First Georgie Pie, now this!!!!
Technically this bastion of 80's life for nz children, alongside k-bars and tangy fuits has not passed away, but it has been re-moddelled, re-branded, re-shaped and re-packaged.
Nothing was quite as cool as pretending to smoke on these. I decided to handle the jandle when they stopped colouring one end red to make them not look like ciggies,(bloody P.C. bandits!!)but this is the final straw!
I have purchased the last packet i could find with the old design, as a keep-sake. perhaps I should donate it to the Museum as a momento of my g-g-generation....
here is a link to a site that i commend for doing their bit to preserve the memory of this confectionery.
please register your disgust to
Carousel Confectionery Limited
53 Railway Road
Palmerston North
I'll try to find a pic of the new space GIRL on the packets, otherwise, head along to your local dairy to see this abhoration for yourself!!

that t shirt is super cool! Yes I fondly remember smoking candy sticks. If i'm honest I was still doing it last year. Pegs, rolled up receipts and lollie pop sticks also do the job, but nothing beats a birthday candle because these actually have smoke coming off them. Remember K bars?
