These guys have a veritable treasure trove of Libby's canned pumpkin on the bottom shelf in the…read moreback. This discovery saved my toosh for Thanksgiving this year because USA Foods in Moorabbin screwed up my order and shorted me my canned pumpkin and I didn't realize it until the last minute. So, hooray for these guys! They made it possible for us to have traditional American pumpkin pie at our Aussie thanksgiving :) And now I have another can for Christmas, too! As for the other stuff they offer here, seemed like a bunch of junky sugary American cereals, sodas, and candies. And uniquely American things too, like graham crackers. I want to go back and peruse their sauces and stuff more closely and see if they have any Cajun stuff too, but what I saw briefly in my quick frenzied quest for canned pumpkin led me to believe it's mostly junk food here. Which is totally acceptable -- I just hope Australians don't judge us Americans based on the stuff they sell here, ha! We don't all eat like we're one snack away from diabetes, I swear. Price-wise, this place seemed comparable to or cheaper than USA Foods. It's a lot smaller, though -- really just a hole-in-the-wall. Honestly, I prefer Prahran Convenience for cheap imported foods from the U.S. and elsewhere, but this place is a bit more U.S.-focused than Prahran Convenience so if you're looking for a distinctly American product, you might want to try here first.

This place is seriously amazing. Like an old-school lolly store, it's all self service making it…read moreextremely difficult to limit yourself to just a few scoops of multi-coloured candy. Most importantly, there is an extremely impressive range of confectionary on offer. The rainbow bright interior displays row after row of delicious sweets. Stocking products from both Australia and abroad, here you'll find an impressive array of hard to find sweets. From the US you'll find Reese's Peanut Buttercups, Hershey's chocolate bars, Big Red gum or Charleston Chews, Sugar Station has your guaranteed supply. Twizzler's, Jolly Ranchers, Razzel's and Peanut Butter M&Ms. There's even an extensive array of Ducth licorice with options such as Buttons, Cats, Coins, Triple Salted and Salmiak Rocks. Personally, I come here for my weekly Warhead fix. Whatever you want, they'll have it here.

Watching a movie eating those makes the experience at least 68% more fun. They also have some really crazy stuff from America which gives me diabetes just looking at them, like Ice Cream Sundae PopTarts for $11 a box. For the peckish Brits, Terry's Choco Orange and wine gums out the wazoo along with some savoury snacks like Hula Hoops and Quavers are on the shelves. If you're going to stock up on Aussie faves, you can probably find it cheaper elsewhere. But for the special and international sucrose seekers, this is your heaven.

The overall effect is very overwhelming, so if you are looking for something specific, it's good practice to ask. The general idea is that you grab a little carry box and scoop, and go nuts filling it with an assortment of sweets. Nearly every loose sweet has the same cost, so you can mix and match. (Jelly Bellys are priced differently, but the signs will alert you not to mix them in...) Apart from the "loose lollies" there are countless packaged sweets and chocolate bars and quick and easy gift boxes too (My birthday is in October thanks...) You can select from a world of sweets - from the UK (try their version of Cadbury chocolate), Holland (Dutch chalk yum!), USA (Reeces Pieces, anyone?) and oh, heaps of others, go have a look! If you are diabetic or gluten free, give them a try as they have candy suitable for you. Yes even gluten free gummi candy! Staff are fast and friendly and you'll leave with a lighter wallet and feeling about 12 years old. Delightful!

So the justification for the visit was to get some lollies to eat during the film. It is hardly an old fashioned lolly shop, as its name would imply. It is more of an international candy store, full of all kinds of visually delightful sweets and all kind of toys that are some how related to lollies. There is an amazingly, extensive range packed into this small shop. There are American and English soft drinks in the fridge. One reason that C likes the shop is that it allows her to try the stuff that her Facebook friends in America write about.
