Totally ripping off the idea of a current thread (all you mcfeast lovers know who you are!) but who is missing their favourite snacks and foods that, for some reason or another, dissapeared from shelves?

- McFeast burgers
- Monaco Ice Cream Bars
- Original Milo Bars (with so much milo in one mouthful it was dangerous to breath in case you copped a lung full of brown particles)

this could prove very very bad for those with cravings original.gif

Yep, most definitely...

Sometimes you can still get Monaco bars... during summer I am addicted to them... or at least I was before they became scarce... but when I come across one I usually get them.

Monarco bars were my fav ice creams.

I also miss nut chews, strawberry chews and caramel chews. I can not find them any where.

If any one can still find them, please let me know.

If evolution really works, why do mums only have 2 hands?
I used to always get a McFeast at McDonalds, DH and I were talking about this the other day.... Cant even rememeber what was so good about them now.

I used to love the Nut Chews as well!

Saw YoYo biscuits in my Coles today, I havent seen them since living in Adelaide as a kid (Oh No! The YoYou ad jingle is playing in my head right now) blink.gif

Someone mentioned Toobs the other day.... I have missed them!

I remember a cereal we used to get as kids but can't remember its name. They were little round muesli type things and they were yummo and often used to take them to school for little lunch.

Don't crowd Sir Walter, Edmund.
My favourite ice-cream from yesteryear that I miss is the Hazelnut Roll. They were yum!

It's rare that I find Monaco bars these days... probably been 2 years since I found a regular supply... just the occasional place that has them one day and nothing the next... *sigh*
