MMMMM nerrrds I love them still. Ate some the other day!

Oh and referencing back to th other pages - I loved the "fads" cigarette lolly things too. I hated 'Big Boss' though!

i remember "fads" as this:


unlike "Fads", "Fags" had a red tip (to make them look like lit cigarettes). i was pissed when they changed them to "Fads" (you can still buy "Fads" just cant buy "Fags".

[Beaumonde]

you can still get candy sticks
don't they just taste the same?

edit: nvm i only just remembered the candy cigarettes
i only got to have them once

[Talkie Toaster]

these were the best, and actually tasted alright, you can still buy them over the net (maybe other places but havn't seen any in AUS for a loooong time)

[gumgnome]

^They look wicked.

Also, I was so unhappy when they stopped making Nerds - I loved them so.

[Erica]

They stopped making Nerds? Wow, I didn't even realize that. Although, I am now remembering that I haven't seen them in any stores for a while... lol.

Man, I loved candy cigarettes.
I remember when I was little, at the beach, my sister cousin and I would go to the arcade and rack up a bunch of tickets and we would almost always spend it on candy cigarettes and temporary tattoos.
I think you can still buy them, they're just not called cigarettes anymore, because you're not really allowed to promote smoking in little kids.

wild berry Skittles are still around. i eat them all the time! they're my favorite because they're the only Skittles where i like every colour in the bag.

Nerds are also still around! i had some yesterday!

these were discontinued in CANADA so it's annoying:

Frosted cheerios
Cookies 'n' Cream Pop Tarts

[Secret Scoobie]

oh yeah!!!!

pop tarts were discontinued in Australia! I was devastated!!!!

[drusillacakes]

There needs to be swapping of discontinued stuff. I would gladly trade pop tarts for some crispy m&ms. Oh it's been so long... since I had a crispy m&m...mmmmm ::sings a song of sorrow::

[Secret Scoobie]

*done and done*

I wish.. i actually crave Pop Tarts even though I haven't had them in over 5 yrs!

I was told about a shop called Cybercandy. As the name suggests, there's a website, but there are also three stores in the UK, and a new one has just opened in Birmingham. Went there today, and they've got lots of these these discontinued lines, plus sweets and chocolate from America and other foreign countries.

I bought Nerds



They didn't have any of the individual boxes of Lucky Charms, and the normal sized boxes were too expensive But now I know that shop is there, I'll probably go back

[Secret Scoobie]

^ Your story inspired me to look for an Aussie store with some of the foods we don't get here.

I found this USA foods.com and they have POP TARTS, and Reeses, and Hershies! so tempted to buy up


Edit: OOOOH I have to ask, do any of you 'foreignors' like TIM TAMS, Vegemite, Meat Pies or any other Aussie icon foods?

[xaphania]

Only one I've heard of is vegemite (unless a meat pie is as obvious as it sounds lol)... and that's a lot like our marmite, I believe. Which I hate Can't really understand the love for marmite, I think it tastes disgusting!

[Secret Scoobie]

well I don't like vegemite either I like PROMITE Its sweeter.

Well, if you ever get a chance make sure you try timtams they're the best So they're not available in the UK?

[xaphania]

We don't have those, but I did a search of the cybercandy website, and they do stock them. I'll have a look in the shop next time I'm in town

[Midnight Butterfly]

I loved Apple Fanta, I miss it so

We don't have Vanilla, Cherry, Lemon or Lime Coke anymore I miss those too.

I also loved the Mc Donalds great tastes of America which they did in the UK over the summer. And like everything, they are gone too
