I mean, each individual marshmallow is pink or white. You can't buy packs any other way, there are no all-white packs. They simply don't exist. And furthermore, Australians have no clue that anyone else might buy them differently. It's true, I heard a comedian make a joke about marshmallows on TV the other night and it relied heavily upon the pink-white premise.
They don't do s'mores here, or Rice Krispy treats either. (Hard to, since they're called Rice Bubbles here.) I was supposed to go to an international lunch the other day and take something American. My American friend who's been here longer immediately recommended Rice Krispy treats -- such a novelty!
The texture in marshmallows isn't quite on here, either. It's very subtle, but any American would call the Aussie marshmallow bluff. It's hard to describe, but they're a bit smaller and a bit ... chalkier on the outside. And maybe a little heavier? You'll have to try one -- I recommend the whites.
