    End of line for iconic Kiwi lollies

    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.

    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!...

    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.

    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.
    I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I always was.

    Palonies are traditionally orange.

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

    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?
