More likely Hawaii

Ah, yes.
There's calls to bring back the old Adelaide pie cart.
Pie floater, Mmmmmmm.......

Choo Choo bar. Or was that Chew Chew bar? I haven't seen them for years.
Luckily, again in a specialty sweet store, you can get your fix if you so desire.

Is that different packaging?

Yeah different packaging I don't remember it being that bright a darker pack if I remember correctly, one things for sure it never had (The Original) on the pack

Chocolate coated licorice 'bullets' @ 8 a penny.

A small packet (10) of Craven A cigarettes @ 1/-9d, a box of matches @ 2d and 8 bullets all for 2 bob

What's interesting looking back is that no one raised an eyebrow when a grade 5 primary school kid made such a purchase, by grade 6 I was smoking unfiltered Chesterfields and Midway little cigars.

Yes. In another life our ship called into Adelaide, and I had a pie floater. Now, through no fault of my own, I was under the influence, [ ****ed] I loved it, I have to go back to have one sober. It is on the bucket list.
