Yeah nah. Still made in Australia. Cheeky buggers.

Well I guess we DO have a history of claiming New Zealanders as our own, so it's only fair =)

Bullshit. Give me an example? ๐Ÿ˜‚

Macca's have a kiwi burger out. Something about beetroot and egg being kiwis best combo since the 90s something something. It was implied the kiwis thought up this brilliant combo. I don't even like beetroot and I saw red. ๐Ÿคฌ

As a fellow beetroot-hater I'd also still be annoyed at that!

The young Seagoons tell me everything is so expensive in NZ and many things are just unavailable.

A friend of ours has a NZish missus so they went to live there for a while. He said it was so expensive that their main form of entertainment was going for a walk

Ohhh I just thought of something I meant to ask you to keep an eye out!! Have you seen a Lasagne Topper's anywhere?! They're this batshit little fried slab of beef and cheese and I didn't learn about them until after my last trip there!

No I haven't but that does appeal to me.
