What a story Christian! Of course Mrs Lower will remember, she has the memory of an Elephant!! Side note: I used to buy the Mint Carobs for 2c, way better!
I once had an argument with my best friend because she gave me the head of a baby jelly and the body to another friend. Obviously the body was bigger and hairs were pulled and we all had to visit the Principal's office ... all for a freaking baby jelly!
Oh awesome scam!!! Good work! Loved ovalteenies! And the tiny Nutella packets that came with a kinda palette knife to eat it with. I don't recall having carob. They froze yogurts so we would have that for lunch. The ends of the bread loaf they would butter and sell for 5c each. O. J. Orange ice blocks were the best ever and sunnyboys We had what I remember to be really large meat pies that were actually really nice, I don't recall ever getting gristle in it, and of course on Friday no meat but you could get a fish fillet roll. Totally remember the eucalyptus drops! Used to love being in charge of getting the lunch orders for the day, the ladies would usually sneak us a sweet treat.
I actually keep seeing those noodles being sold. I'm pretty sure I brought a pack a few years back and tried to eat them raw like I used to in primary school but it just didn't taste right at all. I've considered giving them another try again though.
Omg the frozen Orange Juice cups! They were literally the best thing ever. My school had orange juice flavour and black currant flavour. They were absolutely amazing. I used to go around to all of my friends every single day and ask for any spare change that they had, even if it was 5 cents, and I would add it all up until I had the $1 to buy one 😂
Who remembers Ingam’s pizza roundas?? They were the best, but I never saw them outside of my primary and high school canteen! I know McCains has their own pizza pockets but it’s not the same 😂
The highlight at our canteen was. Hazelnut roll bubble O Bill Choc Wedge Red jelly with tin peaches homemade pizza (people would actually fight over it) Clinkers $1 lolly bag Smileys (potato things) Frozen juice boxes
My mum ran the canteen for a couple of years at my primary school. I had such bragging rights being able to go behind the counter and pick what I wanted
I went to a small school in a country town, we didn't have a canteen but on lunch order day when we could order something from the corner shop I would always go for a Neenish Tart... Which I've tried as an adult and it was bloody awful! Can't wait for high school edition! 💜
This is flippin hilarious! I volunteer in my son's school canteen and our year 6s help out and they get $2 to spend. I'm pretty sure I witnessed one of them giving extra Vegemite toast to a friend...
We just had limited school tuk shop choices. We could only get stuff on Friday’s and it was all homemade with the produce from the school garden that the stag at home mums would cook up. I remember we would get sushi and salads. We could get healthy ice cream and healthy cakes. Healthy cookies were so good. Sometimes we would get nachos and burritos. We couldn’t choose what we wanted because we only had like 2 options per week. It was the best when they would change the drink option from smoothies to hot chocolate or when it was dads day. All the dads would come in and cook up a bbq. We would have a sausage sizzle and burgers and you could choose which bread you wanted (bun or slice) and they would always have hot chocolate instead of smoothies. I think one time they made like a pizza thing with a pie and it was o good because it was all just healthy usually. It would cost $6 but you would have gotten a feast. Like adult sized portions and it was sooooooo yummy 😋
Omg this brings back so many memories My fav was the scribbler iceblock 😊 oh and the hot popcorn sold in the little yellow bags so much salt and butter 😋
I hope your high school experience included cobbers!!! Can anyone else remember them?? Little chunks of caramel/toffee coated in chocolate!!! Best tuckshop/canteen treat ever!!! 😊😋🍫
I think that is where Christian went to the Tom's Confectionery Warehouse in Bris as I think that he has bought a place in Brisbane now. He said that it was Tom's Confectionery Warehouse. It was most likely the one at Nudgee Road at Hendra.
I bought some of those tattoo bubble gums in jan. I gave up smoking with those eacalyptus drops. Also saved me from having an epidural during labor. I just asked for one of them everytime I felt like I'd explode lmao. My mind connects it with stress and I calm down.
Oh my god I remember all of these when I went to primary school and I’m now 29 years old I so want to find some of these now just bring back my childhood
Awww memories!! ♥️ When I was super young a family member had me convinced there were special cows that pumped out those caramel buds lol. Similar colour I think. They still get described as caramel bud cows now.
Hit of nostalgia watching this! We had icy cups which came in so many different coloured flavours and we’d end up with coloured lips and tongues walking into class 😂 the zooper doopers were thee best things in a Qld summer 🤌🏼
How good is Tom’s Confectionery Warehouse! I was there today with my husband and we were looking at the carob buds and talking about how they were only 1c when we were in school! My favourite thing to get from the tuckshop was two minute noodles “without the juice”. It came in a styrofoam cup with a blue plastic cup holder around it. When you bought the cup holder back you got 10c back, so I’d get ten carob buds. Or five peppermint ones.
