  Speaker 1: Concerning news this morning, Lisa.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Concerning. Very alarming.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Catastrophic.
• 0:06
  Speaker 3: Well, have you sort of stopped to look at the
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: price of chocolate recently in the shops? Yes, I have.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it's on special and you go, I'll dive in.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: But overall, yes, I have noticed a trend.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: There certainly has been.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: It was, you know, it was always something that just,
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: you know, you put it in your trolley as you went.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: But recently it has caught my eye.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: The weaker ones do that, yes.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: How much it costs.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, I've seen it cost, you know, $ 9 or
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: $ 10 for a block.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: As you said, you've got to keep your eye on
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: the ones on sale. But I don't want a fruit
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: and nut.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: No.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: They always seem to be on sale.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: I want a Marvelous Creations.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: No, see, I don't. No? I want chocolate. You want,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: what do you mean? I won't even take a top deck.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: I won't even take.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: So when you say you want chocolate but you won't
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: have a top deck, what do you call a top deck?
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Some kind of novelty chocolate?
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Well, it's chocolate with some sort of white stuff all
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: over the top of it. I don't like it.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that is also chocolate. It is... White does... It
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: is classified as chocolate. Not in my book.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: Anyway... I love white chocolate. Anyway, that's neither here nor...
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: What about a peppermint?
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: No.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: You don't like peppermint inside your chocolate.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: No, I don't.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Just plain chocolate.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I want chocolate.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Cadbury, lint, any preference?
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Well, now, lint. I do like lint.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: I had some lint last night, and that had soft
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: stuff in the middle.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Is that okay?
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: As long as it's chocolate.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Well, yes, it is chocolate.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: One thing I've noticed, on lint, I used to buy
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: lint when it was on special, right? Yes, yes. But
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: what I have noticed over the last little while is
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: that when it's on special now, it's back to the
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: price that it would be when I wouldn't buy it
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: because it wasn't on special.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's how they get you. I do like a
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: lint ball, and I like a moment alone with my
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: lint ball.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Oh, I like a lint ball, as long as it's
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: got chocolate in it.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Exactly. Anyway, we digress, though.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: The point is it's not getting any cheaper anytime soon,
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: and the reason is apparently a combination of weather events
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: and a virus affecting some cocoa crops, creating global supply issues.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Has it escaped from a lab?
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: This is what they're telling us. Anyway, yes, exactly. It
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: got bitten by a bat. I don't know. What is
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: going on?
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: But this is not good because chocolate is a non-negotiable
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: mood lifter for Australians.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Well, it's one of the staples, isn't it? You know, milk, flour, eggs, chocolate.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: It is a staple in our house. It 100% is.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: You've got to have something. You've got to have a vice.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: There are the essentials in life and chocolate's one of them.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Now, for those people that are, you know, like fitness
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: fanatics and stuff that don't eat a chocolate and are
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: sitting back there going, oh, well, well, guess what?
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Protein shakes could be next.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, true.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: To suffer.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: But, you know, eat a steak and some raw eggs.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: It's also been increasing in price. Whey, that is.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: The stuff that, you know, the little Miss Muffet. Whey,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: a by-product of cheese making.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: That's my favourite brand of protein shake, by the way.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Little Miss Muffet.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: A little jar, a little bottle of Miss Muffet. With
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: a spider.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: It's been increasing in price.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: It's high in protein and has become popular as a
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: supplement to build muscle. Whey can be found in shakes
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: as well as a range of other foods like milk
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: and cheese and yoghurt. and the booming demand for the
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: product has driven the price hike. So it's not just chocolate.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: This cost of living crisis knows no end.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: It does. It knows no end.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: By the way, Lisa, I've got a little gift for you.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, you've got a Freddo.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I've got a little Freddo frog. It's just a little one.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: What's it going to set me back?
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's... It's one of the little ones, not one
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: of the big ones.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: It's not a top deck one, is it?
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: No, it's just a little small milk chocolate. Just one
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: of the little baby ones. I mean, I've still got
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: a couple of kids to put through school.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Awesome. I won't afford any more of that.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, haven't they? He's gotten smaller. Oh, my gosh.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Smaller yet more expensive. Yes.
