Do you still remember this ad, whilst Flicky was doing the Cadbury ads?

OMG yes. Seeing this ad reminds me of untoasted Vogel's bread with Manukau honey 😋. .. It is a good thing I don't need honey in my eats anymore. Otherwise, not getting this honey would be torture.
Yes, Flicky bouncing off pools of Cadbury chocolate like Alice in Wonderland.

And also fairy bread at birthday parties.
I made some of this in the not so distant past. It was really good.0 -

Oh wow, this takes me back to my childhood - cream buns from the Rottnest Bakery in the 70s!

I used to have this cake with custard in school and I loved it. I decided to have a go at making it the other night and it turned out just right. Here’s my masterpiece below lol

Omg! That marathon bar I remember eating when I was really small and I could remember it in my head but not what it was called! It's always bugged me thanks for posting this❤️2 -
Make a comeback? Never been away.

Holy crap! I never knew this...thanks! I can get them on Amazon but not in US stores. I'll have to buy them to see if they taste like the American version.2 -

I'm going to start making my own.3 -
I've had a couple of really specific one's that came to mind and then I really fell down the rabbit hole.
- Crappy concession stand popcorn and a pepsi as a "Team Treat" after a little league baseball game
- Burger King breakfast on the way to the local amusement park
- Grilled cheese sandwich with ruffles and a dill pickle, on a paper plate with one of those wicker holders; pretty standard lunch hanging out with my Dad on Saturdays when my mom would go out shopping
- MarketDay stuff - bagel dogs, chilitos, chicken cordon bleu loaf-like things.
- Dairy Queen vanilla soft serve, chocolate dipped
- shake & bake pork chops
- wild berry pop tarts (the one's with the purple and blue icing)
- Trix yogurt
- blueberry mini muffins
- late night taco bell with friends when we'd stay at each others' houses as teenagers - a smattering of 5x crunchy tacos and 5x chili cheese burritos with a Baja Blast for like $6... no wonder I was fat.
- Granny Smith Apple w/ skippy peanut butter (still eat this, was a staple snack as a kid though)
- SuperPretzel Soft pretzels
- Pretty much any Little Debbies snack cakes; zebra cakes, honey buns, oatmeal cream pies

@steveko89 You made me think of -
Ice cream sandwich after swimming at the local hot springs. Man, those were so good.1 -

Frozen chicken kiev! My Dad tried to convince me that they were fried hamsters, but even as a little kid, I didn’t fall for that.

After swimming practice my dad would always take my brother and I to BK for Herhsey's pies. Ahhh2 -

That does sound good. I was all about that popcorn, as long as we won and/or I didn't have a bad game. I would decide whether or not I "deserved" the post-game snack. In hindsight, it was not good popcorn by any stretch. Always excessively salty, a little dry, and crunchier than normal popcorn, but the combo of that popcorn (in a horribly designed bag) and fountain pepsi in a waxy cup without a lid was the first place my mind went when I read "flavors of childhood" having played knothole baseball at the same crappy field, literally next to cow pastures, from age 5-151 -
