Universal Love Down Memory Lane

[BIGGUS 64]

I must admit the knowledge that I wouldn't be paying for the tram ride made the crowded tram an attractive option for a teenager with little money to spend.

Ahh, memories... clinging to the doorway of the packed tram, riding "on the edge" until enough people got off so I could get all the way into the tram. Feasting upon the "donuts of victory" - about $1.50 for a bag of six - not $1.50 per donut.
Those were the days.
(Geez I'm sounding like an old fart now. Oh well, if the beanie fits...)

I remember those $1.50 bags of donuts hot jammy donut goodness

Excuse me ploise, hojonuts have been a thing since I was in high school, and that's ages ago. THE TERM STANDS.

 

[thylacine60]

Poll.

I must admit i have never heard of the term, probably a Victorian thing.

 

[thylacine60]

It's about a fortnight old that's why.......

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Nuh uh. It's waaaaay older than that. It'll catch on, just you wait.

Your great grandkids will be asking you to buy them hojonuts in the future.

When I was a kid we'd call them dough go nuts. Hojonuts is the result of Chinese whispers.

Also known as Isonuts.

No reflection on any of the good local folk MEB
