    1. Sausage sizzles in hotdog buns.

    Fox / Via instagram.com

    THAT'S NOT WHAT THAT IS.

    2. Free tomato sauce.

    Paramount Pictures

    What do you mean I don't have to pay an extra $0.20? Is it poison?

    3. Cocktails being two-for-one, and they're actually drinkable.

    Fox

    "Actually, the more you drink, the better it tastes," he said after 12 drinks.

    4. Or finding a bottle-o with affordable booze.

    Roc Nation / Westbury Road

    Vodka for $15? I mean it sounds like the best deal of my life, but also sounds like my life will end before the vodka does.

    5. An actually good data plan.

    Frederator Studios

    Gotta love those texts the day before your plan renews telling you they auto-charged you for more data! GOTTA. LOVE. THAT.

    6. Or your Wi-Fi working flawlessly.

    youtu.be

    Are you telling me movies are just supposed to automatically load and play without buffering? LOL, sounds fake.

    7. Getting a film released in Australia before the rest of the world.

    Universal Pictures

    If we get it first, does it mean it's shit???

    8. House hunting and finding a place that's actually nice, AND affordable.

    Fox

    Hahahahaha, no that is a murder house.

    9. Or even just affordable.

    NBC

    Hahahahaha, no. Seriously, that is a murder house.

    10. Trains running on time.

    Netflix

    Sorry I'm late but my train was - oh no one else is here either.

    WHICH IS IT?

    12. Knowing who the prime minister is for longer than six months.

    ABC

    13. Cheap petrol.

    The CW

    This is just burger grease, isn't it?

    14. Or cheap movie tickets.

    Fox

    If it doesn't cost you $80 for two tickets and a small popcorn, is it even the movies?
