Besides, y'know, smashing the bus shelter? I've been trying to track down some of the Brownes Flavours of WA posters with no joy from Brownes whatsoever.

I would just contact Brownes again, I would imagine there would be a shed load of these somewhere waiting to enter a landfill close to you.

I do miss my Mocha Chill since moving to Sydney ive never found a drink that came close to it.

P.S... got any pics of the ad's you mention?

I used to drink Oak when but stopped when it became part of a multinational based in Italy

if you have a thing for one of the last Australian owned Dairies you can buy it at some Woolies....

I had a drive around the other night to see if I could see any bus shelters with any ads still in them. No joy unfortunately.

I'll give the Adshel guys a buzz today and see if they've got any hanging around. Otherwise it's another email to Brownes.

This is the sort of ad it is. And to give a bit of context, this ad was outside Carousel shopping centre where the Hoyts there famously had some very unwell looking mice living in their La Premiere section.

What are you going to do with them if you can find some?? Secret Santa ammo maybe...

Nah, as crazy as it sounds, I would legitimately frame one up. Would cost a bucket load for sure, but I'd stick it on the kitchen wall. I'm slightly addicted to the Percolated Coffee that Brownes do and really like the advertising campaign they did.

Yeah let me know how that works out, i think it may be a little curdled by the time its gets to you

For some reason i ended up reading about the milk wars in WA

and never knew,, there are more than 40 varieties of iced coffee in WA stores, considered to be the flavoured milk capital of Australia. Flavoured milk is a $220 million industry, and the average West Australian will consume 19 litres of flavoured milk a year, according to Dairy Australia figures. I guessing sand gropers have good strong bones and bugger all osteoporosis..

p.s that is a dark mocha chic milk the little guy is drinking..

DonPiano · Sat Mar 22, 2014 3:59 am

19 litres. I put away 19 litres of iced coffee a week.
