Op, you didn't include Temitope (pako) biscuit, Trebor, butter mint, Nico sweets, walls ice cream, parmalat, gogo sweet, I have always been a junk food person. I will soak the Okin 4 corner in milk for my dinner and am Okay. I love the chewing gum with questions on the wrapper. There used to be Nasco biscuits too. Then the wafers come in flavours of chocolate, strawberry, nd banana. I still remember the advert. A child was nibbling at the wafer under the table, the lady teacher caught him and seized it, only for her too to go eat it and the pupils too caught her. I remember tree top drink, we used to mix it with water. The Dr pepper, Afrikola, Tandi, Crush, Limca, Parle Soda, Schweppes, I drank it all. I've always been a sweet mouth, still am. My mum indulged me, my husband has taken over now.

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

3. Fishly snack
4. Pepper snacks

So it is only Nigeria that loves junk food.

Have you been to the US? They literally live on junk food
Did I say Nigeria was the only country that like junk food?? What the f*uck is wrong with you?

Yes, U.S. like it too but the big defference is they've healthcare system that, at least, tries to keep them alive, whereas in Nigeria, it is non-existent. Imagine how many people die every year due to lack of it.

And people don't die in the US inspite of the healthcare.

You know people like probably only heard that there is a healthcare system in the US. But they never bothered to ask that how many Americans can access it. Go and ask why they are all fighting the Obamacare

And besides its not true that we don't have a healthcare system. We do have a healthcare system although not perfect but its accessible to everyone. You go to the US and get seriously sick and see if you can access the healthcare system easily?
