Speaker 2: Bob Burn, Hello, you keep talking about No, I want

8
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,319

9
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 2: He's going.

10
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 3: To play you.

11
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: Oh dear well, I mean I can only be someone

12
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 1: like Roger Moore or something, or Carry Grant. I don't

13
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 1: know he's playing you.

14
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 2: Oh, let me think, Let me think. I don't know,

15
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:45,279
Speaker 2: as I was saying, maybe Brad Pitt. Anyway, there you go.

16
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 2: I thought today we might. I was having a bit

17
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 2: of a conversation earlier today with somebody involved in the

18
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,639
Speaker 2: in the book business. We were looking back at some

19
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 2: of my old books. He came across the Fags photograph.

20
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,199
Speaker 2: Now the Fags photo was I'm assuming that most people

21
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 2: will know what I'm talking about because we're all a

22
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: little bit older and listening to this program. And the Fags,

23
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 2: of course were those lolly cigarettes. Yes, that used to

24
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 2: come a little pack of ten and they had a

25
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 2: little red tip, and we used to go around pretending

26
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 2: that we were, you know, dad smoking a cigarette. Moms

27
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 2: didn't smoke all that much in those days. Well, you know,

28
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 2: obviously some did, but it was mainly dad. Sometimes Dad

29
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 2: rolled his own, but we love to imitate what Dad

30
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 2: was doing walking around smoking cigarettes. And I think I

31
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 2: was a pack of the day. So we were talking

32
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 2: about and so we started to talk about things like Columbines.

33
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 2: Do you remember Columbne?

34
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: I remember the name? What were they?

35
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 2: So Columbines came I reckon it was in like a

36
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 2: triangular pack and they were wrapped in blue silver paper

37
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 2: and they'd come in a long, thin box. Just wonder

38
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 2: how many people remember columbines. They're not made anymore, I'm sure,

39
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 2: but you know, they don't make columbines anymore. There's a

40
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 2: lot of lollies that are no longer in existence, but

41
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 2: Columbines disappeared maybe many, many years ago. But yes, they

42
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 2: were in a bluey silver paper, came in a long box,

43
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 2: and used to buy them at the movies when you

44
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 2: went to the pictures, right right, okay, And of course

45
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: when you speak of pictures and you're talking about Lolly's, well,

46
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 2: you know, Jeffers comes to mind.

47
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Yeah, Jeffers.

48
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 2: In those days they were made well they were still

49
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 2: the same shape and still the same color obviously, but

50
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: they came in a box, and they were made by

51
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 2: a company called Sweet Acres. Yes, I wonder how many

52
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 2: people remember Jeffers in a box. You know. They were

53
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 2: ideal of course for rolling down the floor of the

54
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 2: picture theater. I'm sure that's not a myth.

55
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: No, I'm sure it's not either, but a waste of

56
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: a good Jeffer.

57
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: Well, of course it would be. But there were kids

58
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 2: who would just love to. I'm sure some kids would

59
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 2: have dropped them anyway, and the Jaffers would just take

60
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 2: off and roll down the aisle. But it was one

61
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 2: of those one of those things that people talked about

62
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 2: all time. When you went to the movies on Saturday

63
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 2: afternoon to watch you know, Superman and Batman and Gary

64
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 2: Cooper and John Wayne and Heckel and Checkle Cartoon, there

65
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 2: would always be Chaffers rolling down the aisle, it would see. Yeah,

66
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 2: so you know, there were there were lots and lots

67
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 2: of lollies. What What are some of the lollies you

68
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 2: might remember from your youth.

69
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: I remember just a few cents, Bob would get you

70
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: a bag, a little white bag cram full, and you'd

71
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: have those teeth. Remember the teeth lollies its.

72
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 2: Teeth in fact, you can still mind though. Yeah, yeah,

73
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 2: I got some the other day.

74
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: You know.

75
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 2: I love nothing more than in the office at work

76
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 2: to have some lollies in a in a bowl.

