    Didn't have this in my country, but, apparently these were addictive.

    I'm in the US and have never seen those until just this moment. They don't look appetizing.

    If only they could get their time machine over to England, then I'd be a happy bunny.

    That's not retro, that's modern, en vogue; just look at Hawaii.

    When I was young, we used to collect golliwogs from jars of jam, and when you collected enough you could get neat little badges like this:

    This is probably not quite acceptable these days.

    Does anyone remember these?

    I remember loving them (though there would always be a cold spot near the middle) as an 8-year-old. I think I found some of these later as an adult, but I just didn't get the same thrill as when I was younger.

    Looks like an early Hot Pocket.

    ETA: I've never seen or heard of one until just now. ;-)

    Truly one of the most unappetizing junk food things I have seen in awhile. Never tried one either, but I don't think I could have choked one down.

    Kinda. It was filled with a combination of pizza sauce, cheese, and some small bits of meat. I guess you could say it evolved into a Hot Pocket.