The carob buds at my school were 5c each. Ripped off lol or maybe 2 for 5 cents. Still ripped off lol. Omg those 2 min noodles in the foam cups were the best noodles ever lol.
Haha yeah totally had the same lollies etc. It was great! I got 20 cents every now and then and had a hard time choosing. But made most of the same choices. Or finders! They were a long lasting choice hahaha
The 80s and 90s were an awesome time to be a kid. I ate so much crap, was skinny and then puberty hit. I got so, so fat. I had to stop the canteen trips for a while and sick to the carot sticks 🤭
When I was in primary school and high school our canteen didn't sell lollies (small rural school). But during the Athletics Carnivals, the footy club mum's made a tuckshop for the kids and they sold lollies. Every year they'd have a box of Allen's Spearmints, and I'd spend almost all of my lunch order money on these damn chewy spearmint sticks (much like redskins & milo's) and they were delicious! I also loved the frozen yoghurt cups, and the billabong bubbleberry ice-creams. This was all during the '90s.
When you bit into the Ovaltine, triggered. Could instantly feel all the moisture being sucked out of my mouth 😂😂 I school also had the frozen orange juice! And they also sold frozen pineapple rings in summer, so good!
The year of the Brisbane commonwealth games, we had to do a project and my dad bought me these fancy gold silver and bronze pens to draw the medals. I thought it would be a good idea to colour in the old 1c and 2c pieces to make them look like 5c and 10c (which could still buy a bit back in 82!) I must have passed some around because someone got caught trying to spend them at the canteen 😮
I used to buy a SunnyBoy but could never eat it fast enough so half went in the bin lol I used to love those red icy poles that had that blue popping candy coating but i can't remember the name of them ?!
My husband still buys those carobs and freckles at our small towns chocolate shop. I used to buy burgerman, sunfruits, and those little apricot/coconut balls.
It was awesome getting in your lunch order from the tuck shop. Zooper doopers in summer were lit though Also watching this made me recall a time when I was ordering some gummy bears, one side of my face bleeding (hit the ashfelt hard just earlier, but me being a dumbass 10 yo I honestly didn't care), the mum serving at the tuck shop felt so sorry for me that she gave me free gummy worms.
HILARIOUS!!! The memories you rekindled with all the goodies at the school canteen.....WOW!!! a trip down memory lane for sure!! I also remember the triangular juice boxes!! Like Sunny boys but with cola flavour too!!
I feel so old. Primary school for me was 1985-92 (in Tassie). Our school canteen for recess and lunch was a window off the school office. We had nougat bars, choc frogs, raspberry lollies, cobbers, jelly babies, choc and caramel buds and a few other things my old ass (I'm 39) can't recall. If you had a lunch order, you didn't pick it up from there, you got picked out of the students in your class to go and get them from the PE shed. Which for some reason had a kitchen in it. Granted it was used for assemblies etc..but still. You used to feel like hot shit being picked. Oh and in summer (lol. Tassie summer) we got Zooper doopers or lemonade icy poles. Sadly my old school was burnt down in the Dunalley fires. I loved that school.
Forget eucalyptus drops! Eucalyptus diamonds was where it was at! They were flat, green, diamond-shaped eucalyptus flavoured hard candies, which sadly went out of production in the early 2000s, the same company makes the same candies, in ‘log’ form, but they’re not the same 😢 I also loved ‘sun faces’, allen’s toffee apple bar thingies (discontinued now 😔) omg and movietime flavoured popcorn from the canteen! I used to buy two packets of the cheese flavour and take one of them home, my sis and I were like movietime cheese popcorn addicts! 😆 I remember when she finished primary school, she’d ask me to bring some home for her still because she’s 6 years older and high school didn’t sell it
Tip top drink , sherbet straws. Wagonwheel, Fruit salads and black jacks, cola cubes ,dip dabs , Mr freeeze pops, gobstoppers, Hubba Bubba bubblegum with free tattoo were a few of my sweet favourite things.
OMG the redskin point!! You could stab an eye out with that if it was a hard one, couldn't do it with the floppy ones. Sunny Boys were my favorite, triangle icy poles in a cardboard carton for 50c a big ticket item.
