I read the ingredients on the Peters Original Vanilla once after I noticed that it was significantly softer after they changed the recipe a few years back.
The ice cream is only creamy and easy to scoop because they’ve used propylene glycol to soften the mixture.
Plus they use ingredients that allow them to aerate the mixture more so that they can use less dairy products.
It came out weeks ago anyway but I discovered it today. Apparently it was “Exclusively in Chemist Warehouse” but I bought one in Woolworths today. Money from sales goes towards men’s health causes.
Is this support of Movember yet another attempt by Unilever to reposition the Lynx brand away from the “teenage boy going through puberty” market the product is so associated with? I can’t imagine any male capable of growing substantial facial hair going near the stuff considering the smell of it makes women think the wearer is desperate for his first kiss and still lives at home with mummy.
I’ll stick with the Old Spice as I prefer to smell like a man and not a teenager. It seems to have done the trick for my father and grandfather. I’m on a horse.
Another dairy brand has gone overseas. Earlier this week WA dairy company Brownes was sold to a consortium led by Chinese dairy giant Shanghai Ground Food Tech by current owner Archer Capital.
If Canada’s Saputo is successful in buying Murray Goulburn next year, that means almost all of Australia’s major dairy brands will be foreign owned. Is this what we really want?
At my local Woolworths all of the Dairylea sliced cheese has been replaced with the new Kraft sliced cheese, with only the Dairylea Burger Slices available but they are a clearance item. Bega must feel dudded to have purchased a cheese brand only to see supermarkets dumping it four months later.
Expect lots of disappointment about prices and range compared to the US/Global Amazon, especially with the way the media has hyped it up as “just around the corner” for literally years.
