YOU KNOW YOU'RE AUSTRALIAN IF: * You're liable to burst out laughing whenever you hear of Americans "rooting" for something. * You pronounce Melbourne as 'Mel-bin'. * You believe the 'L' in the word 'Australia' is optional. * You can translate: 'Dazza and Shazza played Acca Dacca on the way to maccas. * You think 'Woolloomooloo' is a perfectly reasonable name for a place. * You're secretly proud of our killer wildlife. * You believe it makes sense for a country to have a $1 coin that's twice as big as its $2 coin. * You believe that cooked-down axle grease makes a good breakfast spread. You've also squeezed it through Vita Wheats to make little Vegemite worms. * You believe all famous Kiwis are actually Australian, until they stuff up, at which point they again become Kiwis. * Beetroot with your Hamburger... Of course. * You know that certain words must, by law, be shouted out during any rendition of the Angels' song 'Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again' And "Living next door to Alice". * You believe that the confectionery known as the Wagon Wheel has become smaller with every passing year. * You believe that the more you shorten someone's name the more you like them. * You understand that 'excuse me' can sound rude, While 'scuse me' is always polite. * You know what it's like to swallow a fly, on occasion via your nose. * You know it's not summer until the steering wheel is too hot to handle and a seat belt buckle becomes a pretty good branding iron. * Your biggest family argument over the summer concerned the rules for beach cricket. * You shake your head in horror when companies try to market what they call 'Anzac cookies'. * You still think of Kylie as 'that girl off Neighbours'. * When working on a bar, you understand male customers will feel the need to offer an excuse whenever they order low-alcohol beer. * You know how to abbreviate every word, all of which usually end in -o: arvo, combo, garbo, kero, metho, milko, muso, rego, servo, smoko, speedo, righto, goodo etc. * You know that there is a universal place called "woop woop" located in the middle of nowhere...no matter where you actually are. * You know that none of us actually drink Fosters beer, because it tastes like shit. But we let the world think we do. Because we can. * You have, at some time in your life, slept with Aeroguard on in the summer. Maybe even as perfume. * You've only ever used the words - tops, ripper, sick, mad, rad, sweet - to mean good. And then you place 'bloody' in front of it when you REALLY mean it. * You know that the barbecue is a political arena; the person holding the tongs is always the boss and usually a man. And the women make the Salad. * You say 'no worries' quite often, whether you realise it or not. * You understand what no wucking furries means. * You've drank your tea/coffee/milo through a Tim Tam. * You own a Bond's chesty. In several different colours. * You know that roo meat tastes pretty good, But not as good as barra. Or a meat pie.

The lunch order... if you want to order lunch from the school canteen, you would write your order on the front of a paper bag and that bag is then returned to you at lunch time (would be a sandwich or a pie etc) Pavlova (a meringue dessert)... there's an ongoing debate about whether it originated in Aus or NZ Milo... yes, it's a chocolate milk powder but many steps above Nesquik (which we also have) and the joke is that we usually use way more than it says on the tin. Also really good sprinkled over ice cream 😋

[@Dr_KAP]

Don’t forget your money is inside the paper bag! Ryan- unlike the US, we don’t have lunch provided by the school cafeteria every day. We take our own packed lunch from home but can also buy something from a small canteen / tuckshop which was often a once a week treat for many kids (eg a meat pie and a strawberry milk)- no sit down cafeterias like the US.

[@nolasmith7687]

That was a particularly scary summer. I’m just an old granny with Tuck Shop Lady arms and have lived through several serious fire seasons but that one was in a grade of its own. Whole towns burned, massive areas of agricultural land and forests burned to a cinder. We had to evacuate to a “safe town “. That is, one where we thought the fire brigades might stand a chance of saving major infrastructure. All we could do with our livestock was open all the internal gates so they could access the dams and hope they lived. Seeing the sky turn from hazy to scarlet to pitch black by early afternoon was freaking scary. Brings me to tears now just thinking about it. I hope we never see another one like it.

