As an absolutely awful cook, I’m going to say – fair enough.
Speaking of Google and food, Mars has partnered with the search giant to give away a year’s worth of Mars Bars to those who search the most obscure ‘how to’ terms. If you’re the first person to search for some absolutely boonta shit, you win.
The Sticky Searchuations campaign is giving away 150 years’ worth of Mars Bars, so start searching some weird ‘how-tos’, I guess.
Still wondering what the fuck blockchain is? We got you, mate.