I was only allowed to order once a week - Monday - always the same thing - a sausage roll. Never allowed anything else as my parents spent their money on smoles and coke - the drink. This was of course after rent, bills, etc. But, I do remember those lollies - the caramel ones were the best - still are. Red skins after swimming carnivals. I also used to hunt the playground for money, lol. I now volunteer in my sons' high school canteen and yeah, all the good stuff is gone. All replaced with "healthy canteen" stuff. Mind you, we have to follow "portion control" as apparently huigh school kids cannot be trusted to watch what they eat - but they can go and get jobs and drive cars *sighs* And food and drinks have to be above 3 stars or else it's out.
All those lollies I remember from when my kids were young. I also remember the musk sticks but they were in fruit flavours - i think orange, lemon and lime.
Big boss! My local IGA owner would give us a big marshmallow for free every purchase. they came out with big boss and then we'd get them. And before burger men there were these pink prawn snack chips you'd get from a fruit shop. We had fruit cups too. Split the plastic spoon into bits. They'd use sars cordial for the "coke" cups and it was amazing. You'd suck the flavor out and then turn it around so you'd end up with a big ball of ice lmao
Big Boss cigars! I looooove them, well they used to be called Big Boss cigars, and had like pinky/red sugar crystals on one end so it actually looked like a lit cigar 😂
Oh the red skins! I remember getting them in the dead of winter and it would be so cold outside that the pointy bit would go crispy if it was thin enough
Omg yes!!! The orange juices were my favourite. I always bought them as well as slush puppies (basically frozen coke but the ice was different) and ovaltines. I didn't have money often but kids would always try to steal my food
Ohhh my dear Ambassador Christian how quick you forget when I sent you those two large bags of my Little River General Store lollys, full of old time favorites from my traditional lolly counter. Yes you have moved and sad I am but I can send you more if you like, beware of confectionary shops a lot sell cheap alternatives. Xx
At high school (all girls cathloic school) in nz in our school canteen we had these spicy chicken roll thing it was a French stick cut up with a few of these spicy chip things and spicy char grilled chicken breast (similar to the subway chicken classic strip) it was so good it has lettuce too. In nz we also had these thing called juicies wildberry flavoured frozen juice thing. If you g o back to toms go to the nz section and get a kbar in raspberry blackberry orange and lime they are a hard toffey treat you can suck on these for a long time lol. At primary school every Friday we could order fish and chips as there was a chip shop next door and we could do (iou's) I never paid mine back lol
I remember eating them from the canteen and the corner shop I remember one of the students in class going to get the lunch orders for everyone in the class who ordered one I use to get one once a week
I’m hoping your corner shop video has red clouds and the pink ears!! The never had them at my school but we could only get the from the kiosk at the swimming carnival. 😍
At my primary school tuck shop, they used to put paddle pop sticks in the juice cups and freeze them so that you could pull it out and eat it like an ice-block - GENIUS. It was quite a downgrade when I got to high school and they didn’t do this.
Oh its an expensive trip, down memory lane, made the same mistake yesterday, just popping into the 'Lolly Shop' for a special treat from my childhood. Thankyou Christian. P.S. Love the SA-FM Sign.
The tip with the frozen juice cups was to manoeuvre them out of the cup and flip it upside down and the bottom was wayyy softer because that's where it was the most sugar. We were able to get them waiting for the bus after school from the canteen 😂
Like the OJ, but a frozen mini choc milk for 35c. And if you bought them at recess, there wasn’t enough time to eat them. And sherbet pops were the bomb.
At our school of over 150 kids we had not canteen, we had to order our lunch from the shop way down the street. Then 30 mins before lunch 3 kids would walk down and get the lunches
Frozen Orchy were the bomb (I think all canteens froze the orange juice tubs) There was also the white chocolate carob wheels. Dynamite milk was another favourite 😁 The UFO lollipops that your parents bribed you with I always hated them, our school also sold Nutella packs the little fun size with the plastic paddle 😋 , and paddle pops 😂 one of the canteen ladies didn't know to take the free paddle pop stick off you when you won and you could reuse them for unlimited paddle pops we got away with that for a few weeks till the teachers caught on 😂
I use musk sticks to torture my American co-workers. XD Oh man, does anyone remember those choc-mint Paddle Pops? Those were the SHIZ. And the yoghurt-covered Ovaltinis.
