I got fooled into trying one once,there was no second attempt.I understand some people enjoyed them but certainly not me.
Different people have alternate tastes in food and i have no problem with that,there are undoubtedly some things that i really enjoy that other people hate.The perfect example is lamb (which i love),i know many people who will not touch it

My Mother in Law won't touch lamb and I'm pretty sure a Chiko roll would also be out of the question as well.

Isn't life wonderful. Love your children. Give them a tingle as well. Let their brains grow with fruit tingles.

The slow crawl up the hill on Barrenjoey Road, Palm Beach during a sunny day in 1969

Going up York St. towards George St in Sydney if the bus was loaded, people sometimes had to get off between stops as the double decker bus couldn't get up the hill. 🤣

Poor people. Hope they got home. Lucky you did.

The old Burwood Westfield

I went to the Astor Picture Theatre which was there before Westfield, many times on a Saturday afternoon.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

And what was the best picture or most memorable picture you saw there?

 

[BZN]

Yep, I had one of those cases. ✅

They were good to sit on when you were waiting for the School Special bus.

And what was the best picture or most memorable picture you saw there?

It would've been a Charlie Chaplin movie with piano accompaniment, before those new fangled talkies.

 

[BZN]

And what was the best picture or most memorable picture you saw there?

The Abominable Snowman. Pretty scary back in those days.
That's the only one I remember now, to looooooong ago.

Wow. Promoting violence in an advertisement. But at least the baddie got what was coming to him eh!

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Ballsy. That's for sure.

Did you know they don’t make the multi-coloured fruit tingles anymore?

Not sure ...before my time but i think there was a cinema on the street when they built westfields sort of adjoining it.
Saw Planet of the Apes I think and towering inferno there...usually went to Kings at Ashfield

2 good films. Heston, Newman and Mcqeen.
