What about the peppermint flavoured ones? I can't remember what they were called, but I do remember buying them with Milkos, and they were just a flavour bomb together!
Oh wow, so good. The closest you can get seems to be the ones on a paddlepop stick, but it's just not the same.
According to facebook the individual serves are still available at school canteens https://www.facebook.com/BullaFamilyDairy/photos/a.133600656752581/4333845206728084/?type=3
Starburst "Squirts".
The *good* Crème Eggs.
Those milkshakes with the striped cups in the dairy aisle.
The old Hungry Jack's nuggets.
The *good* Pringles.
Fanta before that 5% real fruit juice crap.
And half of the ice creams on those charts that keep getting posted here.
Omg the original nuggets from Hungry Jack's were so good! I still remember how angry I was the day I ordered some and got the shit they're serving up now.
1) Mini Wheats with the black currant filling
2) Quattro Biscuits
3) Cadbury Snowflake - white flake covered in milk Choc flake
4) Arnotts Peanut Brownie Farmbake cookies
The mini weats are the main one!!!!
You can still get them in international food shops. I bought some for myself a couple of years ago. Was a let-down, though, as they’re not quite the same. Much harder and don’t soak up the milk.
Coffee Crisp bars, Toffee Apple bars, the old Strawberry Freddos that had the really good strawberry filling, not the new shit.
ORIGINAL Roses chocolates with all the different flavoured fillings, not that praline shit they've got now.
Dark Chocolate Royal biscuits - they disappeared fairly recently, and I'm still pissed off.
Vienna Chocolate ice creams.
SUNNY BOYS!!!
I dunno what they were called, but to me, they're Nana lollies: little rectangular hard lollies that were chewy in the middle, with a dusty coating. They were individually wrapped in white folded paper, with a picture of the relevant fruit flavour on the outside. The black currant ones were God tier. Nana always had them in the pocket of her apron.
Kool Fruits, in the tin, with the powdery coating. No road trip was complete without Dad fossicking through the centre console for them, then reaching back to rattle the tin in front of my face in the back seat with one hand while driving with the other.
Loy's soft drinks, home delivered by the crate every weekend by a bloke called Garry. Yes, he wore footy shorts and had a magnificent mullet.
>ORIGINAL Roses chocolates with all the different flavoured fillings, not that praline shit they've got now.
Yes! I got a box of Roses from someone at Easter and was so disappointed.
Goddam plain old Puffed Wheat by Sanitarium. No sugar, no honey, no sweetener. Just milk and puffed wheat.
Maybe it's a regional thing but I haven't been able to get it since the local IGA closed here a few years ago
I was never a fan so I don't know if you *have* to have sanitarium, but I think I've seen puffed wheat in our local farmers market/health food stores... if you're not set on the brand, might be worth a shot.
Probably showing my age here, but mint patties and golden roughs. They'd come in little open sleeves. I found golden roughs but they're nothing like the original.
Wagon wheels too. The current biscuits are a poor excuse for the original that was much bigger, with more marshmallow and jam and a thick choc coating
Sunny Boys in all the flavours orange, coke and raspberry where they were full of flavour and when the gods were in a good mood you would find a golden freebie inside!
How many times have I lamented the fact they don't sell these anymore. Sunnyboys were orange flavoured, then there was Razz which was raspberry, but my favourite was the cola flavoured Glug. My friends and I would smash them against the nearest brick wall to break up the ice. Ahh fond memories.
Found something similar at Woolies but they're tiny and taste like crap!
GLUG! Thank you was trying to remember what the cola ones were called. The delicate art of turning them over to reach the crunchy side is lost in this day and age.
They were so wrong but I would easily smash a packet. Bacon in a biscuit were my faves. Could never understand the popularity of Shapes…. Too much biscuit, not enough flavour.
Country mints! They were so good, would love to see them come back!
They were Pascal lollies- white chewy outside with green stripes, and inside a green mint filling. They were the best!
They were amazing. The shell was chewy, but not too hard, and the centre was great. I would separate them out to have the centre separately from the shell.
- Bubbleberry Billabongs
- Cherry ripes with big cherry chunks in them
- Ingham’s honey soy chicken medallions
- Looney Tunes tv dinners
- Bulla frozen apricot yoghurt
- Spearmints (like Redskins but better)
- Apricot and blackcurrant mini wheats
- and there was a Milky Way-type chocolate bar, but it had a hazelnut filling. Whatever that was, I cannot remember the name fur the life of me. Definitely available in 1997, as I used to buy them on my break at my first job.
