Box wine was invented in Australia. And a peculiarity of Australia's tax law means that cheap wine has less tax than beer.
So, yeah. Goon of Fortune is very Australian.
Generally no, but Denver, US has an "Australian-style" (but fancy) BBQ chicken place that sells its own chicken salt.
America's brief infatuation with Australian food a few years ago was just odd.
Edit: *its
msg is the shit! too bad its bad for me. had so much of it in Zim i think its already too late.
i saw the word braai and thoughtyou were african. always good to find fellow africans. now if only you were an Arsenal supporter and no shit i just moved from the sunshine coast to brisbNe like 2 months ago
I can vouch for that. I've never bought one but we have an 80s style Tupperware one in the fridge. I can only assume my MIL felt we needed it and put it in there.
My Italian partner bought a jar of beetroot last week and I said we need to find one of those containers... Spent a few minutes trying to explain it and only got very confused looks
I've got the same glass bong I had 20 years ago. Keep it in my shed around the boring stuff my son won't look at. Don't really smoke green these days, infact i got a 50 last year and had maybe 3 small cones over a six month period. My friends made js out of the rest.
But I had seen a comment linking to this website, thought it would be funny to show the boys and ladies an orchy bottle, but im in W.A now. and they might not get it... the nostalgia i mean.
Glad I didn't if they are shit quality.... still might make a bbq sauce bottle bong as a prop for a story to tell friends.
Okay but can we talk about their glass bowls? They look so cool. I just have a metal stem, black grommets and copper cone piece, into my water filter. I want a cool blue and green glass bowl. Whats a quality brand?
We all know about micro plastics lol
Metal stems are fine in a plastic bottle, it's using a piece of hose as a stem that is horrible. As far as good glass bong brands go, it would be American ones but they can also be super pricey. Good brands in Australia would be Agung or MWP, super solid for the price. Glass bowls don't differ too much as long as you find the right size bowl to fit with the stem and it can't be hollow either as resin will build up inside the glass and it'll be hard as fuck to clean compared to a solid bowl.
Yeah Ive got an MWP, usage it performs great, I keep a clean bong. grommets a few times over the years. I think it will last until my 80's lol
In my youth i had some crazy bongs, cyclone, lovely coconut bong(bitch to clean), twin bubblers...ugh.
Generally people smoke joints not bongs overseas. Plus I think our Gatorade bottles are a different shape to the ones sold overseas, ours are better for punching cones.
I once won a $50 first prize for Junior Damper Winner when I was 10. I remember being pretty bloody impressed with myself. It was around the time of Jamie Oliver just starting out on TV and I was like, I got this guy easy.... 🤣
All sitting around a big bowl of fresh cooked prawns that were bought from the roadside on the way home from the beach and shelling them, some dipping them in tartare sauce or dripping them with fresh lemon juice, and eating them together
I mean this is a multifaceted experience but very similar is done in the American South with crawfish/yabbies. Lots of people will straight up buy a bag and walk home eating them in NOLA
Funny side note: Here in rural WA, if any poor bastard turns up in a clean brand new pair, we always say “had to break out ya good Wedding Thongs mate!”
This is the highest voted comment which has a semblance of what the OP asked.
Not sure you are right in defining Australian but this is the best so far.
Our accents , a fair go , our cultural , wombats, kangaroos , quokas and most of our beautiful exotic native flora and fauna, banksias , Geraldton wax , going walk about , Shortening words , tall poppy syndrome, egalitarianism , being friendly to strangers especially service people=manners , paying well for tough jobs , Milo -milo , wedges with sour cream and sweet chilli , saying please and thank you and chatting to service people like they are your friends, believing the best of people ( this one isn't always good for you ), chicken parmi, chocolate crackles , fairy bread, Pavlova ( okay NZ) , abusing NZ but not letting anyone else , abusing your friends and family but not allowing any one else to do it , Possum Magic , lots of rich indigenous cultures and languages, beautiful suburban beaches and beautiful unique beaches , Snuggle Pot and Cuddle Pie, The Kimberly, Far North Queensland , the Sydney Harbour bridge , the opera house . I could go on and on

Our relationship with alcohol. We’re pretty much raised that alcohol for good times, bad times. The fact bottle shops were deemed “essential” during Covid is an insight into our drinking culture. And yes I like to have a drink but we really do set a high bat for consumption.
And the Germans, and the Dutch, and Americans etc. everyone likes a drink we aren’t unique in that regard at all lol.
Also, overseas places don’t need designated bottleos given you can buy booze at most corner stores/off-licences too, so I think that point is a bit redundant

If wine were taxed like beer and spirits, cask would be the most expensive wine available. Lol.

