Which South African brand or product do you wish would make a return?

[Lupus]

The corporates don't care. No such thing as keeping loyal customers. Bokomo selling out to PepsiCo and than Pronutro being destroyed/abandoned/****ed around with and than destroyed anyway proves this.

If I win a big Lotto there will be signs. One of them will be Original recipe Pronutro returning in limited batches as we ramp up production slowly as new smaller machines are built just like the originals and are commissioned.

These greedy corporate ***** can't just say " not enough profit, too difficult to manufacture............we cull it. We feed them our genetically modified, profitable, addictive product.....*

Bokomo sold out years ago merging with sasko to become Pioneer Foods

KFC Hawaiian rounder.
Inside Story chocolates.
Nesquik cream-soda milkshake powder that came in a tin.
Complan meal in a glass from the 70s/80s.
Viennetta ice-cream desert from the 90s, I remember the ads were on TV and almost every retailer sold it at one stage.

It was the most disgusting drink ever in a can, before brannas and Coke. But hey, each to his/her own.

Toppers was for real Billies from Benoni and Boksburg

WTAF are "real Billies"?

It was the Tower Rounder. Miss them as well. Back then you actually got a full fillet. Not the miniature chicken tender you get today. Also miss the streetwise chow. For 10 bucks you got a mini loaf, filled with gravy and a nice big piece of strip stuffed inside. That filled the empty spot nicely.

The best cure for a hangover - before it kicks in!

There used to be a spot in Sunnyside way back when called Big Al's. Had the most amazing Frankie rolls.

Yay - I had shares in that place!

Those Caramello Bears were awesome sticky goodness, a real treat. Loved Perky Nana as well as those bags of little banana shaped sweets. I want the Whippy Bar back but not the one we have today, the old one had shredded coconut over the chocolate outer.

A chocolate called CHOC MATES

Seems to be a very popular request. Man, why can't they manufacture these today? Frankly I don't buy many chocolates nowadays because every time I look at the shelves everything looks so bland and full of crappy filler substances.

Well how many people could have an uncle in the furniture business??

I can't imagine it being the most lucrative business? Hearing that slogan on the radio I'll never forget though.

I also miss chocolate log. Now the only chocolate log you see is in the toilet bowl.

Another thing/number I'll never forget:

0860......31 32 33!

Maltabella. I've tried a few other malted sorgums and they don't taste the same at all.
