There's brown bananas, and there's brown bananas, but then there's the ones that have rotted on the inside first.

And the Hawthorn club colours too.

    I had until now. What about the crazy maze? Or was it Krazy maze, is it still around?

    Also haven't seen the pepermint crisp around. My mom used to smash it up and decorate the old Pavlova. 

    I also remember the Coleman's chips showbag. Bags were all under a dollar and were good value.

    ‘Tis still around, Deeves. It’s just had a name-change. It’s called a curly wurly now and has been so for many years.

    Peppermint crisps are also still around, as are a personal favourite of mine, Peppermint Patties. Chocolate and mint = a marriage made in heaven. And not a marriage that only lasts a few years as is the norm nowadays, but a marriage like that of one’s grandparents: ‘til death do they part.

    Your right. I had a curly wurly about a year ago. I do remember the pepermint patties as well. ( green wrap) I think it was the sister treat to the old coconut roughs.

    We're probably showing our age with these posts but what a treat to go to the " milk bar" and buy a 10 cents bag of mixed lollies. Sherbet bombs, musk sticks, false teeth, mates, jaffas, freckles, milk bottles,  ( yuk) and even the odd fan tale thrown in.

    I found the peppermint patties very ordinary, sort of soggy, but the peppermint crisp is a beauty.

    I also remember the good old days of collecting bottles to return to the milk bar. Coke, Leeds and Fanta. I lived in St Kilda and there were lots to get. I stacked all my bottles down the side of the house waiting until I had achieved a certain fiscal outcome.

    Then one day the price of return went from 10 to 20 cents overnight.

    My portfolio had doubled in a heartbeat.  Oh happy days.

    Yea but price wise they were good value. The kind of item when you didn't have enough funds to buy a fully fledged chocolate bar.

    Are you two hearing yourselves?! Clearly not. The Peppermint Patty is the best chocolate treat ever. EVER. “Fully-fledged chocolate bar” Deeves? Really?!?! Anyone with half a brain knows that you never have just one. Minimum three, for mine. And Red, “soggy”???? I prefer “spongey” which is the texture that makes it unique.

    What????? What is wrong with you?! Milk bottles (closely followed by *teeth) are the best lollies of all. My biggest complaint about mixed lollies is that there’s never enough of them. Jelly babies overload. 😠 

    * you don’t need to call them “false teeth.” No one is expecting to find real ones in the packet.

    What were the flat white ones , the size of a 2 cent coin with a swirl on them?( tasted like milky bars).

    Why would anyone want to eat a “spongy “ chocolate bar?

    Unless of course you are 🦷 toothless.

    Can you imagine 2 teams playing the last round to decide who gets Harley Reid?

    Half of each side, if not more, would be managed.

    Would be a great game to watch to see who can play worse.

    What would be required for a “tanking investigation “ I wonder, or is that just another negative from the AFL reserved for us?

    Certainly do.

    Whitnall missed about 5 gimme goals and Travis Johnson was left alone to pick up 150 uncontested possessions in addition to several good players being “managed “.

    Not toothless, just love a spongey chocolate-coated treat, which is great in case I ever do end up toothless.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