77
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: Okay, I love lollies in a bowl.

78
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 2: You know it may it's remember once, you know what

79
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 2: I remember I used to work, when I worked at

80
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 2: the advertiser. We'd go into meetings, and meetings were always

81
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 2: so painful, yes, but it was it was always highlighted

82
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 2: by the face there was a little bowl of lollies there.

83
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: Okay, keep the energy levels up anyway. I remember bananas,

84
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: remember the bananas a little? Yeah, there were the I

85
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: mean back in the day, the red skins, which you

86
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: know correct these days?

87
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, red skin, the.

88
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: Fags you've talked about. There are a lot of different

89
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 1: chocolate brands, and I was always bigger in chocolate. But

90
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: I remember fries chocolate and that was mint and something

91
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: else maybe peppermint and mint. What was called Fries was

92
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: the brand name. It was Fries Fries fr. Yes, they

93
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: were around. I was big on Smarties as a kid.

94
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: I loved that and Caramelo Koala when that came out.

95
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: That's a little bit more recent perhaps, But our touch

96
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: shop at school and they don't do it these days

97
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: because it's not so good for kids and we want

98
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: to get a healthier message. But it was full of

99
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: everything you could have, you know, just all the lolly

100
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: shop stuff, and the snakes were a thing, and they

101
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: still are. Of course you can get snakes.

102
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 2: I wonder why lollies went out of fashion kind of,

103
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 2: you know, like as you say, touch shops these days

104
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 2: don't have anymore. Well why is that? Why why could

105
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 2: we eat lollies and not grow into you know, overweight

106
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 2: and obese children.

107
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, isn't that funny. We've got rid of those from

108
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,119
Speaker 1: touch shops and kids are fatter. How does that work?

109
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 2: I don't know, but it's it's a bit odd really.

110
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 2: Maybe it's not the lollies that are doing it after all,

111
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 2: but you know, there were so many. Look, I'll tell

112
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 2: you what. Holy yes, Now, remember when they said they

113
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 2: were going to bring back Hotly's polywaff and and they

114
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 2: were going to be down here at and Roman Men's

115
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 2: and they brought back those funny little round things.

116
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: Not quite the same, and they're not the same. I'm sorry.

Speaker 1: I found as a kid. PK was an acquiet taste

143
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: because it was a bit hotter, bit more peppery.

144
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:22,640

Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's right, but picnic of lit light package

164
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 7: I remember percent Yeah, yeah, I reckon the reason a

165
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 7: long long time. The reason you don't have the lollies

166
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 7: now at the shops like we used to, is I

167

169
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,120

170
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 2: were kids, we'd go to the lolly shop and the

171
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 2: and at the touch shop or the lolly shop, they

172
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 2: would have all the lollies in a glass and you

173
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 2: would say one of those, one of those, one of those,

174
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 2: and they used to pick them up with their fingers

175
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 2: and put them in the bag.

176
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:16,440

Speaker 8: Yes, good evening to the both of you. I'm just

226
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 8: talking about lollies as well, although I don't eat much

227
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 8: of the sweet stuff these days, let alone when I

228
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 8: was younger, but the little honey bears there yellow in colors,

229
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 8: if you remember those, and the little tiny red raspberries

230
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 8: to be able to get from the tuck shop in

00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 8: my day. I'm seventy five of course now and the others.

232
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know this.

233
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 8: I forget the many lollies that we had because I

234
00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 8: never ate very much, saved money more from for a

235
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 8: standard of living i've gotten now. If I had it

236
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 8: in lollies, I possibly wouldn't enjoy the standard of living

237
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 8: I've got now within reason.

238
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: The honey bears, yeah, I remember those.

239
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's still by them. I mean they're still around,

240
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 2: the little bears. And and don't forget mint leaves too,

241
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 2: You know they were They dropped those for a while,

242
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 2: they stopped making them, but I think the call was

243
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 2: so big that they brought them back.

