Ever read the terms and conditions you’ve signed up for when you click “accept” on all a website? If your answer is no, you’re not alone, especially considering some of those conditions are thousands and thousands of words long. The Checkout crew look at the fine print of some of Australia’s most popular websites, and dole out some poetic justice.

This week the gang also puts energy drinks under the microscope. Red Bull, V, Monster and all the rest are pumped full of sugar and caffeine, and their marketing makes them quite the enticing tipple for youngsters.

And CHOICE’s own journalist Kate Browne delves deep into the murky world of lunchtime procedures. Botox, liposuction, laser hair removal, teeth whitening – it’s a jungle (print) out there, and you’re not as protected by the regulators as you may think you are.
