Arnhem Land is a very remote, rural region located at the very northern tip of the country. It has a population of about 16,000 spread across 37,000 square miles.

Homer, they are going to cut your arm off, if you don’t let go of the candy bar!

Or something like that?

Makes sense if by “inquisitive” they mean criminal.

Kid didn’t know what a vending machine was but he recognized Oreos. Good job, Nabisco!

24,000 people are killed by lightning worldwide each year. #23 – Vending Machines. 37 people were killed trying to get a snack from a vending machine from 1978 to 1995. That’s an average of 2.18 deaths a year, making this cause of death WAY more likely than shark attacks.

Oreos are great. The original white cream filled chocolate cookie sandwich was Hydrox though. Oreos came 4 or 5 years after Hydrox as a copycat. Hydrox cookies were made with vegetable shortening and were Kosher, while Oreos used lard and were not, because the lard was a blend of both beef and pork renderings. Today, though, Oreos out sell Hydrox by 50X or more.

I have grand kids of that age, would not want them branded as ‘criminal’; not just yet.

How about mischievous?

Would you believe; troublesome?

Hard to argue with that.

But the kid is cute as a bug in a rug!

The poor kid has no concept of what a vending machine is about. Poor little guy.

YES!

Just like dogs; they are allowed to make a bite or two, before they are in big trouble!

Hydrox cookies had a really good chocolate taste though. And today’s Oreos are made with high fructose corn syrup which makes them cookie non grata in my house.
