Cortina Shoes (Popularly known as BATA )
James Hardley Chase Novels
Bon bon sweets (They have a core made of chewing gums)
Sabella

Also, how many rembered when KITES were popular. Every quality nylon is a potential kite. The long tails and wings way up there when in flight is a beauty to behold. Yes, kids had toys then but we also created a few. Flying kites over bridges on the island was one of my favorite childhood memories.

Reference:

Yeah. With those encased comic strips. They were collectors items. Ginger ale. My best soda of all time. Mum was crazy for green sands. Lennard's shoes too. Great rivals to Bata.

No! (Fanta) Ginger Ale is not Soda. It has taste, in green bottle, it's not tasteless. There was this fanta in brown bottle, i think that's the one with soda.

You guys seem to forget in a hurry : Opanka sandals, koro sandals, Joka jelly footwear, Buggle boy jeans, Flying canvas , Pengo paracetamol, Ava soap ,Kesinsheen,Dailyneed, Vidalin M

I used to leave my curtina shoe outside , evertime I came back from school ,hoping my folks wld change it for me but alas !my dog c couldn't eat it , cause it was too tough, it got drenched by rain and always got tougher when exposed to sun and air ,so I did a the noble thing of leaving it in school and saying I lost it . It was waiting for me the next day with my class teacher (twilight zone ) .Spooky ain't it .
