Road to PSLE gets nostalgic and blogs about stuff from her childhood that survived to be enjoyed by her kids today:
This is what I found at home -
1) Colourful paper ball – you spend as much time blowing air into these things as you do hitting them about.
2) Biscuits with white/green/pink/yellow icing – I used to like to bite the icing off before popping the rest of the biscuit into my mouth.
3) Rabbit milk sweets – the only candy I know of with edible wrapper.
4) Square shaped candy with nut picture on the wrapper – I was never crazy about these but we didn’t have a very wide variety of candy back then.
These are today exactly as they were when I was a child.

the biscuits(1) are my favourite. almost everyone remembers ‘someone else’ eating the sugar and throwing the biscuit back into the tin. i have a friend in the army who always brings them to camp, so we’ve taken to calling them by his name, because they don’t seem to have a generic name of their own!
