I am not talking about alcohol or such that is only available to 18+, but stuff that only mum or dad ate or drink while the kids had something different.

Maybe it was a taste preference or maybe ones folks just didn't feel like wasting money on something the kids wouldn't appreciate, so they limited it to themselves and even today as an adult it still feels like weird ordering it because your great up with only mum or dad doing it.

For me:

Diet Coke - growing up, us kids had the full leaded version, while mum and dad did the unleaded one. These days I prefer Zero - and I wonder if subconsciously I don't care for Diet is based on something subconscious!

Mangos and avocados - these where definitely foods mum loved and she admitted later we as kids just didn't appreciate them enough to waste money letting us eat them. I do think this one was a fair call - and at least as an adult now I love them!

Viennetta Ice Cream - like above - us kids wouldn't apricate it - so they just gave us your basic Neapolitan ice-cream with whatever brand was on special. I'll be honest though, as an adult now having Vienetta - I think it is a bit overhyped! LOL

Here it is if you want to look

The corner of Geelong-Bacchus Marsh Road and Ballan Road.

It is just a camera distortion (because if you move the street view a few clicks up it goes back to the normal 'boring' spelling Werribee), but BOY it made me laugh because the distortion does align quiet well with the rest of the sign, the paving and the landscape around it! ⬇️

Maybe there is a slip in the multi-verse and the the neighbouring Werriribee in the next verse over has come for a visit?

When Best Movie was expanded from 5 nominees to 10 nominees a lot of folk did expect animated movies to be regularly featured in the nominations.

After all one of the driving factors was 'WALL-E' failing to be nominated the year prior.

In the first two years we got 'Up' and 'Toy Story 3' but since then... nada.

Yes one factor is Pixar films slowly declining and losing that 'sparkle', but it isn't like we've had great animated films since then either (especially from other studios).

'Coco' was one of the most critically acclaimed and commercial successful films of the 2010s and 'Soul' and "Encanto' got critical acclaim (even if both kinda got screwed over a bit box office wise, due to the pandemic)
