We know every country has a form of stereotype about it.

I sort of thought of this thread when a few days ago, I walked past a stripjoint with a big sign saying, "Beer and Breasts!" I could only think, 'only in Australia right?'

So how about your country? You know you're in X when you see...

Ah Lemon and Paeroa, how I long for your smooth embrace once more, its been too long.
Actually the best story I heard about that bottle was that teenagers used to get drunk, take their cars and do doughnuts round it much to the annoyance of locals.
Then one year it flooded in Paeroa, and some genius got smashed, got a speedboat, and started doing doughnuts around the bottle.
