There are 2 kinds of people. Those who think Coles minis are adorable and those who think they’re a waste of plastic. When they were first released you might have rolled your eyes and acted like you didn’t care. You might have thought you were too smart to fall for such an obvious marketing gimmick….But when you got your first mini and opened it up and saw a mini version of a box of Weetbix you were hooked. It was so cute, a PERFECT replica. You are a grown-ass adult but here you are spending an unusual amount of money on groceries to acquire plastic toys.
Do you think that your desire to own a full collection of mini groceries is becoming a problem? Do you get upset when you spend $59.50 on groceries and the checkout person dares to hand you only 1 mini? If you think you may have a serious addiction please do the below test.
