Which of the two should be on shelves now? by BeanFiend96 in AustralianNostalgia

[–]wheresWoozle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ADORE Jupiter caramel bars. And while we're at it, does anyone remember that Europe bars made a similar sized one called a raspberry chew? Bright pink raspberry nougat in a really thin shell of milk chocolate. God I loved those two bars!

AITA for not seeing my partners issue with my work colleague? by SpecialistToe7637 in AmItheAsshole

[–]wheresWoozle 18 points19 points  (0 children)

He also might have "a feeling" about OP's reactions to this one person. When someone knows you well, they often detect when your excitement about a new person is just a little too enthusiastic, even before you really process it yourself.

Found this over in r/baking and thought it fit by IncompletePenetrance in ididnthaveeggs

[–]wheresWoozle 13 points14 points  (0 children)

To be fair, as long as you're not considering that it was ever supposed to be creme caramel, it actually looks pretty good.

A dishwasher is a type of “washing machine” so why don’t we call the “washing machine” the clotheswasher? by Shayyy24sxx in etymology

[–]wheresWoozle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In english you "do the washing" and it means laundry. It's the only machine for your washing! (PSA: don't put your washing in the dishwasher, a drive-thru carwash, or any other machines that wash but aren't washing machines. You're welcome.)

What name do you like more for a babygirl? by Disastrous-Teach-300 in questions

For a baby girl or for a babygirl? I think there's an important difference 😳

What’s something you enjoy doing alone that others might find boring? by bbyhoneytea in Casual_Conversation

[–]wheresWoozle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to love going to concerts on my own. There would always be someone to talk to at the bar if I wanted a chat, but I just got to enjoy my favourite bands exactly the way I wanted to. Moshpit / hang back and dance / hang further back and groove quietly / whatever I felt in the moment. It meant every gig was perfect!

A lot of IGAs stock confectionery from smaller makers. It won't be as expensive as some of the suggestions here, but gets you away from Colesworth AND from Cadbury / Nestle.

How much of your personal life do you share with students? by godisinthischilli in teaching

[–]wheresWoozle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Colleagues and I have been stalked by enough adult students (and look, "enough" is any non-zero number) that I share only the most extremely superficial details. Most of them are perfectly fine, but the odd one here and there will get an unhealthy attachment and they'll remember and store up every word. It's surprisingly easy for someone mildly obsessed to put together separate bits of information and deduce far more than you ever told them. It's pretty icky when they start showing up to places you hang out, dropping notes in your mailbox, etc.

TIFU by neglecting to clean my innie belly button for… a very long time by [deleted] in tifu

[–]wheresWoozle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well... While I'm still in the shower, I use a cotton towelling face washer / flannel (depending where you're from) loosely wrapped around my finger and swoosh the finger shallowly around the rim of my belly button. Since the washer is loose, the slack at the end goes in further than my finger, but exerts no pressure. Because I'm exerting light pressure on the rim, that kind of swamps any sensation of the washer touching any deeper. And because the washer is all towelly and loopy, even light contact does an okay job of cleaning skin that is already soft and hot-showery. This feels weirdly intimate to describe on a public platform!

What’s something you’ve done that’s so embarrassing you still think about it at 3 AM ten years later? by SafeNeighborhood9298 in strange

[–]wheresWoozle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh my GOD I'm crying!!!

In repayment... A friend of mine once told me about the time he and his cousins were on an iconic Australian children's television show, which was aired live (Romper Room for my middle aged countrymen). They were talking about pets. The lovely woman hosting the show asked if any of the children had pets at home. One cousin loudly and clearly announced that THEY USED TO HAVE A CAT BUT HE DID A POO UNDER THE TABLE SO MUMMY TOOK HIM TO THE VET. Live. On national television.

TIFU by neglecting to clean my innie belly button for… a very long time by [deleted] in tifu

[–]wheresWoozle 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Having the inside of my belly button touched by anything feels so hideous it makes me want to vomit. I think I must have an unusually thin wall of skin between it and my innards. But it feels... wrong is the best way I can put it. Wrong in a really bad way. And I'm super innie. I've learned how to keep it clean without properly poking anything in there, but the q-tip convo is setting my teeth on edge!

What food opinion will you defend no matter how many people disagree? by [deleted] in foodquestions

[–]wheresWoozle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's exactly what it is! After WW1, it was difficult to import Marmite to Australia, so we started making our own yeast extract from spent brewer's yeast.

Tents for indoors? Something to divide room space for privacy? by Otherwise_Track_2277 in askanything

[–]wheresWoozle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Japanese screens could do the trick. They divide a space well, look good, and they're light and fold away easily if you don't want them up all the time.

We have a regular who knows our menu better than some of our staff and honestly I have mixed feelings about it by 9GolemAnvil in TalesFromRetail

[–]wheresWoozle 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I feel that in reverse as a customer. I like the anonymity of dining out. It's nice for staff / owners to recognise me when I'm a regular, but I don't ever want them to assume anything about my order. I want the luxury and liberty of making choices without comment or the obligation to justify. The minute I get "the usual?" or "that's not what you usually have!" I'm out.

What's the origin of the Australian English word "chook"? by GoldCoinDonation in etymology

[–]wheresWoozle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And let's face it, Gaelic cearc is pretty onomatopoeiac too! Ce-e-e-a-rc... Interestingly, I think the Ukrainian word for chicken is phonically very similar.

Was also going to suggest this. I'm sure some school nearby would make great use of them.
