In the 1950s and '60s, my visits to the movies in Australia were always accompanied by a food induced noise. Without fail, about ten minutes after interval, there came a sound akin to about 20 marbles being dropped onto a wooden floor. Someone had dropped a box of what type of confectionery? |

What was distributed and reluctantly consumed each school day? |

As a child I grew up in country Queensland and large social picnics and barbecues were highlights - still fondly remembered.
