Hang your broekies on the line.

Where's the line?

On the grass.

Where's the grass?

Up your ass?

My South African wife says she's never heard it when I asked the time 20mins ago.

I can't have imagined it was something only I said??? I know it's a British thing but never heard it without the broekies part...

Nostalgia Discontinued sweets and chocolates

121 Upvotes

Saw a post about discontinued fast food but what about sweets and chocolates?

Personally, I miss Yes/No bars, Tempo, chocolate logs and steers flavour simba chips!

I would kill for another bag of those chips.

Which treats or snacks do you miss?

Don’t know if it’s just me, but the negativity around South Africa has felt a bit heavy lately. I found this video this morning that just gave me a different perspective. It doesn’t change the reality of our frustrating government, but it’s a beautiful reminder of why we love this place. šŸŒāœØ

Can we not start a petition to bring this back?

Hearing the fades and mixes that Kent did with Pure Surprise, Love You Better, ALL the Liquideep and the other bangers of the time was just too good on a Friday.

Nostalgia Strawberry Pencil Sweet?

0 Upvotes

Hi guys!

wow really need some help - can’t get it out of our heads.

My fiancƩ & I both figured out that we both were obsessed with strawberry pencils when we were in school. We were in different schools in different provinces so safe to say, we are soul mates. lol.

We spoke about it and we both liked the EXACT same brand.

Came in a pack of 4 long strips, all stuck together but you can pull them apart - in plastic packaging.

does anyone know what I’m talking about? and if so, anyone know what it’s called and what the old packaging looked like? I’m dying for some nostalgic dopamine.

thanks in advance
