  Sprite, 7up etc to us is lemonade. We don’t really do American lemonade the closet would be lemon squash (solo/lift) which is still carbonated but has that lemon flavour.

  Sprite is just the brand name. Lemonade is the actual drink.

His deadpan explanation of the origins of the phrase “Budgie Smuggler” is surprisingly informative and riotously funny. 06:08

Why’s he doing New Zealand slang when we could have had Taika Waititi or Peter Jackson for those?

Booze bus isn’t when u get pulled over…it’s when the cops are blocking the road and you need to drive into the road block so u can do a breathe test. If your drink driving and turn the corner into a booze bus your screwed and usually there is actually a bus there to….I assume it’s to drive the drunks to the cop shop but I can’t be sure as I do not drink n drive. We have a saying if you drink n drive your a bloody idiot!
