    By far the weirdest thing about Australia is that they don't have accents. Melbourne, Perth, Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, they all speak exactly the same. How do you live 2000 miles apart and not have different accents?

    Basically all convenience stores in Australia look like this. In America it would be the redbull/monster section. Except the first ingredient is milk. Has more caffeine than redbull. Drinks like chocolate milk. You even feel good. Huge product opportunities left in dairy. 🚀

    If you guys think fairy bread is the weirdest thing about Australia, just know that we have a full on line dance to the Nutbush that apparently only we do or know about?? I literally thought this was an entire world thing like the Macarena until like a few years ago

    A difference between America and Australia is that when Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said "shitstorm" during an interview and immediately apologized, the opposition party accused him of faking the slip-up and swearing deliberately to "appeal to workers"
