    Thanks, was the foodstuffs listed as such in your shipping manifest, or was everything just labelled as kitchen utilities/appliances?

    Cinnamon chewing gum.

    You should be able to find that pretty easily in one of the American import shops in/around Central - it's much more of an American thing than a UK one anyway...

    You're probably right. Maybe try the US sweet shops around town (美國雜貨) or A&M

    Iherb?

    Sorry it was 10 years ago and I cannot recall. I think it might have been listed as "kitchen stuff" explicitly to avoid complications..... Where the packers told me there was stuff I could not take, I packed those boxes myself and gave them generic labels - the shipping co were not that fussed.

    I don't know about those. I have a personal LOVE of Twiglets, which you can get in HK, but the price differential is astounding. A packet that is 99p in the UK is about HKD60 here....

    I've seen Walkers Sensations a few times. I think at Great. Pricey as heck though.
