Recognize these?


We've noticed that a lot of common US products and businesses go by a different name here in Australia! Plus, the locals use a lot of different words for things here... rubbish instead of trash, toilets instead of bathrooms, post instead of mail, etc, etc. Here's a conversation James had yesterday:

James: "I'd like a regular coffee with cream."
Attendant: "Pardon?"
James: "I'd like a regular coffee with cream."
Attendant: "A flat-white?"
James: "A regular coffee with cream."
Attendant: "Ok, a flat-white."
James: "Sure."
