promise after customers dealt with unfair and unworkable flight credits, lost baggage, excessive call wait times, and delayed flights.“Qantas charges travellers premium prices, but they are not providing anything close to a premium service, which is why they’re receiving a Shonky award this year,” Kirkland said. “The other reason is for their appalling handling of the over $1 billion in flight credits that Australians have racked up with Qantas due to flight cancellations.
Choice kitchen expert Chantelle Dart said the Zega Digital cooking pot retailing for $299 promised hands-off, energy-saving cooking and smart-app-enabled walkaway technology. When tested, meat in the pot was only 66 degrees in the centre which is below the recommended 75 degrees required to kill harmful bacteria.“When our experts cooked chicken according to the Zega app recipe, the chicken was partially raw, the sauce was watery and the vegetables were undercooked,” Dart said.
Choice also found that Steggles chicken nuggets, marketed as being “boosted with veggies”, were found to have “negligible” vegetable content. The nuggets contained 11 grams of potato and three grams of cauliflower per 100-gram serve – less than a fifth of one standard serving of vegetables. This meant that 26 nuggets - more than a full 400-gram packet - would need to be consumed to get the equivalent of just one serve of vegetables.
