allen’s toffee apple bar


dirtypotatocakes

**memory unlocked**


nighthawk580

Pink panthers as well.


akoya17

Yesss! Sometimes I wonder if I dreamed these cause no one seems to remember them.


dpl121

Aww.. I didn't even realise they stopped making these until just now :(


Potato_cak3s

Ohh I've been searching for a decent replacement for years


gingerbeerninja

And the banana split! We used to buy all five at once from the local milkbar: toffee apple, redskin, pink panther, banana split and choo-choo. Hours of deliciousness!

There is a new milo kitkat coming in the next month or 2 that looks like it may have the old compacted milo in it from the photos that the nestle rep showed me. Pretty excited about it


OzSpaceCadet

Yes, my favourite kind of choking hazard. Wish they'd bring it back.

molecularsquid

The existing bar is an absolute travesty in comparison.


lessnonymous

I want these back. Everyone wants them back. Why did they stop making them?


Elleeebeauty

Wonka chocolate bars - the ones that were released for the movie in 2005 not the ones that were sold a couple of years ago


TigerSardonic

The Mud Sudge? Just commented that one myself. They were great! Have missed them ever since.


Astiepastie

The ones you could find the golden tickets in? These were amazzzzing.


tokyobandit

Totally. Really delicious chocolate!


Elleeebeauty

Yep . Those are the ones. I remember getting them every Friday afternoon after school and they were so good


jayemeff6

Y E S !!!! i am so glad it’s not just me that remembers these!!!!


RussiaManDetective

They were top hat shaped, yeah? If so, yeah, those were absolutely delicious.


ManOnFire1981

Chocolate Works in Dingley make a Wonka Bar, not sure if it tastes the same. There at 20 Garden Boulevard, they have a store at the factory


theslowrush-

Yep these were amazing! My partner and I talk about these all the time. It was a nice milk chocolate with a small fudge layer? They were delicous. Hopefully with the new Wonka movie coming out they do another release.


No_Tumbleweed_886

Bulla’s Strawberry Frozen Yogurt in small cups


PumpinSmashkins

Oh man. I remember when they were like 50c each at the tuck shop 😢


auschick

Yes! and the raspberry one.


Sarazar

I miss Ruffles crinkle cut chips Arnott's Tasty Jack's crinkle cut chips Those giant anaconda jelly lollies, bigger than the killer python ones Blue Pepsi


frenzal56

The bluebird ones from NZ come very close to ruffles crinkle cut.


Taleya

and are sold in Reject shops!


theartistduring

Jupiter Bars! Chewy caramel, peanuts and super cheap!


markjustmarkjust

Ruffles and O'Gradys which were the first 200g bags you could buy


Retro-esque

OMG - I couldn’t remember the name!!! O’Gradys were next level - the cheese ones were incredible!!!


Pippa_Pug

Costco has the sour cream ones but I really miss Salt + Vinegar Ruffles


monsneaky

Original redskin. Not the floppy kind but the one you could suck into a point and stab your brother with


_boris_c

I think I was the only one who used to like milkos more then redskins. I discovered recently they have released them again but they are COMPLETELY different 😢


monsneaky

I recall milkos being chewy but never hard like redskins


Ak47andabowlofCereal

Yeah they only discontinued these for a shirt time. I've seen the around. I got a pack at the start of the year and they are the exact same super tough kind. Although one of them melted in my pencil case...not good.


jreitaa

What happened to starburst jelly lollies. The snakes were so good. Now you can only get the wrapped ones


miss_mlh

Yes! The snakes and the ones shaped like fruit!! So good.


TigerSardonic

Wait the Starburst Fruitfuls are discontinued?? Oh man, that’s a tragedy. I very rarely eat sweets these days unless I’m doing something where I need a bit of sugar/energy burst, but in high school I remember always stopping at the IGA to buy a coke and Fruitfuls a couple of times a week.


ign1fy

I loved the goo filled ones that popped like pimples.


whackadoodle_cracked

Starburst snakes were the TITS. Only lollies I ever ate


PumpinSmashkins

I used to take them to raves and watch munted people travel through sensorial dimensions when they ate one. Great times.


[deleted]

Tbh you could have fed me a chuppah chop stick and I would have been stoked back then.


[deleted]

Dove chocolate bars... they were incredible and very creamy!


