Licorice sticks ? All the time to disguise the smell of cigarettes from me ma. Used to take a few spring onions to chomp on after underage boozing sessions to fool her too. When my old man took me out for my "first official pint" on my eighteenth, when I got home ma asked me why I didn't smell of spring onions. Then she told me they accentuated the smell of booze. Can never fool your mother it seems.

I bought one of each earlier this year from a speciality sweet shop in a town in Victoria. Anybody mentioned comics Adventure, Wizard, Rover, Hotspur and Lion?
