Wagon Wheels used to be 12 inches in diameter!!!

Nah we were all kids then so they seemed bigger....at least that's what the fuckers would want us to believe.

When Disco's crisps came with an extra packet of pure MSG 'flavour bomb'.

The 90s were mint.

My Grandma used to make John Bulls.
Minced beef in gravy, sandwiched between two slices of potato, dipped in batter and deep fried in lard.
Incredible.
Found a chip shop online in Blackburn that still did them a few years ago. Which would makes sense as my Grandad used to work up there.

My Granda used to give us coke with two scoops of ice cream

Anyone else used to get these?

I can remember if mum used to go out & I was hungry, 1st stop was the biscuit tin, usually empty because I had 2 big brothers,
Next to check was for packets of solid cooking jelly in the kitchen cupboard, next it was see if I could find any cooking chocolate which had a weird texture & tasted odd but was better than nothing,
After that it was any raisens & sultanas used for cooking, & if things got really desperate I have tasted Bob Martin Dog Chock Drops!

I lived in Northenden as a kid. On the corner of Kingsley Road and Church Road was a pet shop that used have have big paper bags of dried dog food outside. Whenever I walked past always grabbed a handful to eat. It tasted a bit gritty, but was OK.
