Keith - Tanks. Time to buy.....

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

Maybe Les Weis should partner reopening the factory and sell Friuto bars if he thinks it is still economically viable to make them in Toowoomba.

"tanks" here---
The thing now is Peters Drumstick.
I buy only the Raspberry with white choc, or the Caramel Swirl, and then only when on special at $4.00 a pack of 4.
[these varieties don't have peanuts which are hard to eat without teeth].
I still have several WEIS BARS in the freezer for visitors to enjoy but I have not had any visitors for a while.
I don't think they will last in the freezer 'till the next winter (2020) mob arrive, but might come in handy for Xmas 2019.

"tanks" here---my usual order was 20 packs x 4 bars [ 10 packs each of mango/cream and fruito).
The SPECIAL price cycle was around 6 weeks, that equates to a mango/cream in the morning, and a fruito in the afternoon, less any consumed by visitors.
I now order 6 of the Peters Drumstick 4 pack. Coles have the special $4.00 price about every 4 weeks, and IG&A fill in with a special when Coles are full price.

For some time I have noticed that the cream part of the mango/cream bars is not as creamy. One of the reasons I have changed over to Drumsticks.

Ray, Is that a Spoonerism or a Freudian slip, or maybe just a plain old Oops.
Or......did you do it on purpose to see who was actually reading the posts?
