These three plus Cinnamon Donut have been discontinued.

Three new Oak crossovers are coming though: Fantales, Peppermint Crisp, and Pineapples.

Here’s another product from the “What the hell?” file.

Corn chips with a lemon/lime zing seems like a reasonable concept, but I too was WTFing at the idea. I’m guessing they’ve only done it because of the gamer meme more than it being a flavour hit.

Nailed it.
This combination has been a meme since the late 90s / early 2000s.

I haven’t seen a packet of Mountain Dew Doritos in real life at all, still suspecting it’s a late April Fools joke.

Apparently only available at 7Eleven so far.

2 of these aren’t all that different from past flavours they’ve had (Choc Mint, Caramel), the Pineapples one is weird though.

Not sure they’re a surprise given I posted about them last week :thinking:

It’s Newscorp’s idea of a surprise. Also known as yesterday’s news. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

More than a year after Robern Menz announced it would bring Polly Waffle back into production, the chocolate will be fasttracked with a cash injection from the federal government designed to boost local manufacturing.

Cadbury has relaunched its Old Gold dark chocolate range with new packaging and new flavours: Caramel and a Cherry Ripe block is back in this range.

I prefer chocolate where sugar is not the dominant ingredient, so the only Old Gold I would buy is this one:

I tried the new Old Gold Cherry Ripe today but I didn’t like it much. It was like regular Old Gold with bits of Cherry and Coconut in it. Not much like Cherry Ripe at all. It might appeal to some Old Gold fans. Preferred the old Cherry Ripe block which was like an enlarged Cherry Ripe bar.

I felt because it wasn’t softish like a Cherry Ripe is is where it lacked.

Well, Cherry Ripe is almost entirely cherry filling enrobed in a thin layer of Old Gold. The proportions on that block is probably the complete opposite.
