FOX Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 My childhood was a bit more recent and I think they still make all the shit I liked back then. Boo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teabags Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 What a dumb-ass question.If you remember something, it is committed to memory and therefore it becomes one of your memories.If you don't remember something then it is not committed to memory therefore it does not become one of your memories.What's your next question going to be? Can you taste tastes? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 I miss nothing from my childhood.Everything is better now.They didn't have Mango Rubicon back then, or white chocolate Malteasers.Not just food though. Everything. Everything is better.If I played a football video game, the players woule be called Sheerer, Inse, Geggs and McMunaman, and the computer would score free kicks by bending the ball around my wall at a 90 degree angle. Fuck you.Gameboys? They were shite. Two colours. A bunch of black pixels on a green background. I've got better games on my phone. I had better games on my phone 12 years ago.Could you buy DVDs from amazon for 0.01p when you were a kid? Could you fuck. DVD's weren't even invented yet. Nor was Amazon.Life now: Good. Life then: Bollocks. Fuck the past. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Get down to one of these hipster sweet shops that sell all the American stuff. No holds barred sweets. All kinds of mind altering chemicals and unthinkable amounts of sugar and colours. Jolly Ranchers will have you trippin' balls. Serious.

All kinds of mind altering chemicals and unthinkable amounts of sugar and colours. Jolly Ranchers will have you trippin' balls. Serious.Are those shops considered hipster? I thought hipsters were too cool for sweets. There's a couple here but they're super expensive, like, £6 for a box of Lucky Charms, £2 for a chocolate bar etc. Madness. Though I did find Cherry Pepsi a couple of weeks ago, which initially filled me with excitement, but it actually wasn't that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teabags Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Simple solution. Stop eating sweeties. You're a fucking grown man (though I use grown lightly). Problem solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem solved.Grown-ups can't eat sweeties? This sounds like the premise of a Disney film. You're going to end up going on adventures with a bunch of kids, which initially you'll hate but eventually they'll wear you down and you'll start to realise that hey, maybe you and them aren't all that different. Then they'll get into a fix, you'll rescue them, and by the end you'll have embraced your inner child and as the credits roll you'll be rolling around laughing and eating popping candy and Froot Loops.

They are all retro and not readily available in high street shops. Elite sweets for the folk who are too cool for a packet of Wine Gums.

Soda Jerk Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 I liked the ones that were shaped for dipping, even though regular Pringles are very dip-able anyway. They weren't from my childhood though. Pretty sure I was an unemployed school-leaver, buying dips and Pringle dippers from Home Bargains and watching Scrubs all day in my underwear. Best days of my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 I remember willy wonka bars. But I think you can still get them in "hipster" shops. Remember when a certain ear was the gay ear? You got your right ear pierced? Poof. No two ways about it, gayboy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
