Since we're all reminiscing, does anyone here remember Pizzos chips? With their slogan Pizzas in a bag Pizzos Pizzos. I'm almost at the point that I think I've made them up. But then I thought that about the TV show Galaxy Rangers and eventually I found that on the net. SO I'm still holding out hope.

you might want to wash that down with some zap chocolate milk!

Is that you acknowledging the existence of Pizzos?

actually no, I dont remember them, just that the thought of chips made me think of another old favourite..

sorry!

I always walked to s chool when going to Kapuni school, if someone offered you a ride home and you turned them down you were frowned on at home, to bad if you didn't know them.
I always still laugh at how my parents would be shot today, as a 4 year old on the farm the old man would sit me on the drivers seat of tractor, put it in gear and I would hold it in straight line while he fed out the hay, as we got close to the fance at end he would jump off trailer, jump on back of tractor, turn the steering wheel and get back on trailer etc. God help us how we survived I still trying to work out.
Mind you I come from a family of 18 kids , so the old man probably figured he could risk a few of us without too much worry

18???? Your poor mum. Was she able to walk?

There was only two one TV channels back in the day to be fair

Fucking kids

I remember all the hoopla when TV3 came out back in 1990. So exciting, a strange mix of shithouse NZ game shows and hilarious US comedies.

EDIT: Come to think of it Home Improvement and Family Matters haven’t aged particularly well…..

We didn't have it in Hawkes Bay for a long time, so my sister's friend used to send her a videotape of recorded Home and Away each week. I do remember staying up in Auckland and watching Gabriella Sabatini in the tennis on TV3. Hubba hubba.

Night line was good value as it always had strange videos of strip clubs, wet t shirt contests and seeing tits was awesome in my early teens.

Well, seeing tits is awesome at 44 too come to think of it.

Joanna Paul and Belinda Todd wasn't it? Their irreverance was a big departure from the BBC straight laced style of TVNZ at the time. Now it's almost all trash

Yeah I was channel surfing late at night, fuck knows where the folks ( who usually monopolised some crap on TV1 ) were and the roving reporters were interviewing two topless chicks at a jelly wrestling contest. Outstanding TV.

K bars. How good were they ? They were inconsistent though, how my teeth survived the tougher ones is anyone’s guess.

I can still get K bars

Milk at 2c a bottle. Used to stop at the dairy half way home from school and scull a cold one.
That or the milk bottles of “fruit juice”. Not sure what that flavour was but it was bloody nice.

Juice was orange or grapefruit. In glass bottles. Green, blue and silver foil topped milk in glass bottles. Delivered by the milkman

[Crucial]

@canefan the “grapefruit” had something else in it. A mystery ingredient

Edit: google indicates a small % of feijoa. Makes sense.
