The ones i really miss are:
Buying those 6 packs of Coco Pops, Fruit Loops, Frosties, Rice Bubbles, Nutri-Grain and Corn Flakes so you could have a different one each day and then opening the packets really carefully and removing the cereal so you'd have a mini wardrobe afterwards. You also most probably just let your parents eat the Corn Flakes.
Crossing your heart, hoping to die, sticking a needle in your eye.
SBS didn’t have any ads. Not that you ever watched it anyway, except maybe for soft core porn.
Zoopa Doopa ice blocks were only 20c and if you couldn’t afford it, you asked the canteen lady to cut it in half so you could split it with a friend.
Giving a friend a backage in the canteen line. If it was your best friend, you gave them a frontage.
Collecting Yowie toys. Aussie wildlife was way cooler than any stupid Kinder Surprise toy.
Begging your parents to go to McDonald’s for dinner.
The Kids' Works at Pizza Hut with unlimited drink refills. You made an ice cream mountain covered in choc chips and marshmallows and could never finish it.
No Hat, no play.
Cheating in Heads Down, Thumbs Up.
Healthy Harold day was the best because you got to miss class to sit in a tiny caravan and listen to a talking giraffe.
The Ferals. Rattus, Modigliana, Derryn and Mixy were cool until they started that five minute piece of crap, Feral TV.
Collecting hundreds of tickets from Timezone just so you could trade them for some crappy prize that you could have bought from Woolies for ten bucks.
There are more things that i miss that aren't on this list. Like everyone had 3315's when they were old enough to get a mobile and they wore them around their necks. I really miss life back then...I miss Greg from the wiggles!!!
I could comment on most of these instead I'll just say it's an awesome list.
