Yep that’s them. I remember going on a houseboat holiday with friends about 10 years ago and finding some in a supermarket along the way, and we bought about 10 big packs each coz we hadn’t seen them for so long. Probably all we ate for the week. Great chips.

Just found a supermarket in our area stocking Toobs, so I duly bought a bag.
What a letdown! They’ve definitely changed the flavour. It’s more intense and sweet, closer to Burger Rings.
The beauty of Toobs in the past was that they weren’t too intensely flavoured (as Aussie chips tend to be).
Disappointed… add them to the pile of things like BBQ Shapes that have been incontrovertibly f’ed with.

Didnt know where else to put this.
Couldn’t locate a Confectionery Thread (shame Blitz, SHAME).
These things are the most incredible chocolates I’ve ever had, and by some margin.
Has anyone else had them ?
Going online now to order them !

These things are legit addictive.
Thin, yet crispy, almost crunchy. Intense, but natural tasting flavour. Only seen them at Foodworks and the not the major chains.

I reckon Tyrells takes some beating when it comes to potato chips.
Can’t come at them at full price though at the supermarket.

We were force fed cherry flavoured cough medicine, Brondecon, as kids. There is no way in hell cherry flavoured liquor chocolates would get near my lips.

I was a kid so long ago now that I can’t remember the taste of that medicine.

I didn’t mind the cherry-flavoured one. The one that got me was a prescribed medication Seneca Squills of Ammonia (sp?) which I simply gagged on.

Oh yeah… Senega! Licorice-flavoured ammonia solution (close enough to aniseed-flavoured bleach). I used to work in the testing lab for a company that made that stuff. This was back in the days before OHS types banned tasting as being part of the mandatory test regime. Foul, foul muck that stuff was.
The one I remember Mum shoving down our gullets as kids was called Milk Of Magnesia. A creamy, chalky sort of solution. I think it was for stomach upsets or for when we were “zipped up” (to… umm… “get things moving” if you catch my drift…) That and Mercurocrome are the lasting medical memories from my youth…
What about cod liver oil? Nasty
We’d get a dose of that whenever we needed to throw-up for whatever reason.
I remember my little sister being force-fed near enough to a bottle of that stuff in a frantic attempt to evacuate her stomach contents after my next-door neighbour and I figured it would be a good idea to get her to try the red & white toadstools/mushrooms that sometimes grew in our garden. What little shiits we were…
The cod-liver oil didn’t do the job and she was summarily whisked off to Maroondah Hospital. Whatever A&E gave her… did, and fast.
