAIL POPKOV, RUSSIAN EX-COP, ON TRIAL FOR 59 MURDERS…. A former Russian policeman who was convicted of killing 22 women has gone on trial in the Siberian city of Irkutsk for dozens of other murders. Mikhail Popkov, 53, has confessed to 59 additional murders between 1992 and 2010, Interfax news agency reports. If convicted, that would make him Russia's most prolific serial killer in recent history. He has been dubbed "the werewolf" and the "Angarsk maniac" by Russian media. Popkov is serving a life sentence after being convicted in 2015 of raping and killing 22 women, and attempting to murder two more.

BOTSWANA SHUTS 'MIRACLE' PASTOR SHEPHERD BUSHIRI'S CHURCH…. Botswana has shut down the church of a controversial Malawian self-styled prophet, who claimed to walk on air. The government confirmed the closure of Shepherd Bushiri's Enlightened Christian Gathering Church (ECG) in Gaborone, reportedly due to concerns over so-called "miracle money". Malawi24 reports that the church has appealed against the decision, taken less than a year after he was in effect banned from entering the country. He had been due to attend a conference. However, Botswana minister Edwin Batshu announced in April 2017 that Mr Bushiri - who now lives in South Africa - would need a visa to enter, despite Malawians not usually needing one, according to AllAfrica.com.

AUSTRALIA'S ICONIC VIOLET CRUMBLE CHOCOLATE BACK IN LOCAL OWNERSHIP…. Australia's version of the Crunchie bar, Violet Crumble, has been sold by Swiss giant Nestle to an Australian-owned firm. Adelaide chocolate-maker Robern Menz bought the iconic local favourite for an undisclosed sum. While its honeycomb centre makes it similar to the better-known Crunchie, Violet Crumble is the older sweet. Cadbury's Crunchie dates back to about 1929, while the Violet Crumble bar was first produced in 1913. The sale not only brings the confectionery back under Australian ownership, but also returns it to South Australia, where it was produced by manufacturer Rowntree Hoadley until the mid 1980s.

A NATION OF BOOZERS: THE DRINKING OF KIWIS OVER 50 IS GETTING WORSE…. New Zealanders 50 and over are drinking more excessively and frequently than adults in other countries. A recently released report shows New Zealand has the second highest proportion of 50-plus drinkers, compared with eight other countries – something that came as no surprise to one of the researchers. Massey University researcher Andy Towers, who worked on the study that found England to have the biggest boozers, said many New Zealanders aged 50-plus were heavy drinkers, as people adopted the English culture of excessive drinking. "I'm not surprised at all. We know from European studies that people in the United Kingdom drink a lot. We have imported the United Kingdom's drinking culture," the Manawatū-based researcher said. The report, commissioned by the Health Promotion Agency, analysed data from 3200 Kiwis and more than 62,000 similarly aged adults from United States, South Africa, China, Mexico, Ghana, India, Russia and England. Eighty-three per cent of New Zealanders indicated they drank alcohol at least once a year – the second highest after England at 87 per cent. India was the lowest at 16 per cent. The report also showed 18 per cent of Kiwi adults regularly drink heavily. Although China and South Africa ranked higher, at 31 per cent and 23 per cent, respectively, New Zealanders still had a high percentage of heavy drinkers, Towers said. Heavy drinkers are identified as having five or more drinks for men and three or more for women in one sitting.

Well Gentle Reader I hope you enjoyed our look at the news from around the world this, Thursday morning… …

Our Tulip today gives a glimpse into the heart…..

A Sincere Thank You for your company and Thank You for your likes and comments I love them and always try to reply, so please keep them coming, it's always good fun, As is my custom, I will go and get myself another mug of "Colombian" Coffee and wish you a safe Thursday 18th January 2018 from my home on the southern coast of Spain, where the blue waters of the Alboran Sea washes the coast of Africa and Europe and the smell of the night blooming Jasmine and Honeysuckle fills the air…and a crazy old guy and his dog Bella go out for a walk at 4:00 am…on the streets of Estepona…

All good stuff....But remember it’s a dangerous world we live in

Be safe out there…
