    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.

    Good to know!

    Blockbuster Video.

    OMG yessss! This was such a treat. Mom would take me to get a movie and a candy or me and a friend during sleepovers. Even though the candy was so overpriced something about it being from blockbuster tasted better lol.

    Always got the sour ropes and sour gel.

    I liked vanilla. My sister strawberry. My brother was boring, predictable chocolate.

    I was a strawberry person, my brother was the rest because he was our resident food inhaler.

    it looks good and looks similar but that one is not the same as the Super Skrunch bar. It was a peanut butter inside. BUt I will try them anyway :)

    I figured out what I actually love about the DQ meal above is just the chicken and the gravy, plus a packet of ketchup for alternating my dipping. I give my Texas toast and fries to my husband or mom. Gotta say I still love it though.

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

    Quokka's are adorable creatures, at least on videos they are. :)

    I ALWAYS wanted these as a kid when we went to Sam's Club and my parents would never get them. I think we got to have them once and they were heavenly.

    I was just thinking about these yesterday and was going to post them!

    I'm going to start making my own.

    Good idea

    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

    We'd eat steamed ginger pudding with custard at the boarding house during winter season. It wasn't a totally new concept, as my maternal grandmother would make her earth oven steamed spice pudding served with custard too. The hot dessert I really liked, which was different was the Self saucing chocolate pudding served with vanilla ice cream. On cold winter nights ... A treat.

    Aren't you the someone who'd suggested and helped out with a few recipes, even a pretty uber traditional one?

    Childhood ... The Christmas holidays and pudding with custard. Happy memories.

    The boarding house fare weren't too bad. I believe that I can still finish an entire tray to myself now, without needing any ice cream. #Will always remember Ms Dodge and Mrs Halliwell

    I'd have much preferred ours with peanut butter, peanuts crushed, even better.

    Just thought of one that I don't think has been mentioned, bubble gum cigarettes! I used to love those packs! If you blew really hard on it sugar would fly out and it would look like smoke just like how the adults looked. I used to pretend I was my mom. Not surprisingly I ended up being a smoker at a young age!

    Same! Hated the bread. I like the ranch over the gravy though.
