I saw this flavour in Woolies today. Cheese and Carzmelised Onion. Anyone tried it yet? Is it sweet or savoury?

Has anyone here ordered from those fresh food delivery services - ie; HelloFresh, Dinnerly, etc? If so, do you recommend them? Are there Pros and Cons? Cheaper than buying from the Supermarket?
Ive done a freebie of HelloFresh. It was ok, but the recipes weren’t anything of note for me. Things I could easily do by buying the ingredients myself. Didn’t need a kit and a recipe card to help me if that makes sense.
I guess they are good if you aren’t disciplined in meal prepping or planning for your week ahead etc.
Haven’t ordered but when you take away the first order freebies / promos and the like, it is outrageously overpriced compared to supermarket shopping. Also lots of packaging waste despite all these businesses going on and on about how sustainable they are.
As per the post above though, if you’re the type of person that doesn’t have a rotating list of things in your mind to cook / make or otherwise have limited experience it’s probably worth doing it a few times to get your skills up, then just replicating it again with your own grocery shopping for those dishes you particularly enjoyed.

I’ve been doing dinnerly for a bit, and it’s actually very good. About $75 a week for 5 meals. Lots of variety and just takes the guess work of what to cook each night.

Officeworks has a new symbol for Social Media usage:
ow that hurt
They’ve also decided to go for a deeper blue, somewhat reminiscent of the pre-2000s logo:

Ow? I don’t know if that’s a good branding idea.

It’s OW as in OUCH.

Yes I thought it sounded a touch painful.
It is a total rebrand. Chadstone was the first to be refurbished with the new look and feel, with Box Hill store being the second.

Oh, so there is more to it! I had a feeling that was the case given the darker blue and new typeface (the ‘w’ looks slightly different). Wasn’t sure if it was a new logo, as both the website and recent YouTube contain the current logo on dark blue:
I’d suggest that they’re probably treating it in a similar way to the ongoing Liquorland rebrand over at Coles Group, where the new concept stores are the only ones that get the full new logo treatment, at least for now.

Yes my local Liquorland (Geelong West) is the only one that I know of in the Geelong area to be rebranded, was last year I think so I am surprised that no more around here have been rebranded yet
Having the ‘ow’ acronym double as a pattern for brand applications is a creative idea, although I can’t help reading it as ow ow ow ow, wow wow wow wow, or owo owo owo owo.

OW as a brand or a logo just doesn’t quite work, to be honest.

It is an odd acronym, but paired with the darker blue and the red segmented line inbetween the ‘o’ and ‘w’, I feel it’s has some recognisable elements for people to connect the dots to Officeworks. It works well for Social, App, and Website usage, all of which have been updated to the new symbol, similar to the Woolworths abstract ‘W’ symbol. They are also using it standalone as well:
I also like the usages of the red segmented line as a seperate branding element:

I wouldn’t like o | w as the primary logo, but the secondary way they seem to be using it is fine.
OW is a standard acronym / abbreviation for the business in the general population, at least when typing / writing.

It’s been spotted at Woolworths so far.

Didn’t people stop buying these because they shifted production to China and people were wary of food produced there after some dodgy food production processes were revealed?
