After the recent Tudor Crisps nostalgia, I found this little gem.
Remember Hedgehog flavour, and Fish & Chips mini little buscuity things complete with false newspaper wrapping.
Great stuff is snack related trivia. Picked up this handy hint for
homemade potnoodles.
Shread a cardboad box put it in a cup with a teaspoon of bisto, pour
on boiling water and leave to stand for 3 minutes...hey presto pucker potnoodle.
Cheers CC.
Retro "Snack" Trivia
Re: Retro "Snack" Trivia
If you go to Cadbury's World in Birmingham, there is a small
museum round the back (near the play area) that is free to
get in.
It has the story of Cadbury's, and has a few displays with
old chocolate wrapper's in them.
Everyone who looks in the display cabinets always says
'oh do you remember them'.
As an aside, did you know how enlightened the Cadbury
family were. There factory used to be in the centre of the
city, and it was full of back to back housing and smoky
factories.
The Cadbury family moved the whole factory out to the
area called Bournville (which was in the country then)
and built a whole village for the people that worked
for them.
They insisted on each house having a large garden and
the house could not be more than a certain percentage
of the land it stood on.
They also built play areas, tennis courts and so on.
Mind you, they were Quackers and would not allow
a pub in the vilage of Bournville, and even though the
city has encircled it there is still no pubs in Bournville.
It is now a protected area and you need special
permission to make changes to your house. It is
well worth a look round.