Christian if it makes you feel any better I used to “steal” ice blocks. Our tuckshop was only open on a Friday (school didn’t condone sugar filled days 5 days a week. Also I’m pretty sure all the teachers hated Friday’s for this reason). We had to write our orders down on brown bags and put our money in the bag and at lunch we could go collect the bag with the food in it. However, at lunch time you had to take your bag back up to the tuckshop if you’d ordered an ice cream or ice block. Mum never ordered me one so I’d throw my bag in the bin and walk up to the tuckshop crying because I forgot about the ice block. There was never anything on my bag and I got a free ice block every Friday for 6 years! Also mildly certain all the tuckshop ladies (AKA my friends mums) all knew I was telling lies but helped me out anyway 😂
I am a adult and I live off musksticks and burgerman chips (well equivalent to them cause I can’t find them anywhere) ohh the memories 😌 after the required weekly drowning session in the public pool (swimming lesson) always spend the $2 coin Dad gave me on a slush puppy, burger man chips and a grape fizzer stick that I’d try to make last the whole car ride home ☺️💭 The Memories of Australian Childhood
JJs, mami noodles and all the sugary delights were all the rage at my Primary school canteen. I went through year 7 before my high school canteen went to healthy alternatives, which I was like no not the chips and gravy. Completely forgot about chips and gravy till recently, the maccas loaded fries would be the closest flavour match to my high schools chips and gravy.
So true! I went to a private Christian school and my senior year the tuition was $7,000 a year. After I graduated it went up 500 dollars. I heard it is now $8,000 could be even more. But the teachers hardly got paid.
Reading some of these comments make me feel much older than I am 😂 The hot lunch orders where Pizza Hut did tiny little pieces and the crusts were amazing! Funny Faces we’re 20c, the orange was the best. We also had frozen 300ml masters choc milk, spearmint milk and strawberry milk. The bottom was the best bit because all the flavouring accumulated there and it was chewy and delicious. Chips Chup ice creams. Crushing Maggi noodles in the packet and eating them uncooked. My mum would bribe us with those sherbet lollipops to go to church . Memories!
We had those frozen orange juice at my primary school tuckshop and they were extremely popular. All of my friends had them and make awful noice by turning them. They took so long to eat them and would take them to class after lunch and sometimes the teacher would either tell them to hurry up and finish it or tell them to throw them away.
Christian, I'm Kylie Lower. Mrs Lower is my mum. I've just sent her the video. Hahaha
What a story Christian! Of course Mrs Lower will remember, she has the memory of an Elephant!! Side note: I used to buy the Mint Carobs for 2c, way better!
Haha this is so great! Now I wanna see @ChristianHull reacting to @MrsLowers reaction 🤣😂🤣
SHUT UP. OMG NO. That’s amazing. I haven’t seen you in forever. You and Claire were my favourite Lowers. Hope you’re well. Say hi to mum for me.
Mrs Lower says:
I remember it vividly and I told your mum and everyone else who would listen lol xx
Loving this 🤗
I once had an argument with my best friend because she gave me the head of a baby jelly and the body to another friend. Obviously the body was bigger and hairs were pulled and we all had to visit the Principal's office ... all for a freaking baby jelly!
Oh awesome scam!!! Good work!
Loved ovalteenies! And the tiny Nutella packets that came with a kinda palette knife to eat it with.
I don't recall having carob.
They froze yogurts so we would have that for lunch.
The ends of the bread loaf they would butter and sell for 5c each.
O. J. Orange ice blocks were the best ever and sunnyboys
We had what I remember to be really large meat pies that were actually really nice, I don't recall ever getting gristle in it, and of course on Friday no meat but you could get a fish fillet roll.
Totally remember the eucalyptus drops!
Used to love being in charge of getting the lunch orders for the day, the ladies would usually sneak us a sweet treat.
We had Mamee noodles at our tuck shop. Oh, the memories. They were two-minute noodles, but eaten RAW. They were the best thing back then.
I always ate them raw, everyone told me I'd get worms and I'm like, "what? It's flour and water dumbasses." 😂
I actually keep seeing those noodles being sold. I'm pretty sure I brought a pack a few years back and tried to eat them raw like I used to in primary school but it just didn't taste right at all. I've considered giving them another try again though.
Omg the frozen Orange Juice cups! They were literally the best thing ever. My school had orange juice flavour and black currant flavour. They were absolutely amazing. I used to go around to all of my friends every single day and ask for any spare change that they had, even if it was 5 cents, and I would add it all up until I had the $1 to buy one 😂
Wow!! Bumming for change just for that one thing you want at the canteen! Now that takes me back!! 😂
Who remembers Ingam’s pizza roundas?? They were the best, but I never saw them outside of my primary and high school canteen! I know McCains has their own pizza pockets but it’s not the same 😂
They the ones that came in a cardboard box? And the topping would always stick to it 😑
Get the frozen Hawaiian pizza in a square from Aldi. Probably not the same but from memory I’d say pretty close 😂
Looks like they still sell them online! If I wasn’t a Coeliac I’d totally buy some!
