We’ve all figured that bhp billiton one out.

I think @TelevisionAU was talking abput the oldest one that was posted by @NewsWeary from the 1970s which is symbol in a circle. It’s a bit difficult to work out in that photo which is probably a still from a TV commercial.

I can’t believe I saw this ad on morning television today and I can’t believe this is an actual product. The product is called V.I.Poo. :joy:

Now I see the newspapers have picked up on it.

Not sure how well these will go. Noticed a lot of the Nestle & Allens ice cream collabs have been reduced to clear at Coles in the last 6 months

Quite an interesting read. I have noticed Dairylea and Good Nut, but never really thought about it that much. IMO I think Bega should slap its name on everything it owns.

I was speaking to a Bega rep the other day (former Mondelez Rep) and said that Bega is possibly looking into entering the sauce market, he believes it might be by acquiring Fountain Sauces.

Not enough caffeine in Coke. They need to add coffee.

But at least it’s the healthy choice with 0% sugar.

I think water is the healthy choice.

I’m sure those chemicals that make it taste like sugar are really “healthy”.

About time we got a coffee coke/pepsi variant in Australia.
Interested to see if the flavour is improved or not.

Seriously? I’ve never even heard of a coffee flavoured cola? Where has this been sold before?

I don’t believe Coke have any variants still selling in any markets globally. From Wikipedia:

Coca-Cola BlāK was a coffee-flavored soft drink introduced by Coca-Cola in 2006 and discontinued in 2008.

Pepsi has also had a bunch of variations test marketed in various countries over the years.

These articles pop up every now and then - a new one today - but this slightly older list is better.

Mmm. Delightful. :wink:

It’s out there today.

Saw an ad for “VIP” which has an almost identical billboard at one point to Bunnings’ “we’ll beat it by 10%”.

Expect Wesfarmers to announce a lawsuit :wink:
