We received this email in our inbox and thought we'd share it on the blog. Someone had compiled a whole bunch of photos of different snacks and toys we used to play with back in the day before the advent of the Wii and Guitar Hero. Peep this...

Thunder, thunder, thunder cattzzzzz hooooooo!!!!! Tattoo gum. Erasers (wtf? we used to collect them?, cap guns and choki choki!! The ultimate of course is that 'Western Bar' game! It was almost as addictive as Tetris!

  Safety campaigns at every highway R&R
  Free coffee at petrol stations along the highway and rest areas
