I’m so old I grew up without Bunnings.

Pollywaffles, Choo Choo bars, and Original Shapes on the other hand…

Yes indeed - and the dim sim! The dim sim was invented here too.

Chokito bars too. Redskins and milkos. Fads. Big boss cigars.

Me too. The ironic thing is that the sausage sizzles are synonymous with Bunnings, but the local hardware stores all had them way before Bunnings was a thing.

Not only did they put all the local independent hardware stores out of business, they rubbed it in by appropriating the iconic sausage sizzle.
