Brother Max - Simple Clever Ideas

Brother Max is a new range of products designed to help get things done more quickly and easily. Each product focuses on making everyday tasks simpler and less time consuming.

I love seeing new innovative products and these Brother Max products are genuinely different to anything currently available.

Smarties that are good for you?

After years of Nestle insisting that their smartie shells and their ingredients are harmless with the many artificial colours - tartrazine (102), quinoline (104), sunset (110) carmoisine (122), ponceau (124) and allura red (129), these will now be be replaced by naturally derived ingredients such as turmeric, carotene and spirulina.

What a win and well done Nestle.
