'No, I don't like it. It doesn't taste like coffee at all! It's too sweet!' Nonna said in the now-viral clip and scrunched up her face in disgust

Nonna wasn't pleased at all with the sugary taste which overpowered the coffee itself.

When asked what she would rate the drink out of 10, Nonna only gave it a four

With milk froth around her top lip, Nonna made it clear she wasn’t pleased at all with the sugary taste that overpowered the coffee.

‘You don’t need that much sugar in coffee. It’s junk coffee!’ she said before dubbing the hot drink as ‘rubbish’.

After being told it cost $5, Nonna said she wouldn’t drink it again even if it was free.

‘I’d say ‘thank you very much’, I’ll give you another $5 but YOU drink it,’ Nonna said.

When asked what she would rate the drink out of 10, Nonna only gave it a four – which Maddie described as the ‘lowest rating yet’.

In the comments other Aussies couldn’t help but agree with Nonna about how regular coffee is far nicer compared to sweetened Starbucks alternatives.

‘Nonna has never been more right,’ one person wrote, another added: ‘At least she gave it a go.’

A third said: ‘She is so nice with her rankings even though she didn’t like it.’

Another person compared Starbucks coffee to ‘milkshakes’ rather than coffee.

Maddie also added Nonna usually enjoys drinking espresso, which explains why the Starbucks drink was far too sweet for her.

In December last year, Maddie convinced her Nonna to try the Coles brand pasta after explaining she was going to eat it on toast with cheese for dinner.

In a 20-second TikTok video, the Nonna seemed confused as to why Maddie was going to eat the pre-cooked pasta, which she deemed was only good to feed pets.

‘I thought you were giving it to the cat, this is very good for the cat,’ the Nonna said in the now-viral clip.

A second video followed showing the Nonna trying a tiny spaghetti string before rushing off in disgust saying ‘mamma mia’.

The first video has since exceeded more than 1.1million views, while the sequel has been watched half a million times.

‘Why do you want me to try this strange food?’ the Nonna asked and said it looked ‘fake’.

She instantly rushed off in disgust while Maddie can be heard laughing behind the camera in the video.

The Nonna said the pasta didn’t taste ‘al dente’ (cooked to perfection) at all and instead was awfully ‘mushy’.

Others agreed they too would ‘never’ try spaghetti in a tin because it’s ‘so gross’.

Nurse lists the five things she will NEVER do now that she has worked in ICU

A young healthcare worker from regional Victoria shared a TikTok video to the Bendigo Health page outlining some of the more heinous accidents she had witnessed people involved in during her time working in a hospital

An Australian nurse has shared the five things she will never do now that she has worked in the ICU.

A young healthcare worker from regional Victoria shared a TikTok video to the Bendigo Health page outlining some of the more heinous accidents she had witnessed people involved in during her time working in a hospital.

She started by announcing she will never ‘chop wood, mow the lawn or use a chainsaw in thongs’ given some of the horror injuries she had seen sustained as a result of this.

A young healthcare worker from regional Victoria shared a TikTok video to the Bendigo Health page outlining some of the more heinous accidents she had witnessed people involved in during her time working in a hospital

‘I’ll never ride a motorbike in only a singlet and footy shorts, go drinking and swimming, use petrol on a fire and put any objects in any orifices that they don’t belong in.’

Her light-hearted reminder to Australians to be safe when they’re engaging in potentially dangerous activities was well received by fans.

‘Don’t move to Cairns… I’ve never seen anyone mow a lawn in anything but bare feet. It horrifies me. Surely a steel capped boot job,’ one woman replied.

‘Me too and I work as a community nurse,’ another woman said.

In a separate video a hotelier described the ten things she would never do in a hotel room, knowing how regularly it is cleaned and what safety practices are followed.

TikTok user Evangeline shared two videos about her experiences working in an American hotel and what to watch out for when you book your next room.

TikTok user Evangeline shared a video about her experiences working in an American hotel and what to watch out for when you book your next room

Her first piece of advice was to always add every guest in the room to the reservation, so they can always get a key from the front desk, even if the primary booker isn’t with them.

‘If there is more than one person staying in the room I would never not add their name on the reservation,’ she said.

‘If the primary person happens to be gone and the other person gets locked out and they go to the front desk and their name isn’t on the room reservation they won’t be allowed in. They won’t get a key, period.’

