day 2 in south africa grocery edition (as a canadian)
the menu items at dons 👀
the sushi at checkers is so perfectly packaged and is at a good price
some grocery stores and gas stations have krispy kreme??
so they don't have cheetos. they have "cheas naks"
so instead of "ketchup chips" it's "tomato flavoured" ..not sure if this is the same thing
their cream soda... is GREEN (not pink??)
they have "long life milk" it's liquid & doesn't need to be refrigerated
oreos are all packaged in tubes and not plastic containers ..
this is a yum white & milk choco flavour we don't have in canada!
