Hoadley's White Knights - choc coated peppermint bar. Hoadleys sold out yonks ago and took a lot of old familiar names with them
Threepenny Cadbury and Nestle choc bars. They'd be about a buck these days, but they were nice and cheap for the folks to shut the kids up with.
Multiple assorted lollies in boxes along about three shelves in local stores. The lollies cost as little as 8 for a cent (bullets) and for ten cents, you had a feast.
Big Ben meat pies, when they were the real thing. Square, large and a real meal. Nothing better than a couple of Big Bens with dead horse and a schooner.
(Most of these memories date from the 60's, although the pies and beer went well into the 80's before Big Bens were bought out and turned to crap.)

VZ Holden Commodore Acclaim.
The 1c and 2c lollies you could buy at the deli back in the day. I used to buy $2 of like choc buds or fruit sticks or jelly babies and youd walk out with a bag load that youd scoff down and feel like you get your moneys worth. Now you buy stuff like that for like 3 for 20c or like at the cinemas for $10 for like 200gms.
Old taste of Coke.
Tab.
Hubba Bubba that the taste would last for hours, now it lasts for 5 minutes.
Big Companies Suck.

Dude, Schweppes cola was produced after Schweppes lost the contract for Pepsi.


Do you mean Schweppes lost the contract then produced there cola then won it (Pepsi license back) and discontinued it? because as far as I know pepsi is as of this day made by cadbury Schweppes in oz.

MHO Schweppes cola was terrible, LA Cola was better

fair enough, I "may" hate it as an adult now, but I would like the option back.

EXACTLY. They sell them at the servo, and I swear everytime I get suckered into, maybe this packet will be better, nope. Just no the same. They were called Samboy Savage or something the good ones.

Also I havent seen Tastey Jacks around in ages

those (savage) are the ones with the extra kick sachets, oh they were nice ah.
