I remember when the exciting thing about winter in Brisbane was that Tim Tams and Mint Slices came back on the supermarket shelves!

20c bags of red frogs and Wagon Wheels were my favourite.

I'm mature enough to remember those Wagon Wheels came in those white paper type bags. :D
Oh the pleasant memories.

Summer meant orange Sunny Boys for 20c (later 40c) from the school canteen.

Ah eating Sunny boys listening to the Sunnyboys, those were the days

They were either 5c or 10c each when I was in primary school in the mid 70's. Those triangle of cold flavoured ice and the plastic that sometimes weren't easy to slice through. Orange was my favourite

More good memories. I looked at buying some a couple of weeks ago when in Woolies. Resisted the urge...

These prices/treats remind me of the days of roller skating & the slow song, last skate of the night.

Cool, more great memories. Used to catch the Moggill Ferry across to Riverview and walk to the roller skating rink - but I was into the speed skating and jumping over people who had crashed....thank amaroo.

I won't tell you how old I was in the mid 70s because I'm scared you'll tell me to get off your lawn.
