Man Dreams Of Transporting Back To A Time When Nation Pretended This Was A Healthy Fruit Snack

A local man has once again found himself momentarily yearning for the past.

The logistics employee at a distribution warehouse in Betoota's Flight Path District says he did so during this morning's break, when a blast from the past popped into his brain for some reason.

Discussing matters relating to his kids with a couple of other parents in the break room, Grant Masters said the chat moved onto 'the goated snacks from back in the day.'

"And of course in a conversation like that, you simply cannot go past Roll Ups, or Fruit Roll Ups as they were clever branded by Uncle Tobys," explained Masters.

"God, those were the days," sighed the man whose metabolism has slowed down faster that a red-plater after spotting a highway patrol.

"When mum and dad, and the nation in general actually, just pretended that the highly condensed parcels of glucose and food dye were 'healthy fruit salad snacks.'"

"Feel like something that sticks to your teeth like rapidly hardening epoxy probably is probably not the healthiest snack..."

"But hey, no complaints from me."

"At least the cheese stringers were pretty healthy right?"

After a consensus of nods made its way around the break table, Masters sighed.

"Kids these days, they really are missing out aren't they."

More to come.
