When I was a kid, BP didn’t have a retail presence in my corner of Canada. The first time I saw a BP station was on a family visit to Australia. I would’ve been 10 years old. The station was next to a big pineapple (but not as big as that beauty).
I was in university before I found out that “BP” doesn’t stand for “Big Pineapple”.
Despite driving past it every time I visit family, i’d never been to the Big Banana before this year. I was surprised to see that it’s not just about bananas - there’s also a reptile house with a big venomous snake head on the roof.
Plus a hard candy shop where you can watch them make a bunch of different designs - I think the demos are once every hour or two. They made red, black, and yellow patterned lollies for ATSI day.
