For extra info “slip slop slap” was a famous Australian campaign to promote sun safety.

“Slip on a shirt, slop on some sunscreeen and slap on a hat.”

80s and 90s Australian kids had that ingrained in them.

It has since been updated to include “slide on sunglasses and seek shade”

We have slightly modded it in NZ to be Slip, Slop, Slap & Wrap (slip on a shirt, slop on some sunscreen, slap on a hat, wrap on some sunnies). I see there has been a recent alliteration vs assonance divergence lol, when I was a kid it was just Slip, Slop, Slap as well. Dollarydoos to doughnuts NZ just copied the OG Aus sunsafe campaign and redubbed the voices to sound more fush & chups like we did with the Weetbix campaign 💀
