    yer i was well amazed wen i foudn that a couple years ago, clearly i had to buy some stuff from there just for the novelty, i even bought a lipsmacker lip balm there once, wicked!

    i also miss chips ahoy!!! their multicoloured rainbow cookies were damn good

    and i miss the huge tubs of ice cream and also i miss THE BEAST!!!! for those of u who aint in the states yet, im talking about Milwaukee best........ cheap beer but great for bonging and actually it wasnt too bad for just drinkin as normal! they even do a light version with less carbs, cos as ur gonan find out, even tho everyone in huge in that country, they are obsessed with not eating carbs, or advertising this kinda diet anyway!

    it was sooooo cheap too! that and "mikes hard lemonade" which was like smirnoff ices here and they say its a "malt beverage" but its not its like a breezer or smirnoff ice, lovely!!!!

    I'm glad we don't have vending machines cause I always bought some candy on the way to work..

    BOMA was the best restaurant on property!! Together with Ohana!!

    i actually remember a drink that i miss from the states....

    it was like called v20 or something and it was fruit drink, they did vegetable drinks in it too and u can get them over here in the uk but in the states they did these big bottles of fruit ones too and it was usually bright onrange or pink coloured drink but had loads of vitamins in it and was great chilled, specially wen u had a long day at work.....
