Coconut cookie
Speedy
Fishly snack
Pepper snacks
Gold spot
Kiddy... all thse items still exist but not as sweet as before.

Some still exist , but that 'childhood taste' we have of them, I guess , it's what is missing right now.

ODUBEZE:

missed Okin biscuit d 4 corner. At a time it was scarce but when it was later reproduced, it was never d same.
Not to forget NASCO biscuit hahaha

I know of a bros whose area nickname is "NASCO calendar" grin

and I think this name was gotten from his love for nasco and also a certain calendar from them.

...have had a taste of everything on that list except Bazooka chewing gum. Maybe I can't really remember ever seeing it tho. However, I'd kill to have Goody goody , okin shortcake biscuits and Planta Margarine back. I ate so many packs of that Goody goody chocolate way back, all the cavities in my mouth now might have been as a result of goody goody o. grin

even up till date the biscuit is still very cheap, maybe that's wht has kept the biscuit in business for decades.

I remember all 17 with relish.

Of all the 17 the only one I never tasted was Telephone drink. But I did see other kids take it. It just never caught my fancy

DedeNkem:
Nigerians love junk foods. That's why they die anyhow and blame it on f*ucking juju due to the fact that huge majority of Nigerians are scientifically illiterate!

So it is only Nigeria that loves junk food.

Have you been to the US? They literally live on junk food

Goody Goody is the most precious to me. You don't see it everywhere, even then. We eat it on special days, especially when aunt came visiting from Lagos.

BALLOSKI:
Yeah, I said ‘probably’ because I’m not totally sure if they’ve all been discontinued or not, but everyone I asked said they haven’t seen them in far too long either.

Oh and by the way, if you’ve actually eaten all 17 things on this list, you’re OLD sha…

1. Coconut cookie
2. Speedy
3. Fishly snack
4. Pepper snacks

Re: 17 Foods From Your Nigerian Childhood You’ll Probably Never See Again by Nobody: 11:40am On Feb 20, 2016