Laura Powell oh I remember those ones! 😂 But the roundas were like buns with the pizza filling inside of it, they were so good!
@@lillian9065 I'm thinking of the McCain pizza singles, never had the pizza rounds but they sound yummy!
See- that’s where your Caramilk obsession was born from!!!! Caramel buds ❤️❤️❤️
Ovalteenies are the best! I'm 39 and I lived on them in primary school lol
The highlight at our canteen was.
Hazelnut roll
bubble O Bill
Choc Wedge
Red jelly with tin peaches
homemade pizza (people would actually fight over it)
Clinkers
$1 lolly bag
Smileys (potato things)
Frozen juice boxes
HAZELNUT ROLL. Holy shit I forgot about those.
Bubble o Bills are a lot smaller but, still the best.
BUBBLE O BILLS omg 😍
Going to school in the 80s it was that long ago that we still had junk food at the canteen, or tuckshop! My fave thing was the egg salad sandwiches 😁
Egg Salad Sandwiches are even yummier now. One thing that actually taste better as you get older lol.
My mum ran the canteen for a couple of years at my primary school. I had such bragging rights being able to go behind the counter and pick what I wanted
I went to a small school in a country town, we didn't have a canteen but on lunch order day when we could order something from the corner shop I would always go for a Neenish Tart... Which I've tried as an adult and it was bloody awful! Can't wait for high school edition! 💜
Tom's confectionery.. At Hendra in Brisbane.... I know it well lol a wonderland of happy memories 😁💖💖
And it opens very late 24/7 😁😁
Omg!!! The add that popped up when your talking about sucking things had me crying!!! " smooth, creamy, delicious!!" Haha an add for yoghurt bahahahah
Our canteen sold the frozen juice cups too. That scraping of the ice with the plastic spoon noise brought back so many memories.
This is flippin hilarious! I volunteer in my son's school canteen and our year 6s help out and they get $2 to spend. I'm pretty sure I witnessed one of them giving extra Vegemite toast to a friend...
YES MY SCHOOL HAD THISE FROZEN CUPS TOO THEY WERE SO GOOD
We just had limited school tuk shop choices. We could only get stuff on Friday’s and it was all homemade with the produce from the school garden that the stag at home mums would cook up. I remember we would get sushi and salads. We could get healthy ice cream and healthy cakes. Healthy cookies were so good. Sometimes we would get nachos and burritos. We couldn’t choose what we wanted because we only had like 2 options per week. It was the best when they would change the drink option from smoothies to hot chocolate or when it was dads day.

That comment started out sounding like it might be awful, but really sounds amazing...
Omg this brings back so many memories
My fav was the scribbler iceblock 😊 oh and the hot popcorn sold in the little yellow bags so much salt and butter 😋
I hope your high school experience included cobbers!!! Can anyone else remember them?? Little chunks of caramel/toffee coated in chocolate!!! Best tuckshop/canteen treat ever!!! 😊😋🍫
I remember my school canteen sold tiny lamingtons, they were smaller then a dice piece
I loved JJ chips with the little buildable dinosaur toy inside!!! They were the best!
I remember the noodles that had collectable erasers.
You should visit the confectionary warehouse in Brisbane
I think that is where Christian went to the Tom's Confectionery Warehouse in Bris as I think that he has bought a place in Brisbane now. He said that it was Tom's Confectionery Warehouse. It was most likely the one at Nudgee Road at Hendra.
Found those lolly pops in Woolies in a pack last week! Nostalgia! Yum
I bought some of those tattoo bubble gums in jan.
I gave up smoking with those eacalyptus drops. Also saved me from having an epidural during labor. I just asked for one of them everytime I felt like I'd explode lmao. My mind connects it with stress and I calm down.
Super tattoos. My son was amazed lmao. I was like "slow down! I paid 10 bucks for this shit!"
I found the tattoos and gum at the warehouse and bought them.
Those gum tattoos were the BEST! But omg eucalyptus drops in place of an epidural? I don’t even have kids n I think you’re stark raving mad for that!
Oh my god I remember all of these when I went to primary school and I’m now 29 years old I so want to find some of these now just bring back my childhood
My family goes to Tom's confectionery warehouse every year at easter!
It's amazing!!
I’m still in a sugar coma.
@@ChristianHull It's rare that we spend under $300 😂😂
We still have some left from this years haul
Awww memories!! ♥️
When I was super young a family member had me convinced there were special cows that pumped out those caramel buds lol. Similar colour I think. They still get described as caramel bud cows now.
