Remember when nutritional value meant nothing and the tuck shop was essentially a dollar store for junk food?
The company behind Sunnyboys announced the icy treats have been cut from production and we are Adele levels of sad.
Okay so they largely tasted like ‘fruit drink’ dad left in the darkest crevasse of the freezer but that’s not the point.
They were our fruit-freezer-drink.
We’ve decided to torture ourselves further with a list of some of our other favourites. Rest in peace, not-so-great treats. Rest. In. Peace.
Sunny Boys
I want to say I truly loved you but I know deep down I didn’t. You are the high school boyfriend of the confectionery world.
Incredibites
I would trade a whole sandwich for somebody’s pack of Incredibites. Nineties schoolyards were rough, guys.
Strawberry Dunkaroos
You are correct, Lomz Speight V, Dunkaroos are still available but the strawberry flavour you so desperately long for? GONE.
Potato Smiles

Toobs, nothing better
Especially the chicken ones - haven't had them since I was in high school. Used to buy them from the milk bar while waiting for the bus home, back in the olden days when milk bars still existed!
I remember smashing my Sunny Boy against the school brick wall during recess to loosen up the icy chunks. RIP to the 1970s snack foods with grossly inappropriate packaging - Choo Choo bars with a Gollywog driving a train and Chickinix - a puffy chicken flavoured ball of styrofoam which had an 'Indian' on the packet and the byline 'best chicken flavour in your teepee'.