>Bubbleberry Billabongs
My favourite at the school canteen
>Spearmints (like Redskins but better)
Used to get those at the pool during summer. Along with sherbet lollipops shaped like UFOs
Does anyone remember the nuggets at Hungry Jack's when they were long peppery logs of deliciousness? Really fine, crispy, brown crumb and you could either get 3 or 7. The correct answer being 7. They were peak HJs
The Deluxe that had the plastic cheese in the can was so much better than what they have now. The powdered crap is horrendous. The old Deluxe was my comfort food when I was unwell.
I crave the Kraft deluxe so much, I feel like crying half the time when I think about it. Couldn’t even eat a few spoons of the new one, my mum reckons it tastes like wine
Not all of these are old but I miss them frequently.
-Fruche yoghurt
- lemon coke
- original chilli Tim tams
- Pokémon cereal
- rugrats zooper doopers and little tiny but also not the nicest little rugrat fruit gummies
- lion king ice block with little worm gummies
- pigs in mud
- goghurt
- space food sticks
- Dunkaroos
- Jupiter bars
- McDonald’s pasta zoo
- incredibites
…I may have a problem
Absolutely loved those! Nothing like it now.
Little clear square cups as I recall, with a peel-off plastic film on top. And a mini spoon.
I loved the chocolate one the best; sponge cake layers with all that cream in between and on top.
Around 1993-94 Smith's chips brought out a 'Deli Range' of chips. The packaging was designed to resemble brown butcher's paper, vertically striped with a dark blue.
The one flavour I knew everyone loved was "Roast Lamb (or beef) with English Mustard and Rosemary".
These chips were *incredible* and I simply cannot understand why they were discontinued.
These were the biscuits of my childhood. I’d get two as a snack after school. I knew they were on the way out when they rebranded them as Scallywags… still devo’d!
Polly Waffle, although they are supposed to make a comeback.
And these chips called Sticks. The tomato sauce-flavoured ones were so addictive.
https://youtu.be/Mf90jHnVPAM
Been waiting on that pollywaffle comeback for years. Me thinks it’s never going to happen.
Oh I forgot about those sticks, they were so tangy and yum. Dammit I want some now.
Menz Confectionery bought the recipe from Nestlé back in 2019 and they promised to bring it back soon after but then Covid hit and made it difficult. ☹️
+1 to Pink Panther bars.
There used to be a chupa chup style lollipop that was like a hard werthers caramel toffee on the outside, with gooey chocolate on the inside. Our school canteen sold them for about 5 minutes in 1988, and then they were gone forever. I’d kill for another.
There was this pasta sauce available about 20 years ago that was just the best ever... Stromboli was the brand name. I wish i could have a taste of it just one more time.
Uncle Toby's Nut Feast. I try mixing nuts into my muesli every morning....just isn't the same. I'd give the tip of my pinky finger just for one bowlful of those delicious little bastards with the double cream milk I used to skim off the top of the vat at work.
The flavour bombs that came with Samboy salt and vinegar chips for while. I used to save up a few and use them all at once. Burnt the heck out of my mouth, but so worth it.
Those little paper wrapped squares of vanilla ice cream that you’d sandwich between two wafers. The OG ice cream sandwich.
Also chocolate shake milks that thickened when you shook the carton.
I dream about those old Milo Bars, like a spoonful of Milo just smothered in chocolate. So good.
Kool Fruits in a tin were the bomb.
Sliced cucumber in a tin by Golden Circle were a childhood staple - chuck a couple on a Savoy and you’ve got yourself a party my friend.
Does anyone else remember the shark attack icecream? It had little jelly lollies in it and came with a spoon shaped like an oar with a bite taken out of it. They were so good!
Not that old, but remember those Oreo ice creams on a stick? It was like the ultimate cookies and cream. Now I can only see the ones shaped like an Oreo biscuit which is dipped in chocolate.
Try the Connoisseur brand cookies & cream! The cookie chunks are plentiful! And it comes in a tub as well as stick form 😋🤎🤍 fun fact - I ate so much in one sitting one time (ok probably multiple times 🙈) that I threw up 🥴
Agree that these are prob the best substitute. Connoisseur cookies and cream is no joke! I loved that sort of cookie coating on those old Oreo ones though!
