Whatever happened to...

[dubby]

Ever wondered what happened to those lollies, chips, ice creams you used to love as a kid, but just don't exist anymore?

I think back to the 90s and remember Smiths Jungle Curry chips, Nix Nax biscuits, Muncheros........loved all of them but I can't find any trace of them these days. Jungle Curry chips were bloody awesome! Ruffles chips!

Going back to the 80s I remember those jelly tip ice blocks, Sunny Boy ice blocks (basically a frozen ice block in a box, I hated them), moonies Ice creams, that lolly stuff that used to crackle and pop as you ate it (not rice bubbles), white knight chocolate bars, the scanlens cards that had that really hard stick of gum and some footy cards. Monaco bars! Soft drink cans with the 2 holes in the lid

I can remember the early 80s buying lollies that were 1c and 2c each Bobbies, curls, cobbers

Boy I feel old suddenly

And for the really bored:

30 mins of ads from Aussie TV 1993. I loved the coke ad (4;10 mins in roughly)

[Raidersrawesome]

You are old

Sad thing is I remember buying those lollies too. Spearmint leaves , cobbers all for 1 and 2c

I remember strawberry pops cereal. I remember getting metal figures in the cereal boxes.

What about the crystal soft drink truck that used to come around and you could buy bottled softdrink. On softdrink who remembers the cans with 2 holes you pressed in. Small one to release the pressure and the bigger to drink out of.

Just don't load them into your Johnson ala the funny news thread here.

I can remember riding my pushie down to the corner shop with mates and buying 100 choc buds for $1 and a litre of milk in a glass bottle. I would drink the neck out of the bottle and a little old lady would add strawberry topping for an extra 5c.

[Begbie]

Magic gum, ****, zingers, crazy critter ice blocks, footy cards with bubble gum, tab soft drink, and my personal favourite " toffee apple" flavoured red skins.

[DJ89]

Muncheros! I swear everyone I ask about these said they never existed. I thought I had imagined them and even did a google search, but typed Muncenmacheros, which was how the ad was sung from memory.

Monaco bars were sweet too, basically a maxibon now?

[Dr Zaius]

I have a sunny boy in my freezer

[PabloKang2620]

Crazy critter ice blocks. Double bubble bliss bombs. Snowballs.

[greeneyed]

Lolly gobble bliss bombs? I saw those in the IGA last week.

[Begbie]

Too sweet after a few mouthfuls. Give me a pack of cheese and bacon cheetahs balls any day of the week.

[Manbush]

Golliwog biscuits

[Begbie]

Golliwog biscuits

That reminds me of my favourite bed time story my mum used to read to me in bed "little black sambo"

[Dr Zaius]

Golliwog biscuits

Still around under a more PC name

[Botman]

My son has an old school Golliwog doll that his not too PC uncle brought him from OS.

[tragic]

Peter Jackson Super Mild. Those were the days. None of this bland packaging, sterile named lung lollies of today.

[julian87]

for me, this thread begins and ends with lollies from target that you had to fit into a plastic cup. there was an art to it.

[Schifty]

When Zinger Burgers were actually good and no 2 fillets would have the same shape.

[-TW-]

When KFC in general was good

It's just awful these days isn't it?

[Raidersrawesome]

Kentucky Fried Chicken >>>>>> KFC

[-PJ-]

Apparently you will not see the word "chicken" in any KFC advertising. I've havent taken much notice but the franchise was always known as Kentucky Fried Chicken but know known as KFC. Also on their instore menus and junk mail the word chicken has disappeared.
Hence 3 piece box etc.
