God I always get sucked into these threads!

Does anyone remember these great munchies from late 70s / early 80s that came in a black box called 'Something to Munch on While You're Having a Drink'? Bizarre to think of now but they were fantastic - kind of like between Twisties and pork crackling. I see there's a Facebook group for it so at least I know I'm not completely crazy! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bring-bac ... 3939132060

Big fan of 80s breakfast cereal too (usually came with cool toys too) - Strawberry Pops (with a pink elephant on the front), Smurfs (loaded with chocolate goodness), PacMan (honey wheat things - delicious sugar hit).

80s chips: Chicken Cackles, UFOs, Chickadees, Monster Munch, Samboy - Gold and Steak & Onion, Toobs (I know they brought them back but they're poo)

80s ice blocks: Smurfee, Funny Feet, Cool Shark, Peters Footy, Rocket, Return of the Jedi (with a weird jelly baby thing in the top), Kiss, Barney Banana, Sunnyboy, Razz & Snips

Do they still make Choo Choo Bars? And nobody seems to wear Eastcoast anymore?

I can't remember where I got them from, but I got a packet of those from somewhere only a couple of weeks ago.

Edit: Purchased, and from a supermarket, too. Maybe Foodland.

Tab

There is a stall at the Victor Harbour markets that sells TAB, Dr Pepper etc.

What they don't make anymore is the commercials to sell TAB with Elle in them.

Milo Bars are horrible now. I also used to have about 2 drinks of milo a day (half milo/half milk) back from when I was a kid, but since they changed the taste I dont bother (which isnt a bad thing given how fattening it would have been). Milo do however make a type of custard these days which is very nice.

Moo Chews.

[Johno6]

the milo yogo stuff is good, i used to add a spoonful of milo in them, ws very nice.

the new milo bars are average.. i really wish they would bring back the original

[GWW]

Its not just the milo bars that taste different, its the milo in the tin too. Unfortunately it appears theyve the changed the recipe.

Fruchocs I have seen at certain IGA stores as well as Yo Yo's. When Kirks brought out Fruta my local IGA had about 12 boxes of it. I brought 6 of the 12.

you have me upset if a supermarket threw out those cottees bottles. we now refuse to buy those small bottles!!!!

Yep - threw them out - didn't sell them at reduced price - didn't give them to charity for hampers - just plane old threw them out.
I have no idea if this was the supermarket owners doing or if cottees gave instruction to throw them out.

For a couple of weeks I bought the 'new improved' cottees small bottles - but as I said - we were going through twice as much - have now gone to the old 'black and gold' / 'supermarket' brands myself - probably not as good a quality but at least it lasts..lol.

Would be interesting to know if Cottees sales went up or down after this change over?
