Product Proliferation

$$$$$ kids.. its always about the $$$$'s

the timing is just so that you reckon there are a lot in one hit now, but they release hundreds of new products all year and you just happened to notice it now in a big hit of new ones. Maybe there ones you really hated so you noticed it more this time?

nobody WANTS/demands this shit... it gets put out anyway though. Sorta like american/aussie idol...
 
I'm the gimmickiest person in the whole world. I've tried just about all of these spin-offs, gawd. My favourites to date are white mini M&Ms, picnic chocettes and those new Milo bars. Yummo.

My least favourites are strawberry ripes, cherry coke and cherry ripe chocettes (hrm, a theme perhaps?). The cherry ripe chocettes are WAY too rich - old gold chocolate, coconut and cherry liqueur stuff is way too much for tiny little balls.

As for why - I don't know. Maybe computers are giving us short attention spans. To be honest, I actually buy less of the "same old stuff" that I used to buy. But then as I said, I'm gimmicky.
 
They make all this crap because people like me will buy them. I can't help it - if something looks kind of yum, I have to try it at least once. Mind you, I stay away from a lot of crap (being vegetarian cuts out a lot of options). But if you could see my pantry...I have enough food to survive a nuclear winter. Why? No fucking idea - I like to buy food.:) In my fridge I currently have 4 different types of chocolate to choose from. I shop multiple times per week (for fresh veges) but always buy snacky items too. On days when I have been up ay 5:30, by the time I get to the supermarket I am exhausted. The massive selection overwhelms me, and I will wander around perplexed for over half an hour when all I wanted was stuff for dinner.8(

BTW those lime and pepper chips do rock, as do the new white M & M's - I could eat a large bag of these babies no problem
 
Mass saturation of advertising generally means people will buy more of that product. Its not a fucking leftie conspiracy just ask the advertising execs who make millions of dollars and the companies that pay them. Eh comrade???

There isn't diversity in processed foods ITS ALL THE FUCKING SAME with different additives, preservatives, and flavorings to dumb your already pathetic senses.

If you can't think of anything better to do than drink Vanilla fucking Coca Cola than get out of your house go to a green grocer, go down Sydney Rd, buy a cheap eats guide, visit the Hari Krishnas, visit an ethnic social club on an open dinner night, go to an Asian hawker store, etc. etc.

Having said that, why did they have to scrap muncheros? :|
 
^ I can think of better things to do than "drink Vanilla fucking Coca Cola" (or eat white M&Ms, or whichever), but hey, when I spend 8 hours a day working at a computer, I want some diversity in the snacks I have while I'm doing so. And yes, when you spend as much time at home as I do, the shape of the snack and the different additives, preservatives and flavourings (which, btw, by definition does not make it "the fucking same") is enough variation for me.

Variety is the spice of life! I choose spin-off snacks!

Click to expand...

dammit when will people stop reminding me??!! i've only just gotten over the pages-long thread on the metalshop forum dedicated to muncheros.. i think i'm going to cry again :(:(:(

serenity now... just keep telling yourself they were 90% solidified lard...
 
anna!: please don't cry because i choose to mock mass produced rubish, wipe your eye with a kfc refresher towel and hooray for everything.

eloise: muncheros were the taste of mexico, manafactured in dandenong. it's post-modern.
 
Fireal, it's pretty hard to amuse me at the best of times, but thanks for playing! Perhaps the growth hormones in my mass produced rubbish have helped my brain grow into a fully-functioning, great-spelling, grammar-grasping monster, because I don't really follow what KFC refresher towels have to do with the price of fish in China (or more specifically, with foods that have spin-offs). Perhaps if you'd made reference to crispy strips.

This isn't a debate about the quality of the food or whether we've all succumb to capitalism or any other bullshit, it's about why we love Coconut Bliss Milky Bar, and the reasons for the recent influx of such products. Now, get a grip and partake in the topic discussion, or simply move on with your life.

:D
 
Just shut up, and keep the shareholders happy, just keep on buying the products especially from Coles, so they could make my coles-myer shares worth more.... just keep on buying guys, thanks for your support. =D
 
When will it all stop....next thing you konow they'll be dusting cakes with MDMA instead of icing sugar...

*hugs vanilla and cherry coke*
 
Honey-roasted cashews will always be the best snack food available.

stace.

Oh and bring on the Muncheros. Those things rocked my world.
 
Oh, the joys of capitalism!

To answer the triple layered chocolate it was never a planned thing.
When the new moulding plant was installed it had an extra depositing head compared to the old plant, and as soon as marketing saw the possiblity for a new product they jumped on the idea. All the necessaery piping and extra process machinery had to be added after commissioning.

And if you look at the product description it says that it has a layer of strawberry confectionary, not strawberry chocolate. Enough said.
