  You’ve just gotta put 10 tablespoons in and then layer it on top of the milk so it’s all crunchy.

    I think Nestlé deliberately made Milo Hydrophobic so you’re compelled to add more thus buying more.

  That everyone as well as kids <5 need ankle bracelets that deliver an electric current when they’re not walking on the left of footpaths.

  Nothing crazy… maybe 220,000 volts or so.

    I think if you have a toddler, you and the kid should be implanted with a magnet and it automatically activates in carparks.

  Most children under 5 should be leashed

    Mine were, lol… both were pretty keen on doing a runner as soon as they were released from the confines of a stroller/car/parent, and I had foot issues after the 2nd pregnancy (plantar fasciitis for example) so i didn’t fancy my chances of hobbling after them. My chase-hobbling looked like a John Cleese silly walk on speed so the cuddly toy baby leash backpack was employed. When my mum passed away and I was clearing out the cupboards I found a 70s baby leash with parental wrist strap… looks like the apple didn’t run far from the tree 😆

      My kid was too. Not because she was a runner but because little kids arms get tired from having their arm raised so if she did let go I still had control over her movements.

      Excuse my brain: John Cleese & Bill Nighy silly walk stalking toddlers to an Attenborough overdub

      He peers at it with bulging eyes and an over extended neck The toddler scones it’self on a coffee table in the fourth suicidal attempt since teatime. One male prances in a hopefully distracting manner, while the other juggles 28 cleaning products. There has been an incident, he must evolve or nobody is getting a pretty blue thing.

        Lol that’s good, only need to add a gladiator style ring of audience members judging 😆

    heh…

    Actually saw that recently at the shops and wasn’t quite sure how to feel about it.

      I understand that it’s now OK to do this - apparently having the kid on a leash/harness means they “can explore their world with both hands” rather than going through life with one hand raised up above their head in their mother’s grasp. Apparently the leash/harness is good for brain development and posture. I’m from the first generation where such harnesses were not OK (the Dr Spock baby in person), and I sorta kinda get where they’re coming from. Also a less stressed mum.

  Depends how much Milo is used. Needs half a cup of Milo powder to get any taste. I don’t buy it any more. Too $$$$$$

    I prefer not to have to chew my drink.

      who said Milo is a drink?

    I tried the aldi one and found it pretty gross. My mum used to “make” her own with sugar and cocoa powder. Honestly I rate that.

  Lord of the Rings: kinda boring and a serious lack of Tom Cruise🔥

  source

  • Alamutjones@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    What role, exactly, do you envision Tom Cruise in? Because I’m imagining him as Gandalf and I can’t stop laughing

    source

    • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Gandalf is supposed to be like 8’ tall 🤣

      source

      • Catfish@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        He is often stood on a box purportedly. But plastering stilts are probably more the go for that role. 🤭

    I think Tom would make a great Alfrid Lickspittle. Would be nice to see him in a supporting role and not the hero for once.

      Maybe Apple?

      The computer

        Ah! I’ve not tried a recent one. Adored my Macs until they got up to the weird coloured ones. Got an emulator for some of the games 😺

  I agree with your hot take, although I guess that makes it a cold take

  It used to be better. Now it’s so expensive for what it is.

    Bring back the original Milo bars I say.

      My god they were good, even if I looked like a cartoon character who consumed alum afterwards.
