After being in this country for four months, I *still* can't find garbage bags that fit my dustbin (that's South African for "trash can"). Every time I go to the store, I am faced with the daunting task of having to choose between "trolley bin" liners, "swing bing" liners, "roller bin" liners, "vanity dustbin" liners, etc. etc. I thought we were the lucky owners of a "swing bin", but apparently, no. In fact, no matter which kind of liner I buy, it's inevitably too small. Maybe next time I'll try the "lawn and garden refuse" liners. Or just give up.
This, of course, leads me to other important philosophical questions such as: If there are 100 choices of dustbin liners, how come there are only two kinds of pancake syrup? Or only five flavours of ice cream (one of which contains raisins, so that one doesn't even count!)?
