I liked Monster Munch when I was a kid. Good to see they re-introduced it but I can't remember what the old one tasted like to compare it :(

Are Violet Crumbles still for sale anywhere in NZ?

 

 

 

 

Aren't they identical to Crunchies but in purple wrapping?

Slightly different inner - they have honeycomb flavouring, whereas Crunchies are more hokey-pokey.

Whatever that nicer bun was that The Boss burger originally came with. Then McD's took the burger away, then brought it back in the standard bun. Not that I go to McD's often, but I remember it was nice!

Pretty sure that's actually still used with some burgers... anything Angus Beef for a start. Er, does Maccas NZ have the Southwest BLT and suchlike?

Almond Mars bar came and went. Was later reintroduced as an Almond Snickers, but that has disappeared as well.

When McDonalds used to steam the McChicken bun instead of toasting it.

I was thrilled to find Big M in Australia - I haven't seen that here since the 80s! Zap was good too.
