Fine to disagree with me, but if you have nothing to add, and no real opinion to state, I wonder why you bothered to go to the trouble of actually reading the post at all, and then log in to put your 2c worth in, when it's not even worth 2c? But heck, I'm transparent and while you're being dumb, you're not being offensive, so there you go.

I think instead of emailing Aussie again, you should dial 1-800-GETALIFE. Seriously, don’t you have anything better to do. I think instead of emailing Aussie again, you should dial 1-800-GETALIFE.

Outback Steakhouse is an American chain. Strangely, it has set up at least one outlet in Australia now. American style food with Australian names. Weirdness. Ummm Yep.

I have looked on some products that I use, and I do see on 2 of them that they use "Natural Australian Sea Kelp". Just to say, this brand has had a great reputation for many years, and personally, I don't buy it because of any connection to Australia. I buy it because I like the product.

Just because the rape of the Australian brand has been going on for a long time, doesn't mean it should be allowed to continue. If P&G wants to be seen as an ethical company, it needs to add disclaimers that the brand Aussie is in no way connected to Australia.

The company was first bought by Clairol which itself was purchased by P&G. P&G is not at fault for perpetuating the hoax. This “Aussie” name was invented by this Tom Redmond guy.
