YOWIES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7 little Yowies
So there was Mom at the grocery store  - she had gone to buy some packing boxes and was waiting in line to check out when she happened to glance at the candy display (you know - the ones that always try to tempt you while you wait !!!!) Well Mom suddenly did a double take and couldn't believe her eyes - right there in front of her was a box of YOWIES.

Now you are probably thinking - what the dog is a Yowie? Well they are something Mom to use to buy all the time when she lived back home in Australia - they are kind of like a chocolate egg (or a Kinder Surprise) with a little collectable inside. Mom picked one up to check it really was a Yowie and before you could blink - she grabbed the entire box!!!

Now Mom is a great believer in 'signs'  those little clues in life that tell us we are on the right path and she took finding these as a sign. Not only did she find the Yowies - she also noticed they are distributed here in the USA by a company in St Augustine, Florida - a town Mom loves and it is only half an hour from where we will be living and if that wasn't enough - the first one she opened had a wombat inside it!!! (They contain endangered animals from all over the world).

Oh - we should explain about the Yowie  - it is one of several names given to a mythical hominid creature reputed to live in the Australian wilderness. The creature has its roots in Aboriginal mythology. 
No fun Mom - we can't eat these!

  1. We burst out laughing at the caption... What the DOG is that!

    Mommy never saw these Wowies before, but she will keep a look out for them. She thinks it's neat there is a animal figurine inside them.

  12. That's fantastic. First of all, we love wombats! SHE used to send those to a sister in Virginia.....but there always seemed to be a Potato Cod in them. So she has the biggest collection of Potato Cod in the world.

  13. Wow, I thought that they couldn't sell Kinder Eggs in the US because the FDA wouldn't allow you to have something inedible hidden in food. We all think that is kind of funny here in Canada.

  16. We have never seen Yowies here, but Mom said she is going to look for them too. That wombat is kind of cute in an odd sort of way:)

  20. Definitely a sign! The world is so much smaller today and we can find things from all over, especially here we have diversity! Love Dolly
