Another popular Aussie snack is returning to shelves.

After a six-year hiatus, In A Biskit is back, with Chicken In A Biskit and Drumstix In A Biskit flavours returning to supermarkets this month.

Marketing manager of savoury biscuits and meals at Mondelez Lucy Fisher said:

“We’ve listened to the thousands of Aussies asking us to bring In A Biskit back.

“We couldn’t ignore their passion for one of Australia’s most iconic snacks, so we’re proud to announce its return.”

The special edition In A Biskit range will be available from August 11.

Chicken In a Biskit is returning to shelves.

Tasty Toobs have also returned to supermarket shelves and customers can’t get enough.

Smiths has confirmed the popular tangy, tomato-flavoured chips are now available at stores across the country.

The snacks have been so popular, one store sold 700 packets in one day.

It follows a successful campaign from Toobs fans, with more than 26,000 people liking a “Bring Back Toobs” Facebook page.

Vandita Pandey, chief marketing officer at PepsiCo ANZ said: “We were overwhelmed by the level of support from loyal fans and to finally see them in our retailers and consumers enjoying them again is awesome. We are always led by our consumers so we want them to help us keep Tasty Toobs as a permanent product.”

With the triumphant return of Toobs and Cadbury’s Marble chocolate blocks, we take a look back at some of the old sweets fans would love to see back on the shelves.

SUNNY BOYS

The perfect treat on a hot summer’s day.

Many have fond memories of enjoying the delicious frozen icy treats during summer. Often sold in school canteens, alongside Zooper Doopers, the pyramid blocks, available in orange, raspberry and cola, were a huge hit. There was even a Sunny Boy show bag at the Royal Melbourne Show. But they sadly left our shelves in 2016, with The Daily Juice Co. confirming it had ceased production of the treats due to a “sustained reduction in consumer demand” over time.

SPACE FOOD STICKS

Space Food Sticks were a huge hit.

Many have fond memories of the bars, originally developed for astronauts.

These “scrumptious” snack bars, that came in chocolate, caramel and peanut flavours, were so popular dedicated fans began a Facebook page calling for the owners to bring them back.

Known as Nestle Starz Space Food Sticks, they were sold in Australia until 2014.

IN A BISKIT RANGE

The In a Biskit range has disappeared from shelves.

Kraft's Chicken In A Biskit.

Disappointed families bemoaned the disappearance of the Ritz brand Chicken and Dixie Drumstix snacks back in 2015, due to changing consumer preferences. But the popular treats might be making a comeback, with media personality Jimmy Rees spotted getting behind the #InABiskitComeBack cause on Instagram.

POLLYWAFFLE

The famous Pollywaffle bar.

More than 55,000 people have joined a Bring back the Pollywaffle Facebook page, with great success – the popular chocolate coated bar, filled with marshmallows and wafers, is expected to hit the shelves again next year.

WHIP BARS

A Cadbury Whip chocolate bar.

Whip fans launched a campaign in 2016 to get the “unique and highly desired chocolate bar”, filled with caramel and nougat, back on shelves.

But sadly for fans of “the best chocolate bar ever” tasting this delightful treat again appears unlikely.

TARAX SOFT DRINKS

Tarax soft drinks

Many have fond memories of enjoying a Tarax soft drink, which were delivered in crates right to people’s front door at home. According to Museums Victoria, Tarax soft drinks were originally made by the Taraxale Brewing Company, an independent Melbourne soft drink bottler, before the company was purchased in 1972 by Cadbury Schweppes.

GHOST DROPS

Ghost drops.

These sweet little treats, that turned tongues blue and black, were another school canteen favourite.

MILO BARS

Nestle Milo Bars.

Almost 5000 people are calling on Nestle to bring back the original Milo bars, claiming the new bars are just not the same.

SPEARMINT LEAVES, GREEN FROGS

Caitlyn, Asha and Jess were sad to say goodbye to spearmint leaves.

Lolly fans were devastated when Allen’s axed the sweets back in 2015, but the company said the treats simply weren’t selling.
