I wish they still made that!!!!!!

Maccas and KFC. The only thing i will ever buy from these joints is a flat white.
They can keep their grossly overpriced foodstuffs.

Had KFC in Morriset since i didnt feel like driving around trying to find a hot food store or a Hungry Jacks, first time back into a KFC in years. Their burgers and the Twister have shrunk to such a size it was a joke.

Theiveing bastards.

At least bring back the size.... But no other fast food joint beats Hungry jacks's ultimate double whopper upsized to large. It fills!

[XF Falcon]

And the Big Foot ice cream..shaped like a foot... Banana ice cream with Choc sole.... Mmmmmm

yess!!! those were great

do they still make Joker icecreams (bubblegum flavour)? I swear they were like 20c when I was in primary school and were the best

[Wunzie]

I have to agree on the KFC BBQ chicken. Was only talking about it with the missus a few days ago.
Also miss original Coke, in glass bottles with a cap you had to use a bottle opener, or in steel cans that you had to put 2 holes in or open using a ring pull. Much better than the syrup that they try and pass off now days.
And don't get me started on Smiths Chicken flavoured chips. At least they used to taste something like chicken. Not now.
Oh, and does anyone remember Shelley's soft Drinks ?

Hazelnut Roll....I managed to find some of these about 6mths ago in NQR and they were still in date! I hadn't had one since I left WA. We bought every box of them they had.

We used to love Giant Sandwich icecreams too...but the last time we were back in WA, we felt like giants ourselves because they had shrunk in size so much!

Chicken El Maco. The only thing I ever ate from Maccas....At least I think it was Maccas. Spot who doesn't eat much takeaway food!

Portions sizes of everything seems to be getting smaller...so why are we all getting so fat??

[BFZ Wagon]

Original Milo bars. They were sooo nice. The current ones are just odd and are similar to a Boost bar.

Original Wagon Wheels.

McDonald's hamburgers when they were larger size eg. Quarter Pounder with Cheese used to have a larger meat pattie and bun.

Smurf Ice Cream. It was a 2 stick ice cream in the 80's where one side was vanilla ice cream and the other side was blue ice block.

TAB before it had evil Aspartame added to it. Yes, you can still buy TAB from some IGA's and lolly shops.

The original Raspberry Fanta (especially in the larger bottles) before they changed it and then took it off the market.

OAK Strawberry flavoured Milk in 2L bottles.
OAK ice cream.

Australian made Nabisco/Kraft Premiums & all 'In a Biscuit' products. They're ALL made in China now. I won't touch em. At least Arnotts still make their stuff here.

I am not that old but even in my day $1 at the local deli went a long way, $5 and you had lollies for a lifetime lol.

[Cheech]

O'Gradys Au Gratin chips.
Ridged in texture, covered in cheese powder & about 3mm thick.
Used to devour a large pack of these whilst watching the footy final on TV.

Frozen cordial grenades.
Mum used to get one for my sister and I on the way home from school in summer from the local milk bar (now known as a convenience store).

Traditional lolly shop.
Used to be one in Strathfield run by old Mr Keary (Keary's Corner). Complete with hundreds of jars where you could choose a few of each different type of lolly.

I miss those sherbert filled tubes you could buy for like 10c each, oh and ghost drops! We'd pool our lunch money (Grand total of $5) and go buy the WHOLE FRIGGIN BOX! Then mow through 100+ lollies after school

You're in Brisbane aren't you?

Have you not heard of the Confectionary Warehouse in Hendra?

[Polyal]

LOL...memories....

+1 to pop tarts, I still dont know why major supermarkets dont stock them.

I remember Sizzlers as a kid but I think they went bust, used to love there potato skins and Id have 5 helpings of chocolate mousse, with chocolate sprinkles and chocolate sauce!...maybe not such a bad thing they are not around anymore (in VIC anyway).

+1 smiths original chicken chips
hot chips in newspaper

[TheSneakiness]

Tarax lemonade that came with a black label. Used to love drinking that. Lemonade just isn't the same anymore.

[ch33z1l]

Can still get a Polywaffle from local servo.

Pizza Hut in NSW!!

Also a fan of Dr Pepper (used to be able to get it from the servo at the The Rock turnoff as you entered Wagga (from Narrandera)

+1 for the Donkey Kong icecreams

The sheets of Dairy Milk chocolate Aussie native animals...
The bright red packet of Prawn Chips you could get from IGA

Best place EVER!!! They even get the NZ lollies that you can't buy in mainstream stores...AWESOME!

[vibe_xr6]

Willy wonka bars and bring back dr pepper, i can get it here in town, but its $6.50 a can

[a-total-tool]

'Recharge' by Sprite
....Probably the weakest (but the best tasting) energy drink

[Spudz27]

Does anyone know of online stores that sell the stuff we are posting about in this thread? I have an english candy store here in town, but it isn't what I am looking for.

Could spend a fortune here

When I can find it my end it ranges between $2.20 - $2.70 a can.

Me and my brothers used to always grab in 600ml bottles and always ended up with freebies when they had that promo going.

[Spudz27]

lol my partner would like to thank the TC for creating a topic that just cost $80 at the store I mentioned.

I got mainly american stuff, pop tarts, creaming soda, hersheys bars etc etc. Spent $80 because it was free shipping.

Still 3 Sizzlers stores in Sydney and they have just started an advertising campaign

I think their demise started when ACA showed people handling the food and putting it back

That and a woman up here contaminating food...she's in a mental facility at the moment...due for release soon apparently...

[V8 Man]

Chokito's, Curly wirly's, Tropical shakes and sundaes at maccas (there was pineapple and passionfruit I think, from memory), Arnotts bush biscuits (like a malt biscuit, only 3 times the size).

[SEZ213]

You can still buy curly wirly's...! And chokito's too!

Magdala's...have seen one since I moved to queensland...the version I know is essentially two potato cakes with cheese and onion in the middle...but apparently there are varieties with bacon to replace the onion...deep fried goodness...

Steamed dim sims seem to have gone by the wayside too...they now just taste horrible and must be drowned in soy sauce to cover the overpowering taste of cabbage... :S

[V8 Man]

[QUOTE=Sezzy]You can still buy curly wirly's...! And chokito's too!

Maybe I need to some new glasses for my seeing eye dog, I haven't seen them for years :-)

[Polyal]

I never understood KFC mashies, why do you want to dip your potato in more potato?

[Meg's GT's]

Logan Farm Sweet Corn Nuggets.....now *they* were to die for

Oh and thin sliced cheese and onion chips............
Real Pluto Pups on a stick were always good.

www.treatsfromhome.com.au for all the pommy stuff you could want.

www.usafoods.com.au for all the yank stuff you could want.

We have three shops here within 30kms of my place that stock American/English and N.Z sweets,confectionery and soft drinks. Dandelion & Burdock is the ducks guts IMO. L&P (N.Z) is very good too.
Never a fan of Dr Pepper but bought a slab of it for my nephew's birthday recently.
I just wish that Oak would bring back it's spearmint flavoured milk.
And that Kirk's fruita soft drink that I picked up when we were in Adelaide was available in N.S.W.
