Australian Lamb releases annual summer ad in an effort to curb the bizarre world of the online comment section

Australian Lamb is on a mission to ensure Aussies “get out of the comments and into the cutlets” this summer, with the return of its annual summer ad ahead of Australia Day.

The ad takes aim at the online comment section by using “100 per cent real comments” written by Aussies throughout the year to highlight the absurdity of the internet.

A clearly AI image of Kochie even makes an appearance in the ad highlighting the absurdity of the internet.

What the hell has happened to his hands? Did the AI mean to disfigure them?

I’ve noticed that about a lot of AI images.

Odd looking hands. Thumbs nearly as long as the index finger. Some with 5 or 6 fingers. Seems AI hasn’t learnt to count yet!

Not to mention misspelt words, weird words added for no apparent reason that sounds like gibberish (or you after a big night :rofl:)

An interesting review of vanilla ice creams on the market.

At the bottom of the list is Street’s Blue Ribbon. We’ve discussed the fact that they can’t even market it as “ice cream” because there isn’t actually enough real cream and milk. But this also reveals that it’s not made from “real vanilla bean” either.

Meh. Streets healthy brand French vanilla is the goer.

Value for money iced confection/faux ice cream you can’t go past the little fellas from YUKIMI MOCHI.

There was a fish shaped ice cream with a bean paste sandwich that was really good. I’ve not been able to find it in ages.

To be fair - Streets reveal there is no actual vanilla in Blue Ribbon Ice Cream on the ingredients label on each tub. Interestingly, a Maccas vanilla shake does include real vanilla, the question is how much? I imagine it would be miniscule.

The Guardian did a taste test on vanilla ice cream last year, with rather different results. Australian supermarket vanilla ice-cream taste test: the best tub is from Aldi (so is the worst) | Australian food and drink | The Guardian

Good Food ranked Blue Ribbon last and the Guardian rated it best value.

I love the Bulla Vanilla Ice Cream and so did SMH / Good Food, The Guardian less so.

Even though Australians are not known for making decent icecream, an Australian, James Harrison, is credited with inventing the mechanical refrigeration process that allows ice cream to be made on a large scale.

Nestle has confirmed the KitKat 4 Finger bar will become three grams smaller, going from 45 grams to 42 grams.

“We have made a $30 million investment in new technology at our KitKat factory in Campbellfield (in Melbourne’s north), which is a testament to our ongoing commitment to local manufacturing,” the spokesperson said.

“The new technology will allow us to create more flavours and fillings, textures, and tastes, and will give the iconic KitKat wafer a consistently crispier ‘snap’.

“Part of the upgrade includes a slight change to our wafer size as the new technology at our factory is now compatible with a different size wafer mould.”

Customers will now be able to find the iconic treat in both the refrigerated aisle and the biscuit aisle.
