      No, this is Soy Sauce

    • I know what you think of it just by looking at your username.

      What don't you get about that?

  • Out of stock near me, boo!

    • seems out of stock on the 15 stores i checked.

  • Is this the good one? Ingredients not showing

    • +15

      No, this is the one with high fructose corn syrup in it.

      'premium soy sauce' is the one you want, not gold label

    A few weeks, I bought it as half price , but now ..wow

    • +12

      Just learning now that 'half price' doesn't mean very much at Woolies?

        Only just now? Please hand in your OzB membership.

        I love lifting the special labels to see the "regular" price underneath, Bunnings is great at doing 1-2c discounted tags

        • +2

          maccas deal was great today. sale price for the meal special on the app is $8, but they used the stock photo that had the $5 price on it. i'll skip todays deal and maybe snag tomorrows

        • Woolworths has closed that loophole, they installed locked labels, people cant just lift to see "regular" prices anymore

    • Me too 😵😵

    Why is this marked at half price when it’s discounted more than half price. Can someone please explain 😂

    • +2

      Half price of half price. They double discounted on accident.

      • Hah indeed yes! Should be marked as 75% off or better than half price with all these supermarket inquiries going on right now.

    • +5

      Probably because many people struggle with maths, but most people think half price sounds good.

      I saw a $19.99 item in Woolworths that was "1/2 price" at $0.99

      And US burger chain A&W found their 1/3 pound burger patty didn’t do well against the McDonald's 1/4 pounder. In focus groups potential customers said the 1/3 pound A&W burger tasted better, but they would rather pay the same price for the "bigger" 1/4 pound MD patty.
      Apparently because 4 > 3
      then it follows that 1/4 > 1/3

        Wow bro the last paragraph above is crazy.

        • +2

          I sometimes tutor people in maths.

          You would be surprised how many people struggle to add a one digit number to another one digit number e.g. 5 + 2

          If you start asking 10% of $100 some people will have a mini mental breakdown.

    Who needs 1.75L of soy :) my little 200Ml bottle always expires before its all used

    • +12

      Maybe you're not doing enough Asian.

    • +3

      Who needs 1.75L of soy

      Apparently not you.

      It depends on the number of people in your household, your cultural background (I presume Chinese ethnicities would consume this quicker than other ethnicities due to their culinary tastes), how often you cook at home… So many variables.

    • +6

      Obligatory 'soy sauce never goes off'.

      • Probably ones full of sugar do though.

    • Clearly you need to drink more :)

  • Wow don't think I've seen it discounted beyond normal half price- good find OP!

    "Product of China." - hmm, it says Hong Kong on the label.

    • +13

      Thats China 🇨🇳

      • -5

        Hmm, yet their internet code is HK not CN, and they drive on the left.

        • Give it up It's China.

          • +1

            @Spendmore: HK is visa free to Australians, but not to mainland Chinese which is so unbelievable.

            • +2

              @sicaboy: Yeah I wonder if Macau is the same?

              • +1

                @Lucille Bluth: Yea I know. I mean Australians can visit HK and Macau without a visa but mainland Chinese needs a visa to visit HK / Macau which is rediculous.

            • @sicaboy: FYI. China entry is now visa-free for 14 days.

          Wait until you discover the below territories/islands of Australia that don't have the AU internet code

          .cx – Christmas Island
          .cc – Cocos (Keeling) Islands
          .hm – Heard Island and McDonald Islands
          .nf – Norfolk Island

        • internet code

          Country code top-level domain, or ccTLD. Country is somewhat of a misnomer as the ISO standard from which they're derived includes dependent territories and other areas.

    I honestly won't recommend liquid products from China as their cooking oil carried in same trucks as fuel

      Guess you honestly won't recommend chicken products from Australia as our chicken has salmonella?https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2018/jan/03/south-australian-bakery-salmonella-outbreak-strikes-more-than-30-nine-hospitalised

      I honestly won't recommend liquid products from China

      1. Not the same company
      2. Not the same liquid product
      3. Your logic doesn't make sense. If you are going to boycott a broad category of food from one country, you might as well include Australia as well for all Australian fruit:

      García Family Rockmelon Listeria Outbreak (2018): The listeria outbreak linked to contaminated rockmelons from the farm of the García family in New South Wales is an example. The contamination was traced to hygiene issues at the farm, where inadequate cleaning and sanitation practices allowed the bacteria to thrive

      Or even better, @freefall101 example below

      A Victorian food safety regulator is investigating allegations that milk products from dairy giant Saputo have been transported by an unlicensed trucking contractor in unclean tankers also used to carry food waste and animal stockfeed

    • +4

      Yeah, something like that would never happen here

      People cut corners on food processing all over the world, and the Chinese tend to take it very seriously - it's always huge news and a huge reaction to it. It used to be near impossible to get baby formula in Australia because people bought it up and shipped it to China after the contamination scandal there. But in all the Bonsoy posts on here no one seems to mention that they gave iodine poisoning to hundreds of Australians when they changed their formula and screwed it up.

      The problem with a country of over a billion people is there are more people to cut corners.

    you deserve a better soy sauce. This one isn't good

  • Great find TA, thanks!

  • Just sayin… I recall buying this once and ended up tipping most of it out. It was like some brown saltwater with a slight soy taste. Buy the Superior.

  • Farkin cheap as. Puhleese, take my effing moolah!

  • Soy sauce tastes better fresh

    Pearl River is nicer

    • I don’t mind kum, but I love pearl river down my throat even more

  • Bought two after work 😄

  • Can ‘they’ spy on you if you buy this?