Hit of nostalgia watching this!
We had icy cups which came in so many different coloured flavours and we’d end up with coloured lips and tongues walking into class 😂 the zooper doopers were thee best things in a Qld summer 🤌🏼

Makes me laugh you’re old enough that they sold lollies at the school canteen 😂 when I was in primary school they only sold ‘healthy choices’ 🙄😂
That one lollies day once a term tho 🤣
WHAT THE ACTUAL F***. This is so sad. I’m so sorry for your loss.
Haha yeah totally had the same lollies etc. It was great! I got 20 cents every now and then and had a hard time choosing. But made most of the same choices. Or finders! They were a long lasting choice hahaha
I left school as they were bringing that in. I had friends still in school and they told me about it.
The 80s and 90s were an awesome time to be a kid. I ate so much crap, was skinny and then puberty hit. I got so, so fat. I had to stop the canteen trips for a while and sick to the carot sticks 🤭

Oooh, you're just about to hit 100,000 subscribers! Bring on the fancy silver plaque from TH-cam. Keep up the great content 😊
When you bit into the Ovaltine, triggered. Could instantly feel all the moisture being sucked out of my mouth 😂😂
I school also had the frozen orange juice! And they also sold frozen pineapple rings in summer, so good!
I remember them getting stuck in my molars from crunching them
Thats such a good idea, im gonna do that for my kids In summer 🙂
The year of the Brisbane commonwealth games, we had to do a project and my dad bought me these fancy gold silver and bronze pens to draw the medals.

Sunny Boys used to taste so good.
I dunno what they were called or if I ever had those with the popping candy(I know that alone is called pop rocks) but I wish I did-sounds so good!
The frozen juice cups.....my school does EXACTLY the same. We aren’t aloud them at recess only lunch.😂 there is black currant and orange
I loved those white chocolate drops
My husband still buys those carobs and freckles at our small towns chocolate shop. I used to buy burgerman, sunfruits, and those little apricot/coconut balls.
"Omg their like eating memories..blurr I don't remember them being so sugary" haha lol
So relatable XD you can also get eucalyptus drops from the chemist... I’ve got 2 containers of them right now
I'll have to get some
I don’t think I’ve ever had those...
I have a permanent stash in my place!
It was awesome getting in your lunch order from the tuck shop.
Zooper doopers in summer were lit though
Also watching this made me recall a time when I was ordering some gummy bears, one side of my face bleeding (hit the ashfelt hard just earlier, but me being a dumbass 10 yo I honestly didn't care), the mum serving at the tuck shop felt so sorry for me that she gave me free gummy worms.
HILARIOUS!!! The memories you rekindled with all the goodies at the school canteen.....WOW!!! a trip down memory lane for sure!! I also remember the triangular juice boxes!! Like Sunny boys but with cola flavour too!!
Your childhood school canteen memories remind me of mine!!! This video was hilarious and spot on!!
Don't forget that smell of the sausage rolls omg
ooooh, I used to take the white chocolates, and then dip them into one of those tiny tubs of Nutella that they sold for 25c.... mmmmmmm
Yes!!!! This brings back memories! I was naughty and ran across the road to the corner shop because the red frogs were cheaper
I feel so old.
Primary school for me was 1985-92 (in Tassie).
Our school canteen for recess and lunch was a window off the school office.
We had nougat bars, choc frogs, raspberry lollies, cobbers, jelly babies, choc and caramel buds and a few other things my old ass (I'm 39) can't recall.

Sadly my old school was burnt down in the Dunalley fires. I loved that school.
Jelly joys, pizza roundas, JJ's , zooper doopers, TnT's, finny rollers and jumpys are still vividly in my memories 😍
Forget eucalyptus drops! Eucalyptus diamonds was where it was at!

Omg! Sherbert lollipops! They were the best thing before Chupachups & starbursts! Oh the memories ❤️❤️❤️
I think all primary school canteens in Australia were the same around this time. I remember buying ALL of these. Oh the nostalgia!
Toffee Apple lolly pops with the red and green are the best. Sooo good.
OMG the redskin point!! You could stab an eye out with that if it was a hard one, couldn't do it with the floppy ones. Sunny Boys were my favorite, triangle icy poles in a cardboard carton for 50c a big ticket item.
I was only allowed to order once a week - Monday - always the same thing - a sausage roll. Never allowed anything else as my parents spent their money on smoles and coke - the drink. This was of course after rent, bills, etc.
But, I do remember those lollies - the caramel ones were the best - still are. Red skins after swimming carnivals. I also used to hunt the playground for money, lol.