Ten things you should NEVER do in a hotel, according to employee

  • Touch or sit on the bedspread sitting on top of the blankets and sheets
  • Use the ice bucket without a liner
  • Leave any guests’ names off the reservation otherwise they can’t get a key to access the room should the primary booker not be there
  • Drink from the glasses without washing them first
  • Use the TV remote without wiping it down
  • Walk around barefoot on carpeted floors
  • Use the shower without flip flops
  • Use a hotel washcloth
  • Say your room number out loud
  • Reject the chance to sign up for the hotel’s points program

Next, Evangeline moved onto hygiene tips, explaining that her in-depth understanding of the in-house cleaning process has prompted her to bring her own supplies with her whenever she stays in a hotel – and to do a quick wipe down of several key places as soon as she walks into a hotel room.

‘I would never use the remote control without wiping it down first with my own Clorox wipe,’ she said.

‘Your cleaning and my cleaning are different cleaning, you feel me?

‘I would never use the glasses in the room, I’m talking about the glasses in the room ready for you to use, I would never use them without washing them first.’

And while some might think that hotel points programs are just a gimmick, Evangeline insists that you should always sign up to accumulate points whenever you stay at a hotel.

‘I would never sign up for the point program, whatever point program that the hotel is offering,’ she said.

‘Back in the day, you used to really have to let some of the points accumulate to actually use them for something good. But these days they actually allow you to use them for other things such as Amazon points.’

When it comes to the bed, Evangeline shared that she would ‘never sit on the bedspread’, explaining that they often don’t get washed.

‘I would never sit on the bedspread,’ she said. ‘A bedspread is not the sheet, it’s not the blanket, it’s on top of that. That thing comes off the first minute I walk into the hotel. Those things are not washed often… those bedspreads get cleaned like maybe once a year so don’t sit on those.’

In a follow-up video, Evangeline shared several other words of warning with her followers, explaining that she never walks around a carpeted hotel or motel room without shoes on: ‘I would always have a pair of flip flops on… I would also not take a shower without wearing them.’

Evangeline said she wouldn’t ever use an ice bucket without putting a liner in first.

‘Some people just use the ice bucket as is without the liner, no don’t do that, put the liner in,’ she said.

'Some people just use the ice bucket as is without the liner, no don't do that, put the liner in,' she said

‘Some people just use the ice bucket as is without the liner, no don’t do that, put the liner in,’ she said

She continued: ‘This is something nobody actually mentions but it’s big for me, I will never use a hotel washcloth on my body or my face.

‘I will use a towel but I will not use a wash cloth. Hundreds, if not, thousands of people have used that on their body and, it’s not that they’re not washed or sterilized, but having that many people coming into close contact with their body parts with a washcloth and then put it on me. .. no, I’m good.’

She added: ‘Just to clarify, when I say I use a towel, I will use the body towel very, very gingerly.’

Evangeline also warned future hotel guests not to say their room number out loud at the front desk for safety reasons.

‘If you notice, the front desk agent will write your room number on a piece of paper, they’ll circle it and direct you to the elevators, they don’t say your room number out loud,’ she said.

‘At least they’re not supposed to, and you shouldn’t either.’

Comedian Blake Pavey pokes fun at his terminal illness during his stand-up comedy shows

Melbourne comedian Blake Pavey (pictured) was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (CF) when he was just six weeks old. Cystic fibrosis is a terminal condition that causes severe damage to the respiratory and digestive systems, resulting in thick mucus sticking to the lungs

A young Australian stand-up comedian has shared a series of videos online poking fun at his terminal respiratory illness while performing in front of live audiences.

Blake Pavey, who has more than 870,000 followers on TikTok, was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (CF) when he was just six weeks old.

The 20-year-old, from Melbourne, needs to self-manage himself by taking between 30 to 50 tablets a day, often feels out of breath after exercising and is unable to have children.

Cystic fibrosis is a terminal condition that causes severe damage to the respiratory and digestive system, resulting in thick mucus sticking to the lungs – and patients typically live into their 30s or mid-40s.

Blake told FEMAIL he copes with his condition through humor during his live shows while also raising awareness.

In one video shared on Instagram, Blake asks the audience: ‘Are there any other dying people in the room?’ and woman puts her hand up explaining how she has a ‘hereditary family disease’.

The pair banter back and forth before Blake jokingly calls the woman a ‘loser’ because she didn’t receive a ‘Make A Wish’ despite having a terminal disease.

In another clip at a separate show, Blake explains what CF is and the life expectancy is – but then someone can be heard cheering.

Blake laughs and seems shocked, then makes fun of the woman.

‘He’s going to die, let’s go! That was the most positive way to tell me to kill myself,’ he joked.

