When I was a kid…
...Big Macs were bigger!
...Wagon Wheels were the size of well… a wagon wheel and had HEAPS of jame and marshmello! Now they are tiny with hardly a lick or either!
...Cadbury Creme egg filling was runnier and would dribble down the side if you bit it in half. Now its just…thick!?
...there was no Vegimite 2.0. If you didnt like it you were unAustralian!
...Minties were hard as little white rocks until you sucked on them enough to warm them up to chewing consistancy!

...kids played in the street (not on a gaming console)
...the school canteen sold lots of sweet sugary goodness!
It was always Saturday !!!!!!
