        They should just increase the price by 1c and make it $8

      You could say that one died when they saw the price.

    • plmko on 21/01/2025 - 19:18

      Keep up with that attitude and they might price jack it to $24 just for you.

          You know number 4 is an unlucky number in East Asia because it is pronounced the same as the word for 'death', don't you?

    To celebrate Chinese Lunar New Year 2025

    Oooof millions of SE Asia bros cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

      well some people can get offended with CNY cause of "Chinese", usually by the ones not celebrating or observing the festival. only a matter of time before it gets changed to Chinese Lunar New Year to not offend both sides.

  • leyton01 on 21/01/2025 - 19:34

    Since when did the regular orange ones change flavour from orange to apricot?

      My favourite actually. I also like licorice and Turkish delight. I'm under 60 as well, just in case you were wondering…

        I'll eat the Turkish delight, when everything else is gone.

        Love Turkish delight. Can't believe it's frowned upon.

        • dukeGR4 on 21/01/2025 - 21:54

          cause Cadbury's Turkish Delight is actually so damn bad. gf's colleague brought back real turkish delight from turkey and it's so tasty lol.

          we also got them at the sunday market, very good too but very sweet.

          • gakko on 21/01/2025 - 22:50

            @dukeGR4: The trashy fry's ones (cadburys now? concerning) are the ones I like most.

      yellow is pineapple and is probably my favourite.

    Year of the snake, fitting for Trumps inauguration. There's no justice in the world and the rule of law means nothing :(

  • Kongzi on 21/01/2025 - 21:35

    How much is membership?

    • trixieb on 21/01/2025 - 21:42

      $65 for a year is the cheapest.

      You’re going to join just to buy a packet of lollies ?

        These are limited edition lollies though

        • Stone Monkey on 21/01/2025 - 22:10

          It’s also available at Coles and Aldi.

        Go to the new one at Ardeer

    The price is actually pretty good by kg wise ($9/KG, so works out to be cheaper than even half price sales of the smaller bags) but this is also demonstration of how marketing has worked in this case.