Blake said living with CF feels like ‘breathing through a straw on a daily basis’ because the mucus in the lungs is thicker and becomes ‘trapped’.

This build-up increases the risk of bacteria and infection in the body, which requires close maintenance and medication.

Blake doesn’t recall the first time he was told he had CF but remembers the ‘toughest moment’ when his parents had to discuss the life expectancy with him.

‘It’s always been something I’ve just had to deal with throughout my life,’ he said.

‘The life expectancy is always in the back of my mind but I try not to focus on it too much. I don’t want to let it control me.’

'My mum and dad weren't aware they both had the CF gene which was passed on to me. It would've been pretty scary for them because they weren't sure what was wrong with me at first,' he said

But he doesn't let the condition stop him from enjoying life

‘My mum and dad weren’t aware they both had the CF gene which was passed on to me. It would’ve been pretty scary for them because they weren’t sure what was wrong with me at first,’ he said

‘My mum and dad weren’t aware they both had the CF gene which was passed on to me. It would’ve been pretty scary for them because they weren’t sure what was wrong with me at first,’ he said.

‘The first six or seven weeks when I was struggling to get to sleep and was in a lot of pain would’ve been the toughest.’

Not only has Blake been hit with the reality that he will likely die young, he may also require a lung transplant in the future to survive.

‘A lot of people with CF tend to need a lung transplant at some point depending on how severe it gets, which is something that is always on the cards,’ he said.

Not only has Blake been hit with the reality that he will likely die young, he may also require a lung transplant in the future to survive

What is cystic fibrosis (CF)?

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a serious genetic condition that causes severe damage to the respiratory and digestive systems

This damage often results from a buildup of thick, sticky mucus in the organs

The most commonly affected organs include the lungs pancreas liver intestines

If you have CF, a genetic mutation increases the thickness of mucus and other body fluids.

When this happens, the thicker fluids can interrupt the function of organs – like the movement of air through your lungs. This can trap bacteria and lead to infections

Source: Healthline

Blake has been able to self-manage the degenerate condition and says it can worsen over time.

He is diligent with health checks and usually visits the doctor every three months.

Blake moved to Melbourne last year to pursue comedy and is now planning a national tour.

On TikTok he’s known for sharing comedic skits and relatable videos – including mimicking what ‘every’ host on different radio stations sounds like and hilarious takes on real-life events.

McDonald’s Australia: ‘Disgusting’ trend takes off on social media

A disgusting new trend has emerged where young Australians are mocking McDonald's staff by replacing burger patties with fish

‘Disgusting’ McDonald’s trend takes off across Australia – but fast-food workers are NOT impressed and it’s ruining their days: ‘Grow up mate, that’s not funny’

  • Disgusting new TikTok trend has emerged with Aussies pranking Maccas staff

By Sam McPhee For Daily Mail Australia

Published: | Updated:

A ‘disgusting’ new trend has emerged where young Australians are mocking McDonald’s staff and uploading videos of their encounters to TikTok.

A tradie named Dylan posted a video of himself replacing the processed Filet-O-Fish hoki patty with a dead fish – before attempting to pass it off to McDonald’s staff as their mistake.

The female worker dismisses the attempt, saying she was aware of the viral trend.

‘Yeah, real funny guys. I’ve seen it on TikTok, not tonight,’ she replies.

The clip shows the young man standing in a high-vis vest outside a McDonald’s restaurant, opening the burger to reveal the dead fish inside.

Dylan then walks inside the chain and up to a staff member where he claims to have a complaint.

He again opens the burger for her, before she immediately recognizes what he’s doing.

‘That’s funny guys, it didn’t come from here,’ she says.

‘It’s real funny, not tonight, we’re busy.’

Australians weren’t impressed with Dylan’s attempted joke and stood up for the hospitality worker.

‘Grow up mate, that’s not funny,’ a man replied.

In a response to Daily Mail Australia, a spokeswoman from McDonald’s said: ‘We can assure our customers, our Filet-O-Fish comes scaled, cooked and delicious.’

Australians slammed for showing no manners at McDonald’s

Australian fast food diners have been slammed for having no manners after leaving a city fast food restaurant littered in rubbish.

A customer waiting for their takeaway order filmed the dining area of ​​the Melbourne city McDonald’s restaurant last month.

Garbage is piled up on the floor and tables – including food wrappers, half-eaten burgers, scattered fries and discarded drinks.

The mess didn’t seem to bother plenty of customers, who took a seat amid the rubbish to eat their food.

‘Melbourne Maccas is something else… They would have to fire me before I cleaned any of this up,’ the uploader wrote.

