Reply to comment by SARS2KilledEpstein in TIL the way NYC has bodegas, Australia has milk bars. Modeled initially on American soda fountains, they’ve been on the decline since the 70s due to competition from supermarkets by idiomaddict

I got “bodega” mixed up with “botanical” (magic potion witchy store) when I read the headline and was confused lol

I don’t think I’d heard of a bodega before

Bodega are just mini convenience stores. Basic products, not much variety. A few soda options, diapers, cold cuts, snacks, illegal antibiotics and what not.
