    I’ve virtually given up on bought biscuits. They taste like disappointment and cost too damn much for my liking. For years I told myself, “biscuits only seemed bigger when I was little because I was smaller,” looking at you Wagon Wheels and Golden Rough. Now I can no longer deny, the shrinkflation and overall stinginess is real. It was literally just a few years ago that I’d buy a couple of packets of biscuits per week on special as a treat for the family. Now each packet, on special, costs what those two packets combined used to, and I’m getting less? I’m going to have a crack at home-made

      That’s what I thought when I bought a burger from maccas one time.

      I thought maybe I had a bad memory and had grown up but I’m pretty sure the burgers has shrunk in size over time.

      Look, everyone says they want arnotts cream assortment but a big ol’ ice cream tub full of Anzac biscuits does just fine.

      Use white s sugar instead of brown and you get chewy instead of crunchy.

        So true. Homemade is better. I tend to only make small batches and they’re all gone by the end of the day with no evidence to show for my labours 😆
