whatever happened to

[Lightning McQueen]

Whatever happened to Stereo AM that was advertised in the early 80s to rival FM? I can remember some special radios had to be bought to enjoy it and 5KA might have been one of the first to broadcast in it?

The top 20 (or 40) each night with Scott McBain ( I think Greg Clarke did it for a while as well)

Also liked watching the music show , was it Music express? the one with Grant Cameron?

I thought it was the nightly top ten, I used to sit there with my tape recorder to try and get all the songs I liked, always ran out of tape space 1/2 way through the number 1 song.

Loved the bread, Potato skins

[smac]

The potato skins cannot be duplicated, unlike the bread. I have tried, many times. Any recipes/tips are welcome!

[Punk Rooster]

Hog's Breath had fantastic potato skins..

Whatever happened to.... going into a deli, & having a choice betwen 45 different types of sot drink?
Big Sars, Lime, Creaming Soda etc...
Halls drinks, Scweppes, Coke, Pepsi...
Now it's either Pepsi or Coke

[Hondo]

Sizzler still operates in QLD, WA & NSW - 26 restuarants in all in Australia

Plus they are in the USA, Thailand, Japan, China, Korea, Singapore and Taiwan.

They have a rocky history with a couple of high profile food poisoning cases but obviously still kicking on

Lloys

I could never get my head around the 2 L's...

Johnstone (had initials as a prefix) made their own brand of soft drinks in long necks- I was impressed that I could buy a long neck for 40c, when a can of coke was say 80c-$1...

snips & sunny boys

[Dirko]

Also Shelleys softdrinks. The factory was in Edwardstown IIRC. Worked there for a couple of week when I was a kid, crap pay, but good drinks

[Footy Chick]

Choc Shakes.

The ad for choc shakes! "the leader of the pack, is choc shake"

Frozen nippys lemon at the canteen and frozen grapes

"Munch Lunches"

I think they still make snips - I remember when you actually got sunny boys in the sunny boy showbag!

[bayman]

fc, where can you get snips or sunny boys ? i know you can freeze a chocolate milk & have it like that but that 'triangular shape' sensational

bayman may be shopping tomorrow

[Footy Chick]

I reckon if you take a good look next time you go to the servo, I reckon you might find a Snip.

As I said, the sunny boy showbag only has 1 sunny boy in it nowadays. the only other place besides the show that you might get them is Woolies, in the isle where your unfrozen ice blocks are.. not sure

More of a fan of Razz's anyway