Milo is not the same as Nesquik (owned by the same company). Quik, as we called it when we were kids, is a very sweet chocolate flavoured powder you add to cold milk. Milo has less chocolate and more vitamins and minerals. It’s long been our practice to add about two tablespoons of Milo to a glass of cold milk, then whisk thoroughly. This gives you extra fun, as the old ads used to say, “See the crunchy bits on the top? You can eat those, and the ones down the bottom you can drink!” You can also add it to hot milk. Many Aussies have also eaten Milo by the spoonful, straight from the can! Yum! If you buy Milo, make sure it says Made in Australia, on the can, because other countries use different recipes.

I found my youngest son sitting under the bottom shelf in my pantry. He was eating dry Milo out of the giant can I bought with a spoon. I used to wonder how we went through it so fast. It is way better than Nesquik. It tastes better and different and it is crunchy. Also has too much sugar but all of the good stuff does. I am Diabetic so I just look at those things with love. After you have a baby your bread is never the right shape again. They hug the bread. In school you could only write with a pencil. In grade 4 you got to earn a pen license but only if the teacher liked you. At my school you earned an ink well which changed to a pen in grade 5.

Yes we did have a draft - we called it conscription. It applied all through our involvement in the Vietnam War, and was done on a ballot basis - literally balls with numbers pulled out of a rotating barrel. My brother could have been called up (as in, was the right age and medically fit). Conscription was abolished when the Labor Party came to power in December 1972, and we have never had it since.

Your mum would give you a bag with your 'tuckshop' order and the money for the food, and you'd either give that to your teacher or drop it at the tuckshop. When 'Little Lunch' and /or 'Big Lunch came along, you'd go to the tuckshop, tell them your name and they'd give you your order. For the unknowing, Little Lunch was a 15 minute break around 11am.

Vegemite by the spoonful is awesome when you're sick! Vitamin B all the way! Yum!

Milo is a malted drinking chocolate, unlike Nesquik, it is far grainier and doesn't dissolve in milk as quickly, but the charm of Milo is eating the chocolate sludge on the top as well as the bottom.

Hi Ryan I don't know where to start to explain lunch order is a brown paper bag with money on the inside and written on the bag is what you want for lunch eg: pie, parties or something like a Vegemite sandwich and this would be handed in with all the classroom's lunch orders then taken to the canteen or tuck shop in the school and at lunch time the bag would come back with your lunch inside

School ends at 3:30pm. Most people haven't finished work by then. After school care is a child minding service run at the school but rarely by the school

[@MrRhysReviews]

Before & After School Care, basically a building on the School Grounds thats a "Daycare" you go to after school (school ends at 3:20 and most parents work a 9 to 5 etc. it costs extra though and has a limit etc.) I went to mine at Primary School, I was really close with the two women who ran the place (I was like a Son to them) and was treated like royalty 😅 so I have really fond memories (still drop in and say hey every so often now as an adult) You'd go right after School ended, you'd get a Sandwich/Drink that they prepped for you before arriving, we'd go outside and just run around/shoot hoops and all kinds of awesome outside stuff (usually MANDATORY for at least the first hour or two while the sun's still out and everything) then we'd head back inside and play PlayStation 1/2 or watch a Movie or whatever, the staff would even help with Homework if you wanted to do it there (read, give you all the answers 😂 I'm joking... But not really 😅) When I hit Year 6 they started using the Band Room (it's own building actually) on the other side of the school ONLY FOR those of us in Year 6, it was called like the "Senior's Room" or something like that, basically the same stuff but they didn't care if we brought in like whatever we were playing at home (just generally more mature Games/TV/Films compared to the other building) and just more older/age appropriate activities and stuff, was probably introduced when I was going as it was the same like 5 to 10 of us since Kindergarten/1st Grade that had been attending and were now in 6th Grade (and obviously appreciated) not having to hang out with all the younger kids and have our own sorta "Boys Club" essentially so yeah, a couple girls were with us though of course, couldn't think of a better descriptor for it 🤷‍♂️ anyway... Good times, man, good times 🥰

In primary school you are sent home with a canteen menu if you are going to order lunch you write your name and order on the paper bag place your couple of dollars in the bag deliver it to the canteen either in the morning or at recess and your food will be available at lunch either inside your brown paper bag or with it on top if it's to big to fit .