Aussies were shocked at the messy surroundings and questioned how people could brazenly throw their rubbish where other customers were eating.

‘Who would sit in that cesspit? I would be furious about the state of that,’ one person wrote.

‘How can people be so inconsiderate, just use the bin,’ another said.

‘And Melbourne is one of the top ten most livable cities in the world?’ a third said.

Some commenters tried to provide an explanation for why the restaurant would be that messy.

‘If this is near the clubs on a Friday or Saturday night it’s not that out of the ordinary,’ one person said.

‘The manager probably tolerates it for the amount of business they’re getting,’ added another.

‘If it’s after midnight the employees might be told to just leave it as it’s a health and safety issue,’ a third said.

By Matilda Rudd For Daily Mail Australia

Published: | Updated:

A young woman has shared the bizarre conversation she had with a would-be match on a dating app and how he tried to coax her to his apartment on the very first date.

Quinn Martin, who lives in New York City, took to TikTok on July 21 to share screenshots of a text message exchange she had with a man named ‘Jake’ after meeting on Hinge.

‘There’s a rooftop lounge that just opened that’s BYOB not many people know about that we could try,’ he asked her, which she initially thought was a good idea.

‘A couple of hours before the date I asked for the address because I wanted to see what the place was all about and he sent me the address of an apartment complex,’ she said.

‘Maybe I was missing something, I thought, so I asked him if it was a restaurant and three minutes later he says “haha no” with no other explanation.’

Quinn was starting to believe ‘Jake’ was trying to trick her into coming to his apartment building for a drink on their first date.

‘Turns out that’s exactly what he was doing,’ she said.

Jake wrote to her: ‘Haha I thought I did a good job selling it. The views are pretty sweet but we can hit a bar if you’d rather.’

Quinn explained to her potential match that she didn’t feel comfortable with the proposition and asked if he was even going to tell her it was his place before she got there.

Her fans on the social media platform were quick to point out that her comments were a huge red flag.

‘I wonder if this has ever worked for him before,’ one woman replied.

‘Lmao that’s bad enough, but he also wanted you to bring your own alcohol to his apartment on the first date,’ said another.

A third added: ‘Do men think we’re just gonna say “yeah see you there” without investigating for our literal safety?’

Wedding makeup artist shares the five mistakes brides make while getting ready for their big day

Wedding makeup artist shares the five mistakes brides make while getting ready for their big day – and the beauty product she swears by for dewy skin

  • Makeup artist Kelly Mills has shared a TikTok video about the modern bride
  • She has spent more than 50 separate mornings with brides on their wedding day
  • So she has some advice to offer those who might make common ‘mistakes’
  • She says keep the party ‘small’, get ready an hour early and ensure you eat is key

Published: | Updated:

An Australian bridal makeup artist has shared the major mistakes she sees her clients make on the morning of their wedding day that causes undue stress.

Kelly Mills, who works out of Melbourne, Victoria, took to TikTok on July 28 to address some of the key problems she has witnessed in the dressing room before a bride walks down the aisle.

‘I am extremely single but this is the advice I have saved in my brain from spending 50+ mornings with bridal parties,’ she said.

One of the most important things to remember is that not everyone is needed in the bride’s room to help her get ready for the day, and the less the better according to Ms Mills.

‘The only people that will be there will be me and my bridal party and maybe mum if she’s got her nerves in order,’ she said.

‘Then your photographer, your makeup artist and your hairstylist.’

The more people involved in the beginning formations of your wedding day the more nervous energy is threatening to bubble to the surface.

Next, Ms Mills notes how important it is to feed and hydrate both the bride and her party before festivities begin.

‘It’s a big morning and a very big day,’ she said. ‘And by hydrate, I mean water, coffee, mimosas.’

One of the most important things to remember is that not everyone is needed in the bride's room to help her get ready for the day, and the less the better according to Ms Mills

One of the most important things to remember is that not everyone is needed in the bride’s room to help her get ready for the day, and the less the better according to Ms Mills

Another glaring problem is how long brides give themselves to get ready, with 30 minutes ‘just not enough time’ for the photographer to snap enough pictures and for any touch ups to be applied.

‘The photographers need a good chunk of time to get good snaps and if the bride has only an hour to take photos before she needs to leave, she will be “super stressed,”‘ Ms Mills said.

For those looking to give themselves an all-over glow on the morning of their wedding, Ms Mills’ top skincare tip is to use Go-To’s Transformazing face masks 30 minutes to an hour before getting their makeup done.