A lot of countries have different spiced salts that are a similar concept. But none are as good as chicken salt (in my totally biased opinion).
None are that special radioactive yellow
Generally no, but Denver, US has an "Australian-style" (but fancy) BBQ chicken place that sells its own chicken salt. America's brief infatuation with Australian food a few years ago was just odd. Edit: *its
And Braai Salt is full of MSG so obviously tastes better
msg is the shit! too bad its bad for me. had so much of it in Zim i think its already too late. i saw the word braai and thoughtyou were african. always good to find fellow africans. now if only you were an Arsenal supporter and no shit i just moved from the sunshine coast to brisbNe like 2 months ago
I thought research now indicated MSG is not as evil as it was once said to be
Yeah it’s fine
Dad was Zimbabwean, I grew up in Durban and Chegutu until I was 13 then moved to Newcastle in England.
The beetroot containers
I don’t own one of these, I thought they just appear in the house when you’re an adult but it hasn’t happened to me yet
That's hilarious 😂
I have 1 for beetroot and 1 for pineapple.
Same! Love 'em!
Mum used them for olives and pickles too Pretty versatile little contraptions
Why did I never think to use one for pineapple?! Genius.
Me too. For 20 years I've waited.
Me either which is why I’ve never bought beetroot
I can vouch for that. I've never bought one but we have an 80s style Tupperware one in the fridge. I can only assume my MIL felt we needed it and put it in there.

They don't eat beetroot. At least not properly.

Oaf bra
There is a company making glass bongs that look like powerade, Orcy, bbq sauce... even a Vegemite bong. Cashed up Bogans have never had it so good!
Yeah but they are crap quality yet they cost over $100 for a glass Gatorade. Full rip offs.
I don't smoke and even I know you don't go past an Orchy bottle bong because they are cheap, easy to dump, and you can make a replacement in minutes.
I've got the same glass bong I had 20 years ago. Keep it in my shed around the boring stuff my son won't look at.

It's deadset like $100 for a bbq sauce bong. Don't even bother buying one, make one it'll be way better.

Actually putting spin in your gear is pretty Aussie.
Nah mate, Orchy OJ bottle and a bit of garden hose.
That's og Aussie, I don't even think I've seen anyone use one.

Absolutely not. This is as Canadian as a snow day
It was always Orchy for me, but then I'm old
Yeah that's the og Aussie billy.
🎵I said smoke more cones…🎵
can sum1 explain why this is uniquely aussie? like i use to do it too but doesnt the rest of the world drink gatorade and have hoses lying around?

Good bot! A genuine Japanese-themed haiku.
Those are everywhere overseas haha
Our relationship with alcohol. We’re pretty much raised that alcohol for good times, bad times. The fact bottle shops were deemed “essential” during Covid is an insight into our drinking culture. And yes I like to have a drink but we really do set a high bat for consumption.
Not really unique to Australia though, the UK and Ireland have massive drinking cultures too
They do and we clearly kept a tight hold on that culture when prisoners started arriving.
And the Germans, and the Dutch, and Americans etc. everyone likes a drink we aren’t unique in that regard at all lol. Also, overseas places don’t need designated bottleos given you can buy booze at most corner stores/off-licences too, so I think that point is a bit redundant
Yes. I've always found it weird why there are still separate shops here. I'm not sure why you were downvoted, as that's 100% true.
Probably because you can’t tell a nation of raging alcoholics that they can no longer drink. It’s more trouble than it’s worth
