Comment by AGP # on May 27, 2017 at 1:19pm: "Thanks Erasmo Coco", It's always nice to learn something new, the "Arnotts" biscuit company have released quite few of these "Anzac" tins over the past few years in different themes and colours, this is my second build using an "Anzac" tin, and apart from Tasting Yummie, the 10'' x 7" x 3" size makes them ideal for a CBG build, I still have quite a few unused tins in my shed, which will surface as CBG builds in the future !!!!!!
