Have you guys heard of the show Man Vs. Food? I've got S1 and oh man I envy American eateries so much. There's one episode where the host Adam Richman eats a 72 OUNCE STEAK with a salad, shrimp cocktail, dinner salad, baked potato and a dinner roll in less than an hour!!

Wow thats like 2kgs if my maths is right... and I thought this was big.

Had some sort of back strap for dinner (veal... I guess, mum said it was super expensive)
Anyway, this stuff is heaven. The best meat I have ever put in my mouth!
*drools thinking about it*

Twisties have another limited-edition flavour out this month - spicy burger. It looks like a blend of the last two limited-edition flavours (Spicy & Cheeseburger), but not as good as either of them.

Oh, and Smiths have a new chips flavour - Pizza. Haven't tried it yet, as it only just arrived at the warehouse last week.

What is with all the new Chips flavours coming out this month???

Not only is there those Spicy Burger Twisties at some stores, but Woolworths now has the Cheeseburger Twisties.

The Smiths Pizza flavour chips are out now, but the packaging says 'exclusive to Coles & Bi-Lo' and is being marketed with a 'State of Origin' theme (advertising, and has blue and maroon colours on the packaging).

Woolworths have launched their own Generic brand 'kettle/red rock' style chips and 'grainwaves' style chips, with some new flavours of their own.
The 'grainwaves' ones include the flavours released by Grainwaves, plus 'Roast Onion & Rosemary'.
And the 'kettle/red rock' ones include existing Red Rock flavours of 'Honey Soy Chicken', 'Sweet Chilli & Sour Cream', and 'Lime & Black Pepper'.

Speaking of Kettle Chips, they've relaunched a new packaging (and probably smaller size), with 3 new flavours - 'Lime & Chilli', 'Peri Peri Chicken', 'Red Pepper & Sour Cream'.

While Red Rock Chips have 3 new flavours as well - 'Parmesan, Chilli & Basil', 'Grilled Chorizo & Caramalised Onion', and 'Roast Tomato, Ricotta & Basil Rice Chips'.

And we can't miss the two 'new' Doritos flavours - 'Sweet Thai Chilli' & 'Hot Mexican Salsa'... both of which were existing flavours before Doritos downsized, but now come in new packaging and a promotion for consumers to decide which flavour is kept as a regular.


I remember the old days when we had like four flavours of potato chips - plain, BBQ, Chicken and Salt & Vinegar.... As Samuel L Jackson once said, what is with all this gourmet sh-t?

Okay, I have way too much of an obsession with junk food...

Nothing will ever beat the 'Flaming Hot Twisties' they had out years ago. I was addicted to them. ADDICTED.

Whoa, so many new flavours. My favourite will always be Toobs though, Toobs with Orange Juice is EPIC

Has anyone dared drinking a mouthful of Sriracha Chili Sauce? It's a good way of making your voice sound like Peter Cullen lol

EDIT: Am I like the only person that doesn't like cheese? I don't see the fascination with it.

I don't like cheese (but I'm lactose intolerant.)

I don't like cheese (but I'm lactose intolerant.)

So am I, but I still eat it. I'm not as intollerant as some, I can have yoghurt and cheese and such, but when it comes to fresh yoghurt, I become ill. I also can't have too much cream/ice cream in one sitting. I shared a big sundae with my missus on saturday night, was paying for it all next day.

I get lactose free milk these days, tastes even better than normal milk IMO.

I saw these today in my vending machine at work. Now I gotta bring some money in to try it.

Still, toobs were always my fav, and was so super excited when they brought them back.
