What about the old wrapping:

Cherry Ripe wrapped in tin foil with paper wrapper skin.
Kit Kat were the same.
Turkish Delight had a cardboard slab and wrapped in a thick printed foil.
Waggon Wheels with a paper slip wrapper and the word Wagon had two "G's".u

Buying a bottle of Coke and having the get the lid ripped off with the store bottle opener.

Also Orange FRIST in steel cans before ring pulls. You had to puncture the lid with a can opener that left a triangle cut.

and who stole the "33" from Brute 33?

Anyone remember "Cue Cola" I used to buy and drink everyday from the school canteen.

If you miss triple treat ice creams go to woollies and buy a box of Turkish delight ice creams . Can't tell the difference.
