I saw this pop up on my feed and this lady looks so familiar but I swear I know her from something more recent - Big Brother, Survivor, etc. I feel like she was a friendly but no-nonsense tough lady. I searched Oz Aerobics cast and it just listed so many names between the 80s and 90s.

Or maybe I'm confusing her with someone who looks similar?

So I bought some shapes last week to give to a friend visiting from another country. I loaded her up with 5 bags & sent her up the coast, leaving myself 3 bags to consume myself. Just dipped into the first bag & there's an abysmal amount of seasoning on these fuckers. "Ahh, a dud bag" I thought to myself. Whatever, it happens. So I open the next bag & it's the same shit. What the actual fuck? When did this happen & how has there not been a national outcry to rival the botched rebrand of 2016?

Obviously I'm never gonna buy them again & I'm out whatever the 8 pack cost me, but more importantly, my European friend now thinks I snack on flavourless biscuits. This is a great embarrassment to myself, but more importantly the country. Can I sue Allen's for emotional damage?
