A local netball club canteen is expected to receive a 5 star Google review this morning for selling exactly the kinds of things hungover people want to chew on at 10am on a Sunday morning.
Sitting on top of a small knoll overlooking North Betoota Sports Complex, the famous netball club canteen has for decades been a beloved red brick building that’s very popular with kids who’ve just finished 25 minutes of Saturday sport.
Selling an assortment of twice reheated sausage rolls, lolly bags and cans of full fat soft drink, the little building appears to be a treasured relic of brighter days, when it was okay to flog sweets packed with artificial colours and preservatives.
But this morning, it’s believed the canteen is receiving extra praise from 35-year-old Jenna Tarago, a young mother who’s nursing an insane hangover.
After enjoying a client-funded lunch in the city yesterday, which turned into a few rounds of boss-funded martinis in the early evening, Jenna has this morning found herself wallowing with a rose hangover, and a furry tongue.
But now that she’s just had to endure 30 minutes of screaming kids at her kid Charlotte’s U/8s netball game, Jenna’s decided to stop by the canteen to find herself some treats to bring her back to life before she inevitably crashes on the couch this afternoon.
“Yeah a can of Coke please, a full fat one,” she ordered, as she surveyed the open ice cream containers full of lollies that lay before her, like the world’s most delicious diabetic buffet.
“And two Killer Pythons and a Mars Bar too.”
Looking down at her daughter, Jenna prompted her little brat to make some choices of her own.
“Charlotte, what do you want? Hurry up and pick something! Mummy isn’t in the mood to stand here all day!!”.
More to come.
