Chlorine, 10kg for R289 at Spar...

So, you going to share everything then?

Was about to say the same.

Can someone explain to me the big deal about BK? Looks like McD, Smells like McD, tastes like McD.

Think you need to get your nose or tastebuds checked, doesn't smell nor taste anything like Macdonalds, maybe overseas but here it's vastly different.

Following in the footsteps of Cremora who did the same thing earlier this year.

Ellis Brown and Cremora is the same product made by the same company aimed at different segments of the market.

My bad. I own up to my mistake.

My bad. I own up to my mistake.

They did both go the downsize route to increase profit....

Nee man, ons werk hier met kos.

In other news, my local Burger King (The sancury, Somerset West) is giving out free 'burgers':

View attachment 461339

Buy a R6 cone via drivethrough, do the survey and head inside and buy a R20+ item and get a free whopper! So for R35 you can get a cone, a value meal and a Whopper...

Awesome thanks man I'm totally gonna do....

/considers effort involved to get free burger................



Nah stuff that

T&C's apply
Only free with a meal.
Usual misleading fine print.

You don't have to get a meal. Usual misleading from 3gee apply.

Umm, nope. New BK opened in Kyalami. Kids persuaded us to go. Twice - once for me, once for my wife. Looks, smells & tastes like McD. At R80+ for whopper aka McD I'd rather (actually, I did) walk 100 metres to the Baron & have a burger & chips with a free draught beer.

Ellis Brown and Cremora is the same product made by the same company aimed at different segments of the market.

Umm - Nope.

R60 per 6lt pack, 5 packs per customer, going again tomorrow.

Why not visit a M&B and try for yourself and report back.

I did. That's why I posted that...

I had the opposite experience.

I had the opposite experience.

It helps to ask them beforehand...

They have amended the terms to exclude items that are "on promotion" so the above won't work anymore. Your best bet is probably R38.90 for a R6 cone and 2 whoppers.