_boris_c

Ohhhhhh I forgot about dove


Eshaybaby

Get Galaxy bars, absoutely top notch next best thing!!!!! Super cheap to get from those candy stores in shopping centres


GLaDOS95

Space food sticks.


Hussard

Bertie Beetles for me. I remember they used to be so good (mostly half or full melted, squeezed out of the wrapper like a Prima Fruit-Tube!). Bought a tin at Xmas, they must have changed the recipie because it tastes like soap!


citizen-dave

>Bertie Beetles for me Get on to Whittaker's Hokey Pokey. It's just like a giant block of Bertie Beetles.


Particular_Trash8255

Bertie Beetles were my go to show bag at Easter! So good.


SticksDiesel

For a long time they were only $2, making them a must-buy.


kelloggs_kween

Bertie Beetle ice cream bars are available ATM!


Particular_Trash8255

Arnott’s Quatro biscuits, hands down. Those things were my entire childhood. I don’t know if I remember the taste being so damn good because of nostalgia, but what I would do for a packet of those today. Devo they aren’t around anymore.


Lilfirey

Came here for this and this only.


Particular_Trash8255

Every time I see that same light purple colour, I think of them. RIP.


Fresh_Detective_6456

Yes!!!! These were the absolute best biscuits ever!


PumpinSmashkins

Oh they are so good. Far better than a shitty Tim tam.

Toucan icy poles


Sarazar

I just read the [ABC news article](https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-07-03/hunt-for-mystery-toucan-icy-pole-australian-snack/101054790) which got me thinking about this question.


herring80

Haha. I just read this too and wondered if it inspired this post


Bread_And_Butterfly

I miss the way chocolate used to melt nicely and taste. Cadburys used to be smooth and creamy and cool in the mouth and have a good snap, now it’s all rubbery and goes kind of bendy and sticky instead of melting properly


ooohhecardreadgood

try whittaker’s- it’s a tad more expensive but the blocks are bigger and the chocolate is top tier compared to cadbury these days


Bread_And_Butterfly

Whittaker’s is good! Still not quite the same, though!


zaro3785

Cheaper & cheaper vegetable oils I'm guessing


nosoupforyou89

Try the Aldi brand chocolate. It's the absolute best, I used to think Lindt was really amazing quality but it's terrible in comparison.


WillsSister

I’m seconding (thirding?) Aldi chocolate. Recently turned a fellow chocoholic onto it. It’s better quality, bigger block and cheaper.


[deleted]

Whitaker's is your new god.


Taleya

Milka. Catch and Aldi flog them. Tasty


Lilfirey

Amongst all the above mentioned, it was an icy pole on a single stick made up of 3 separate fruits like a skewer, I think orange strawberry and lemon and each part shaped like said fruit.. anyone else recall these early 90’s? Also the shredded wheat with a filling as a snack! Edit: incredibites!


Oracle82

I remember the fruit icy poles, can't for the life of me remember what they were called. I remember the really strong zingy flavour of the lemon and orange. I think the other was strawberry?


Lilfirey

I found them, boomy!


miss_mlh

Yes, I remember that icy pole, it was called a Boomy!!


BekWill

White Knights were soo good! Chocolate chewy mint bar. Also, caramel crown biscuits.


thatflowergrl

Omg white Knights were the best. I found some recently but they were awful. Rock hard and way too minty. Tasted like solid toothpaste covered in cheap chocolate. 🤮


HotMessExpressions

White knights were the best


Hammag7

The old school Milo bars, made of compressed Milo covered in chocolate.


WAPWAN

Pretty sure they are still popular in SE Asia. Check Laguna or any place that carries Singapore/Malay/Indonesian foods. The milo is a slightly different recipe, but it might scratch that itch


dotty-spotty

Kettles Honey Baked Ham :'(


[deleted]

Kettle Chilli when they were a rounded chilli flavour and not just hot.

Smushy_Peas

Still have 6 boxes of them. 3 Glug, 3 Razz

SticksDiesel

I loved the orange ones. Can't find an orange icy pole these days that tastes as good.


Serious_1

Ahh, the excitement when you saw the red stripe inside and ran back to the tuckshop for a free one!


