They don't sell Dr. Pepper in Australia, other than the foreign food aisle? For real? It's everywhere here.

Fucking love Dr Pepper. It's not very popular in Australia due to something strange. I've noticed that more than few people from an older generation day that it tastes like a medicine they used to take as children. Now this Medicine doesn't exist anymore but it was discontinued just before Dr Pepper hit Australia.

So all in all Dr Pepper is unpopular because it tastes similar to a notorious children's Medicine from the 70s and 80s.

Yeah, Dr. P really is great.

Still criminally overpriced at Coles though. Do you have a Coles or a Woolworths near Cunnamulla? Or do neither of them have franchises near where you live?

And to think I wanted to move to Australia. Your beverage industry sounds terrible.

Have they still got those life saver sweets out there? They're lovely!

What can you expect from a country where you can drive for 1200km and not find so much as a drop of water? Obviously our beverage industry won't be doing great :lol:

Yes, we still have life savers.

Actually, the more I think of it, the more a long drive across the Nullarbor appeals to me. That 1200km drive is over a massive block of limestone- the Nullarbor Plain isn't actually a plain, it's an unimaginably large rock where virtually nothing grows. Though the route is pan flat throughout, there are some spectacular views of the ocean to be had, if you have the balls to pull over and wade out across a few hundred metres of prime snake areas. It would be fucking scary at night, I'd imagine. Some sort of Wolf Creek scenario would be pretty likely.

There are no street lights alongside the Eyre Highway. All you look at all day long is this:

When you enter the Nullarbor proper, it gets worse:

And the road is pan flat and dead straight the whole way through:

Bitch please. Australia and New Zealand are the only countries where Vanilla Coke is still available. And it's everywhere.
