Hello, welcome to a little Bit of Pod And the
Christmas Concktail Special is recording in November, so you have
until Halloween, the end of the month to get your
requests in your get the shout outs. I do know
that there has been a little issue with people in
the hook. I believe it said the UK.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
I saw this on our international podcast Family Pay.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Look. We've had a word to the people in charge
of the form, the web form. They're going to sort
it out. If you want to submit a podcast shout out,
you can do that. The link is in our Instagram

and we're going to do the recording in November, which
will play out over the summer break, which we're very

(00:53):
excited about.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
I went to the supermarket to do the weekly shop
with me and I don't usually take my daughters.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
I do at school.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Oh yeah, because we we'd always go as kids. My
parents would always do it on a Thursday night. Really yeah,
when we were little kids. Because I'm guessing maybe it
was payday.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
I'm a Sunday month.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
That's okayday Monday guy, right for the week. Yeah ah,
And usually I will just do it when that or I.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
Do a click and collect.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Oh yeah, okay, it's lovely except for produce. Yeah, I
need to pick my produce. Yeah, and I don't do chat.
What do they get substitutes?

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Yeah, I want to pick my substitute, picking the product
I want to substitute on something. If it's not there,
I don't want it. Yeah, Or I'll pick my substitute.
You just don't whack me a a cheap rip off.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
Yeah, my Joe.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
I've also taught them on this trip. I was like,
this is.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
How you get the best deal.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
You also buy the cheap price per one hundred grams
you scan through toilet paper is price per sheet sheet,
which is fucking wild when you think about it.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
And then the fucking cheeky mastards.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Super crashing out cheeky fucking because some stuff will be
per one hundred grams, and then other products that might
be slightly beggar will be per kg yeah, or per
each or per each and then you're like, but wait,
I need.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
A comparison per hundred grands, so I said per each.
We didn't need the per and each each kind of
covers per Yeah, that was a grammatical area.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
They break it up, don't they to confuse or that
cheeky fucker cheeky, cheeky fucking.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
Motherfucker said sorry, the language is spiral.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Supermarket the super markets, you know, they trigger us in
New Zealand.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
So I was. I was running a supermarket shop with them,
teaching them how to find the best deals and the specials.
And sometimes the specials aren't even special. Sometimes it says
special and then you pull up the thing and it's
the same same. They're paying to have a specialty. You
know why, Fucking cheeky and cheeky bases is what they're cheeky. Okay,
if CB f CBS, you're a bunch of f cbs.

(02:45):
So then the girls, I left them in charge of
pushing the trolley because there was some dawdling going on,
and I turned around and there was a tokyo.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
Drift, which I was proud to see. You got tokyo
drifted around the end of the aisles.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
But then a loss of control because they're not out
Paul Walker slash than these levels of tokyo drift, even
though I know they weren't in that fast and the
furious Okay was that other guy that looked way too
old to.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
Be playing a teenager, but he was playing a teenager
living in Japan.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
So they toko drift but lose control and like almost
take out a display. And it reminded me of taking
out a display as a child with my brother and.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
I did you do that?

Speaker 1 (03:20):
We were fighting over who was in control of the troll,
like pulling it side to side, and then I think
he let go of it and I pulled it and crashed,
and then of course I looked like the person that's
crashed and taking down the tins. God my bag there,
I had my big gym bag on the other day
brushed past some wine and wan yeah, and I was like, oh,
we nearly lost a wine bottle and that would have

(03:41):
been embarrassing.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
But I remember as kids, you would run a mark
because yeah, the parents would do the shopping, and you'd
just like it was the days of like free buns.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
You'd always get a free bund.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Three bunds at a big fresh and they'd always be
free sample, so you'd just be hunting out those free samples,
and I do remember a couple of times getting told
off in a supermarket. I remember once I don't know why,
I just found it using to rip the yo the
six packs.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
I know that was the break them apart. Yeah, yeah,
break them apart. Not for individual resale, I know, not
for year for individuals.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
There was a guy the other day that was I
was held up at the supermarket because he had bought
like one pottle of yogurt or sour cream and it
had scanned as like a six pack or a four pack,
and he was just like looked so confused, and they
had to be like, you've actually just got so somebody
obviously broke up a pack.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
But there was another time. I don't know if my
brother did this or just me.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Do you remember they had like loaves of bread and
they would have like cards in the middle of the loaves. Yes,
like it was it Ninja turtles something.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
It was a way of doing collectible cards. All the
cards were on tip top breed.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
At one stage, I think there may have been some
fingering open of the loaves of bread.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
Packers and some theft of the cards.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
They had to be fingered in there in the first
place that they stopped doing them. I think that's why
they started doing them cards in bread loads.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
I'm pretty sure my brother and I would just put
out fingers through the the congress. You'd find the card
because you could see it, and then you'd just finger
it and get it. And then obviously they couldn't sell
that because it had.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
Been that's bratty a very But you know what, now
they're cheeky fuckers. They're cheek so fucking cheeky buggers, chicken
che buggers, a lot of them.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
I don't feel bad about it in hindsight.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
So the most well known marketing tactic involving shoving collectible
cards and breads was the nineteen ninety seven Wonderbred Star
Wars cards, which are now worth of fortune. Really, why
did they stop putting collectible cards and.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Bread It'll be because it's a plastic bag and kids
would just easily penetrate, Whereas if there's a card and
a wheatbax, you can't just open up the wheatbacks in
the submarket, you know what I mean, steal the card.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Okay, So they think it's due to a shift in
bread popularity. Excuse me, can't very popular, okay, and marketing
trends went away from it. The cost and logistical challenges
of having someone stop every life of on a production
line and.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
In suiting a card that's too much.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
It would have been a lot, But surely they could
make a machine now, bread slicely, slice, opens card and
shuts up again into the bag.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
Please don't make that noise off and it's not yet open.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Maybe that's also why they stopped doing as the breed
noises in the factory could be
