quicko: poppers

I just learned tonight that Australian children never (can you believe this?) ask for juice boxes.

It's not really that they don't like red liquid sugar (who doesn't?), it's just that they call them poppers (according to the girls, for the sound they make when you pop you straw into them or, according to the boys, for the sound they make when you empty them, blow them up and stomp on them). Go figure.
