00:00 Do you remember mixed lollies?

00:02 Two for a cent. Four for two cents.

00:04 You do the maths.

00:06 Going to the corner shop with seven cents burning a hole in your pocket.

00:13 I have seven cents worth of mixed lollies, thanks mate.

00:17 I have some bananas.

00:21 I have milk bottles.

00:26 Ice creams.

00:29 Yeah, they're down a bit lower.

00:31 I want some false teeth.

00:33 Teeth, if one's on the tip of your tongue, yell it out loud.

00:36 Raspberries.

00:38 What?

00:40 Race cars?

00:41 Mint leaves.

00:44 I'm only six, you're confusing me.

00:47 I've only got seven cents and I want a red skin and they're two cents.

01:14 Here's some kid taking up half an hour, making some decisions about what lolly he's going to have.

01:23 What also impressed me about the shopkeeper was his lack of personal hygiene.

01:27 Because he'd always have a Winnie Red on the go.

01:31 And he wasn't using tongs, was he?

01:34 No, there you go matey.

01:37 Give you a couple of extra teeth, good on you.

01:39 Here we go.
