Is a PHD in Australian Lollies just too 'sweet'?
How many times have you looked at your favourite lollies from childhood and thought, “they’re so much smaller than I remember”?
Well, you may not be wrong but the reality is that you’re probably paying less now than you were a couple of decades ago.
According to doctor of lollies, Toni Risson, who completed her PHD in Australian Lollies, individual lollies may be smaller but the packs are larger. An example given is a 300g bag of Fantales that in 1992 would have cost $2.85 – $5.16 in today’s money. But given that the pack size is now 40 per cent bigger and costs $5.50, the reality is that we’re actually paying less.
As interesting as all this is, you would have to question that usefulness of a PHD in Australian Lollies. But, if you could study anything as a PHD topic, what would it be?
A Doctorate for interviewing 300 people to get their opinion on lollies ???
How is Toni Risson going to get a job to contribute to society ???
Is this what the Taxpayer is subsidising in the Universities.
