Thanks.

Hope the pic was a worthwhile addition. I bought this year another forgotten food bit of memorabilia from ebay, a 70's squeaky toy sold to promote Wondermash.

That's how I remember the Lion Bar in the late 70's early 80's

Re: Old Skool Packaging

Further to the 1967 crisp packet from last year, I saw in the news that a washed up Coca Cola can from 1988 was found on a beach near Edinburgh (the can had the Seoul Olympics sponsorship on the side of it, hence the date of it). Did the person who drank the beverage came from the same area, I wonder? I assume that they ignored the Keep Britain (or even Scotland) Tidy legislation, and did not put the empty can in the nearest litter bin when had finished drinking it.

I know that they had a lot of sponsorship merchandise such as sports bags and the like back then as they were the main company behind the Olympics - it was my first school bag when I went onto Year 7 but enough said about that.

It did remind me of having a can of Coke (or perhaps Tango) in my hand while on a sunny Sunday afternoon circa 1988 with the family, visiting the Nottingham Arboretum. Mind you, I drink Pepsi and Fanta these days...

Re: Old Skool Packaging

We had a evergreen hedge in our back garden. Those things suck the moisture out of the ground making some very dry conditions.When we cut the thing back to the trunks a few years ago we were finding old crisp and sweet wrappers buried in the leaf mould alongside milk bottles going back into the 80's.Most were still readable, but were very brittle. River mud can also protect some plastic packaging as we found out digging for old bottles.