In school, we do have a cafeteria but its actually not accessible to kids ( mostly in primary school which I think is the same as middle school but I’m not sure, but basically schooling under the age of 12 ) so parents give you money which you put in a paper bag and write on the outside the amount of money you’re putting in (so you can check if you get the right amount of change back), your name, lunch order, and what your classrooms called (in primary school, your in 1 classroom for the whole day except for classes like sport or art) and a teacher goes to your class at lunch time with your lunch order in the bag and the change is either also in the bag or in another bag stapled to the original. Example… Imagine its a paper bag :)) Name What you want to order for lunch from the options they sell at the school Your classroom name ( all schools are different but it could be something like 1A or Green1, some schools colour code classrooms and 1 would = first grade) $30 And then a teacher would go around the classrooms handing out the lunch orders during lunch time Disclaimer, it was popular for kids to have a lunch order, but most kids had packed lunches, lunch orders are mostly used when parents are lazy and don’t wanna make lunch or they didn’t have enough time to pack one. You’re probably thinking, why such a long explanation??… I miss lunch orders

[@shazraff2010]

Honestly Ryan I love your clips, you make me laugh with your reactions

[@mattymerr701]

Lunch order: at primary school, they will have a school canteen where kids put their orders in a basket and they get delivered just before lunch time to each classroom. You write your order on the paper bag, and they deliver it in that bag

I have a vague memory of the lunch order, and the meat pies, soft drink or bigM that came from the local milk bar across the road from the school. Also Fish and chip friday at another school where every Friday you could order from the local fish and Chip shop. Dads seem to be under the impression that if they work and provide the money that they actually help raise their kids. Despite the fact that the kids hardly see their father.

I'm in the UK and noticed that Milo in ASDA (supermarket chain) had 'Ghanaian' on the front (which I hadn't noticed before)? Then I was in Sainsbury's (another supermarket chain) and they had Milo with 'Singaporean'? This "piqued my curiosity" and I discovered that Milo is a Global brand with OVER 60 Milo recipes, made differently for the various peoples taste! Australian, South African, Singaporean, Ghanaian or the UK - it seems Milo is made to appeal to all cultures and tweaked to suit. I found this "Quite Interesting", which is why 'QI' (the British TV show shown in SA, NZ, Australia and many other countries) is one of my favourites!🤔👍🇬🇧

Australian children usually bring their own lunch. But especially in Primary School, there will be special occasions where there will be a "tuck shop" and you can order your lunch. Milo is WAAAY better than Nesquick. When you are raised with Vegemite from childhood, you can eat it by the spoon. We had conscription during the Vietnam War. Not sure if we needed it in WWII, and I think we did have it at least proposed in WWI. Coles supermarket had a promotion where they had tiny versions of different product. People lost their minds trying to complete the sets. Pavlova is a desert made from meringue topped with whipped cream and fruit. It was named in honour of the Russian Prima Ballerina, Anna Pavlova, who was touring Melbourne at the time. NZ wants to claim they invented it... but it was NAMED in Melbourne. Oh yeah... we have Karens and even Soverign Citizens. Thank you, America.... The Woolies Mud Cake is better than Coles. In Primary School, you start learning to write using a pencil. Then if you pass your "pen licence" you graduate to using a pen to write. When I was at school, if you had your pen licence, we used ink and ink pen... not wimpy ball point pens! OOSH (Out of School Care) is where school aged children can go before and after school hours, when their parents work and they can't go home straight after school. They will have activities, help with homework etc.