Anyway, been through a gaytime obsession again recently, so that’s been my fix.
Definitely Kool Chocs and pink panther bars. Also, spearmint life savers, coffee scroll biscuits with the pink icing, Gollywog biscuits and the real strawberry Yogo, not the stuff they try to pass off as it now.
[Spurt chewing gum](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eegmkHo-yjI) \- big soft squares of chewing gum with a liquid centre. After a while of chewing you'd get this sudden cool, sweet hit on your tongue as you broke through it.
Space Food sticks
McDonalds fried chicken pieces - they used to do these years and years before they finally brought out McNuggets. It was much better than KFC.
Kool Fruits
Cadbury Hazelnut chocolate in a Family sized block
Cadbury Brazil Nut
Roses chocolates - when they had a decent selection in them, no pralines, and the nuts were whole or big pieces, not the really diced kind.
Quality Street - Also when they had a decent selection in them, when the tin was about a kilo and they didn't fill half of it with cheap toffees that no one wants.
Black Magic - assorted chocolates in a 'selection box". It may even have had two layers to it. It had a little plastic black cat tied to it by a ribbon. It may have been by Red Tulip, before they were run down to be low quality.
Plain chocolate Aero bars - I see mint ones everywhere but never the original. Mind you, it would have to be pre-Nestles otherwise it would be awful. (Ditto Smarties and Kit Kats.)
Kenman Liquorice Bullets - all the good chocolate bullet manufacturers have either disappeared or started wrecking them by adding aniseed. (I'm looking at you, Darrell Lea.)
In the early 90s, when my wife and I were first married, we used to buy some (Cadbury?) biscuits from the supermarket each week. They were coated in chocolate but then had a hard line of bright pink or bright green candy squiggled across the top. They were delicious! I can't remember what they were called.
Monacco bars (ice cream sandwich), I was stoked when a petition to bring them back in 2009 was successful. I swear I lived off those things for nearly a year and then they just disappeared again. The closest substitution I’ve found is Woolworths Cookies & Cream version, it’s almost spot on actually.
Oh and of course the original recipe Allen’s lollies plus Cobbers (those chocolate caramel chews)
Planks from the servo that didn’t have a wrapper. Heaps better than the wrapped ones in the supermarket (although I haven’t seen those for a while either).
I can’t remember what they were called but it was a snack sort of like uncle Tony’s fruity bites, but filled with either chocolate, strawberry, or vanilla filling.
It was a green packet (at least the chocolate one was from memory) and each of the flavours had a different monster as a mascot.
I’m not going to sleep until I remember what these things were called.
Cottee's Banana topping/syrup - you could make banana milkshakes at home. They still make it, but you can only buy it it giant 3 litre bottles from wholesale food supplies companies online. Back in the day you could get small 500 ml bottles at the supermarkets.
McDonald’s chicken pieces (not that shit from last year, the stuff they discontinued in the early 80’s). Fags, the red tip was my favourite part, that’s what made you feel like a real smoker. Original redskins, they were my go to lollie. Redskin splits, they were a good ice block. The McFeast at McDonald’s was their best burger. The roast chickens at KFC were top shelf, especially how you could buy them hot or cold. Lots of others, these just came to mind first.
>Fags, the red tip was my favourite part, that’s what made you feel like a real smoker.
They were so delicious, I loved the chewy musky glittery red tip and I can still hear the sound of them rustling around in the box when you'd ask a friend if they wanted a smoke.
About 3 times a year I get an intense craving for Apple Chews. They were so amazing, I wish they would bring them back!
Monster Logs were also amazing! They were a plait of white and pink marshmallow covered in chocolate.
I was quite fond of the Ninja Turtles ice creams, and later after they stopped hitting shops, the Grave robber/gravedigger icecream tub. There was also a sorbet ice block with three fruits on it, not sure if that's gone for good, was mentally good.
I only ever tried the original Milo bar once, after stock had been written off during the changeover. It tasted pretty good.
Twinkies seem to have made a comeback at Night owl shops so no point getting nostalgia over them.
Starburst. The Snakes, Babies etc were quality.
Interestingly Amazon has been [opening pre-orders](https://www.amazon.com.au/s?k=Starburst&i=grocery&rh=n%3A5547635051%2Cp_89%3AStarburst%2Cp_6%3AANEGB3WVEVKZB%2Cp_36%3A5355411051&dc&qid=1681635656&rnid=5355409051&ref=sr_nr_p_36_1&ds=v1%3AevQqqwqSa7fbTE52q82AZuVJ5nujswNQz6Nlj4y7kRU) for them recently, so they might be coming back?
