Great thread. Here's mine:

Egg Flip Big M
Samboy's chips
Bigfoot ice cream
Tarax Creamy Soda in the brown can, loved it

I too was given flat soft drink by my mum when I was sick

Two boxed junk foods come to mind:

Kid: Lollygobbleblissbombs

Adult: Something to munch on while you're having a drink

Yep, that's what they were called.

when around 8, i tried eating them while drinking at the same time - it didn't work that well . . . . . i guess it was better that i didn't understand the meaning at that age though

When i was a kid, a trip to Pizza Hut was a big event because we lived a couple hours away, and there was always ads on TV for the new Pizza Hut toys. Loved collecting the Looney Tunes Mugs & doing the activity sheets whilst waiting to be served at the tables.

Also loved eating Zinger Burgers at KFC when they actually made them spicy.

Really miss bein a kid sometimes lol

Apparently they make peanut butter brownies?

AU Mont · 13-04-2013, 01:22 PM

Looks like Amazon still sell them, but wow on the total price to get them here...

Pretty sure the Pizza Hut in Bendigo is still open. There use to be one here in Mildura but it closed up quite a few years ago and has now been transformed into a Red Rooster.

+1 for the Pizza Hut restaurants. I miss going to the one in my area.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPobhSvXtDQ

A couple of years ago a TAFE teacher I had said to a student "You should go to one of those Pizza Hut restaurants" only to be told that they had closed down years ago.

AJ09 · 13-04-2013, 10:02 PM

1. As a kid I was over the moon when Forest Hill, Victoria finally got a Pizza Hut. It's a shame my kids haven't enjoyed the same experience..

2. There was a product called Dessert Whip sold in supermarkets ( in with the ice cream ) It was in a blue plastic tub. Sort of a sweet creamy stuff.

3. Large size soft drinks in glass bottles.

4. The original Monaco bar ( as already mentioned ). I bought one recently and agree, definitely not the same.

There's a lot of other things, but I'm a slow typist....

Yes, I loved those too. Couldn't sit though a movie at the cinema without a scorched peanut bar. There's a facebook page to bring them back.

Like the Technical book shop in Melb. Man when I first walked in and went to the back right hand corner, so many cool car and bike books. They moved to I think A 'Becket St lasted a few years and gone.
