1. If an order of wedges doesn't come with a side of sour cream and sweet chilli, there's no point getting it.
2. Pasito is actually better than Passiona.
3. And Dare is the BEST and ONLY option for a bottled iced coffee.
If I was to live of 1 thing for the rest of my life, it'd be Dare Iced Coffee, double espresso.
4. Even if you KNOW that a meat pie is piping hot, you'll never not bite into it anyway — and have to do that HAFSHAH thing to cool your mouth down.
5. Cheezels taste better when they're eaten right off your fingers.
You know you're Australian when you did this with your cheezels and ate off each finger.
6. You don't really care whether people say parmi or parma, but you do love to fight about who's right.
7. If we ask "how's it going", we don't actually care how it's going.
8. The best way to raise money is with a sausage sizzle.
Australian culture is grabbing a charity-run sausage sizzle when you see one no matter how full you are 🤤😭👌👌👌
9. AND ONION GOES ON TOP OF SAUSAGE SIZZLES, THANK YOU.
I love Australia so much. In what other place would the nation's leader be asked about a hardware store changing its policy on charity sausages - a journo just asked Scott Morrison about the Bunnings sausage/onion drama
10. If you don't wave to the stop sign holder when driving through roadworks, you're a dickhead.
11. Saying "That's your mate" about people who are definitely not someone's mate is the height of comedy.
12. Also, when you're telling a story and talking about a stranger, they're always going to be called "old mate".
Old Mate is the most underrated Aussie slang
13. Wi-Fi is never going to be as good as we need it to be — yes, even with the NBN.
australian culture is having to do this at least 6 times a day in your own home
14. We, as a society, peaked with the Sydney Olympics opening ceremony.
15. Forget Elizabeth, Pink is — for some reason — the closest thing we have to a queen.
I don't think we can declare a pandemic recovery until P!nk books in a 45 date Australian tour.
16. And André Rieu is our king, at least for anyone over the age of 40.
17. Tinned beetroot >>> any other kind of beetroot.
18. No phone call to Centrelink will ever be shorter than two hours.
Peak Aussie culture is being on the phone to @Centrelink for 3 hours and then being cut off and calling back for another 1.5 hrs
19. People who shop at Aldi will let you know about it.
21. Capsicum is NEVER reasonably priced.
22. When "Eagle Rock" starts playing, every guy in the room has to take their pants off on the dance floor.
some of you never grew up with people who'd drop their dacks every time Eagle Rock was played and it really shows
23. Jim can do everything.
24. Our time zones are cooked.
Looking forward to Australia returning to 3 time zones instead of 5. Surely there’s something we can do to make things a bit more sensible all year round.
25. There's no cuisine that's more varied and more delicious than a good pub feed.
26. But you can never leave the pub before it's your round.
27. You're either a Neighbours person or a Home and Away person.
28. Prawns taste a hundred times better on Christmas Day.
29. And finally, the only icon we love more than Steve Irwin is Shane Warne.
