The ancient sages sincerely believed that on the other side of the earth's disk (yes, there were even more adherents of the "flat Earth theory" two thousand years ago than now) were people, whom they called "antipodes", who also lived on the other side of the Earth. And since they lived on the other side, then their life flowed in a completely different way.
Almost two millennia have passed - and in the 19th century, the nickname "Antipodes" was given to the Australians, simply because they lived completely on the other side of the planet, according to Britons and Americans, of course. However, we must pay tribute to the Aussies - they were not offended by the nickname, but continued to live in their own way, develop their own version of English - and be surprised at unusual traditions in other countries. For example, in America.

Good to know a rubber is also an eraser in other places too. Lol
...I live in redneckville and our McDonald's does indeed sell frozen coke. I don't think these Aussies have even tried learning about the USA...
As an Australian, didn't even read this list..... Don't drag us into this US bashing BS.....
Thank you, Australian Friend, for seeing how not helpful and division-sewing mindless hate-spewing is. I genuinely appreciate your maturity.

Kids in the US have to learn what to do when someone enters the school to shoot them. Your country is a disgrace.
