choo choo bars are still around! i had one a few weeks ago. the company who makes sherbert bombs brought the lisence to make choo choo bars a few years ago...For those who have said Shaker Fries. They are back! McDonalds has brought back them and the McFeast. Think it is only for a limited time though
The ones that I miss from my school days are the Choo Choo Bar, Pink Panther and Toffee Apple bars. Think they were all made by the same company who made Redskins. Might be still around but I havent seen them since my younger days.

Toocan icy poles were the best. The ones with the two sticks so you could split it in half and share it...pfft...as if I ever did that. I split it in half though, it made me feel like I had TWO icy poles!

They were so tasty too. Was like a mix between CCs and grain waves. And the advert is still the best advert of all time. I reckon a bear went up to them and they go 'wouldnt you rather...munch on muncheros?' then they all start dancing around singing the song.
And yeah, its like theyve never existed before.

So many mentioned here bring back great memories, but the first in that springs to mind is the coffee scroll biscuit.
Had the pink icing bit on top. So many great childhood moments were spent with people long gone with these in hand.

The pink icing in the coffee scroll biscuit was the icing of god.
Didn't rate the biscuit much... Eating the outer, non-iced bit was just the bitter pill you had to take to enjoy that godly iced inner bit.

WHY would you discontinue them? They were the best. Everyone used to get them as well. Twin poles are pretty good, but it's not the same.

Yeah I always saved the icing til last. I didn't know they were gone until I went to buy some recently. Know if they are available anywhere?

Yeah if you had a Twocan (I think that was the spelling, notice the pun) you were a popular guy!...well at least with one other person.
Tomato flavoured 2 Minute Noodles
Cherry Coke - loved this when it was available in AUS, but the US import seems to taste different?
Red Rock Deli Red Onion and Vintage Cheddar
Someone mentioned Tasty Jacks, which I also liked. There was also a brand (Samboy?) that included a sachet of extra flavouring. Not sure if it was a limited time thing, but it was awesome at the time.

You aren't imagining things. The Australian variant used cane sugar which tastes better than the high fructose corn syrup used in most American soft drinks.
I worked at a large IT department in the '90s and there were 2 guys in charge of the big Tape silos. One was from Italy, and one from Tibet (definitely NOT China
!). The guy from Tibet was black as the Ace of Spades.They were always sorting out problems with the silos, and there was always one inside the machine, and one outside - we called them the Vice-Versas.

Iced VoVos have never had marshmallow for as long as I can remember (I'm 32). I think you are thinking of a different biscuit.

DR Pepper, was s**t having to pay top dollar at the US/Chinese shops. Thankfully Coles have bought it back but only in can form, and still pretty pricey. Cant wait for the 2L bottles to make a come back.
The Original Cheeze `Um pringles. They have bought them back too, once again only at coles it seems, but not the same as the old ones.

Nah. There was a similar biscuit at one stage that had marshmallow but I am pretty certain they weren't iced vovos.