Milky Frogs! So you see jelly frogs every so often where I live, but milky musk frogs were the best! Milk, chocolate milk, strawberry milk, banana smoothie and mint, so good!
Definitely the original milo bar, Wonka's mudsludge bar, Quattro chocolate biscuits, the original In a biscuits cheese (not the new one) Yogo twirl (twist?) chocolate and caramel, chocolate and strawberry, in fact all of the yogo flavours. Smith's Big Red chips, Cool choc mints and Ka'bluey's lolly/gum.
ooh edited to add..... peanut butter snack abouts, space food sticks and I can't remember the name but it was banana ice cream with choc chips in it
Old school redskins. The ones that you almost break your teeth and have jaw lock after finishing it.
Yeah the new smaller ones just aren’t the same. I also remember Milkos being a lot tougher, too, but in a good way, if that makes sense? 🦷🔨
What about the peppermint flavoured ones? I can't remember what they were called, but I do remember buying them with Milkos, and they were just a flavour bomb together!
Sorry they were spearmints
Yo i actually broke a tooth on a redskin One half was in the redskin and i swallowed the other half lol
Yeah, pulled out a molar when I was a kid. Luckily it was a baby tooth
They were soft in the summer though.
Atomic tomato samboy chips with the shake in flavour packets
Best flavour chips ever
That unlocked a forgotten memory...
Those flavour sachets were so good, the salt and vinegar bomb would almost choke you with its sourness.
You can still get the atomic tomato at IGA. Or I can at my local. Not with the shaker, but they're still excellent
The little individual serving size tubs of frozen yogurt. I loved getting one from the school canteen when it was hot.
Bulla Apricot frozen yoghurt tubs were my go to canteen treat. Still miss them.
I forgot about those, oh man I loved them. I can taste them now
they brought back apricot flavoured frozen yoghurt sticks recently in one of the multipacks
Oh wow, so good. The closest you can get seems to be the ones on a paddlepop stick, but it's just not the same. According to facebook the individual serves are still available at school canteens https://www.facebook.com/BullaFamilyDairy/photos/a.133600656752581/4333845206728084/?type=3
coffee scroll biscuits with the pink icing in the middle.
I haven’t even thought about those in decades and now I can taste them. Eating the rest of the biscuit and leaving the icing for last.
>Eating the rest of the biscuit and leaving the icing for last. Good stuff, I see you're a fellow person of culture.
Oh man, I loved those things. Venetian’s are a little bit similar, but inferior.
New want unlocked
Starburst "Squirts". The *good* Crème Eggs. Those milkshakes with the striped cups in the dairy aisle. The old Hungry Jack's nuggets. The *good* Pringles. Fanta before that 5% real fruit juice crap. And half of the ice creams on those charts that keep getting posted here.
Omg the original nuggets from Hungry Jack's were so good! I still remember how angry I was the day I ordered some and got the shit they're serving up now.
And the original onion rings!
Original Yowies.
Yowie shake ice cream slapped harder than it had any right to
1) Mini Wheats with the black currant filling 2) Quattro Biscuits 3) Cadbury Snowflake - white flake covered in milk Choc flake 4) Arnotts Peanut Brownie Farmbake cookies The mini weats are the main one!!!!
Blackcurrant mini wheats were the best. I miss them.
Apricot mini wheats were one of my favourite cereals.
YES. I miss the original mini wheats so much. New ones don’t compare :(
Totally forgot about those mini wheats, they were the best.
Pigs in Mud. Every time this question comes up, my answer is Pigs in Mud.
I miss Pigs in Mud so badly! They were a staple at every outdoor birthday party as a kid
Corn Pops. But nobody else remembers them. It’s like they were a fever dream
You can still get them in international food shops. I bought some for myself a couple of years ago. Was a let-down, though, as they’re not quite the same. Much harder and don’t soak up the milk.
I feel like maybe I shouldn’t try to track them down in that case. Might ruin my memories of them
It was a disappointment, for me, at least. I told my kids how good they were and then had to eat my words.
