Dispensary Corner 17 Oct 13

October 17, 2013

A pharmacy at Melbourne Airport has become world famous overnight, after a kangaroo hopped into the terminal and ended up in the skincare aisle of the chemist shop. Reinforcing the widely held stereotype that Aussies all have kangaroos in the back yard, the marsupial had apparently been injured in a collision with a car. The news was broken (of course) on social media network Twitter, with comedian Julia Morris spotting the creature and tweeting “Ok, so I’m at Melbourne Airport and a KANGAROO has just jumped into the chemist”. She also attached hashtags #notajoke, #soundslikeajoke and #mustneedaprescriptionfilled. Websites across the globe quickly picked up the story, with Twitter snaps of the bemused animal (below) also giving some huge publicity to Swisspers.
