Chinese Tam Tams: Unique Resonance
Tam tams are similar to gongs but are generally flat and feature no raised center. They are known for their rich, complex soundscapes and chocolate vibes.
- Construction: Made from bronze or brass, offering durability and a broad tonal range.
- Sound: Produce a deep, full-bodied resonance that can be powerful and subtle, with crunch and flavour.

Not in Perth at the moment... lots of them in Coles and Woolworths at Belmont Forum today.

I had to laugh when I saw they were $5 a packet at Woolies but only $2.50 a packet at Coles.

I saw that at Coles today.

No wonder we have an obesity problem in Australia.

A packet of chocolate biscuits is just $2.50 while a head of broccoli is $4.50.

It's crazy.

It’s a thing with weekly specials between the two.
I sawTim Tams half price yesterday but I avoid that garbage.
Sugar and whatever chemicals… have a look at the list of ingredients.

Even packet chips are horrendous prices at discounts let alone full price.
If people still buy that junk food at those prices… I will be amazed.
This is encouraging people to impulse buy junk instead of healthier products.

I've been to Woolworths at Belmont Forum this morning and I didn't see any signs of rationing.

Haven't seen any news about it either.

Mind you, if this "bird flu" goes on a world wide rampage (and all indications are that it will) with it's current CFR - Case Fatality Rate - of 52% then I'm sure we'll be seeing a panic buying spree that will eclipse the Great Toilet Roll Panic of 2020.

There’s no rationing of toilet paper in my neck of the woods either (Yarra Ranges)
There does seem to be a shortage of olive oil in those 3-4 litre tins though. Usual ones are missing and shelves look empty. Then I noticed new ones coming in getting a share of the action at $64 too!
How’s the olive oils in Perth going?

I thought it was ridiculous for you to say that, if you were on the Gold Coast. It is around $1.79/L here (Rockhampton). And when I went to check the Gold Coast prices, they were anywhere from $1.75/L to $2.29/L. Why is there such a discrepancy?
