How good was the 1-in-2 chance of winning a free Dr.Pepper when you looked under the cap? Loved it!

I was in year 7 when this promo was on and me and my mates would ride our BMXs to school every day. Swing by the local deli grab a hand full of ghost drops (sugar rush annoy the shite out of the teachers) and a bottle of Dr Pepper. Then we would got to jumps after school we could get our free Dr Pepper then! those were the days

In that case having looked in every clothing store in town you can add normal smart/casual jeans to the list. The only jeans available all look as if they've been stolen from a decomposing tramp Never at any time in my life have I wanted a pair that a charity shop would refuse to take. Bring back the old jeans shops that we had in the 70's and 80's...nothing but denim in all sizes, all colours and all styles...fantastic.

If you want plain jeans, go to K-Mart and get a $10 pair. Serious.

I love the stuff. I always look forward to buying Dr. Pepper it is one of my favourite drinks. I even named my Cat Pepper after the stuff.

I liked Cherry Coke better. The wife & I drank a fair bit of it while we were in the UK last year, they've still got it over there! (and Dr Pepper).

Last drank Cherry Coke when I was in London, '87.

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?

you can still get sunnyboys, razz and snips at foodlands

Pretty sure I've listed this one before, but the old-school Pineapple Donuts that used to have the icing all over them and not just on the top.

[MatteeG]

arnotts malt biscuits

Amen Tassie blues- the "Malt o Milk" just doesnt cut it.

Agree with the old Milo bar too- the new one isnt a patch on it.

Also Arnotts Sultana biscuits too. The sugared fingers. *

Victoria still has them you need to look around.

yumbos at hungry jacks

And their dodgy hot dogs.

That's the sort of thing I'm after....no £100+ fancy Levi's just plain everday jeans...unfortunately there is no K-Mart in the UK.

Plan B is a trip to Inverness to try there...it's my nearest city about 60 miles away Last resort will be trying online...unless you're lucky to find some that fit perfectly first go all the ordering and returning is such a pain.

Thanks for the tip. Next time I go to there I might have a look for one, haven't had a Tab in 20 years I reckon.

Also I thought Cherry Coke was crap and have noticed that bottles of Vanilla Coke are back again at my local Foodland (Ridleyton). They also sell Jolt Cola, Cherry Coke cans, Grape Fanta and even Dr Pepper cans too.

[The Apostle]

For drinks such as TaB and Dr Pepper, the sweets shop in James Place in the city has all these...