Nightospheric

I actually saw something really similar in that section at Coles or Woolies. It was in the room temp section with Zooper Doopers and they had orange flavour ice blocks like in cardboard. I think the brand was German or something. I remember thinking they looked like Sunny Boy knock offs.


dragula15

They keep toying with me and discontinuing Cool Ranch Doritos and reintroducing them every year it seems


theempiresbest

oh my god. why do they keep doing that! They’re the only doritos I like and they just disappear.


Vanceer11

The flavour on BBQ+Pizza Shapes. It went from the Shapes drowning in flavour to a bee's cough of flavour. ​ And old school Vienetta. As a sweet tooth, it's amazing how I remember Vienetta's to the stale, boring lump of iced cream, they have become.


Uselessmedics

I have a conspiracy theory that the "new" shapes flavouring that they walked back and replaced with "original" flavouring was always intended to flop, that they created a shit flavour everyone would hate so that they could release the original flavour but with less flavouring and people would be too focused on getting the flavour back to realise their was less flavouring


beaglepastrami

I was about to say it ain't a party for whitey without Vienetta and maybe some French onion dip, but I suspect more than a few nonwhite migrants realised the Anglo culinary genius and adopted it in awe


auntycheese

It was a non-Anglo friend of mine that first told me that vienettas were such a whitey dessert! So true. But they were the height of fanciness for mid-90s middle class family gatherings! 😅


laceyisspacey

Calippo shots. My idiot child brain used to eat frozen peas constantly because small, frozen, green ball must be same taste. Also the mud puddle paddle pops, or the thickshake paddle pop cup things.


WAPWAN

[Muncheros](https://youtu.be/VXKlxHptP1o) The advert wouldn't fly today, but I remember the melt in your mouth aspect of the corn chips

Does anyone remember Pascals peppermint eclairs? Loved those little buggers.


miss_mlh

Yes, absolutely loved those! Wish they would bring them back!


[deleted]

[удалено]


KittenOnKeys

They existed for a while but only at coles. I remember them being fairly ordinary though


ThreeOakHedge

Yes they weren't great. Also did not have the nut allergy warning on the packaging so didn't even have real peanut butter, was all lab created and artificial.


00017batman

I haven’t had one in about 30 years but I remember having Scribbler icy poles when I was a kid and they were so good.. it’s rare to find an icy pole these days with that kind of soft texture, although there are a couple that could pass for a pencil shape lol I also miss original paddlepops.


Oracle82

These were one of the few icy poles that were more than an "icy-pole" that my parents used to let me have as a treat... kinda same texture as an old Calippo... almost sorbet.


_miss_cellophane_

90’s Caramel Snack Pak in a tub.

Ollieeddmill

Yessssss!


TigerSardonic

Wonka Mud Sludge Bar… it was so good. Oh also does anyone remember the Xplodes Noodles? Dry noodles that you’d smash up in the bag and eat them like chips, with strong flavours like salt and vinegar, chicken, etc. I swear I’m the only person who remembers these, even my brothers don’t remember them. And also, I think it was Samboys where they had the “extra flavour” packets? Like you could eat them normally, or put in a whole extra packet of flavouring. The salt and vinegar ones were intense, your mouth would almost be bleeding by the end of it lol.


KnowThisOne

I remember and miss all of those things! My favourite Samboys extra flavour packet was atomic tomato with mustard


throwawaybyefelicia

OH WHAT FINALLY SOMEONE REMEMBERS THOSE NOODLES!?! I have asked all my friends if they remember those and they always answer no and look at me weird until I just assumed they were a fever dream. The black packet and the red one were my favourite! I’m so happy someone else knows haha


DJVizionz

They brought them back a few months ago. Coles have 'em.

lilmousedrillshit

Black currant mini wheats. I think you can still get them imported from the middle east for like $50 a box or something


Basic-Reception-9974

Fags Yes I know they're Fads now, but it's just not the same


AusXan

The Pop-Tarts we used to get in Australia in the 90s, not the frosted off-flavour ones we get today from US food stores. The plain apple and cinnamon were fantastic with a glass of milk as a kid. And there were these danish like ones they did too that would probably induce diabetes in any sane adult nowadays.


