Not much into sweet stuff - biltong would be no.1 on my list, but once in a while I will buy myself a peanut brittle (the snack of peanut set in hardened caramel). Just did that - ran across the street to Clicks and bought myself one.
So this little run and this little sweet is now costing me way more than I ever would have thought possible. Reading lekker here what everyone else had posted and was posting away like mad - take a big bite of brittle - chew and...
crack, EINA, what is so hard in my mouth now? .... just like that one of my caps (kroon tand) had come loose and here I am sitting with it in my hand. So.... it's Wednesday afternoon, all the doctors and dentists are out of office, apparrently playing golf, so where does it leave me? Right here where I am..... with the cap in my hand, half eaten peanut brittle on the table, still posting away. Gonna finish the brittle - just chew it with the teeth in the other cheeck.
Favourite snack, if you can find the right one, is that droe wors, that is oily, the one where when you bite into it, it cracks open, the oil flowing ... the taste awesome...from a sweet perspective,,,,, Bounty Bars...during the 80's it was Tempo......
Shame Dalene
I know that feeling LOL
Keep that " Krone" the doc will glue in again, no joke
did any of you read or see that article in the news last year about some lab that had managed to regrow human teeth?
Definately Wine Gums! But only the type made by Maynards. Sorry Mike, have'nt heard of the regrowing teeth story. Sounds to me like another Dolly the Sheep scenario.
I remember the story Mike; there was also a picture of a poo mouse with a tooth growing off it's back. Disgusting the things we humans do to animals!
@ Georgswa - I know they put it back in. Same thing happened with another cappet tooth in 2006 whilst in Henties. Was chewing on a wilson toffee. Cap came out and was still stuck in the toffee. Off to Swakop to the dentist. Just cleaned out the tooth, cleaned the cap, put the glue on and reset it back. The whole joke cost me N$725-00!
That droewors, Mike - now you're speaking my language!
Self repair .. our receptionist ... divorced .. struggling financialy .. cap came loose .. no money to go to the dentist right now .. . what does she do ?? superglue .. glued it back in place . a eensy bit skew . but holding now for 3 days .. hopes it will hold till she gets over cash crisis ..... only prob she said was the taste of superglue in the mouth for a few hours .. ........
This Topic may be of interest too. Simualar topic...
It's called "lekkers".

Carl I'll have to fight you for those wine gums and yes only Maynards.
Now onto superglue.....my podatrist told me that if you have a very eina cracked heel...superglue it.Apparently this glue has been used in emergancies to hold war wounds untill they could get trearment.
Bill tong- yum yum
I miss Tempo bar and Inside Storie.
Simba chips.
- as far as teeth are concerned - if people ruin them then why do animals have to suffer for our benifit.
Bloody rats have a hard enough time crawling around in things that we wouldn't even walk in - without people growing foreign objects out of them.
Does anyone remember those peanuts with the crispy red coating?
Yep. Reminded me of dry jelly powder. Wonder if you still get them today?
Something that I do NOT eat at all - turkish delight. Yuk... and also anything with coconut in it. Can't stand the taste of them both. Turkish delight also looks like jelly that has been made too strong and left in the fridge to dry out. Oh yes, and I also don't eat icing sugar. Ga-ga stuff - just too sweet.
Proper turkish delight .. home made .. not the shop variety .. from heaven .. at the Biscuit Mill market insalt river there was the one day a woman selling turkish delight .. John engaged her in conversation in arabic and yes she was turkish and made the pukka turkish delight .. I was bought a container to devour on my own ,,
or what about those bags of fudge that could be got at either the mule derby or the Christmas tree - pure bags of sugar; never tasted fudge quite like it since............or remember those tiny little pink sweets; not soft nor hard nor chewy - more chalky kinda things, could eat a load of them and were garaunteed to make you as sick as a small hospital..........my pet hate - Dolly Mixture - now what is the meaning of those???
HHMMMM Flake by Cadbury. Get it in British shops here. The imported stuff is so expensive.
Niknaks and big corn bites will do it for me ... yummy
Niknaks! Wow. The only thing I ever tried that was better, was the American version. Name was different. Even cheesyer.
Do you still get ninaks in SA?
Yes they do. I know coz when my SA friends go home, they always bring me some back. That and chocolat logs.
You get chocolate logs in the British shops here, but far to expensive.
feedme
Too many to be able to give a favourite.
I do however wonder why the factories stop making sweets/chips after a while, for eg:
Ripple Chox, Peptalk, Kreoles (you either loved them or hated them!) and Hula Hoops, and these are only a few!
Do they still make Chocolate Buttons in the UK? For some reason I've always remembered them.
oh yes - chocolate buttons still here and Hula Hoops, in 4 flavours.
I miss Nick nacks - and the Cream Cloud Ice Cream that we used to get from the spar around the corner from Rhenish.
Remember the fight over the Cholcolate Mouse in Bording School and the heel of the bread......
Hi Claire - I'd forgotten about the Cream Cloud ice-creams - you could also buy the plain caramel in a frozen bar!
Chocolate mousse/instant pudding - they always used to make two flavours and put them in one bowl - one of the better memories from hostel days! I still can't stand the jam with the ginger pieces in or fish spread! Sunday evenings also used to be lekker when they made boiled eggs with toast and melkkos (semolina?).
Cheetos in the US Jr (NikNaks). Me - Springer Brandy Beans - not a chocolate fan but those; happily stash them away and didn't share! Can't get the real ones anymore - just some pseudo wannabes from afactory in Windhoek.
So you know them too Cherry? Have you been to America, or do / did you get them in SA?
Was in the states in March and tried them; still prefer niknaks.
I thought Springer was Namibian? Exported around the world?
idontknow
It is (was) a Namibian company but the family sold out to some bunch in Windhoek. You can still buy brandy beans in Windhoek but the chocolate quality is not as good as the real Springers although the middle brandy/sugar combo is ok. A friend of mine goes to Namibia every now and then and brings them back. Disapppointing though.
Woolworths in ZA also stocks their chocolates, look on the back...it will not say made by springer.... it will just say...Product of Namibia....
Tx but don't need any more podgy bits by scoffing chocs!
Agh! what are you moaning about,,,, surely at your age ...you must consider yourself over the hill already.... laughpoint
