A Blast From The Past


I found this in a Heng Eng Boon (provision shop that all who lives in this district knows) near my mom's workplace.

If I remembered correctly, this used to be very popular with kids, when I was a kid. Along with the Doraemon chocolates, which comes in a blue box and also with small toys, it used to be 50cents.

The chocolates inside were round balls with a biscuit center. A big packet of chocolates and a small tinker toy.

Changes since that decade...

Tiny. Also, the toys used to be those kind you found in Kinder Surprise eggs, except of a lower quality. Still, toys.

Not that this isn't good, but having a puzzle kind of loses the old charm of this particular snack.

It's cute, I'll give you that, but a Winnie the Pooh puzzle just doesn't seem to cut it as "toys from the cassette ages". If you don't know what a cassette is, you're probably from the CD or MP3 ages.

I totally forgot this chocolate box where I used to eat them when I was young.

No wonder it look so familiar. I remember I like another chocolate too which is the chocolate burger. That one, aso very long never see liao.
