    iPhones

    Don't see nearly as many of them around as a year or two ago. I'm sure more people own them its just not lyke "zOMG! I must show everyone this brilliant phone and how great it is and constantly be rubbing it's screen every idle moment I have repeatedly entering the competition to be allowed drink 1 litre of Steve Jobs's own piss!"

    Strange, i'm seeing alot more of them recently.

    Whoever mentioned Coca Cola reminded me of the competions they used have where if you collected 25 plastic labels and sent them away, you'd get a watch, personal stereo, alarm clock etc. I know a girl who used to rummage through bins to collect these. Must remend her of that sometime!

    I remember all the kids in my class that thought they were hard men used to have a 'tail' haircut like this (but without the beard). It was a little like a mullet but not as stylish.

    Or the reflectors you used to collect for the wheels on your bike!

    If you got a number 7 printed on your lollypop label you got a free lolly-can't remember the names of the lollies now though, think it was the same with cool pops!

    Or do you remember Push Pops 'Push a push pop, push it for flavour......'
