Another piece of Kiwiana down the drain

[jasonu]

What the hell happened to milk bottles?
For my 50th birthday a few rellies came over and of course I put in a few requests including an old favorite milk bottles. Well buggar me what I got was some marshmallow like overly sweet crap in a Pascalls bag (incorrectly) labelled Milk Bottles. When the fuck did this happen? I was in UnZud just 3 years ago and all was fine! Which cunt fucked with this vital bit of Kiwiana?????

Crikey, you're easily pleased. I'm hinting at a MotoGP paddock chair for my upcoming hump day. And a brace of nubile's.

Sorry, can't help with the milk bottles. Wine gums and midget gems have gone the same way if it's any consolation, all sugar, no chew.

Have a read: Pascalls (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascall_(company))


BTW, happy 50th young fella!

You can still get good Milk Bottle lollies. Mind you there are also knock-off plastic tasting ones out there. Bit like boobs really - good ones are still out there but there are a lot of fakes in the market.

first world problems eh

Post on Twitter - Donald might add it to his list of "things to do". :banana: (or things to do not!) :innocent:

[Grumph]

My wife - the talkback expert - tells me that there was a discussion about just this question the other night. Don't know if it was a friend of yours started it jason...
Apparently there are 5 brands on the NZ market. The ones bought from the bulk bins are said to be the closest to the OE version...

When the international corporations move in its all about increasing profit, and the quality usually nose dives. Cadbury got bought by Kraft IIRC and replaced chocolate with cardboard then also with palm oil. Until they got caught. Now an even bigger US corporation has taken over and the quality does another dive. Pineapple lumps, Minties, milk bottles, they are all crap now. Guess we have to stick with Whittakers for the time being.

I hope the OPs birthay wasn't ruined. And we can't blame Trump. :whistle:

not quite correct, cadburys got bought by mondolez who also own the kraft brand of which the most famous product in EN Zud is the vegemite, now the ausies have taken the vegemite back cause it was bassically no use to mondolez and didn't fit with their dairy queen brand,
pascals has gone to the dogs as has cadburys chocolate, I mean why the fuck does chocolate have to have Oreos in it and now that they have properly (or about to) screwed the kiwis in favour of bigger profits for the parent company then they can now get f**ked, i no longer buy cadburys or pascals, i will make sure they go broke by my protest.

support kiwi made, buy whittickers and rainbow

That's the slimmest picture of a Trump supporter I've seen. Most are huge.

Wash it carefully and tuck it away in acid free storage....When all the others have been tossed on the ceremonial bonfire at his impeachment, it just might be worth something....

Oh yeah. Happy birthday you old prick.

I thought this was a classic example of a moaning bastard thread starter. Until curiosity got the better and seeing Pascalls milk bottles in the shop - yum I have fond childhood memories of chewy milk bottles, I bought a pack. $%#@! Bastards, bastards, bastards they were sickly soft mashmallow like junk that tasted of dog poo.

I blame Trump as well for this.

[Black Knight]

If you are after a Snifters replacement (99%)-New World have similar in those self serve thingies-you know,the ones that spew stuff all over the floor when you pull the lever without having the bag placed correctly-green ball shaped with mint flavoured outside,then chocolate and then a mint centre,just like Snifters used to be,well nearly.

[F5 Dave]

Slack and Pave sell English wine gums. No idea if they are like whatever the poms made but we should claim them as our own.
Worked with Chinese gooseberries.

Try em out.

...it's only as bad as Chinese nails... or the bloke that could utilise 8 gauge wire for most things...mostly all gone and replaced with bullshitters...

[Honest Andy]

... the bloke that could utilise 8 gauge wire for most things...

I have a bit of trouble with 8 gauge these days, specially in winter (arthritis :(), I just had to use 2.0 mild to fix the guard on the quad...

...that was after I fixed up the garage door with bailing twine and propped up the gate with an old driveshaft that was lying in the garden...

Gee I'm feeling a bit embarrassed by the line under my name (although it has been there for a decade)

All I've really done is wire up a pipe and create a 3D expansion chamber to test the run. Only the centre was no.8.:pinch:

Don't feel embarrassed, it's about quality not quantity.
Besides, bailing twine wouldn't have worked...;)

The best stuff for tie wire is the wire that comes with Waratahs.
My party trick was betting townies i could snap both 2.5ht or number 8 with my bare hands, to be fair number 8 does gets a little hot though.
Easy when you know how.
