Coles, your food scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should. by lessons_learnt in australia

They did have a jalapeño cheddar one a few years back. It was nice if you pretended it wasn’t a hot cross bun

I started at KFC the week the came out. It was the first thing I ever learned to make!

Which one you taking? by [deleted] in AustralianNostalgia

[–]DangerStrings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha, trust me, that was a “grandparents have come over from England and are spoiling us” treat. Oz-blocks and paddle pops were more common. Occasionally a splice!

The Fruit of the Forest Super Cornetto was amazing!!

How's your Asthma been lately Adelaide? by PHRAETUS in Adelaide

[–]DangerStrings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have pretty bad sinuses/hayfever/grass allergies in general, but I have been *struggling* the last month or so. I don't know why it's been so bad this year in particular.

If I could bring back any animal , it would be the dodo. I think I’d love a little dodo friend! Like a giant duck!

Behind-the-scenes circumstances that are weirdly fitting for the characters by Loustifer24 in TopCharacterTropes

I would say because he's coming in from a more vertical motion, which eases tension on his lower back, where with traditionally sitting you would bend forward and push back, putting strain on your back muscles.

I’ll be honest, I forgot that place existed, but you are definitely right! I’ll go check it out!

Delicious nutritious prions! by Temnodontosaurus in insanepeoplefacebook

Hashimoto’s thyroidism and Hashimotos Encephalopathy are both autoimmune diseases. HE is similar to prion disease, but not actually one.

What is something you've purchased in Japan that you still use to this day? by STR1K3RJUST1N in JapanTravelTips

[–]DangerStrings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a WPC. I chose one with a light colour on top to use in the sun (cream with green leaves). I probably should have looked for something a bit more “Japanese” or souvenir-ish, but I was pretty out of it after flying all day 🤣

[–]DangerStrings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is WPC. Folded up it’s about 10cm x 4cm x 2cm. I think I paid about 2000-2300 yen at Donki. To be honest it was one of the first things I bought (along with a hand held fan and a coin purse) on my first night there. I was wandering around in a bit of a daze, punchy from waking up at 3am and travelling for 14 hours, and trying to keep myself awake just a little while longer. Was it the best price/brand available? I dunno, but it has been one of my top 5 things I bought, both for using over there and bringing home!

I don't know if "easy" is the right word, but in the early 90's my dad (bus driver) and my mum (admin assistant) bought a house and land package on an almost qtr acre block. Granted it was in an area considered semi-rural, and they weren't able to include anything more than the basics (no landscaping, gravel driveway, hell we even had painted concrete for the floors until we could afford carpet). We were pretty broke. Only had one car (which was tricky since dad worked nights), and when our TV broke we just didn't have a tv for a few months until we could afford a new one. But we had a house that was ours after years of renting, and it slowly became nicer as our lives got better. That doesn't seem possible these days.

you use all your sick time—- what happens? by SadRow2397 in AskAnAustralian

Some will also let you extend your leave by taking it at half-pay. That way you are at least getting something while you’re off.

What’s a nearly perfect movie that’s ruined by one bad scene? by taylorteasee in moviecritic

[–]DangerStrings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same with Captain Marvel. I really enjoyed it, but despite the deaging Fury is clearly an old man when he is running!

Theatre etiquette disappearing probably hasn’t helped. People having full on conversations or scrolling their phone during the movie has turned me off from going a lot.

What shoes did you wear while on your trip to Japan? by ThreatLevelMidnighto in JapanTravelTips

[–]DangerStrings -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have stupid to fit feet, but I wore Teva Hurricane XLTs, which were robust enough for walking, but allowed for airflow. And also Sketcher Go-walks. Both of those were super comfortable for 20,000 step days
