I couldn't buy the Jello pistachio pudding in Australia and postage was too much . . . so I just had to wait til I visited a Walmart in Honolulu (that was tough)!! Anne

Neither Ann nor I have been able to buy any Golden Circle Sweet-Sour Sauce so I’m guessing it’s not on the market anymore. So this is another brand. The beetroot and sweet potato crisps were totally yum! Anne.
