So we’ve had so many food stories dominating our media of late, that you wouldn’t have expected the Bunning’s sausage/onion debate to cause so much interest.
For those of you living on another planet, or continent, a woman was badly injured after slipping on an escaped piece of onion. So now it’s an OHS matter and Bunnings have declared that onions must go on first, with the sausage on top to avoid slippage.
I could go on endlessly about this doubtful thesis ( I think that they could just as easily slip from there). Where is the research? But the issue has managed to gain a fair bit of media coverage in the week preceding the predicted drubbing of the Victorian Liberal Party.
Much as I would like to make light of the story, the poor woman hit her head a cracker and was badly injured – certainly no laughing matter. It seems she is not alone:

But onions go on top of the sausage, everybody know s that and maybe Bunnings (big as they are), could provide slip mats for that outside area and then maybe we could all pay more attention…There are so many things I love about this country. An angry backlash nears the top of the list.
