Re: Old Skool Packaging

Yeah! for me too. I had loads of those from the corner shop in my Gran's village. A regular haunt whenever my folks went to visit.

It's only after browsing this forum that I realise just how much stuff I've lost over the years!

I remember collecting Star wars cards and also Superman the movie ones,the chewing gum that came with them had quite a unique flavour ,if I remember rightly it was bloody awful

Ah Australia. Givers of the Tim Tam. Sure it's little more than a Penguin with delusions of grandeur, but they are nicer.

Kangaroo steak sucks though.

But back to PK. I miss old packaging. I had no problem with a paper sleeve or a window on a plastic bag that let light shine in on me ready salted. The crisps were never going to be around long enough anyway! Can remember the big bags of crisps from either Sainsburys or M&S - roast chicken flavour. Usually opened on the way home. And Kit Kat just isn't the same without the sleeve.

Tell me about it! I've just spotted the Wrigley's PK packet - had forgotten all about them until just now.

Hard coated chewing gum was really posh back then. Nowadays, just try finding a packet of Juicy Fruit that isn't that Strappleberry muck.

And Funny Feet rule!

You can still get PK in Australia and the packaging is still the same. I used to like Beech nut that came from those shop front vending machines.

That Star Wars bubblegum card pack brings back serious memories.

I cannot help but think that the old Galaxy packaging has far more class than the new version.

And as for Caramac... Loved it when I was a kid, had some a couple years ago and realised that I would rather have my stomach lining climb up than have the Caramac go down.
