Pretty busy trade day, hard to keep up with all today's trade news.

Might have been better advised, to have just slurped on a cola and rum slushee.

an old fashioned vanilla milkshake with the right ingredients takes a bit of beating.

full cream milk, quality ice-cream, vanilla essence, tablespoon of honey, all shaken to within an inch of its life.

yuuuummo

 

You forgot the malt....

Oops scrap that, already added earlier.

Two scoops would kill the bliss

Love the Eskimo Pie. Two must haves with the EP:- 

• Right Temp C - 18C

• Non-damaged wrapper

Otherwise it can literally be a handful and get messy real quick.

 

 

The biscuit on the pie .... mmm.

Maxi Bon isn't too shabby either

Sunny boys - used to do similar  though I remember the printing on the seam used to be slightly different.

One thing is the same; been thrown out by the shop keeper when they worked out what we were doing.

Didn’t know there was a system but I annoyed my siblings one hot summer with a streak of four frees. Love the game not the odds….

Yes, winning a free frozen cordial drink, was a day’s highlight for a youngster.

I am expecting another riveting day of trade week today.

Anyone familiar with the Weis bar?  They are now half the size.

Funny you raise that Mr. Leg I had one last night and thought similar.

They are definitely smaller.

With bigger population and mass production, product quality has been sacrificed for the mighty dollar.

Chocolate tastes like plastic, biscuits like wallpaper etc.

I think my Weiss bar is only half of what it was, back in the day.

I saw Meggs’ thread titled “Buzzing” and thought the missing thread had just been re-named. 😁

What happened to the Cultural Issues at the Dees thread? I’ve just finished a quality sesh at a microbrewery in East Brunswick to find it has disappeared?

Seems it’s gone the way of the Joel Smith tests positive thread aka the Demonland Bermuda Triangle.

Well done..lol..  yeah.   The 'cue' wasnt that obvious...unless you knew what to look for....and when you did it was easy peasy.

Someone mentioned using deposits off the coke bottles....yeah...whole other story there lol...  Looking back I was quite the ratbag delinquent. 

Twas I. A voracious collector of empty coke bottles, Leeds , Fanta and a few others. Lived in St Kilda East amongst a lot of flats . High density area and great pickings. Made more with bottles than my morning paper round. I hated that round especially on Saturday with the bloody Age. 5 bucks a week and usually had to pay for damaged flower pots. Doh. And it was so cold and dark at 5.30 am. The alarm sent shivers down my spine. As mentioned I got lazy returning the bottles and stacked them around the side of our Westbury grove house. When they went from 10 cents to 20 it was like winning Powerball. Apologies to the owner of the Newsagency for not turning my colleagues in for all the smokes they pinched.

Or perhaps the Great Pacific Gyre (or it's cloud based equivalent) where all the world's rubbish (threads) end up waiting to be collected and repurposed into a less toxic narrative.