244
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: Remember wagon wheels they were big?

245
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 2: Well, yes, now wagon wheels. There's always a thought that

246
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 2: wagon wheels have shrunk inside. I reckon, But somebody did

247
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 2: an exercise recently. They reckon. Wagon wheels are the same size,

248
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 2: just at their package differently.

249
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: I don't know either. Come on, they've gone down from

250
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: a two sixteen tied to a two twelve. I reckon,

251
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: What about the Milky Way Kid. Do you remember him? Oh, yes,

252
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: he was around in the early seventies, Yes, the.

253
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 2: Milky Way Kid.

254
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: Yep.

255
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm just trying to think of what of what

256
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 2: that television commercial entail.

257
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: Okay, I kind of remember it now.

258
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 5: Yeah.

259
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: Now you've said that Blake will be on the case,

260
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: we'll have we'll have that. So yeah, but there was

261
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: so and the ads for all these had to be

262
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: so creative, didn't they they did?

263
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 2: You know, do they advertise lollies anymore? I don't think

264
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 2: they do.

265
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: I don't know.

266
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 2: I think you know, they tucked lollies away in the

267
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 2: in the lolly aisle at the supermarket and we have

268
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 2: to go and find them, you know, Like for example,

269
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 2: I didn't know that they still made columbines, but but

270
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 2: now I know that they do.

271
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: You'll be out there.

272
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 2: Well that's absolutely correct, and I mean that's a little

273
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 2: bit of a taste of your childhood too. Yeah. Yeah,

274
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 2: I talked about poll waffles earlier. I wanted to mention,

275
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 2: does anybody remember when you could buy Fredo frogs for

276
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 2: a penny and they came unwrapped? Okay, they were just

277
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 2: you know, you bought them as a as a as

278
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 2: just a chocolate lolly, but they weren't wrapped. And mind you,

279
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 2: they were twice the size of Freado frog is today.

280
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: Okay, they were huge, they were. Yeah, yeah, I can

281
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: visualize that. And I can also visualize the big ones

282
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 1: in I reckon green and gold wrapping, like completely green

283
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: and gold. Might have been red as well. Yeah, does

284
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: that ring in alfoil and green and yellow?

285
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 2: I remember there was a big green and gold Fredo

286
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 2: frog that used to sit on the counter. Yeah, and

287
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 2: he was like a photo frog jar lolli jar.

288
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

289
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. A couple of others that I thought we should

290
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 2: mention too. Cherry writes, of course they're still around old

291
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 2: gold chocolate. Yes, and now, of course they make those

292
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 2: and and and they advertise those on television at the moment.

293
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 2: Who remembers tooty fruity tooty fruities or or or fruit tingles?

294
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 2: Steam steam rollers?

295
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:45,120
Speaker 1: Yes, they were mint bars, weren't they? Not bars? Little?

296
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 2: I don't think the steam rollers are made anymore. I

297
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 2: think they were. They were peppermint and one other one

298
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 2: for lolli lovers, which again I don't think is made anymore.

299
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 2: Coconut quivers now, I wonder how many people remember coconut quivers.

300

00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 1: of course, down at glend Or would be North Plimpton,

314
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: somewhere down there.

315
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 2: But once again, you know, they were mainly they mainly

316
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 2: made biscuits, Yeah, Allen's of course, of the sweets makers.

317
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to think of who else made lolies.

318
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 2: I mean, we had Hoadley's in Adelaide for a while.

319
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 2: There was a Holy factory in the city. I don't

320
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 2: know whether anybody can remember that, and I don't exactly

321
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 2: know where it was. I reckon I might have been

322
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 2: in Wakefield Street. I wonder if anybody will remember whether

323
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:52,199
Speaker 2: anybody worked there at the Holy Factory or remembers the

324
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 2: Holy Factory there. And of course they made well. They

325
00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 2: made violet crumbles, they made a ridge lee, they made

326
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 2: polly waffles, and Hoadley's made well. They made a lot

327
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 2: of fantastic sweets. They and Mcrobertson's. Mcrobertson's were a Melbourne company,

328
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:22,360
Speaker 2: and uh well they introduced a lot of a lot

329
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 2: of chocolate products out of the market, fantastic love the lolly.

