We say cotton candy, they say fairy floss (my favorite!) 7. We say cookies, they say biscuits 8. We say soda or pop, they say soft drink 9. We say peppers, they say capsicum 10. We say flip-flops, they say thongs 11. We say couch, they say lounge 12. We say markers, they say texters 13. We say granola bar, they say muesli 14. We say chips, they say crisps 15. We say french fries, they say chips 16. We say frosting, they say icing 17. We say crib, they say cot 18. We say take turns, they say have a go! 19. We say very good, they say very nice! 20.
