A local man can't quite figure out how, but the retro canteen chip cup is definitely making his hot chips taste better somehow.

Thomas Singh (29), currently visiting family in regional Australia, was surprised to find that his childhood public pool looks exactly the same as it did in the early 2000s, he's even more surprised to realise that the canteen has also remained completely unchanged.

"wow they still havn't even got proper lighting in the canteen so it just looks like a dark cave cut out of a cement block! You don't get this back in the city!" said Thomas.

While baby sitting some younger cousins, Thomas was drawn to the canteen by the distinct smells of potato scallops being deep fried in a 32 year old fryer.

"Completely forgot about those, they're practically extinct back in Sydney" said the man who sadly lives in a city where most pool and beach side canteens have been replaced with expensive cafe's.

Within seconds of reaching the canteen, Thomas was overcome with a euphoric rush of nostalgia.

"The smells, the killer python lollies, the faded paddle pop menu....this is what it's all about" 

After ordering a cup of hot chips and heading back to his towel, Thomas was shocked by the explosion of flavours coming from his chicken salt doused, tomato sauce drenched hot chips.

"Wait, why are these the best chips i've ever had in my life?" exclaimed the confused 29 year old.

Suddenly, Thomas lowered his gaze to reveal the cause of his amazing eating experience: The "Hot Food 2 Go" bright red take away packaging

"Ohhh that's why, makes sense"
