End of line for iconic Kiwi lollies

[Cajun]

The Snifter has snuffed it.

And there's rumours that the Jaffa, New Zealand's best-loved chocolate- orange mouthful, will only be available in plastic bags.

Crunchy boiled Sparkles and multi- coloured Tangy Fruit are also casualties of lack of consumer demand.

The iconic Kiwi treats have been axed by confectionary giant Cadbury Schweppes, which owns the Pascall brand.

Tangy fruits where always my favorite at movie theater.

[Roki_nz]

Well i guess i am off to the store to buy my last bucket of tangy fruits :(

[Maha]

I was gutted to hear about the 'Sav' getting the DCM a few weeks ago.
Whats the PC World (or in this case NZ) coming too?
The childhood memories of Dad taking me to the Longburn Freezing Works where I would get a free Sav from the butcher have served me well over years...indeed, as an Adult, it was a real treat to have Fried Savs' with a little bit of vinegar (and some greens)...a sad day yes!...:(

[Headbanger]

I treat my kids by not feeding em savs.

Wtf is in a sav anyway?

[Maha]

I treat my kids by not feeing em savs.

Wtf is in a sav anyway?


Savaloy! Paloni? Red looking sausage type thing...little boy? only bigger!

Wtf is feeing anyway?

[Magua]

Hang on, what's happening with Savaloys?

[Pussy]

Bugger! What next, the pie?

[Maha]

Hang on, what's happening with Savaloys?

Its the end of the road for them sorry to say....there were four food items on that Kiwi Chef programme getting the flick from our diets, the Humble Savaloy took me be complete suprise!!!

[Ixion]

The bastards!

This means that none of us will ever get a fair suck on the sav ever again!

BURN THEM.

[Forest]

A saveloy is a pork sausage. In the food industry they're called a "grave-yard" product since they're made with all the meat that isn't acceptable for use in other products e.g. the tiny shreds of meat which are reclaimed from discarded pork carcasses in the freezing works.

[Bass]

Just to get back on the opening topic......

Used to work for Griffins when they owned the Jaffas brand.
Had a company golf tournament once a year and they would get the troops to pan up some Jaffas, the size of golf balls, then see how far we could hit them.
They just exploded if you laid into them, but with a 7 iron and some finesse 80 or 90 meters was possible.

Interesting trying to get one in your mouth.
Hilarious trying to say anything if you succeeded.

[Pussy]

Dead fucken right, Ixion!

[Forest]

Palonies are traditionally orange.

Cheerios or little boys are cocktail size sausages. They're just scaled down versions of the saveloy.

[nodrog]

Bugger! What next, the pie?

havnt they already arseholed the pie from school tuckshops?

[Ixion]

Hang on hang on.

OK, Sniftas and Jaffas is propiertory. If Pascall don't make them noone will.

But any butcher can make a sav. So how come they're on the out? All the butchers in the country can't have simultaneously gone to the dark side?

[Pussy]

Don't know what's wrong with people nowadays... you need high blood pressure... to pump through clogged arteries

uparently they are unhygienic, dont you remember the great sav epidemic of '85?

[Headbanger]

Savaloy! Paloni? Red looking sausage type thing...little boy? only bigger!

DOH!

Though never fear I know what a sav looks like, I ate them as a child, Until It occurred to me to ask what the hell was in them, After all it has neither the texture nor taste of meat.

I'd rather pay the extra dollar and eat me some steak.

[Ixion]

So ruddy what? You *eat* the things , not wipe y' bum with them. And we survived 85. Bugger me, I've eaten a truck load of stuff a damn site mor eunhygienic than a sav, and survived.


Unhygienic indeed !. Bah, piffle humbug, poppycock even. If that's all it is tell the butcher to wash his ruddy hands.

[nodrog]

... If that's all it is tell the butcher to wash his ruddy hands.

but its not PC to tell somebody they may be covered in germs.

Ever tried them Smoked??....too fecken' die for!.....:woohoo:

Me also....eye fillet....:wari:
Snifters I can live without...never really did it for me.
Jaffas on the other hand, would roll down the steps easier in the old fashioned Picture Theatres.....:whistle:

[Ixion]

Hang about.

Call off the dogs. Put the missiles back in the silos.

Seems the sav isn't a goner at all. Just that the wankers at Statistics NZ have dropped it from the list of stuff they measure the CPI on. And they've added soy milk and hummus instead ! Yeah, like that's going to give a genuine indication of the cost of living for real people . Always knew those figures were faked.

But the good news is that sav is still with us, in all it's bright cheery goodness.

