Topic: Toobs are back!!!

So I was in blockbuster video at mooloolaba yesterday and I couldn't believe my eyes....TOOBS!!!

Best snack ever...and they're back!!! On the stand it said "back by popular demand". I just did a google and there's been petitions and stuff - and they actually worked!

Up until now I had to buy uber expensive toob-type snack from the Nutshack at indro, but not anymore :D

Beware, once u start u can't stop, and they sorta burn the roof of your mouth off

Update: Apparently they are less burny now and only available in small packets so far...

P.S. Highly recommend the "bbq tubes" at nutshack at indro, but they're $3.50 a bag :(

Yeah nothing says primary school like burger men. I saw a woman with a burger man backpack in the city a couple of weeks ago. But that was just sad.

The tubes sell out at my local store quite quickly. Seems everyone remembes them and loved them.

Seconded... or thirded.. or whatever. Is there anything that sets these apart from Cheezels or are they just cheap Cheezel wannabes?

Though when it comes to cheesey snacks, it has to be Cheetos ftw.

Bergermen were the shiznits. They were 50c a pack back in my primary school days. I only loved the burger flavoured ones in the red pack though, those chickeny ones in the green bag sucked the big one.

Toobs differ from Cheezels in that they have a different flavour. They have seasonings like tomato, paprika and s*** on them.

The Burger Man you can get now at Crazy Clarks and the Bacon ones by Real Mccoy are not the same product you would have bought as a kid. The ones back then were made by Freers, and tasted much more saucy and airy. Freers went out of business a while ago and the chips are now made by other companies and they're hard and flavourless.

Burgerman was bought by Real Mccoy so they won't be the same now either.

Mav, keep us updated on the bacon crisp hunt mate!

Yeah, I had some burgermen recently, and they're s*** compared the ones that used to be around when I was a kid. They've got hardly any flavour and they're and dry and crappy tasting.

Another thing I used to notice about Bacon Crisps is you seemed to get heaps in a packet.
