And People Complain About The Price Of Fuel!

[Snowman]

I went to somewhere for lunch today and dim sims were $1.20. And then on top you had to pay for a little sachel of soya sauce.

I used to get 3 dimmies with sauce for a $1 a school. When's it all going to stop!!?

[Paradizzle]

I think Mr Costello should be held accountable for this. Although to be honest, the price for a gallon of 'dimmies' has increased significantly over the past decade. Damn the 3 big dimy companies!!

[JCMarshall_Law]

dim sim resources are depleting?

[dezz]

steamed or fried?

steamed is good coz they soak up the soy sauce...but fried are good coz they're fried....a combination of the 2 would be ideal, but then you'd have to purchase 4 so that you didnt regret having 2 of 1 and 1 of the other...

Pft - you should visit my work.

Dim Sims have been $1.10 since 2001 and it'll cost ya about $4 to get a 600ml bottle of Coke.

[mr_crust]

theres a shop in gladstone park where tehy are still 30cents each for dim sims and potato cakes...'the chicken spot'

[dezz]

this fish n chip shop across the road from my gf's house sells souvlakis for $4! ill have to check out their dim sim price next time im in there, and maybe we can organise a group buy.

2 of the guys there have skylines too..white 32 gts4 (i think) and a s1 burgundy 33....they'll be sure to give us a good price

Were they "normal" ones or the Sth Melb Market ones.

Sth Melb Market ones i'd pay $1.20 for as they are nearly triple the size of your average joe.

But if not, thats a RIP!!!!!

FYI - to buy the dimmies yourself costs around .30c if you go to a wholesaler, so god know what the stores pricing is like, probably even cheaper

[Kaz200]

hahaha ash.. you've got a death wish! (same with the rest of you )

I used to work across the street and my workmate used to go there all the time..

Can't find the article from the Herald but...

7 Jun 2004 "fined $30,000 for unsanitary work practices"

...pleaded guilty to failing to keep its premises in a clean and sanitary condition and failing to protect food from contamination during transport.....

PEC Pacific Holdings Pty Ltd owners Edward and Phillip Cheng pleaded guilty to 11 offences under the Food Act and for breaches of the Australian food safety standards.

YUM!

[TracidTrax]

well it really depends on where u get it from ye?

[CNR33]

I think I read a while back that there was a plan to nationally boycott the Multinational Dimmy companies.

Emails were flying around requesting that on one scheduled day, nobody would buy them, but it never came to fruition. It was just impossible to organise, given its such an in demand commodity. What we need is the govt to cut the excise on dim sims

[foznice]

3 dimmies AND soy sauce for a dollar was pretty sweet andrew...

when i was at school they were 50cents a pop... and soy sauce was free too

but you know what was really cool at the canteen? Assorted lolly bags!! 50cents each and you got everything!!!...

just thinking about them makes me want to go down to bilo to get some sugar...

Yeah it's a good start for sure, but those in the know have heard whispers that any excise cuts would be minimal and offset by an across the board retail price increase anyway. The govt are part of the whole conspiracy and happily dance to the tune of their puppet masters...the Vietnamese & Chinese dim-sim cartels!.

Sadly if you want to run with the big boys and have the best gear you'll have to pay whatever premium these leecherous cartels decide