But only if they’ve tested the mask ahead of time and know they won’t have an allergic reaction to the ingredients.

‘You’ll be glowing all day long,’ she said.

Finally, she urges brides to download a good playlist, prepare some drinks and snap away on polaroid cameras to cherish the memories of the big day.

‘It’s the time in your day with your girls and guys – if there’s guys there too – that’s just for you,’ said Mills.

‘Make it fun, it’s your wedding morning. It should be nothing but happy good times.’

‘British-obsessed’ Aussie woman points out the bizarre items she found while shopping in an English supermarket for the first time: ‘Why would you microwave a single slice of toast?’

A ‘British obsessed’ Australian woman has visited an English supermarket for the first time and pointed out some of the very unique differences in how the two nations shop.

Comedian Georgia Jean McCudden, 22, jetted to Bath, the largest city in the county of Somerset, England, with her boyfriend Sam in tow to enjoy a relaxing European summer.

While visiting the city Georgia made sure to stop by a local Waitrose and Marks and Spencer to get a taste for how the Brits purchase their groceries – and voiced a number of surprises along the way in a recent TikTok video.

‘I’m Australian and I’ve never been to a British supermarket before so these were my honest thoughts. So I started by looking at the juice and I thought ‘what in the hell is this Truman s***?’ She started, pointing out that the plastic containers of juice in M&S were filled with paper.

They were mock ups of what customers could buy if they visited the cafe in the center of the store but it confused Georgia nonetheless.

‘Something I found in M&S was that 90 per cent of the chilled section was ready made meals. The UK just understands that most families have both parents making the income,’ she continued.

‘Honestly the quality and convenience is a 10/10.’

However she did spot a single piece of packaged cold toast in the freezer section and pointed out how wasteful that appeared to be, given how easy it is to use a toaster.

‘I know humanity loves their convenience but at the end of the day why would you microwave a single piece of toast?’ She questioned.

Georgia was also not a fan of the many assorted ‘chocolate and orange’ flavoring combinations in the sweets section.

‘That’s just like eating a cucumber and ice cream. Like you could do it but why would you want to?’ She said.

In Waitrose Georgia noted that there were special personal scanning devices so you could seamlessly checkout while you shop through the store.

‘Honestly genius, Australia get onto it,’ she said.

‘Inside Waitrose they had cooking classes, a cafe and you can buy alcohol too. Australians are like kids who don’t like their food touching… like you have to go to three different places to do all that.’

Georgia and Sam ended up purchasing a packaged ravioli pasta for dinner before leaving the shop.

Many of her followers pointed out how expensive Waitrose and M&S are in comparison to Asda and Tesco supermarkets.

‘Found it so weird when I first moved here that you can get clothes, alcohol and food all in the same place,’ a fellow Australian follower commented.

‘I’m British myself and yet the orange and chocolate doesn’t make sense to me either,’ said another.

A third added: ‘Nah but how is amazing is M&S… if I could bring anything from the UK, it would be marksies’.

Young Australian gamer Madeline Watson (pictured) has more than 559,000 TikTok followers and has shared how men react when they realize she's a female gamer

A young Australian gamer who has more than half a million TikTok followers has revealed how men react when they realize they’ve been defeated by a woman in Call Of Duty.

Madeline Watson, from Adelaide, who’s known as ‘JustMaddyx’ online, has been a full-time Twitch streamer since 2020 and in her first year made nearly $70,000.

The 24-year-old said most people don’t expect women to be gamers in the male-dominated industry – but she doesn’t take any vile comments from men personally.

‘I have a thick skin and find it funny most of the time, but sometimes I bite back,’ she told FEMAIL.

The young streamer said she’s both a nerdy and girly because she enjoys wearing nice clothes, going to the hair salon, getting her nails done – and gaming.

Maddy said she ‘doesn’t really care’ what other say to her and it doesn’t impact her.

‘A lot of people are supportive, but some can be rude and likely would never say anything in person.

Another male gamer recently lost it when he realized he was losing a game of Call Of Duty to a woman.

‘You’re not f***ing good Maddy. You’re just a girl and I hope you f***ing…,’ the furious male gamer said, before Maddy interjected.

‘Wow, that’s pretty toxic bro. You sound kind of mad.’

‘Make me a sandwich you b****,’ the man smoked.

Maddy replied: ‘You wish bro, you f***ing wish.’

'The typical comment is "go back to the kitchen" because people think this [gaming] is just a man's thing to do,' Maddy said, adding that she 'doesn't really care' what other say to her and it doesn't mentally impact her