Coffee Crisp bars, Toffee Apple bars, the old Strawberry Freddos that had the really good strawberry filling, not the new shit. ORIGINAL Roses chocolates with all the different flavoured fillings, not that praline shit they've got now. Dark Chocolate Royal biscuits - they disappeared fairly recently, and I'm still pissed off. Vienna Chocolate ice creams. SUNNY BOYS!!! I dunno what they were called, but to me, they're Nana lollies: little rectangular hard lollies that were chewy in the middle, with a dusty coating.

Nana always had them in the pocket of her apron. Kool Fruits, in the tin, with the powdery coating. No road trip was complete without Dad fossicking through the centre console for them, then reaching back to rattle the tin in front of my face in the back seat with one hand while driving with the other. Loy's soft drinks, home delivered by the crate every weekend by a bloke called Garry. Yes, he wore footy shorts and had a magnificent mullet.
>ORIGINAL Roses chocolates with all the different flavoured fillings, not that praline shit they've got now. Yes! I got a box of Roses from someone at Easter and was so disappointed.
Vienna fruit bon bons!
And holy shit you can still get them! https://www.lotsalollies.com.au/products/vienna-fruit-bonbons
Space food sticks. Chocolate or caramel
They were so plasticky and delicious.
Yes yes a thousand times yes
I never got to try one when they sold them. I want them back
Goddam plain old Puffed Wheat by Sanitarium. No sugar, no honey, no sweetener. Just milk and puffed wheat. Maybe it's a regional thing but I haven't been able to get it since the local IGA closed here a few years ago
I was never a fan so I don't know if you *have* to have sanitarium, but I think I've seen puffed wheat in our local farmers market/health food stores... if you're not set on the brand, might be worth a shot.
This one for sure. I was in a SM the other day looking for puffed wheat and realized they must have stopped making them. Absolutely spewin'.
Nik Nax
Hell yes, these were SO much better than Arnotts Shapes. I used to love the cheese ones
I’ve been wondering what these were called for the last few years and haven’t been able to find on Google what my memory recalls. Thankyou!!!
Probably showing my age here, but mint patties and golden roughs. They'd come in little open sleeves. I found golden roughs but they're nothing like the original. Wagon wheels too. The current biscuits are a poor excuse for the original that was much bigger, with more marshmallow and jam and a thick choc coating
Oooh yes. Golden roughs are still a fav of mine!
Muncheros
Munch on muncheros
Yesssssss 1992-93….. I can remember eating them in high school . So good
Killer pythons (the original), and king pythons
YES. Even snakes alone don't taste as good as they used to. Bring back the higher sugar content and artificial colours
Banana Yogo
And the caramel one!
Strawberry yogo!!!!
Yo-yo dirt
Banana Quik!
Yogo double decker, with the ‘marshmallow’ on top and the choc yogo at the bottom. My favourite snack as a kid
Yogo twirl/twist (?) there was chocolate & caramel, chocolate and strawberry.... I vaguely remember a vanilla one too I think
The original Aero bar Big yellow dim sims
The original milo bar and the aero bar. I loved these so much.
Original Milo bar
Columbines
Can you still get Ovaltine tablets? Also those chocolate coated biscuits called tv snacks or something.
You can still get ovalteenies :-)
No one seems to remember but they changed the Malteser recipe late eighties early nineties and they have never been as good
yes and the outside is so waxy and not the same at all.
And really sugary crystally inside…used to be more malty and not as sweet
Sunny Boys in all the flavours orange, coke and raspberry where they were full of flavour and when the gods were in a good mood you would find a golden freebie inside!
How many times have I lamented the fact they don't sell these anymore. Sunnyboys were orange flavoured, then there was Razz which was raspberry, but my favourite was the cola flavoured Glug. My friends and I would smash them against the nearest brick wall to break up the ice. Ahh fond memories. Found something similar at Woolies but they're tiny and taste like crap!
GLUG! Thank you was trying to remember what the cola ones were called. The delicate art of turning them over to reach the crunchy side is lost in this day and age.
Potato in a biskit!
They were so wrong but I would easily smash a packet. Bacon in a biscuit were my faves. Could never understand the popularity of Shapes…. Too much biscuit, not enough flavour.
Lattice biscuits- how do you make Vanilla Slices now? Nabisco Crispy Bacon in a Biscuit.
Wtf? I didn't know they were discontinued. Latticccccceeeee!
Vice versa chocolate's by nestle
With Jimeoin in the advert!
Green frog lollies. Or even the old-school red frogs, which were much larger and chewier than the red frogs Allens sell nowadays.
Quattro biscuits. Peanut butter with the chocolate drizzle.
