1. Citrus Polos |
 |
They're Polos Jim, but not as we know them (they taste different). |
2. Orange Double Decker Buses |
 |
Stand out in the crowd as a viable means of transport, and also as a warning to anyone who meets that man who says, "Just come round the back, I've got 30 tins of Indian Sunset going cheap." |
3. Lego |
 |
No real explanation needed here. It's just cool stuff, and you can take the little men's heads off. |
4. Dangermouse |
 |
Without question, the greatest TV character and program in the history of history. Better than James Bond, and the Man from Uncle, this mouse is simply the best. And he lives in a postbox. Respect. |
5. Fruit Gums |
 |
Although Fruit Pastilles are often seen as the best, you get twice as many Fruit Gums, and they're chewier. |
6. Oxygen |
 |
Never really appreciated enough, up until now. Just because it's invisible does not mean it should be ignored. |
7. Smokey Bacon Crisps |
 |
Far, far better than boring Ready Salted, and yet not as obscure as Barbeque or Worcester Sauce. |
8. The Letter 'S' |
 |
Without it we would be in big trouble, wouldn't we. Theriouthly, though, jutht for a minute, without it you couldn't thay thauthageth, or thethion, or have any pluralth at all. Thcary thtuff. |
9. Bouncy Castles |
 |
The funniest pastime ever conceptualised. Even funnier when you happen to be slightly too big for the castle, or if the castle as a slight puncture, causing it to collapse mid-bounce. |
10. Pseudoantidis- establishmentarian- ism |
 |
Where would we be without pseudodisestablishmentarianism? Well for starters we would have a dictionary that was 34 letters shorter, although state support for churches might disappear forever. |
11. Sausage-on-a-stick |
 |
How could you even think of having a party with sausages-on-a-stick? You would become known as a fool, the laughing stock of your neighborhood. Not only are they vital to parties, but they are also challenging to eat, at least without skewering yourself. |
12. Bubblewrap |
 |
Often the only consolation of getting a really crap present, this stuff is just great fun to play with. Gets a bit annoying when they keep breaking without popping, but ace nonetheless. |
