DSBPI today uncovered some myths about Australia.
The most stunning myth is that Foster's is Australian for beer. In fact, in this country that takes its beer pretty seriously (a radio talk show held a heated debate surrounding the country's drop out of the top 5 per capita global beer consumers, and how to make it back up the charts), Foster's is truly Australian for 'beer we export to the rest of the world and do not serve anywhere in the country." This has made the DSBPI question if Corona is really 'the number one Mexican beer' and if they really drink Red Stripe in Jamaica -- or Vodka in Russia.
Another myth punctured today is that everyone Down Under uses the greeting G'Day Mate to say hello. So far, the DSBPI has been greeted just once in that manner -- by the propieter of a surf shop in Bondi. This leads us to believe that G'day Mate is this continet's equivalent of Wassup.