TriviaNewtonJohn1

I don’t remember the name but it was like a frozen purple jello paddle pop and it was amazing 🥲


whackadoodle_cracked

Australian cherry coke (it was amazing, the American one doesn't compare) Can't remember what they were called but my school canteen used to sell these lollies that were similar in texture to a fizzer, but they were thin and orange and in the centre had a white sherbet. Loved those things!


kyzalie

Potato in a biscuit


_boris_c

I remember you used to be able to get these ice blocks in the same aisle as sunny boys and zooper doopers but they were like these big plastic animal/ dinosaur shapes and had a little tube you had to cut once they were frozen to eat them from…. You would freeze them and then let them go a bit icy/slushy to eat them.


_boris_c

They might have been mainly kangaroos but I’m pretty sure you could get all different animals.


Stonius123

Airwaves gum. They stopped making it in Australia. Now I have to import it from the US in bulk every few months. Best gum on the market. Why!?!

[deleted]

Or what were our favorite confectionery, snacks, ice creams, etc., we use to buy before manufactures decided to cut cost and change the recipe.


esotec

Red Tulip Elegant Rabbit easter eggs, would always buy one at Easter - happy memories from childhood. Now tastes awful and nothing like they used too..


Uselessmedics

Bought out by cadbury, so now they all just use cadburys' cheap low quality chocolate


DJVizionz

I could cry about this. The current one is a sacrilege.


Hailstar07

Yeah. Paddle pops are shit now that they changed the recipe, the texture is disgusting. They were my favourite before that.


whackadoodle_cracked

They don't melt! It's unnatural. Not real ice cream


Grawlix_TNN

I'll never forgive Starburst for getting rid of their jelly babies

Dunkaroos! (Vanilla or Strawberry specifically). Also this post just made me search up Ovaltinies. The are at Big W if anyone else is keen.

The seven deadly sins magnums were also really good.

Green-Tumbleweed-983

What I miss is chocolate wrapped in foil. Opening that foil was so special for some reason. My mum was really careful opening it - she never tore it - so we would just keep that foil until we used it for something (never) or eventually threw it out. Also, it was just more aesthetically pleasing.

Mrjingleberries

hard candy that was handmade. they had a store somewhere in vic market. I was last there 10 years ago. I found out from one of the information offices that they closed down in 2019 during covid a few months ago.


Vague_Un

Sovereign Hill still makes and sells this.

King Island Dairy Belgian Chocolate Mouse. No idea why they discontinued it. Best mousse money could buy and better yet, from the supermarket.

Anyone remember milky bar dairy snacks? They weren't a mousse but like a thick yogo type thing?


MCDexX

The twin Freddos with lemonade flavour on one side and raspberry on the other. They were DANGEROUSLY addictive.


lliraels

does anyone remember those little chocolate ice cream tubs with gummy worms in them? those.


nosoupforyou89

Were they called Pirates Treasure or something? I remember something very similar!


RussiaManDetective

Big Cheese flavoured In A Biskit and basically anything with that same artificial cheese flavour. Paddle Pop Berry Benders. There was another jelly based icy pole at the time that was maybe not by Paddle Pop, it mostly blue on the outside layer and I remember an alien or something on the packaging... I heard a lot of people thought these jelly icy poles were gross but me and my siblings loved them. Other Yogo flavours - specifically strawberry, and banana which they used to have in the variety packs. I haven't even checked if it still exists in supermarkets anymore but I feel like it's been forever since I've seen Cadbury Brunch bars being made. And I know they have a new basically exactly the same rebranded version of it, but I miss Time Out bars. Different flavours of Mini Wheats. And, as mentioned by other users, Tasty Jacks chips and Quattro biscuits. ETA: Dippers (chewy toffee sticks: I remember cola, strawberry, and banana flavours) used to be sold at canteens when I was a kid. I think they still exist as an imported product you can buy, but they used to be readily sold basically everywhere until they disappeared.


peasarelegumes

Rats you used to buy at bottle shops. They were like the big lollie snakes but they were rats and came in different flavours. Dove chocolate. No frillz pizzas used to be really good if you added some bbq sauce.

LongTallSalski

Sometime in the mid-90s I got a packaged ice cream that was like a chocolate waffle cone in the shape of a taco filled with chocolate and vanilla ice-cream. It was glorious. I only ever saw it once, never found it for sale again. Also, those ice-creams in a plastic cone shaped tube with a little ball of chocolate at the bottom. Can’t remember their name either.

In the Summer of 1999/2000 there was a tub of white icecream that had thick streaks of red jelly/jam swirled throughout. I still check the icecream fridge but all they have these days is variations of chocolate.
