Pluto Pup or Dagwood Dog? 🌭
Same snack, different names — and honestly, it’s a bit of an Aussie identity crisis 😅

Growing up in NSW, it was always a Pluto Pup for us. But ask someone from Victoria or SA, and they’ll likely call it a Dagwood Dog — both names for that golden, deep-fried hot dog on a stick we all love at the show.

📜 The name Dagwood Dog comes from Dagwood Bumstead, a comic strip character from the 1930s known for his love of over-the-top sandwiches.
🐶 Pluto Pup likely caught on in NSW and QLD thanks to its fun, cartoon-style branding — maybe even inspired by Disney’s Pluto (though not officially confirmed).

Whatever the history, one thing’s for sure — it’s not a Darwin Show without one 🔥
Happy show weekend

Ever driven past that little drive-thru across from Bunnings Palmerston and thought, what do they even sell?
Let us put you on to Crave — a local gem serving up more than just coffee.
Think soft serve superfoods like Acai, Mango, Coconut, Chameleon and Blue Majik – all dairy free, gluten free and vegan.
They’ve also got smoothies, milkshakes, snacks on the go, and the only Nitro Cold Brew in Darwin.
Small spot. Big flavour. Worth the stop.
