KILLER Python shrinkage.
Your pharmacy may need to
stick with the classic jelly beans
for the diabetic in need as the
Killer Python may not cut it.
Nestlé is responding to widely
expressed medical concerns
around childhood obesity and
sugar intake by cutting their
famous Killer Python snake
sweets almost in half, reports the
Australian Financial Review.
The global decision to reduce
the sugar content of the
company’s products is driven by
a determination to get the sugar
intake “per serving” down from
20% to 10% of a child’s daily
intake.
Other products soon to take the
cut are Nestlé’s Kit Kats, Minties,
Life Savers and Wonka Bars.
Australian gm Martin Brown
said sales would suffer because
the price would also halve.
NO PHARMACIES here, but
you could sell sunscreen by the
bucketload.
Google has gone one or two
steps beyond its street view in
Google Earth.
The ubiquitous digital company
has equipped a camel with its
scanning devices to capture
panoramic images of the desert
around the Liwa Oasis in Abu
Dhabi, reports Orange News.
As opposed to noisy disruptive
four-wheel-drive monsters
churning up the sand in the
peaceful location, it was decided
that the camel-view would be
the most authentic and “least
damaging” way to gather the data.
Street Views are available from
the remote Egypt deserts to your
pharmacy front door in Australia.
