Daft crazes remembered.....

[Mosaic]

Chicken in a basket - what the blazes was that all about?
Does anywhere still serve 'inna basket' meals?

Walking round with a huge collection of key rings hanging from the jeans loop

Rip open your drainpipe jeans to the knee and let in a colourful triangle of cloth - et voila! Flairs made at home!

Digital watches chiming 'yellow rose of texas' every hour...

Frisbees

Lava lamps

In fact they've been, gone, come again, gone and come back again in my lifetime

I'd nearly forgotten the Women Empowering Women Hearts scam!

That was a daft craze!

I was following Trish round Tescos today and noticed two things, Vesta Chow Mien and a Christmas presentation box of three drinks one of which was a Snowball. I didn't know they still made them.

<<Tescos today and noticed .... Vesta Chow Mien >>

I'm going tomorrow.

Those crispy noodles and sachet of soy sauce - it'll be like a time portal

Have to cook it for a weekend lunch when no one is watching - a guilty pleasure - Mrs Zeuhl wouldn't understand.

Spud-u-like (or Spudoolikay as Victoria Wood pronounced it). That was something I never really took to, health food fan that I (sometimes) am.
It didn't help that they served leather baked potatoes with wimpy plastic cutlery that bend at the slightest contact with the potato skin.

Chicken in a basket is still served, isn't it? it just isn't called that.
Now we have xxx "goujons" - a word obviously used in the hope that its exotic sound will mask the fact that it is actually just a tasteless dollop of gunge.

Pet rocks, they loved them in America,

Back to innabasket, in the US they thought I was mad in restaurants when I asked that my burger be served on a plate and not in a plastic basket, on a napkin. They're just too big for me to bite, I need to use a knife and fork and I don't like chewing soggy napkin! Best burger ever, though I rarely eat them, was in Yellowstone, the Mammoth Hotel, so rare!!!!!!!
