What's so funny about this $8 Bunnings bucket?
- Replies 10
We at Seniors Discount Club are big fans of do-it-yourself home improvement projects. There's a sense of accomplishment that comes from fixing up our spaces ourselves, and, of course, it's a bonus when we can save a few dollars in the process.
There's one Australian store that has us coming back time and time again, and that's Bunnings Warehouse. It's our go-to place when we need trusted, quality products for reasonable prices. The range of items they carry is phenomenal, and frankly, we'd be lost without it.
But there's something unusual happening over at Bunnings that has captured the attention—and giggles—of the internet. Something so unsuspecting, yet oddly captivating: an $8 bucket.
Enter the Bunnings Warehouse 20-litre Pail Bucket. This green bucket has quickly become known as the 'most reviewed bucket in bucket history', all thanks to a series of outrageously passionate and comical online reviews left by shoppers. The internet is buzzing with laughter, and, we must admit, we're chuckling right along with them.
One reviewer couldn't help but gush about their purchase, stating, 'What was life before the “bucket”? I had heard the tales from near and far of this so-called Bunnings bucket. So I stepped up and got the bucket! The legends are true, it’s next level to have one of these. I notice women look at me differently now and the blokes respect me more now.'
Some customers have proudly shared pictures of the infamous Bunnings bucket taking centre stage in their homes—sitting on the couch, at the dining table, or even adorning the back of a ute.
Many enthusiastic shoppers have used words like 'life-changing', 'more than just a bucket', and 'a beacon of resilience' to describe their new purchase from Bunnings.
One reviewer jokingly boasted, 'Now my neighbours get to look on in awe as I pull out the Bunnings bucket to wash the car every week.'
We've gathered some of the entertaining reviews that have flooded the internet:
'Wow. The legends are true. This bucket does far more than just bucket,' reported one bucket aficionado. They went on to describe how the bucket can be transformed into a makeshift drum for backyard gatherings: 'The sound and tone are perfect for drumming ensembles and with a small piece of cloth taped to the top of the drum surface to dampen the sound you have an amazing bucket drum. Do yourself a favour and buy a whole set so you can have drumming parties with a group of friends out the back with a few beers and some snags on the barbie.'
Another reviewer penned an entire poem dedicated to the bucket, waxing lyrical about its many virtues: 'Oh, humble Bunnings bucket, sturdy and true. In your vibrant orange hue, you shine through. A vessel of versatility, a symbol of might... Oh, Bunnings bucket, a friend so fine. Reliable companion, rain or shine.'
The fact that these buckets are robust enough to carry rocks or paint and yet still remain durable speaks volumes of the high quality of the product. It’s also a great way to declutter the home; just one bucket can replace four or five items, saving precious cupboard or shelf space.
This is invaluable to the environment as it reduces the utilisation of resources before they reach the end of their life, as well as reducing the need to generate new materials. It’s also a great way to help reduce our carbon footprint.
The $8 Bunnings bucket has become an Aussie icon in its own right, with its popularity rising year-on-year. Its ability to be a feature in home décor, a spark of joy at the barbeque and a symbol of preparedness when a spill or emergency arises makes it a worthwhile and time-saving investment: a true Aussie champion in its own right.
Maybe it's time to consider making your next trip to Bunnings to pick up one of these ‘legendary buckets’, whether for genuine practical use or just for a good laugh. Are you ready to join the bucket brigade and experience the hilariously practical wonders it holds?
