So much for Lynx wanting to change their image.

There’s no way they would be able to take the brand upmarket and compete with the big boys.

They should just know their place and try launching a completely different product to try and capture some of the upmarket customers.

Oh wow, that Lynx Chocolate smell still lingers in my nostrils after being gassed with it in the change rooms at my high school.

Plus I think there’s a bit of an issue in that Lynx is a fragrance - perfume in a can. It doesn’t have any antiperspirant in it.

From memory there’s a fragrance range (black cans) and a antiperspirant range with the same scents (white cans).

…which makes me wonder why the fragrance range is necessary.

Well, I guess the difference is that the antiperspirant has some fragrance but also has the chemicals to prevent sweating so you use it in your armpits. But use it anywhere else and it will dry out your skin.

The Body Spray only has fragrance, so it can be sprayed all over. But keep it off your nether regions…unless you enjoy the burning sensation. :wink:

Three new flavours in the Tim Tam / Gelato Messina collaboration.

The blue colour on the packs only appears when you put them in the fridge.

Fonterra has moved it’s Australian office from Mount Waverley (Melbourne’s South-East) to Richmond (inner-city), as per the back of a tub of Western Star butter I noticed today.

Website still showing incorrect info.

And if it wasn’t already known, Parmalat now make Ski Yoghurt (and not Fonterra), still based at the same VIC factory.

I’m now intrigued, what made you check the butter tub for changes?

So did the factory location provide any additional nutrition?

CCA is starting to faze out COKE Zero. They’ll stay in 1.25l and 24pks for a while, with the 4pk glasses, 8pk mini cans and 10pk cans being the first to go.

I feel this is a bad marketing move.

Coke Zero sales are still huge and Coke No Sugar sales are tiny in comparison.

Surprised they’re still doing these.
Without fail every limited edition version that gets produced by this collab ends up getting cleared out for next to nothing by places like NQR which would indicate they never sell as many as they expect.

At least these flavours aren’t fruity like the most recent limited editions.

Cadbury have released Caramilk chocolate blocks in Australia. It was released last year in New Zealand.

It’s a caramelised white chocolate. First released here in the early to mid 90s from memory.

It seemed to be part of the regular range for a long time.

I thought it was around earlier than the 90s so googled it. An interesting thing I discovered is that the Caramilk name is used in other countries for what we call Caramello.

It may well have been, but I only recalled it being out for a relatively short time. I think the closest equivalent I’ve found overseas is Caramac.

I can also remember a Strawberry/White combo block which looked fluorescent pink. :laughing:

There may have even been peppermint and orange versions too.

Triple decker? I only remembered the strawberry one but google tells me that there were mint and caramel variants too

Actually, I think they may have had strawberries and Dream?
