    I don’t think they’re putting as much carlo in the monty’s anymore. There’s quite the gap, it used to be all the way to the edge.

      I’ve virtually given up on bought biscuits. They taste like disappointment and cost too damn much for my liking. For years I told myself, “biscuits only seemed bigger when I was little because I was smaller,” looking at you Wagon Wheels and Golden Rough. Now I can no longer deny, the shrinkflation and overall stinginess is real. It was literally just a few years ago that I’d buy a couple of packets of biscuits per week on special as a treat for the family. Now each packet, on special, costs what those two packets combined used to, and I’m getting less? I’m going to have a crack at home-made

        Look, everyone says they want arnotts cream assortment but a big ol’ ice cream tub full of Anzac biscuits does just fine.

        Use white s sugar instead of brown and you get chewy instead of crunchy.

          So true. Homemade is better. I tend to only make small batches and they’re all gone by the end of the day with no evidence to show for my labours 😆

        That’s what I thought when I bought a burger from maccas one time.

        I thought maybe I had a bad memory and had grown up but I’m pretty sure the burgers has shrunk in size over time.