330
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 1: And moving just a fraction away from the lollies, of course,

331
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 1: we had the ice cream factory and skull around the court. Skull, yeah,

332
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 1: just off Carrington Street.

333
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 2: Well, while we're while we're moving away a little bit

334
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 2: from lolly, I should tell you a story. Somebody sent

335
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 2: me in a thing talking about a dessert. You know,

336
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 2: when we were kids, we always had pudding or dessert

337
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 2: and it was a way of filling us up as

338
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 2: kids because you know, as young kids, we were especially

339
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 2: not being sexistceved, but especially boys you know, how could

340
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 2: you ever fill a twelve year old stomach? I mean,

341
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 2: the food just sort of went through them and disappeared.

342
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 2: But there was a story that one of my readers

343
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 2: sent in, and she said, I work in a grocery

344
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 2: store and a customer asked one of the younger kids

345
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 2: working where the junket tablets were. Oh, really, who remembers junket?

346
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: No?

347
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 2: And okay, well found three of them looking in the

348
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 2: vitamin tablet section. They were all in the vitamin tablets,

349
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 2: thinking that because they were tablets they would be with

350
00:22:54,840 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 2: the vitamins. They'd never heard of junket. Yeah, oh, now,

351
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 2: so who remembers junket? Does anybody remember a junket? Who

352
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 2: remembers blam? As a dessert? You know, I'm talking about

353
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 2: after we'd had our main meal, we'd have we'd have

354
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 2: like a we might have a rice custard or or

355
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 2: say go custard.

356
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,199
Speaker 3: Heard that, Yeah, I heard of that.

357
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 2: Okay, we might have a junket which was like a

358
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,439
Speaker 2: which was like a jelly. Was not jelly, it was

359
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 2: a It was a tablet that you dissolved and it

360
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 2: formed this kind of a milky slop. If I can

361
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 2: describe it that way sounds and and Blae was pretty

362
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 2: much the same. I was never a big fan, but

363
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 2: people love those desserts, really love them, you know. Yeah, well, well,

364
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 2: ether be, I don't know whether people eat as much

365
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 2: dessert today as they used to once again, you know,

366
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,479
Speaker 2: because it was putting, and it was it was the

367
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 2: at the end of the meal, and it was something

368
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 2: like my mother used to make bread and butter pudding,

369
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 2: and she would make that with yesterday's bread. She would

370
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 2: have soaked the bread in custod and then she would

371
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 2: put raisins in it, raisins and currants and and and

372
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 2: then there'd be a covering of custod as well with it.

373
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 2: So it was very very filling dish. And I think

374
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 2: that's what you know, parents used to do in those

375
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 2: days save money.

376
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,960

00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 1: double two to three, double O double O. Bob Burn

402
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: is here, Adelaide. Remember when we're reminiscing about the old

403
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: lullies of childhood, here's a bit on wagon wheels, Bob.

404
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: They have supposedly shrunk, but Burton's foods limited, which makes

405
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 1: them deny. This has been suggested the supposed spring kitchen

406
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 1: is due to an adult's childhood memory of eating a

407
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: wagon wheel held in a much smaller hand. It doesn't

408
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: explain why the modern wagon Will appeals appears to be

409
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 1: fatter than the original. I don't reckon it's fat. I

410
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: just reckon it's smaller.

411
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 2: Well, you tell me if you go to the store

412
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 2: now and buy a Mars Bar, is the mass bar

413
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 2: as big as the Mars bar weed knew when we

414
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 2: were kids. Well, I don't think it is.

