Do You Remember?

[Wally]

OK, so Sandman's are traditional 1970's. What items/brands do you remember that coincide with the same time period we longer have available to us?
Maybe you miss them or maybe you don't. Most obviously left us due to corporate take overs.

Things like:

Triple Treat Ice Cream
The Crowd Pleaser 3 Litre Bottle
Tooheys Country Special Beer
BBC Hardware
Cheese Things
GI Lime
Polly Waffle
Springelex Sports Steering Wheels
Golden Fleece Service Stations
D'or Curb Feelers
Stud Cola ...Unbutton a STUD (with the pop-top openings)
Shelley's Soft Drinks
Fruit Tingles
Steam Rollers (Mints)
Blankety Blanks Lemonade
Rosella Savory Rice
Tarax
Uncle Sam Deodorant
Pea-Beu Fly Spray
Bex and Vincent Powders

and who stole the "33" from Brute 33?

Anyone remember "Cue Cola" I used to buy and drink everyday from the school canteen.

If you miss triple treat ice creams go to woollies and buy a box of Turkish delight ice creams . Can't tell the difference.

I finished school in 1990. If you went to the computer room you were a nerd. It had three computers in it. I never went in it. I didn't use a computer till 2002. Now 12 years later I carry a computer in my top pocket(iPhone) every day.

In my day you got expelled for having a calculator on school grounds.

[wbute]

[wbute]

Actually getting the cane at school! Now that's something that should be brought back.

Innuendo if i tried to eat a choo choo bar now i reckon i would lose a few teeth.

Well, at least you didn't expelled with one of those. I'd argue with the teacher that they will become common place.
They'd agree but the rules of the day were no calculators on school grounds.

Nah, I'm a granddad of two these days and still have all my teeth. But I understand what your getting at.


What about the release of the LED watch - awesome, you were the school yard god if you got one of those (well at least for the day!).