Oh dear, what a shock. I think I better go and have a wee lie down.

[yungatart]

No snifters! No jaffas!
Oh well, they aren't as much fun any more...not since all the movie theatres got carpeted floors.
Just not the same rolling a box of jaffas in the movies any more...why do they take away all the fun stuff?

Actually, completely off topic but kinda funny anyway...when I was at secondary school one of my teachers was a nasty little vindictive ginga nun! She decided that she would humiliate me in front of my whole class (42 16 yo girls ...not a smart move on her part). I was not the most popular girl in school, but my claas mates decided she was completely OTT and needed to be taught a lesson. We nicknamed the ginga "Jaffa", bought shit loads of Jaffas from the canteen, and every time she poked her nose out of the classroom, she was greeted with hordes of teenage girls hurling full boxes of jaffas on to the ground, yelling in unison "Stamp out Jaffas, stamp out jaffas!"

Took half a term before she had a wee holiday at Tokanui......

Are you serious???....cheesecake was on the list as well, (not that I mind that so much) My new slogan is no longer good for anything? SOS (Save Our Savs) ....:crybaby:

[The Pastor]

Massey University student president Ying-yue Zhao said people would now have to look for alternative options at the movies.

Thanks captain obvious.

[Ixion]

Anyway, what's wrong with the sav being unhygienic.Jolly good thing, I say.

All them blue cheeses is certainly unhygienic, that blue stuff is pure germs. Tastes pretty good but and I don't see the Food Nazis cracking down on cheese, so I reckon that the germs in the sav are what gives it its special flavour. They're GOOD for you.

Wot about aniseed balls? They always had pretty good ballistics. When I was young , sweets weren't judged so much on flavour as on flight trajectory.

[The Pastor]

my gran told me a story of when she was in her youth, she collected dried sheeps droppings put them in a paper bag and gave them to her friends telling them they were home made aniseed balls.

never did quite figure out why she never had any friends....

[Swoop]

Correct!

What will we have to use as a replacement theatre projectile? Pickled onions simply do not have the same range and you look rather suspicious walking into the theatre with a jar concealed under your coat.

Ha ha, that explains a lot.............

Maybe we should get together at Clarks for a round.. For old times sake.....

Hummus? Isn't that what the Governor of California drives?

[Stirts]

:angry2: I AM FARKEN FUMING!!! SNIFTERS ARE THE BEST!!! RIGHT UP THERE WITH TANGY FRUITS!!!! SOON THEY WILL BE ABOLISHING PEBBLES.....OH THE MISERY AND HEART ACHE OF IT ALL.....WOE IS ME

Such fond memories of throwing red Tangy Fruits (hated em) at other movie goers in Gizzy *sigh* Putting two green ones and a yellow in my mouth at the same time and having their luscious fruity-ness mix and mingle in my mouth :drool:

RIP :weep:

Pickled onions?....personally I would choose to use that as an entirely different weapon all together.....phrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt

[martybabe]

What have I been missing, what is a snifter, sounds great, what is a jaffa. I love sweets, sorry lollies and it looks like these two classics will be slipping through my grasp soon.

I lost a lot of childhood friends back in the UK, fruit salads, black jacks, mojos, licorice imps, ooh and the jellies in Imperial mix, sheer sugar sex.

Don't let it happen guys, lollies have rights!

As for saveloys, I hope for Ixion's sake they don't disappear but eewww. :no:

[Motu]

When we were kids,like 8 to 10,we would be given 2 bob each to go to the movies in the city,usually about half a dozen of us,but sometime just me and a mate.We would walk a couple of miles to the bus which was sixpence each way,sixpence for the movie,which left sixpence for a packet of Jaffas.But if we took the train which was opposite the bus stop...it was sixpence return,which meant we could have a packet of Jaffas,and a packet of Snifters.They were good ammo in any movie theater - but from right up the back of the Civic onto the stage was a good throw.....we usually tried to hit a lion from the balcony.

Twirlywirly?
Fizzy sherbert?:drool:

[Trudes]

Never really liked sniffters, but jaffas :drool:, used to stuff a heap in my mouth and just let them melt...immmmmmm.... and then I discovered Giant Jaffas!!!! ohhhhhhhh. Used to go to the dairy at lunch time from school and buy a bag of about 6 of them and stick one in my mouth during class and just let it melt and melt one after the other all afternoon, certainly made the afternoon of boring bullshit school work go faster.... maybe I should try that now.... must have giant jaffas *off to the dairy*

[gijoe1313]

This thread is becoming world famous in NZ ... shucks I miss those 50cent bag o'lollies which made you sick when you scoffed the lot sitting in a tree.

