The totally off-topic thread

[Pushka]

I balked at the price of Tim Tams (seem to rise every time I'm over), $3.40 or thereabouts IIRC, fortunately Coles had them on special for $1.64 a pack :mrgreen: In fact, Twisties, Fantales, Freddo Frogs, Caramelo Koala's were all on special so that was good timing

On the weekend I saw someone who had loaded a trolley full of tim tims. All flavours.

.... an alcoholic!

And then you have those who take the whole Champagne bottle with them back to their seat....

....and some even drink straight from said bottle............

Does anyone particularly find that different Tim Tam flavours are not all they are cracked up to be?

Also, after eating many Tim Tams in a sitting, the overall lasting feeling in the mouth doesn't feel like sweetness, but rather saltiness.

I quite like the Salted Caramel ones, I hope they keep those on.

Did you really want me to answer that...?


You would be 100% right

You arrived after I left for NT and you managed to leave before I arrived home, you must have been desperate for your confectionery fix.

Now good luck to Queensland in the state of origin, it is weird when the game starts so early.

Ah, like the F1 drivers ... now, is it pre or post race? :mrgreen:

Turkish Delight and Caramel are Mrs Flashback and my favorites...

Indeed! Meeting my new niece and surprising my friends and family was pretty good too

Probably a corner store retailer. You see them all the time at WOW/Coles loading up trolleys with coke and "liquorice allsorts" of other goods they can mark up by 1,000% and flog off quickly.

Went to the Bottle-O to get a celebratory Champas, and since I can't manage a whole standard bottle by myself, I decided to only go a half / mini bottle.

The choices were Lanson Black Label NV, or Moet & Chandon Brut NV.

Tough choice, really. I went for M&C.

You would love Maggie Beers Salted Caramel Brandy Butter. Maybe a detour to Angaston on the Barossa Trip is needed.

That's exactly what the family said too.

I'd prefer the Lanson Black but YMMV

Had enough Lanson Black - it's VA's bubbles choice on C2C services. Rocket fuel IMO....

Yep, pretty much. The Moët isn't much better. I'd have gone for a full bottle of Taittinger or Veuve and forced* myself to drink it all :mrgreen:

*just pretended its a typical Sat night really

I might have thought a silent word in there somewhere.

What an awesome game; :shock: pity about the result.

Yes, it does make you one.

Drink Champagne or wine instead - much classier. :mrgreen:

(Now what do you make of someone in a Bintang singlet quaffing down a glass of Moet & Chandon or the like..... )

Flexible? and adaptable.
