Christmas Island? Yeah, Christmas Island is correct and perhaps the more obvious one. Naura is incorrect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naura is incorrect! Yeah thought so... It just gets quite a bit coverage here as that's where they dump refugees and we had a few of them being sent from Nauru to Cambodia as the latter made agreements with Australia to accept their refugees and get paid for it... Save to say all of those who were relocated here have already left back to their home countries. Anyway. Papua New Guinea probably doesn't count either?

Are we before or after christ? Looking at the ingredients my first thought was China, and given their continuity as a civilization they're also a good odds choice I think. Lock in China.

Beelzebub 2,508 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 It seems like a thing that many civilizations invented on their own in their own way. Egyptians were the first i reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry 1,437 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I reckon it was around the 10th century AD, but the practice didn't make it to England until the late 2000's... Hopefully soon the English modernize away from the salt, pepper and flowers concoction in favor of a fluoride containing product and their dental hygiene moves forward another step.

Harry 1,437 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 It's either C or D. Definitely Haiti I know well and I'm pretty sure CAR is a crazy green striped one a bit like zimbabwe.