And then scouting the neighbourhood for those deposit bottles so you could go and get another 50cent bag and do it all over again :lol:

Dang, no tangy fruits? What next! Ban the fizzy sherbet bags with the licorice straw? Take away the Spaceman cigarette lollies? In fact they got rid of those spaceman and spaceman ray gun drinks (the one where you could bit the top off and have a water gun!) ... and eskimos ain't the same ... at least raspberry drops are still around and jet planes!

[Pussy]

... at least raspberry drops are still around and jet planes!

Yeah, but next some safety nazi is going to say the jetplane lollies leave too bigger carbon footprint or something...

[lb99]

....scouting the neighbourhood for those deposit bottles :lol:



I remember doing those, one summer we got heaps, it was unreal scoring so many bottles, they were all over the place, we were rich, loaded em into the old pram, off to the shop we go.
only to be told that they didn't take em any more :crybaby:

[Drum]

At least leave us the K Bar you anti-sugar nazi's.

And whatever happened to the 4 for 1 cent lolly? For that matter what happened to the 1 cent?

[Salival]

No more tangy fruits??

What the hell are we throw at people at the movies?!

Before they shipped them off they could've at least tried changing the packaging. I don't think they ever changed the tangy fruits bucket in like 20 years

[Ixion]

I bet very few people remember that there used to be *yellow* jaffas.

[Drum]

I bet very few people remember that there used to be *yellow* jaffas.

That's crazy talk old timer.

[yungatart]

I just heard some lady on the radio saying she had bought up all the supplies in Napier...oh woe is me! I had promised a packet or two to young hXc who is in Brussels....can anyone help supply him with jaffas and snifters...

[scracha]

Jaffa cakes...Kiwi? Gimmie a break.

[Pixie]

I lost a lot of childhood friends back in the UK, fruit salads, black jacks, mojos, licorice imps, ooh and the jellies in Imperial mix, sheer sugar sex.



Licorice Imps sound intriguing.I'm partial to a little black sugar

[martybabe]

Licorice Imps sound intriguing.I'm partial to a little black sugar

Sadly that's black sugar you'll never sample, a million British kids bought the little metal tobacco type tins, sampled one imp and suffered retracting face syndrome, a bit like a slug when you put salt on it. Think Licorice flavour fisherman's friend. A reputation of being the school hard knock went along with the consumption of eating two imps.

Tell ya what I have re discovered here, Golden nuggets, long gone In England, A little cotton sack of delicious bubble gum, Flavourless after 20seconds. :clap:

Happy days. or was it another kind of black sugar you were alluding too :rolleyes:

[Morcs]

you kiwis have obviously never had jaffa cakes then... mmmm

[skidMark]

Noooooo not the tangy fruitttttt :shit: :bye:

[BuFfY]

It is so a ploy to make everyone go out and buy snifters and jaffas. Just like when they said they were going to get rid of the train - which is still around!!

But I did go and buy some snifters and jaffas in a box. I remember snifters having a hard centre, but these don't. Maybe we got the reject snifters in Gore or something...

[Krayy]

The fault of the consumer issue is the theaters themselves. The f**kers make you pay 5 bucks a pack for Tangy Fruits, it's no wonder the demand is frickin low.

If Cadbury had any balls, it would force the theaters to comply with a reasonable RRP to get everyone eating them.

Another iconic brand down the tubes.

[Blossom]

Personally I think we should take the pc loving little mongrels out the back and force feed them popcorn dipped in hummous while they watch the latest pc drama crap movie from the box office..

fume......fume....fume..

Tangy fruits rock. Always and for freaken ever. Nothing lasts through a movie like tangy fruits. Only damn thing left when ya leave the theatre. Now what am I supposed to eat when I go to the movies? Ice cream thats so hard it could smash concrete if dropped?
Popcorn thats so dry, cardboard is easier to swallow?
bastardly loud potato chips or any other bastardly loud lollie packet?!

bastards. Utter Utter Utter Utter bastards.

And sparkles??? WTF if I could find a shop that sold them I would freaken buy them. The guy at our local indian dairy just looks at me funny when I ask for sparkles..
bastards.
At least I can still buy kbars.
bastards.:Oi:

[Blossom]

Snifters and Jaffas don't do it for me so I'm not really gutted about those Tangi fruits are ok but what I really miss are those those pink and white frosted peanuts...mmmmmmmm

[HTFU]

Its all the first steps in us becoming an Asian Nation. First it was the crap cartoons now its the lollies. Although White Rabbits seem to be a hit in Auckland. :doctor:
