Hexy pies and frozen orange groves were up there with the best things about high school.

**** yes ! Hexi Pies !

When I was young, we had the Scanlens stick of gum with the motorbike cards. I loved those cards, they seemed magical to an 8 year old

I still have the full set of 132 Return of the Jedi cards from Scanlens with the stick of gum.

Just use tomato powder on another flavour...that's all barbecue flavour is

Ordinary BBQ sauce for the most part, it just tomato sauce with extra stuff in it.

Halls and West End sold a shandy as a canned soft drink. I loved it, my sister hated it. Can't believe my dad let us have it, or that the general community accepted it being sold.

 

[Powerstufff]

If I am not being to rude, just what the hell is a 'tazos'?

Collectible tokens in chips in the late 90s, my eldest son went bonkers on them. The poor teachers at our local primary school faced Tazo related issues almost daily for a while as kids traded, bullied, stole for them.
Some of we older posters might remember the plastic footies in Twisties, one for each club. SANFL of course. Or the footy players under the cork tops of the Coke bottles (also Peanuts characters at one time). Or toys in breakfast cereal, why did that ever stop?

And you held it in your hand?

Brought them (Bush biscuits) back in a job lot around 4 years back. Sold like the proverbial. Funny though how peoples minds work. Got a heap of complaints that they were smaller than the originals. They weren't, made with the original cutting tool. Perhaps they ate them as kids when their hands were smaller.....

That's interesting. We were occasionally given one as a kid and could not finish them. When I saw them a while back I just assumed they were smaller now.

I've been off sweets for a little while now, but I so want a Kitchener bun right now.

 

[Powerstufff]

And you held it in your hand?

Of course I ..... hey, wait a minute.

BTW there was a Toddy too, I'd forgotten it but hunting up the Shandy image showed it up.

I

**** yes ! Hexis Pies !

was hoping they'd be on the menu when the daughter started school last year but no luck

Snips FTW

A Snip and a Bread Roll filled with Twisties were a school staple of mine back in the 80's

Menz Bush Biscuit's, Gibb's pies and pasties, Amscol-'Its a food not a fad' ice creams, Bobo cordial, getting your arm caught in a Pope washing machine's wringer, Grandma's preserved apricot halves(not slices!) in vacuum sealed bottles...served with a brick of icecream from cardboard packaging, fish and chips with a lot of salt wrapped in newspaper, 6 kids on the back seat of the EH Holden.....

Half a loaf and pie with a joking coke for me. Scoop the bread out of the half loaf, screw into balls and throw at people. Stick the pies and crisps into the bread and you are in heaven. A joking coke was any fake coca cola type.

Where I'm from you could go out at lunch time so we would also head to the bus depot for chip, cheese and gravy .

 

[Eddie Dingle]

....chip, cheese and gravy .

Disgrace.

Chips and gravy with a coke chaser and see how close you could dangle your spit to the ground and suck it back up.



Cheese with your chips and gravy, what will you crazy Welsh bastards think of next?

Giving me heartburn just thinking about it

Ever heard of poutine? Crazy Canadian bastards.

I think I vomited that up once...

They copied us.

We'd usually have ketchup as well (we call it red sauce though).

When I first arrived ordering food was weird when I'd ask for red sauce and get funny looks.

 

[manureid]

Hot buttered roll and crisps..staple diet in year 12.

None of it beats the AB anyway

Back in the early 70s the old bread roll filled with twisties or chips was the go for me.
Always liked a hot pie in my face (as opposed to being on my face and held there)

Still don't mind a fish pie sitting on my face but thats another story...

 

[I Dont Care]

I do seem to remember a buttered bread roll with barbecue or chicken flavoured Samboy chips, and a frozen Farmer's Union ice coffee in high school

We never really dealt with what caused the 2001 elimination final loss to Hawthorn, and we're still paying for it today.
