    It's an OK deal for me.
    IMHO some of the rewards are more like promotions/clearance of participating products/services.
    Great for regular Kit Kat buyers.

      Rewards aren't that great for the purchase in my view. I'd rather try my luck in a regular comp for bigger, better prizes. OK if you are addicted to Kit Kats and if they are on special.

    Nestle is an unethical corporation, and they have shown no indication of improvement.

    If you consider the integrity of ecosystems, the lives of orang-utans and African children to be significant to your purchasing decisions, then this is not a bargain.

      You make a valid point and people should weigh that up in their everyday purchases, but most here won't, including me sadly.

      • You and Me on 11/05/2010 - 12:35

        Good to hear you're making considered choices (whichever way they fall.)

          Does this mean no Milo, Maggi noodles, Nesquick, Frosty Fruits, Drumsticks, Condensed Milk etc for you either?

          I don't know about giving up the Milo ;)

          • You and Me on 11/05/2010 - 16:48
            +5

            @sev snape: Quite so, I'm afraid.

            It's been a long time since I gave up Milo, and it was quite confronting to my childhood aspect.

            Yet, it was surprisingly easy.

            The other products were not a big deal (except condensed milk, which my double prize-winning ice-cream depended upon.)

            There are actually superior alternatives to Milo. I know that that may sound difficult to believe, however, it is true.

            There was one by Coles' old housebrand 'Farmland' called 'ChocPower' — at some stage it disappeared, and I got out of the habit of chocolate-malted milk. I've forgotten the name of the new version, but, it is available at Coles, and it is very good, and it is akin to Milo.

        Regarding your second statement: Nestle are systemically unethical — they were unethical in other respects long before carbon became a public relations issue.

          You have too much to worry about. Without offending a particular profession, I do not know how many individuals/organisations in their fields or expertise can honestly raise their hands to say they have never bend the rules and acted 100% ethical through out their career/operations. Do you stop interacting with all individuals/organisations because they are unethical at some point?

      What do your comments have to do with a Bargain website. This site is for people that want to save money. (Mod: inappropriate comments removed)

        People looking for a bargain are still allowed to have ethics…

        The poster simply displayed the fact that nestle is widely known for its unethical practises (yes most companies do bend ethics, but nestle stands out) and invited people to consider whether it bothers them or not before purchasing. No criticisms of people who don't boycott, no pushiness trying to get people to boycott - nothing wrong with that at all.

        Hmmm, you're quite hilarious — I'm not sure if you're serious or not:

        Different people find different qualities of a product or service to be salient to their purchasing decisions.

        The conduct and integrity of a producer is a salient quality in these decisions for myself and others.

        These decisions also influence costs and bargains in the long-term — if you reward or ignore bad behaviour you increase the marketpower of badly behaved entities; eventually you may have no choice except to accept their whims, or the collective whims of an industry with no standards.

        Scenario:
        Imagine if the whim of an industry/duopoly with no standards was to remove labels referring to fat levels in food, or worse: to misrepresent these levels.

        You would have to rely on your personal knowledge of food to ascertain its fat content. Over time, this knowledge may be contaminated with programmes of misinformation, and education channels may become unreliable or absent due to industry pressure.

        In such an environment you wouldn't know how to guage food for its purpose and its value, so it would become easier to charge you according to their convenience rather than your values — and the price would be higher.

        And what does your comment have to do with your negative vote?

        Personoally, at the moment, I admit I am a bit indifferent on the whole scenario. I'm just to busy to concern myself with such things while I have so many other things to think about.

        But I believe You and Me put foward an unbiased point (as he always does, check his comments) to help guide people (such as me) who don't have time to go out researching every company. Kudos to you You and Me

        Ok, i'm going to point out that the story isn't nearly as exciting as everyone is making it out to be. Nestle make baby formula. African people mixed the formula with dirty water. Babies got sick. NOTHING to do with the quality of the formula.

        • You and Me on 11/05/2010 - 17:49
          +7

          Unfortunately, it is more sinister than that.

          My understsanding is this: In the 1970s, Nestle representatives shamed uneducated teenaged mothers in Africa into spending large portions of their incomes on baby formula instead of using their own breast milk:

          • They were misled into incorrectly believing that breast milk was inferior.

          • And Nestle knew that they did not have access to sanitary water for mixing the formula.

          As a result there was a massive boycott of Nestle, and the World Health Organisation implemented laws about advertising substitutes for breast milk.

          Nestle claimed that they had ceased this practice, however, other groups refuted this.

          Currently, Nestle is:

          • Purchasing palm oil (for Kit Kats etc) from companies that clear the forest habitats of orang-utans. (Recently they began obtaining the same palm oil via a third-party.)

          • Falsely claiming that their milk-based products are important for healthy bones and teeth of children, despite the very high proportion of sugar and artificial additives that other sources of calcium are unimpeded by (such as natural yoghurt like Jalna or Bornhoffen, almonds, quinoa, seaweed.)

            @You and Me: 40 years ago i'm pretty sure a lot of stuff went on that we know better about now. I really admire you standing up for what you believe in, i'm just struggling to see how this is relevant to a bargain website.

            If we went into the ethics over a 40 year period of every company putting out a product i'm pretty sure there would be no OzBargain left.

            A quick search also suggests we black list Microsoft, Coca Cola, GlaxoSmithKline, McDonald's, Bacardi, Procter & Gamble etc etc.

            • You and Me on 11/05/2010 - 23:48

              @acidburn02: Yet, all that Nestle has learnt is to try not to get caught — they have not developed any integrity of process in over forty years. And their crimes, and would-be crimes continue to the present; only appearing to adjust when their PR goes supernova.

              I'm not saying that people shouldn't buy Nestle or anything else (and there will be times when something appears, for a time, to be a "necessary evil") I'm saying that people should know what the product and its implications are.

              I know that it seems hard if you're not used to it. Do not make the mistake that ethics is all or nothing — it is a skill to be learned and practiced, and it something that you already deploy day-to-day and that you don't have to do all at once:

              It is the skill of taking command of your own existence — discovering what you believe, not what someone tells you you have to; and influencing society slowly and surely so that there can be more innovation and less incentive for anticompetitive (i.e. predatory, deceptive) conduct.

      • You and Me on 11/05/2010 - 17:34

        As far as I know, the Chinese company that produced the contaminated formula had nothing to do with Nestle. Although, high melamine levels have been found in Nestle products, apparently.
