A local Bachelor has decided to drill himself further into a pre-diabetic coma this morning as he enjoys one last chunk of sweet Easter joy.
Leaving Betoota after a week visiting his parents, local man Trent Croker (29) was spotted slipping by the United servo on Birdsville Development rd to fuel up his WRX for the drive back to Brisbane.
Planning to buy fuel with a $50 note he’d been gifted from his Nan after visiting her in a nursing home, The Advocate can report Trent needed to pull out his card to buy a few additional cheap snacks for the road.
Despite having taken his blood sugar levels on a fun little rollercoaster of highs and lows all weekend, Trent decided he’d truly finish himself off with the purchase of a smashed up Darrell Lea Milk Bunny in the servo bargain bin, one that looked like a small mouse had gotten into its right ear.
“These are still good to eat aye?” asked Trent to the servo attendee, spotting the egg in the cardboard bin amongst an assortment of out of date crackers and some Malteasers that looked like they’d melted into a clump.
“Yeah mate, we just dropped that one,” replied the servo worker.
Aware that even with a broken ear, $1.50 for a Darrell Lea bunny was total steal, Trent decided the bunny and some gum would be the perfect road trip treat, given he hadn’t brushed his teeth yet today.
“Sweet, I’m bowser six and I get these as well,” said Trent, putting the crumbling bunny on the counter and a packet of Watermelon chewy.
“How long till the Slushee machine is back up and running?”
