I've tried all four, and I prefer the Caesar Salad flavour- mainly because it's the one that doesn't taste like an existing flavour that's been jazzed up a little.

Just saw them at my local Foodland at Surrey Downs! Do they come in the small or large packets?
First, I tried the buttered popcorn flavour! It tasted just like the real thing!
There were even flavours for the 2006 Commonwealth Games!

Shane Warne to host Top Gear:

SHANE Warne has carved a new career as a cricket commentator and poker player but now is rumoured to be the next host of revheads' TV favourite, Top Gear.
Warne, whose stable of luxury cars includes a head-turning black Lamborghini Superleggera, is set to front a new series with Jeremy Clarkson.
He is believed to be hosting six episodes of the popular motoring show.
In a TV coup Channel Nine is believed to have snared the rights to the motoring franchise from SBS.
Nine and SBS were both believed to have been in discussions with BBC Worldwide, which owns the rights to the motoring show fronted by Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May.
First-run episodes of Top Gear regularly top one million viewers on SBS.
Nine has confirmed that it has held discussions with Warne to host Top Gear Australia.
No formal agreement has yet been signed, but he is their pick to host the series.
A Nine source says an agreement is likely to be completed within days.
Channel Nine would not confirm any plans for Top Gear.
No deal has been signed, however a Nine source said an agreement was likely to be completed within days.
Nine CEO David Gyngell has been chasing the rights to Top Gear for eight months and recently spent time in London to lock down a deal.
The role would mark the first TV presenting gig for Warne - who has previously worked in cricket commentating roles.
Warne's collection of luxury cars started in 1996 when he bought a Ferrari 355 Spider.
He has since bought another Ferrari – a 360 Spider in titanium – two Mercedes four-wheel-drives, two BMWs, and a Holden VK Commodore.
But it hasn't all been smooth sailing for Warne, who made headlines last year when he crashed his Mercedes into a tram.
The Aussie version has had two seasons on SBS, fronted by Steve Pizzati, Warren Brown and this year joined by James Morrison.

Eventually they'll realise that Top Gear = Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May.

A BUS driver has been sacked and is facing a criminal charge after he was seen urinating opposite a school while on the job.

Police caught the bus driver - who had been driving for just six weeks - outside the grounds of St Columba College, Andrews Farm, after witnesses reported seeing him relieving himself in view of the northern suburbs school about 10.30am on Thursday.

Police said the driver, from bus company SouthLink, was charged with urinating in a public place and offensive behaviour. He will face court .

It's understood he was urninating on a college-owned reserve across from the front gate.

SouthLink operations manager Daryll Conlon said the driver was sacked on Friday morning after an internal disciplinary investigation.

He said the driver's behaviour was "totally unacceptable".

"He's had a brain fade in the wrong place and at the wrong time," Mr Conlon said.

"Some people saw him, they called the police and the police became involved and charged him.

"There are certain standards they need to have to become a bus driver. If they don't meet or maintain that then they are no longer employable by us."

He said the driver would most likely be stripped of his driving accreditation pending the outcome of any court case, preventing him from working with another bus firm or driving a taxi.

The union representing bus drivers said the man's behaviour was unacceptable, but that its members were constantly having to urinate in bottles because of a lack of adequate public toilets.

Transport Workers Union SA branch secretary Alex Gallacher said longer bus routes and pressure to meet timetables was increasing the amount of time drivers were spending on the road without a toilet break.

"We have had a continual problem with the provision of toilet facilities on certain runs, to be quite frank," Mr Gallacher said.

"There have been women (drivers) caught on camera, basically caught short, and there is an ongoing problem with the provision of toilets."

Mr Conlon said the company provided drivers with a list of places they can stop to have a toilet break.

"There is no reason for the driver to do what this driver did."

Lost his job, accreditation, has to front court. Surely that's a bit harsh? What a strange world we live in.

Hmm... I didn't know that. I remember seeing a few while I went to NSW in 1999... Were they in other states?

COURTESY OF YAHOO!- SAN FRANCISCO
On Monday closed GeoCities, a free Web hosting service that it purchased for over three billion dollars at the height of the dot-com boom.
'We have enjoyed hosting websites created by Yahoo! users all over the world, and we're proud of the community you've built,' the California-based Internet pioneer said in a message at the GeoCities website, adding: 'However, we have decided to focus on helping our customers explore and build relationships online in other ways.'
Yahoo! said GeoCities would not be available after Monday and recommended GeoCities refugees set up new online homes at its paid Web hosting service, with an introductory offer of just five dollars for the first 12 months.
The closure of GeoCities comes a week after Yahoo! reported that aggressive cost-cutting helped it more than triple its net profit despite a 12-per cent decline in revenue in its third quarter.
Yahoo! said net profit soared more than 244 per cent in the quarter to US$186 million (S$260 million), or 13 cents per share, from US$54 million, or four cents per share, a year ago, easily surpassing analysts' forecasts.
The better-than-expected performance was due in large part to cost-cutting measures implemented by Carol Bartz since being named in January to replace Yahoo! co-founder Jerry Yang as chief executive. -- AFP
