The Search for Retro Foods
The
"Retro Food" actually refers to the childhood snacks.
Well, the story actually goes like this:
Yesterday, saw that my colleague ha those colour coated chocolate candies in those figure 8 aluminium wrappers, and was surpised that these are still available.
Another colleague was also surprised and she even played with them-- put the "8" packaging over her eyes,as if she's wearing mask.
yah, many of us used to do that when we were young, and the 8-shaped packaging filled perfectly across our SMALLER faces then.
and it led to a discussion:
"I still can find KaKa (the corn snacks in a red packaging, with a cartoon of a rooster on it)"
"Got Chickadee?"
"What's That?"
" A green package lah"
"By the way, now Kaka still selling at $0.20 a pack, but no more free toy"
"Huh..... (Disappointed)"
" Still selling the xiao ding dang snack"
" Nvm lah, ciao ding dang not nice to eat"
"I want Bee Bee, that shop still got sell?"
" dun think so leh, but now not at 10 cents a pack liao".
hmm, if u have no idea what we are refering, well, chances are either u are from a different generation or you were deprived of snacks as a child.
Anyone have clues where to get Chickadee and Bee Bee in Singapore?
