That's the name that stuck in the late 90s/early 2000s when it became a thing in NZ. I think because at the time it was mostly made from psuedoephedrine (which the govt has since banned, our cold medicines are terrible as a result).
Nowadays you see it called meth a bit more but the nickname has stuck around
I seem to recall the name P being short for Pure, which was used to describe it when compared to Speed.
This article seems to back up my memory.
Oh that's an interesting read, I stand corrected.
I can apparently remember an unimportant detail I read in an article over 20 years ago, but can't remember the name of the person in front of me who just told me their name.
This is me. In meetings with clients/suppliers I lay out their business cards in the order they're sat at the table.
Then we all get up and have a walking tour around the facility, and I'm screwed until we get back to the board room. But I'll never forget their face.
I work almost entirely remotely. It's fantastic that everyone's names are right there on their video stream, I never forget a name 😆