I now volunteer in my sons' high school canteen and yeah, all the good stuff is gone. All replaced with "healthy canteen" stuff. Mind you, we have to follow "portion control" as apparently huigh school kids cannot be trusted to watch what they eat - but they can go and get jobs and drive cars *sighs* And food and drinks have to be above 3 stars or else it's out.
Fresh buttered piklets and Sao's with cheese and tomato were a hit at my high school. The Apple pies were amazing too.
All those lollies I remember from when my kids were young. I also remember the musk sticks but they were in fruit flavours - i think orange, lemon and lime.
Hi Christian, you can by a big bags with the little individual bags of those ecalyptus in BigW.
Rosy Apples were AWESOME! Tom Confection Warehouse use to sell them...been years since the last time i went there....need to go again!
Kerry Hobden they rosy apples at my local amcal chemist for 65c 🙂
I am from the USA and we did not have canteens in school. I also did not even see or know what carob was until I was in my 20's.
Big boss! My local IGA owner would give us a big marshmallow for free every purchase. they came out with big boss and then we'd get them.
And before burger men there were these pink prawn snack chips you'd get from a fruit shop.
We had fruit cups too. Split the plastic spoon into bits. They'd use sars cordial for the "coke" cups and it was amazing. You'd suck the flavor out and then turn it around so you'd end up with a big ball of ice lmao
Big Boss cigars! I looooove them, well they used to be called Big Boss cigars, and had like pinky/red sugar crystals on one end so it actually looked like a lit cigar 😂
I swore I saw a Burgerman showbag just a couple of years ago, ahhh, the memories! I also lived for Wagon Wheels & cola Sunny Boys!
Oh the red skins! I remember getting them in the dead of winter and it would be so cold outside that the pointy bit would go crispy if it was thin enough
Omg yes!!! The orange juices were my favourite. I always bought them as well as slush puppies (basically frozen coke but the ice was different) and ovaltines. I didn't have money often but kids would always try to steal my food
Oh, and Sunnyboys, in either orange or cola flavour.
cola was the best :)
oMG sunny boys!!!!! I forgot all about them but this mention made me remember how good they were! I lived off them in Summer as a kid!! ❤️
Ohhh my dear Ambassador Christian how quick you forget when I sent you those two large bags of my Little River General Store lollys, full of old time favorites from my traditional lolly counter. Yes you have moved and sad I am but I can send you more if you like, beware of confectionary shops a lot sell cheap alternatives. Xx
At high school (all girls cathloic school) in nz in our school canteen we had these spicy chicken roll thing it was a French stick cut up with a few of these spicy chip things and spicy char grilled chicken breast (similar to the subway chicken classic strip) it was so good it has lettuce too. In nz we also had these thing called juicies wildberry flavoured frozen juice thing.
If you g o back to toms go to the nz section and get a kbar in raspberry blackberry orange and lime they are a hard toffey treat you can suck on these for a long time lol.
At primary school every Friday we could order fish and chips as there was a chip shop next door and we could do (iou's) I never paid mine back lol
I remember eating them from the canteen and the corner shop I remember one of the students in class going to get the lunch orders for everyone in the class who ordered one I use to get one once a week
I’m hoping your corner shop video has red clouds and the pink ears!! The never had them at my school but we could only get the from the kiosk at the swimming carnival. 😍
At my primary school tuck shop, they used to put paddle pop sticks in the juice cups and freeze them so that you could pull it out and eat it like an ice-block - GENIUS. It was quite a downgrade when I got to high school and they didn’t do this.
Oh its an expensive trip, down memory lane, made the same mistake yesterday, just popping into the 'Lolly Shop' for a special treat from my childhood. Thankyou Christian. P.S. Love the SA-FM Sign.
I freeze poppers its just like the the frozen orange juice best thing ever also I remember sunny boy ice poles oh the memories
The tip with the frozen juice cups was to manoeuvre them out of the cup and flip it upside down and the bottom was wayyy softer because that's where it was the most sugar. We were able to get them waiting for the bus after school from the canteen 😂
Tom's confectionery warehouse is awesome!!! I always walk out of there spending at least $100....🤣🤣 This video definitely brings back memories
Like the OJ, but a frozen mini choc milk for 35c. And if you bought them at recess, there wasn’t enough time to eat them. And sherbet pops were the bomb.
At our school of over 150 kids we had not canteen, we had to order our lunch from the shop way down the street. Then 30 mins before lunch 3 kids would walk down and get the lunches
Oh also they’d freeze chocolate milk at my school, you could get frozen juice too but frozen milk was my favourite thing ever
My primary school had frozen orange quarters and the sunny boy iceblocks
Frozen Orchy were the bomb (I think all canteens froze the orange juice tubs)
There was also the white chocolate carob wheels.
