Mmmmm – Menz Confectionery! The mere mention brings back happy memories of mouths filled with delicious treats from my childhood…
Treats such as Apricot Delight:
(ok, confession here, I never ate these “grub shaped white and yellow confection” but couldn’t resist the picture!).
Candy bananas:
(yes cos they look very natural… not!)
and my all time favourite – FruChocs (seen below in the new dark chocolate version):
In 2005, National Trust South Australia recognised these treats as being a BankSA Heritage Icon!!!
We visited the factory store today and I think we kept staffer Darren entertained the whole time we were there with our squeals of delight at the excitement that a factory candy store induces…
I think you could say that we were truly in a “FruChoc Frenzy”!!!
Actually it was the “giant” FruChocs that produced the most laughter:
They’re HUUUUUUUGE! (and yes Neil, there is a bag on its way home…).
Here I am with my loot bag:
Yummo!
mmm . . . gummy treats . . . yum!
