Speaking of things being marketed at kids, anyone remember these things

I used to sit in the back of the car when we went for a Sunday afternoon drive and pretend to be smoking - and loved eating them too!

Yeah still can't find a candy that has that taste, would be nice to get a juice in that flavour, they made them in chocolate where you would peel it and eat it, those were gross

Can anyone remember how much we used to pay per hour?
Anybody else remember the traffic warden (boetebessies) ladies of the time, sucked a lemon before coming on duty so as to not be able to smile, bollatjie that peeked out from under the hat, boekie in hand waiting for the little flag to come up so that they could write a fine.

Hells bells, you didn’t even want to step of the pavement, never mind jaywalking. The appeared out of nowhere boekie at the ready, and they were the stuff nightmares were made off, really scary for kids!

Good description @Room Fogger! I wonder if they worked on a commission basis? :-D
 
Wow! We city folk know nothing about things like this. Sad, isn't it?

Well, yes and no. There are a lot of city things that we farmies don't know about (or didn't know until we came out from under the rocks....lol)

Like fondue. I've never had fondue in my life. We never knew what it was until I started working in the bigger places and still haven't had it. It's on my list though....lol

Marie-biscuit faces. My Mom used to make them for my birthday parties. Cheap and simple - icing, smarties and jelly babies. Is this still done today or have parties become more high-tech?

Unfortunately not, I remember making these in primary school for kids in the classes bdays, these days it's all about status, so fancy cupcakes from boutique cup cakeries are ordered for bday parties