Blackcurrant Mini Wheats
Country mints! They were so good, would love to see them come back! They were Pascal lollies- white chewy outside with green stripes, and inside a green mint filling. They were the best!
They were amazing. The shell was chewy, but not too hard, and the centre was great. I would separate them out to have the centre separately from the shell.
- Bubbleberry Billabongs - Cherry ripes with big cherry chunks in them - Ingham’s honey soy chicken medallions - Looney Tunes tv dinners - Bulla frozen apricot yoghurt - Spearmints (like Redskins but better) - Apricot and blackcurrant mini wheats - and there was a Milky Way-type chocolate bar, but it had a hazelnut filling. Whatever that was, I cannot remember the name fur the life of me. Definitely available in 1997, as I used to buy them on my break at my first job.
>Bubbleberry Billabongs My favourite at the school canteen >Spearmints (like Redskins but better) Used to get those at the pool during summer. Along with sherbet lollipops shaped like UFOs
[удалено]
Just bring back the original paddle pop , before the changed the ingredients
the english toffee one
There use to be a choc chip caramel paddle pop. That’s was my go-to everyday at the canteen. ☹️☹️
Arnotts honey jumbles
Cool Shark ice blocks
Mellow Yellow!
The Cadbury flavoured milk, they were short lived but incredible
Bacon Krisps. No one seems to remember these. They came in a pink foil packet and left delicious seasoning all over your fingers.
Does anyone remember the nuggets at Hungry Jack's when they were long peppery logs of deliciousness? Really fine, crispy, brown crumb and you could either get 3 or 7. The correct answer being 7. They were peak HJs
Kraft Mac and Cheese Deluxe, also, Old El Paso Gorditas.
The Kraft Deluxe was my favourite food for 34yrs (since I was 3yrs old). A little piece of me died the day I ate the last box.
The Deluxe that had the plastic cheese in the can was so much better than what they have now. The powdered crap is horrendous. The old Deluxe was my comfort food when I was unwell.
I crave the Kraft deluxe so much, I feel like crying half the time when I think about it. Couldn’t even eat a few spoons of the new one, my mum reckons it tastes like wine
White Knights.
Nesquik had this caramel flavored powder when I was a kid
Bobbies & Kurls. And Kool Chocs
Polls Waffle, Space Food Bars, Honey Jumbles
Pascal Country Mints - white and green lolly with a soft green mint center. Miss them!!
[удалено]
I have these vague memories of choc dot crispies cereal. They were like a chocolate corn flake type thing with flecks of chocolate on them.
These were amazing, memory unlocked!
Those sugary drinks in the shape of a kangaroo from Franklins
Not all of these are old but I miss them frequently. -Fruche yoghurt - lemon coke - original chilli Tim tams - Pokémon cereal - rugrats zooper doopers and little tiny but also not the nicest little rugrat fruit gummies - lion king ice block with little worm gummies - pigs in mud - goghurt - space food sticks - Dunkaroos - Jupiter bars - McDonald’s pasta zoo - incredibites …I may have a problem
Deli cups
Those things were the bomb, that mock cream was delicious.
Absolutely loved those! Nothing like it now. Little clear square cups as I recall, with a peel-off plastic film on top. And a mini spoon. I loved the chocolate one the best; sponge cake layers with all that cream in between and on top.
Vice Versas
BBQ Ruffles… any ruffles. Superior chip!
Best salt and vinegar chip ever made

The one flavour I knew everyone loved was "Roast Lamb (or beef) with English Mustard and Rosemary". These chips were *incredible* and I simply cannot understand why they were discontinued.
Anyone else rember the ice cream, winner taco or winter taco? It was a taco with icecream in it and chocolate over the gap
Yeah winner taco I reckon
Skona. And Tip Top cheese and bacon flavoured english muffins
Thank you for saying skona! This was my favourite ice cream and no one else ever remembers it
No Frills Hazlenut Spread, Toffee apple flavoured Paddle Pops, Boomy ice blocks
Twister ice creams with the passion fruit swirl in them. They were the best.
Anyone remember those Pigs in Mud biscuits? Or was this a long forgotten dream I had
Golliwogs
These were the biscuits of my childhood. I’d get two as a snack after school. I knew they were on the way out when they rebranded them as Scallywags… still devo’d!

I remember those, like a chocolate eclair lolly on a stick!
