Senior pictures. I do not want to memorialise that stage in my life with a full-on photo shoot. Apparently neither did anyone else in Australia.
Health insurance 
Bachelorette weekends.
Recipes calling for a stick of butter.
Ooooh here’s a weird one about Australia. We fill up petrol at the pump first and then pay inside after. Biggest honour system out there!
8.5x11 paper. I actually like it better. It’s cuter than A4 because it’s shorter and wider

Crates for dogs.
