For some reason this has triggered my claustrophobia

I would have suggested Eskimo ****.

Look, the only reason I'm a little bit worried is I've seen this situation play out before. Well, I suppose it would be more accurate to say my father has seen it.

For those of you who are unaware, my dad is an executive line manager at a biscuit company.

We're very proud of him because he's worked his way up from the production line and through hard work and loyalty earned this position in the company. I'll never forget the day he came home and told my mum and I that he had been promoted. We got to have takeaway pizza and watched the Nutty Professor 1 and 2. We were proud as punch of my dad and we celebrated accordingly with many laughs and good pizza.

I digress, so there was one fella at the factory, let's call him Leonard McGuiness. That was his name. He had arranged a meeting with my dad and some of the other executives to talk about his work contract. He was happy to stay at the factory, but only wanted to commit to another 2 years at the company before he could reassess his options. He was originally from interstate, I think it was Queensland, but I think the metaphor still applies to Sam Powell Pepper even though he's from WA. Anyway, the biscuit factories weren't so good up in Queensland, the humidity reacts with the biscuit mix you see, so conditions are less than optimum for producing high quality biscuits.

Sure, there are workarounds for this, but overall the biscuit industry has found that Queensland is better used as a production line for assorted fillings and then on-sold and distributed to biscuit factories in other states that will utilise these fillings in the manufacturing process. It's a classic case of two companies working together to benefit both parties.

So dad and the executives weren't worried about Leonard going back to Queensland, as going from the biscuit manufacturing and refinery back to a filling producer would be seen as a backwards step in his career. They signed the contract for two years, confident they could re-sign Leonard at the end of this period and hook him up with a new contract.

Unfortunately, Leonards ambitions got the better of him and at the end of this two year period he decided to terminate employment at my dad's biscuit factory and relocate back to Queensland, as the filling company had enticed him with the opportunity to become the lead project manager in the biscuit filling research and development division. He liked the way things were at my dad's company, but this opportunity would only come up once in a lifetime, and he rightfully took the job and left my dad's biscuit company one man down on the production line for a few weeks until they found a replacement. All those years of development and training, gone, just like that.

That's why I'm a little apprehensious about this situation.

Fun fact, Arnotts has a factory in Virginia, Brisbane. Just near the Virginia Golf course. Quite the aroma when playing some of the back 9. Reminds me of tea and Arnotts biscuits with my grandmother in Virginia, Adelaide in the early 80’s

I'd give up SPP for a bloody third rounder if I could find Arnotts Yo Yo biscuits in Sydney.

 

[snozulu]

Hinkley can do a good deal for you on the blinds

I only found out last year that Arnotts have a (to me) complex system of what they make and where they sell it. This per the great Ginger Nut mind-blower.

But even if offered all 4 varieties I'm keeping SPP

You have nothing to fear ... I hear SPP is allergic to gluten & cant eat biscuits, or even be near them.

Reading that feels like I've been haunted by Norm McDonalds ghost

My brother used to maintain some of the biscuit making machinery at Arnotts in Adelaide and says if you saw what went into Tim Tams you'd never eat them again. Me:

That's enough off topic for me for one day. Bon Appetite!

I think the same can be said for a lot of food production and eateries. Ignorance is bliss, as they say
