When i was a kid, a trip to Pizza Hut was a big event because we lived a couple hours away, and there was always ads on TV for the new Pizza Hut toys. Loved collecting the Looney Tunes Mugs & doing the activity sheets whilst waiting to be served at the tables.

Also loved eating Zinger Burgers at KFC when they actually made them spicy.

Really miss bein a kid sometimes lol

Pretty sure the Pizza Hut in Bendigo is still open. There use to be one here in Mildura but it closed up quite a few years ago and has now been transformed into a Red Rooster.

+1 for the Pizza Hut restaurants. I miss going to the one in my area.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPobhSvXtDQ

A couple of years ago a TAFE teacher I had said to a student "You should go to one of those Pizza Hut restaurants" only to be told that they had closed down years ago.

1. As a kid I was over the moon when Forest Hill, Victoria finally got a Pizza Hut. It's a shame my kids haven't enjoyed the same experience..

2. There was a product called Dessert Whip sold in supermarkets ( in with the ice cream ) It was in a blue plastic tub. Sort of a sweet creamy stuff.

3. Large size soft drinks in glass bottles.

4. The original Monaco bar ( as already mentioned ). I bought one recently and agree, definitely not the same.

There's a lot of other things, but I'm a slow typist....

Like the Technical book shop in Melb. Man when I first walked in and went to the back right hand corner, so many cool car and bike books. They moved to I think A 'Becket St lasted a few years and gone.
