Get out that is delicious

[Squee]

Was? Still on store shelves…

[MichaelPower]

I tried it and thought it was disgusting.

[Squee]

Agreed. It tasted like melted ice cream gone wrong.
Still frustrated that it replaced Lite Iced Coffee Chill on Coles shelves.

We reported on them last year:

They must think that the licenced tie-in must bring them more sales because they’ve had a a Black Forest and Choc Mint variety before (although the cream filling is green this time). They may have also had the Salted Caramel and Coconut & Lychee varieties too.

And earlier this year when new varieties appeared.

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. [image]

Couple of new items - Powerade Pineapple Coconut, and Darrell Lea Popcorn Little Brittle, and Liquorice BBs.

[JBar]

It’s already been mentioned but here is what Cheezels, Cheese and Bacon look like.

[Bort]

I remember them being out years ago, although in the regular sized box.

@Bort

Liquorice BBs.

Looking forward to these! The Peanut Butter ones are fantastic.

More than 98% of Murray Goulburn shareholders (mostly farmers) today voted in favour of a takeover by Canadian firm Saputo. It’s a sad day for the Australian dairy industry because the most popular brands are now foreign owned.

Ruby Chocolate starting to be used by big brands in the UK.

A rosy future: Nestlé launches pink KitKats with ruby chocolate

A quick Bega V Kraft update.

Metcash (IGA) has accepted to stock the new Kraft Peanut Butter (owned by Kraft Heinz but made by Sanitarium.) Apparently Coles and/or Woolies have made a 6 year deal with Bega to not stock it.
The first wave was meant to hit Queensland next week but there are some supply issues.
It will return in its original packaging, Bega is still in a legal battle over the yellow lid design.

Metcash have also decided to no longer stock Bega Mac (EasyMac) and will instead stock the new Kraft Heinz Mac & Cheese. (The Kraft name is just to valuebale apparently)

Bega have already lost footing in its dairylea business with all major supermarkets choosing the new Kraft products over Dairylea.

Can’t believe people are choosing a name over flavour.

Can’t believe people are choosing a name over flavour.

I get stuff like cheese slices could taste different - but surely stuff like Mac and Cheese would be to a recipe that the main Kraft would have the rights to?

[DDN]

Bega own the recipes of all products they acquired from Mondelez. Kraft Heinz just own the Kraft name.
