Yep, little kiosk/counter kinda things. I have fond memories of my Nanna taking me to the one in the food court of David Jones and letting me pick a few out. Walking into the place you could find your way to the Cookie man with your eyes shut, it smelt so loving good!

An old dude in a uniform manually controlling it with a lever. No buttons. Imagine.

And you could see the lift shaft because the outside of the cage wasn't enclosed. The lift operator used to rattle off what was on each floor as you approached.

They're sold out at the moment but hold onto this link as they restock fairly regularly. Also sorry for your diet if you browse their store at all. They also tend to toss in a small pack of something extra too with your order, like some redvines or cola bottles, etc.

Thanks heaps! Love me some nostalgia calories. Speaking of sugary delights, I'm headed down to Sydney this weekend and I'm looking forward to bringing a few jars of this back with me. For some reason they only stock it in particular stores, none of which are close to me. It's probably for the best, I'd make myself sick eating it all the time otherwise.

British TV in the 70's and 80's was always doing the tits out thing. Benny Hill, even Monty python, hell didn't the sun newspaper or something have Page 3 girls so you got some nice tits while reading the paper?

Norks is british slang originally I thought, plus for the permanently politically brain-damaged it's a terribly offensive slur against North Koreans.

I always thought it was "Norgs". Even when I saw it spelled out. I just assumed it was a regional spelling or, they were doing that thing where you pluralize a word with a "z" to make it more exxxtreme! i.e. Spinnaz instead of spinners. I overthought the grammar and spelling of ways to refer to boobs way too much as a younger man.

I just searched up Aussie slang for the various bits and I swear most are British or American Twig and berries nah.. Jugs is America. We have no identity! How can we call ourselves Aussie with no words for genitals! Map of tassie isn't really relevant anymore either.
