End of line for iconic Kiwi lollies

[scracha]

Jaffa cakes...Kiwi? Gimmie a break.

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

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.

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

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

Noooooo not the tangy fruitttttt

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...

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.

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.

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

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.
