">OMG! the burger of the century!

It takes its name for the fact that you probably will look at it, drop your jaw in a mixture of disgust and intense temptation and say Oh My God!

The burger contained a mammoth a "1.8kg beef patty, 12 slices of cheese and some mayo, all packed onto a 30cm brioche." (courtesy of Bigpond News...and yes it made the news)

What i like best about that sentence is that it features "some" mayo...like saying "lots" of mayo suddenly peaks on the disgusting scale.


If you like burgers then who wouldn't be tempted to try the "tasty" treat. The best part of it is the cost. At just over 30 American dollars, you are looking at feeding over 8 people....or 4 very fatty fatties. Oh and P.S. it comes with 2 kilograms of fries!! If you were not full enough.

This ginormous step towards a clear path to childhood obesity has sparked a quest by Hamish and Andy- not to fight for fruits and veggies in the diet...but to embark on a challenge, "slurping" challenge to be more accurate where they will take on the records and mammoth meals of restaurants in Australia.Giant burgers, schnitzels and steaks....dont forget the kilos of fries on the sides. The prize? The comfort in knowing they have made their stamp on society, on its rules and regulation of "safe amounts to eat" and also, a shiny plaque on the wall with their names on it! What more could a person want? Oh - i guess not to die from heart diesase?

I say good luck and go forth! Just make sure to have a good balanced diet before and after the massacre of meat!

Mc-Maddnesss!!!

I love the fact that Australia is so multicultural and advanced in the types/ range of food produced and consumed. We are moving more towards healthy eating, seeing the value in fresh, organics and monitoring our exercise so much that it is like fad to be healthy.

When you are young you learn about the food groups right? Fruit and veg/ cereals should be the majority of your daily intake, then meats, dairy and fats.
Fats are a food group! They are necessary in that slightly annoying term...moderation!

What bothers me is that being healthy is something that you have to do around your peers or is seen as acceptable to be done around your peers, but if you are constantly healthy and feel like indulging- it is generally socially frowned upon to do so in front of others- even though they haven't seen you being healthy all week- you still feel like you have to justify the fact you are eating something that is otherwise considered lard!

I definitely feel that it is an important part of being a healthy community and society to support your peers and encourage healthy eating, but the guilt that now taggs along with your bag of McDonalds is just another reason to walk passed the store and fork out an extra three or four dollars for your otherwise so called socially acceptable healthy meal.


I live by these rules- 1) dont get obese! 2) Be happy and healthy 3) Enjoy your food in moderation!

Yes! that includes McDonalds, KFC and other fast foodies!

And don't be ashamed to bring your grease stained bags into the work place- if you know that you are supplementing your diet with a little fat from a lot of veges, cereals and proteins...then everything is A-OK

Why i-Snack 2.0 FAILED!

March 29th 2010 03:27
D for Disaster!

i-Snack 2.0? Sounds like a computer term, some sort of virus that goes in and eats all your software. Alas it is nothing so exciting, rather it is a fail in marketing strategy to promote the new cheese mixed with vegemite spread that jumped into the consumer arena with gusto and promise.

The clever campaign to let the audience decide the name of the new, creamier, smoother take on an old favourite was a good attempt to get the widespread outreach they so desired. Where the drama begins is the sad choice of winning entry. Instead of something actually related to the product, something that described the flavour, the look, the experience....they chose i-Snack 2.0.

I see where they were coming from..."ha ha let me be clever and make a nerdy reference to the internet"

Go ahead...but one of the key things in marketing coupling knowing your product, is knowing your audience. I went to uni and learned all about web 2.0...do you think the average Australian...let alone their key target audience (children, mums) would really know extensively about new/social media as to make the instant connection between the yeast based product and the new media trend? And why is that even appropriate to associate with eachother...how does it benefit their product?

Anyway- the little marketing disaster prompted the manufacturers to instantly change their product name to Cheesybite. Much more consumer friendly and marketable.

It also prompted me to snap up one bottle of i-Snack to keep as a souvenir...in hopes that one day it will be worth squillions.

Uni Holidays

February 18th 2008 06:13
Hello to all the regular bloggers out there!

Joining this community is most exciting and yet a tad worrying. Will i forget how to write a journal, write a letter, write my name. The benefits of having this computer are many and numerous but for those out there who share this same concern, i tell you fear not. Balancing the way you write your thoughts between the written word and the typed phrase is like balancing your university holidays...nice segue you say.
