"I won this cap when I first visited New York on a school trip in Year 11. It was from the Bubba Gump cafe which was inspired obviously Forrest Gump the film. I answered some questions right and won a cap worth $20.

"It is the first and only cap I've ever owned and I always get questions about it asking "oh is that a Bubba Gump cap" and I say "yeah it's from New York! From the actual place!". I was also stuck in a hurricane when I was in New York so this cap has so many memories attached to it. We were on Sky News and everything and a one week trip ended up being a two week trip for half the price!

"This cap just reminds me of this really good waiter that was serving us at the time at Bubba Gump. He was so sassy and so lovely and I just remember all of us Year 11 kids giving him a $1 dollar tip and he was balling by the end of the day.
