Oddly enough, when I was a seeing a shortage of 1.25L Coke No Sugar bottles a few weeks ago, I thought something was up… but supplies have been much better the last couple of weeks. Perhaps it’s been affecting different suppliers at different times?

Ridiculous. You can easy make out the JD on that can.

I once came home after school around 15 years ago, parched on a 35C day. I mentally rejoiced after opening the fridge door and seeing we had ice cold 2L Coke bottles in the fridge.

I opened that bottle and chugged. It was red wine. Dad had filled the damned bottle up with wine for whatever reason. I spat that shit out and rinsed my mouth. Absolutely not what I wanted to be drinking to quench my thirst.

Not sure if this is the right thread to post this.

National Australia Bank has announced it will close its Diners Club credit card business on April 15. Diners Club personal cards became void on January 31.

From the middle of next month, Diners Club will no longer accept corporate account cards, with accounts closing automatically on April 15 for those with no reward points.

The closure date will be July 30 for customers with reward points and reward claims for purchases made until April 15 will be honoured up to November 30.

NAB’s ‘brutal decision’. :rofl:

Give me a break. Diners died a long time ago.

Trusted Brands

Both major supermarkets have fallen among trusted brands, with Woolworths (2nd) slipping one place and Coles (5th) two places. ALDI (3rd), Kmart (4th) and Bunnings (1st) each rose by one place.

Within the top 20, Bendigo Bank (15th) was the only brand to move up two spots, widening the gap against ING (18th) and Commonwealth Bank (19th). The ABC (17th) dropped two rankings and QBE (128th) and SBS (93rd) dropped 26 and 23 places respectively.

Distrusted Brands

Telecommunications company Optus remains the most distrusted brand in Australia. It is followed by social media giant (and former and long-standing most distrusted brand) Facebook/Meta, embattled airline Qantas, private health insurer Medibank and media giant News Corp. All four have faced significant scandals in recent years including content policies and moderation, widespread data breaches and allegations of profiteering.

In positive news, technology companies Google (20th) Huawei (60th), and Uber (39th) improved their positions by 7, 11 and 8 places respectively. Qantas (3rd) is showing signs of recovery despite deep distrust.

How did Media Spy not make the list of the most trusted brands?!

Surely the undisputed pinnacle of media analysis in the nation should have been a shoo-in?!

Any survey that puts Woolies and Coles in the top 5 is clearly flawed.

Only if they survey the Daily Mail.
