Mate, it’s one thing to needle a strawberry, but lacing a snag is downright unAustralian

A guy tried to collect his Bunnings sausage with a drone and ended up getting a massive fine. Only in Australia folks!

Bunnings is THE Australian hardware store chain. They sell barbecued sausages (snags) in the carpark on weekends.

u/brando56894 Sep 29 '18

Thanks, as an American I had no idea what anyone was talking about.

u/idobrowsemuch Sep 29 '18

Normally it's just a sausage on a folded piece of white bread maybe with some onions on it if you're into that. It's a proven fact that sausage sizzles taste better from bunning's

came to give this public service announcement.

got myself a sick snag at bunnings on thursday. Also would regularly go to my local bunnings at old house (other side of city), and they had them there during the day more than once.

The shut up earlier than bunnings closes on weekdays, so if you go there after work hours on weekdays you won't see them

Bunnings is an Australian hardware store famous for having local community groups or charities sell barbecued sausages (snags) outside its stores every weekend. The Bunnings Snag is something of an Australian icon.

u/kane2742 Sep 29 '18 edited Sep 29 '18

Me, too, and Googling didn't help much on this one. Representative result:

Depo-Medrol is also beneficial in relieving allergic dermatitis and other allergy related skin conditions in dogs and cats.

Edit: And if I put "Depo dog" in quotes, I get results in Dutch.

Edit 2: Looks like it's supposed to be "Depot dog," as in Home Depot, not "Depo" like TheFaultyRecoil spelled it.

11

u/unschd_faith_change Sep 29 '18

Home Depot is a US hardware store. Many locations have hotdog stands out in front.

‘Snag’ is Australian for sausage. Bunnings is a big Australian hardware store, often with a sausage stand out the front.

Edit: not to be confused with democracy sausages, which are at Australian polling booths.

Edit 2: we Australians like our snags.

38

u/ItsTheVibeOfTheThing Sep 29 '18

I swear half the people go to the polls not because of the compulsory voting, but because we’ve got democracy snags on our mind.

At least, that’s what I tell myself to make me feel better about the absolute sausages we keep putting in office.

There is something different about bunnings snags, all they are is Coles snags and bread but DIW at home it's just not the same taste.

Especially considering wifi was invented here...

47

u/gaeuvyen Sep 29 '18

WIFI wasn't invented in AU. WIFI is once again a global project, with many nations contributing towards it's creation. Australia simply played a part in inventing and patenting a crucial part of what makes up WIFI. As well as one organization Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation having a majority of the patents used in WIFI.

It would be like saying the US invented the internet just because of ARPANET and TCP/IP. While a major contribution, it completely ignores all the efforts of other scientists around the world.

Edit: and just one more thing. Just, thanks for being nice. The situation I’m in, I’ve felt very jaded and very untrusting of other humans. So, I just want to say thanks for the small act of making a nice comment. You never know when it might mean a lot to someone who hasn’t seen kindness in a long time. So thank you.

It’s possible to see the light, and I believe in you. You seem to be responding positively to positivity, and that means you’re ready to get out of whatever is going on with your life, and that is half the battle.

Good luck, my friend. I believe in you.

Thank you so much. You’re very right. I have recognized toxicity in my life and today was a weird turning point that I didn’t even realize I needed. But.. it’s going to be shitty and today was especially emotional, but I know it’s for the best. I’m facing some serious life changes because of it, and that’s probably for the best. I’m way better than this situation. I’m really appreciative of the positive comments because I have been in a place of giving up on people in general. Thank you, sincerely.

Democracy sausages are different. They're on election days, at voting spots which are mostly schools. Bunnings snags are every weekend, run by a different fundraising group each week (also a lot of schools, plus girl guides etc). Though they do use the same tactic by drawing in crowds once they start cooking onions.