415
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: Oh, now that's a good question. I kind of haven't

416
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: had a Mars Bar in years. But I reckon they are.

417
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: But o'h happily be corrected.

418
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 2: I reckon they're smaller. I reckon they're smaller.

419
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 1: We'll go to a quick break. We've got Paul on

458
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 2: not sure, but I do recall that Alaska the name

459
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 2: is still here somewhere now. I on my Australia remember

460
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 2: when Facebook page, I had quite a few people commenting

461
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 2: on Lolly's and in this case biscuits as somebody remembered

462
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 2: Zach's and that created an enormous amount of discussion. And

463
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 2: then Fiona said, my great aunt used to always bring

464
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 2: one for my sister and I when she visited. They

465
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 2: were wrapped individually in a green foil paper, possibly other

466
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 2: colors also. I strongly suspect they were the forerunner of

467
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 2: tim tams. And then a lot of people came on

468
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 2: and said they remember Zax. Somebody said that even before

469
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 2: Zax there was a biscuit called Coucker, like like a

470
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 2: cucker Borough, but couckar k w o ka. It was

471
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 2: like two original Tim Tams and people saying how they've

472
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 2: been racking their brains for years trying to think of

473
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 2: the name of Zach's or Coucker's.

474
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, now, didn't Tim Tams the name come about because

475
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: of a race horse? I don't know. Do you know

476
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: this story?

477
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 2: I don't know that.

478
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: Apparently the Arnot's guy who came up with Tim Tams,

479
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: there was a horse running in a race Gamber responsibly

480
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: and he named the biscuit after the horse, the Tim Tam.

481
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 2: Okay, it was called.

482
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, the horse was Tim. I don't know if for one,

483
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: but I reckon n it's the one with the name,

484
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 1: that's for sure.

485
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 2: Absolutely and bu yeah, they absolutely fantastic.

486
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: They are indeed, Joe at Manopara, Joe.

487
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 10: You evening gentlemen. In the UK we call them sweeties,

488
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 10: not the least in Glasgow certainly. But here's here's my

489
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 10: from my childhood in Glasgow as a child eight nine

490
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 10: to seven, pick a number was snowballs. These snowballs not

491
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 10: them here, but they weren't the same. Inside chocolate with

492
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 10: a bit of coconut on the outside. But that that

493
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 10: that was it here, but certainly no resemblance to the

494
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 10: UK or the Scottish snowballs. Now now the sweetie was tablet.

495
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 10: Your Scottish listeners will know this. There's there's tablet what

496
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 10: your parents your mom cooked ninety eight percent sugar and

497
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 10: your mom cooked to put it in the freezer and

498
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 10: that's what you ate. You couldn't buy them in real

499
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 10: life at the time. You can still available, right, but

500
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 10: you certainly your mother made them. And macaroon bars.

501
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 1: Macaroon bars, yeah, I think.

502
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 10: We're here too, And but back in Glasgow they were

503
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 10: macaroon bars and spangles yeah right, which is was like

504
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 10: a cough volley here, a colt sweety here in the sense,

505
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 10: but it wasn't meant to be fixing your throat up

506
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 10: for coughing. But it was a sweet sweety in itself.

507
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 10: It was. It was hard and surely ninety eight percent sugar,

508
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 10: but it wasn't there for your health. It was just

509
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 10: it was just another sweety. But the ones in Australia

510
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 10: I don't remember. I came out here when I was

511
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 10: where eleven or twelve, and you could get spants members

512
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 10: spans yeah yeah, yeah, yep, with the coconut on the

513
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 10: outside and then and they looked like a potato. They

514
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 10: were called spats, and course.

515
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,320

523
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:42,800
Speaker 10: and the heat, the taste was just absolutely revolting. Maybe

Speaker 10: it would have been all those tastes, I'm sure, but

528
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 10: for some reason it was called a Dutch lickorice and

529
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 10: it was just a volting taste, very blank. Yeah, and