Dynamite milk was another favourite 😁
The UFO lollipops that your parents bribed you with I always hated them, our school also sold Nutella packs the little fun size with the plastic paddle 😋 , and paddle pops 😂 one of the canteen ladies didn't know to take the free paddle pop stick off you when you won and you could reuse them for unlimited paddle pops we got away with that for a few weeks till the teachers caught on 😂
I always loved the yellow carobs lol I would lay them on the paper bag in the sun and eat them when they were melty 😍😍
your shoutout to toms confectoinary reminded me how close to me you live lol
I miss living on the Northside of Bris as so many good shops there.
Ovaltines were life back in Primary school
My fave was the tiny fruit balls. 5c a bag they were heaven
Omg i had totally forgotten about those until i just read this. They were my favorite
I use musk sticks to torture my American co-workers. XD
Oh man, does anyone remember those choc-mint Paddle Pops? Those were the SHIZ. And the yoghurt-covered Ovaltinis.
Yaaasss 🙌 90's snacks. Looking fantastic BTW.
I went to a catholic school until year 4 and had soooo many of these at the canteen!!!!!!
MY SCHOOL HAD FROZEN JUICE TOO!!! And they would get tinned pineapple slices and freeze them AMAZING!!!
Christian if it makes you feel any better I used to “steal” ice blocks. Our tuckshop was only open on a Friday (school didn’t condone sugar filled days 5 days a week. Also I’m pretty sure all the teachers hated Friday’s for this reason). We had to write our orders down on brown bags and put our money in the bag and at lunch we could go collect the bag with the food in it. However, at lunch time you had to take your bag back up to the tuckshop if you’d ordered an ice cream or ice block. Mum never ordered me one so I’d throw my bag in the bin and walk up to the tuckshop crying because I forgot about the ice block. There was never anything on my bag and I got a free ice block every Friday for 6 years! Also mildly certain all the tuckshop ladies (AKA my friends mums) all knew I was telling lies but helped me out anyway 😂
I haven't heard of any of these sweets but I've had fun hearing about them.
I am a adult and I live off musksticks and burgerman chips (well equivalent to them cause I can’t find them anywhere) ohh the memories 😌 after the required weekly drowning session in the public pool (swimming lesson) always spend the $2 coin Dad gave me on a slush puppy, burger man chips and a grape fizzer stick that I’d try to make last the whole car ride home ☺️💭 The Memories of Australian Childhood
Yessss!!!! All of these! The OJ was my favourite!!!
RIP Burgermen, you were the elite primary school chip 🙌🏼
PS Fizzers were the bomb too 👌🏼
JJs, mami noodles and all the sugary delights were all the rage at my Primary school canteen. I went through year 7 before my high school canteen went to healthy alternatives, which I was like no not the chips and gravy. Completely forgot about chips and gravy till recently, the maccas loaded fries would be the closest flavour match to my high schools chips and gravy.
99.9k! By next vid you'll ve celebrating 100k! ♡ you deserve it ♡ especially after disappointing your mother with your canteen heist 😅🙊🌻
We didn't have a canteen in primary school just lunch orders from the local shop but you couldn't order lollies.
It's fine. The Catholic church has a lot of money.
CAROLYN!!!!!! Haha.
Christian Hull But you pay to go there just think all that money your we’re paying to going went towards the food you stole.
So true! I went to a private Christian school and my senior year the tuition was $7,000 a year. After I graduated it went up 500 dollars. I heard it is now $8,000 could be even more. But the teachers hardly got paid.
Reading some of these comments make me feel much older than I am 😂 The hot lunch orders where Pizza Hut did tiny little pieces and the crusts were amazing! Funny Faces we’re 20c, the orange was the best. We also had frozen 300ml masters choc milk, spearmint milk and strawberry milk. The bottom was the best bit because all the flavouring accumulated there and it was chewy and delicious. Chips Chup ice creams. Crushing Maggi noodles in the packet and eating them uncooked. My mum would bribe us with those sherbet lollipops to go to church . Memories!
Chicken burgers, meat pies, ice blocks and frozen orange juice!
We had those frozen orange juice at my primary school tuckshop and they were extremely popular. All of my friends had them and make awful noice by turning them. They took so long to eat them and would take them to class after lunch and sometimes the teacher would either tell them to hurry up and finish it or tell them to throw them away.
Toms confectionery is the best.
I've spent way to much there. 😂