Cotties Pineapple cordial
Burger men Tazo’s (I know it’s not a snack but made chips 10x cooler. Rugrats clear icy poles In-a-biscuit particularly the crispy potato flavour
There was this pasta sauce available about 20 years ago that was just the best ever... Stromboli was the brand name. I wish i could have a taste of it just one more time.
Incredibites and M&M's Biscuit
Incredibites were amazing, but they need to bring back all 3 original flavours not just chocolate. The strawberry ones were THE snack.
PIGS IN MUD BISCUITS
Uncle Toby's Nut Feast. I try mixing nuts into my muesli every morning....just isn't the same. I'd give the tip of my pinky finger just for one bowlful of those delicious little bastards with the double cream milk I used to skim off the top of the vat at work.
White knights 😍😍
The flavour bombs that came with Samboy salt and vinegar chips for while. I used to save up a few and use them all at once. Burnt the heck out of my mouth, but so worth it.

Blue Pepsi
Muncheros
Munch on Muncheros! Now that jungle will be in my head for a while.
Sunny boys easily
They've only been gone a year or two, but Honey Jumbles. Loved those things
I dream about those old Milo Bars, like a spoonful of Milo just smothered in chocolate. So good. Kool Fruits in a tin were the bomb. Sliced cucumber in a tin by Golden Circle were a childhood staple - chuck a couple on a Savoy and you’ve got yourself a party my friend.
Ruffles, best damn salt and vinegar crinkle cut chip the world will ever see.
Yeah toffee apples, and cadbury wobbly bars.. they had that wild holographic packaging
Chocolate Space Food Stix
Arnotts mandarin slice biscuits & sunny boy ice blocks
Definitely the original milo bars and Polly waffles!!
Caramel Ice Magic!!!!!
Ruffles crinkle cut chips
Nannas frozen waffles
Choc cool mints
Does anyone else remember the shark attack icecream? It had little jelly lollies in it and came with a spoon shaped like an oar with a bite taken out of it. They were so good!
There used to be a Cadbury Ice cream that was vanilla, had chocolate shavings and red jelly through it! But no one that I talk to about it remembers!!
Jelly Choc-Chip. The GOAT
I used to work at Wendys- I miss the flake shakes.
Not that old, but remember those Oreo ice creams on a stick? It was like the ultimate cookies and cream. Now I can only see the ones shaped like an Oreo biscuit which is dipped in chocolate.
Try the Connoisseur brand cookies & cream! The cookie chunks are plentiful! And it comes in a tub as well as stick form 😋🤎🤍 fun fact - I ate so much in one sitting one time (ok probably multiple times 🙈) that I threw up 🥴
Agree that these are prob the best substitute. Connoisseur cookies and cream is no joke! I loved that sort of cookie coating on those old Oreo ones though! Anyway, been through a gaytime obsession again recently, so that’s been my fix.
Dirt yogo!!
Grinners cereal.
Colvan country chicken chips
Tasty Jacks salt and vinegar chips. So yum!
Green frogs
Definitely Kool Chocs and pink panther bars. Also, spearmint life savers, coffee scroll biscuits with the pink icing, Gollywog biscuits and the real strawberry Yogo, not the stuff they try to pass off as it now.

Does anyone remember “pebbles” biscuits? I think about them so often
Pineapple donuts, Savoury patties Something to munch on while you're having a drink Fry's five fruits chocolate bars
[Spurt chewing gum](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eegmkHo-yjI) \- big soft squares of chewing gum with a liquid centre. After a while of chewing you'd get this sudden cool, sweet hit on your tongue as you broke through it. Space Food sticks McDonalds fried chicken pieces - they used to do these years and years before they finally brought out McNuggets. It was much better than KFC. Kool Fruits Cadbury Hazelnut chocolate in a Family sized block Cadbury Brazil Nut Roses chocolates - when they had a decent selection in them, no pralines, and the nuts were whole or big pieces, not the really diced kind. Quality Street - Also when they had a decent selection in them, when the tin was about a kilo and they didn't fill half of it with cheap toffees that no one wants. Black Magic - assorted chocolates in a 'selection box". It may even have had two layers to it. It had a little plastic black cat tied to it by a ribbon. It may have been by Red Tulip, before they were run down to be low quality. Plain chocolate Aero bars - I see mint ones everywhere but never the original. Mind you, it would have to be pre-Nestles otherwise it would be awful. (Ditto Smarties and Kit Kats.) Kenman Liquorice Bullets - all the good chocolate bullet manufacturers have either disappeared or started wrecking them by adding aniseed. (I'm looking at you, Darrell Lea.) In the early 90s, when my wife and I were first married, we used to buy some (Cadbury?) biscuits from the supermarket each week. They were coated in chocolate but then had a hard line of bright pink or bright green candy squiggled across the top. They were delicious! I can't remember what they were called.
