‘Absolutely addicted': Brisbane man reveals exorbitant amount he spent on Guzman Y Gomez in the past year
How many times can you have your favourite meal before you get sick of it? One Aussie is clearly pushing the envelope as he reveals his insane eating habits. Tyler Carroll's love for Australian founded fast food chain Guzman Y Gomez is no secret, and he has been caught up in a viral whirlwind since sharing his excessive spending habits online. The 27-year-old took to TikTok to prove that he was the Mexican chain's number one fan, revealing the ridiculous amount he has spent there in the last financial year. 'I want to show you guys how much Guzman I've eaten over the past year,' the Brisbane local said. 'We can see that I've eaten 395 times... that is an average of more than one per day. 'I will get it for breakfast, lunch and dinner pretty often.' Averaging a meal from GYG 1.4 times per day, his spending habits at the chain are unsurprising. 'That is $6500 spent at Guzman last financial year... and guess what, I'm probably going to spend another $6500 this financial year, I LOVE Guzman,' Carroll revealed. 'I love GYG, I'm never, ever getting sick of it. 'I'm absolutely addicted to GYG — its almost become a personality trait.' The most shocking revelation — he refuses to use the chain's loyalty program which could have saved him more than $400, saying 'the product is so good I want to spend full price.' With an addiction that crippling the big question on everyone's mind was — what does he order? Despite ordering 395 times in a year, Carroll said that his order rarely changes. 'For breakfast I'll typically get a bacon or a chorizo burrito in a medium meal with a iced latte — normally bacon,' he said. Loading TikTok Post 'For lunch I'll get a chicken burrito bowl, no beans, extra chicken.' 'For dinner I'll get a chicken burrito bowl, no beans, extra chicken — If I'm in a deficit I might switch it to chicken tacos or if I'm in a bulk then I might add a bag of corn chips to lunch or dinner. 'It ends up being somewhere between 2000 to 2500 calories per day and about 120 to 160 grams of protein per day.' The saga has blown up over the past few days, with fans expressing their differing opinions on Carroll's eating habits. 'You sir are living the dream,' a comment wrote in envy. 'How do you afford $6500 a year on takeaway??,' one said. 'As a stranger with no stake in this whatsoever I'm begging you to get on that loyalty program, you're stressing me out,' a sentiment many shared about the absurdity of Carroll choosing to pay full price. 'Yeesh, I wouldn't be mad if this was zambrero, not even if it was mad Mex . But Guzman , cmon man,' a viewer said trying to start one of the oldest debates known to man. 'You might as well start working there and get 50% off,' a comment pointed out. 'Wow 🤯,' former Australian NBA player Matthew Dellavedova commented on Carroll's post.

Anthony Albanese: Prime Minister casts vote for top 10 Aussie songs of all time
While his days as a part-time DJ might be behind him, Anthony Albanese has proven he's still a music-lover at heart by sharing his collection of top 10 Aussie songs ever released. Casting his vote in Triple J's Hottest 100 of Australian Songs, Mr Albanese listed what he believed to be the best homegrown songs in history and shared them with the nation on social media. 'Hard to narrow down to just 10,' he said. Loading Instagram Post The PM's votes were part of a national poll held by the alternative radio station, with the survey typically held annually in January to highlight the top 100 songs from each year. However, with Triple J celebrating 50 years of operation, a countdown of the greatest 100 songs of all time will be revealed on July 26 as voted by listeners. 'They've been the playlist to our lives, defined the sound of the nation and echoed across generations, and now we get to champion all the tracks that have lasted a lifetime (or more),' Triple J's website reads. Among the PM's list are Paul Kelly's Christmas anthem How To Make Gravy, Midnight Oil's politically fuelled Beds Are Burning, and The Angels' pub classic Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. With such a contentious proclamation, naturally, Aussies chimed in with their approval rating. And they didn't hold back. 'Not surprised 'How to make gravy' made your list mate, although I'm sure 'Dumb Things' is much more appropriate,' one person wrote. 'I have a song for you Albo … Shaddup You Face — Joe Dolce,' another teased. Several followers suggested the PM should focus more attention on fixing the issues crippling Australians. 'Thanks mate power bill went up 10% in the time it took me to read this,' one said. John Farnham, Daryl Braithwaite, and AC/DC were three of several big-name artists the public implored Mr Albanese to consider. And some noted that his list was heavily dominated by male artists, asking, 'Where are the women?' However, there were some fans of his selection. 'How To Make Gravy to be a hot contender,' one person wrote. 'Great taste Albo! The coolest Prime Minister ever!' another said, albeit likely sarcastically. After he was similarly mocked in 2024 for sharing his Spotify Wrapped top songs, the PM either didn't learn his lesson the first time, or didn't care. His top five most-listened tunes last year included Australia by G Flip, Letting Go by Angie McMahon, Still Have Room by Hockey Dad, Lime Cordial's Pedestal, and Get Me Out by King Stingray. Years before Mr Albanese was exalted into the top job in politics, the PM was known to jump on the DJ decks at various events on the East Coast and spin his favourite tracks. Anthony Albanese's top 10 Aussie songs (in no particular order) The Angels — Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again Cold Chisel — Flame Trees The Fauves — Dogs Are The Best People The Go-Betweens — Cattle and Cane You Am I — Purple Sneakers Hunters & Collectors — Throw Your Arms Around Me The Triffids — Wide Open Road Spiderbait — Buy Me a Pony Paul Kelly — How To Make Gravy
