Aussies shocked that the number of Tim Tams in a packet changes with the flavour
Don't miss out on the headlines from Lifestyle. Followed categories will be added to My News. Tim Tams will forever be an Aussie staple. Delicious chocolate biscuits in just about any flavour you can imagine - can it really get any better? However, one Aussie has taken to social media to expose a trend he's noticed in the treat, and it unearthed an even worse fact. Want to join the family? Sign up to our Kidspot newsletter for more stories like this. Image: Reddit. RELATED: Fruit shop's stern sign baffles shoppers 'It's disappointing to see' An Aussie Reddit user has taken to the platform to expose the shrinking size of Tim Tam packets. Showcasing a packet of the (delicious) Chewy Caramel flavour, he said there's now only nine in it, with a whopping 42% empty space. 'Tim Tam Shrinkflation,' he said in the post. 'Probably been mentioned before but it's disappointing to see that you only get 9 Tim Tam's to a pack these days. 'I worked out it's 42% empty space inside. And without the plastic spaces in-between each bikky, you could fit about 17 in total.' 'Tim Sham!' Commenters on the post thought it was slack. 'They should make it illegal for companies to sell half-serving packs,' said one person. 'I don't buy them anymore because of the price,' said another. 'Tim Sham,' a third joked. But, others exposed that it's actually always been this way - we just haven't noticed. 'If you look at all the different flavours, you will see a bunch of different package sizes. They generally (but not always) do this so that they can keep the price per pack the same,' one commenter pointed out. 'Special flavoured Tim Tams are typically reduced in size to 175g (see also the deluxe flavour),' another agreed. 'You get less with the special varieties, it's always been this way,' said a third. It's unAustralian! And, a quick look at Woolies proves that this is correct. Despite all ringing in at $6, an Original packet of Tim Tams contains 11 biscuits, while the Double Coat contains just 9 - as do the Chewy Caramel and White Chocolate flavours. The Dark Chocolate flavour contains 11 biscuits, again $6. However, once you step up to the deluxe range, including Salted Caramel Brownie, Dark Choc Mint, Cafe Latte and Decadent Triple Choc, your $6.50 will only buy you 8 biscuits. The Gluten Free Tim Tams will currently set you back $4.95 for just 7 biscuits. It's about as unAustralian as it gets. So, next time you set out to buy Tim Tams, keep bang for your buck in mind - or if you have a group of friends to share with, maybe opt for the deluxe range for a greater chance of an equal split. Kidspot reached out to Arnott's for comment. Originally published as Aussies shocked by sneaky detail in Tim Tam packaging

Shoppers 'transform rooms' using £30 Millie Mackintosh paint range that's 'easy to use'
For those wanting to revitalise their living space, a simple coat of paint can work miracles. Whether you're updating your kitchen cabinets, injecting character with coloured skirting boards, or designing a statement wall in the lounge, the perfect shade of paint can breathe new life into any room. Choosing the ideal paint hue can be tricky, with an overwhelming array of options making the selection process somewhat intimidating. Yet, the latest collection from the luxury, environmentally friendly label COAT Paints may just solve this issue. The brand has teamed up with popular TV figure and health guru Millie Mackintosh for the launch. The collection boasts an array of colours suitable for every nook and cranny in the home, covering bedrooms and bathrooms to kitchens and entrance halls. Discussing her collaboration, Made in Chelsea alum Millie Mackintosh, aged 35, shared: "Creating a mindful home environment has been essential to me, especially as I've navigated motherhood and my personal wellness journey. "Every colour in this collection is a reflection of that - whether it's the calming tones of 'Balance' or the warm embrace of 'Gratitude.' I wanted this palette to encourage people to slow down, reflect, and create spaces that feel comforting and rejuvenating", reports the Mirror. The COAT x Millie Mackintosh range features six unique hues. There's Presence, a Blush Plaster Pink; Poise, a Pale Blush Pink; Centred, an Earthy Pale Beige; Renew, a Teal Blue; Manifest, a Soft Fresh Green; and Nourish, a gentle, muted sage green. All of the hues are available in six finishes - Flat Matt, Soft Sheen, Interior Eggshell, Exterior Eggshell, Claypaint, and Floor Paint - ensuring there's a formula for every surface. Coat Paints Depending on the quantity of paint required, the collection is offered at various price points: from £30 for 1L, £56 for 2.5L, or £96 for 5L. Plus, it's simple to test before purchasing, with peel-and-stick samples available in each shade that are fully recyclable and 100% accurate to the actual paint colour. If this range doesn't quite hit the mark with customers, they could consider Farrow and Ball's new spring range, which features shades like deep red, mustard yellow, olive green and duck-egg blue, with prices around £33 for 750ml to £128 for 5L. Alternatively, House of Hackney offers a broad selection of made-to-order, water-based, low VOC, low odour paints across the colour spectrum, with prices around £59 for 2.5L or £100 for 5L. The paints from COAT - a B Corp Certified company - which are water-based, low V.O.C, premium paints designed to be among the highest-quality on the market, have proven to be popular with shoppers. The Coat paint range has garnered flawless reviews, with one customer exclaiming: "Just had our hallway and landing painted in Coat paint whilst away and all I can say is wow! Decorator not used Coat before but commented on excellent application. We have used Coat before ourselves and found it to be extremely easy to use and also the colours are amazing. Customer service is also second to none. We needed paint quickly and they upgraded to next day delivery." Another reviewer raved about the unique colours: "Beautiful soft hues, with colours you can't find anywhere else. I really enjoyed transforming my rooms with this paint, it has great coverage and is a real joy to use." A customer who opted for the Poise shade saidd: "I love this colour! I really wanted a pink bedroom but not too little girly feel. Poise was the perfect shade for that, it's so soft and subtle but at the same, so girly and a great pink. Did 2 layers and it's so lush!" One reviewer noted a slight discrepancy in the Renew shade's colour representation online, but was pleased with the final result: "The colour is a little different from what it looks like on the website - in my living room anyway - a bit more blue and less teal. It matches the sample sticker perfectly though, so I got what I was expecting." Another criticism came from a customer who experienced issues with delivery, but praised the customer service team for their prompt assistance: "Lovely paint colours, like the eco credentials. Good coverage and nice finish. Some issues with couriers lately, but customer service always very helpful and solve problems quickly." Someone else expressed initial doubts that were quickly dispelled: "I was unsure how pink this would be, but it's just perfect," they remarked about Poise. The COAT range, in collaboration with Millie Mackintosh, is up for grabs on their website.

Luxury eco-friendly paint range pro decorators say is 'excellent'
This new range could be perfect for shoppers looking to spruce up their homes for summer When it comes to giving the home a new lease of life, a lick of paint can work wonders. Whether it's painting the kitchen cupboards, adding a splash of colour to skirting boards, or creating a feature wall in the living room, the right paint can really bring a space to life. Finding the right paint shades for the space can be a hassle - there are so many options out there, and it can feel daunting to commit based on a single swatch.

The range includes a selection of shades for all corners of the home, from bedrooms to bathrooms, kitchens to hallways.