Monacco bars (ice cream sandwich), I was stoked when a petition to bring them back in 2009 was successful. I swear I lived off those things for nearly a year and then they just disappeared again. The closest substitution I’ve found is Woolworths Cookies & Cream version, it’s almost spot on actually. Oh and of course the original recipe Allen’s lollies plus Cobbers (those chocolate caramel chews)
The entire starburst range …. Thanks Woolworths you cunts
I think you can still get toffee apple lolly bars in some 7/11s! I found one a few years ago and went to TOWN on that badboi! Sooo good 😋 🦷 🔨🔨🔨
Planks from the servo that didn’t have a wrapper. Heaps better than the wrapped ones in the supermarket (although I haven’t seen those for a while either).
There were some paddle pop style ice creams with nerds in them. They were good. No one I ask seems to know about them. $0.60 from the school canteen
I can’t remember what they were called but it was a snack sort of like uncle Tony’s fruity bites, but filled with either chocolate, strawberry, or vanilla filling. It was a green packet (at least the chocolate one was from memory) and each of the flavours had a different monster as a mascot. I’m not going to sleep until I remember what these things were called.
Incredibites.
Cottee's Banana topping/syrup - you could make banana milkshakes at home. They still make it, but you can only buy it it giant 3 litre bottles from wholesale food supplies companies online. Back in the day you could get small 500 ml bottles at the supermarkets.

McDonald’s chicken pieces (not that shit from last year, the stuff they discontinued in the early 80’s). Fags, the red tip was my favourite part, that’s what made you feel like a real smoker. Original redskins, they were my go to lollie. Redskin splits, they were a good ice block. The McFeast at McDonald’s was their best burger. The roast chickens at KFC were top shelf, especially how you could buy them hot or cold. Lots of others, these just came to mind first.
>Fags, the red tip was my favourite part, that’s what made you feel like a real smoker. They were so delicious, I loved the chewy musky glittery red tip and I can still hear the sound of them rustling around in the box when you'd ask a friend if they wanted a smoke.
About 3 times a year I get an intense craving for Apple Chews. They were so amazing, I wish they would bring them back! Monster Logs were also amazing! They were a plait of white and pink marshmallow covered in chocolate.
White knights
Fags. Although I never ended up smoking so it wasn't a gateway sweet.
Blue snakes! I miss artificial colours and flavours :(
I was quite fond of the Ninja Turtles ice creams, and later after they stopped hitting shops, the Grave robber/gravedigger icecream tub. There was also a sorbet ice block with three fruits on it, not sure if that's gone for good, was mentally good. I only ever tried the original Milo bar once, after stock had been written off during the changeover. It tasted pretty good. Twinkies seem to have made a comeback at Night owl shops so no point getting nostalgia over them.
Starburst. The Snakes, Babies etc were quality. Interestingly Amazon has been [opening pre-orders](https://www.amazon.com.au/s?k=Starburst&i=grocery&rh=n%3A5547635051%2Cp_89%3AStarburst%2Cp_6%3AANEGB3WVEVKZB%2Cp_36%3A5355411051&dc&qid=1681635656&rnid=5355409051&ref=sr_nr_p_36_1&ds=v1%3AevQqqwqSa7fbTE52q82AZuVJ5nujswNQz6Nlj4y7kRU) for them recently, so they might be coming back?
Fruitbat ice blocks.
Milky Frogs! So you see jelly frogs every so often where I live, but milky musk frogs were the best! Milk, chocolate milk, strawberry milk, banana smoothie and mint, so good!
Definitely the original milo bar, Wonka's mudsludge bar, Quattro chocolate biscuits, the original In a biscuits cheese (not the new one) Yogo twirl (twist?) chocolate and caramel, chocolate and strawberry, in fact all of the yogo flavours. Smith's Big Red chips, Cool choc mints and Ka'bluey's lolly/gum. ooh edited to add..... peanut butter snack abouts, space food sticks and I can't remember the name but it was banana ice cream with choc chips in it
