Very few Kiwis have been to Invercargill, their most southerly city, and even fewer would want to go there - it's commonly assumed to be cold, grey, remote and generally miserable.

This is an animated little 'tableau', with the bakers bobbing up and down. Very cute, though it masks the fact that Couplands' entire output is white carbs and sugar.
