Re: Two Matters



Those fizzy tablets were called, appropriately enough, Fizzies. I
remember them as being dropped into water, not milk. I can still
remember the ghastly flavour of the lime ones. I was about in Grade 5 at
the time (mid-'50's) and we quickly discovered you'd get a heck of a
rush if you put the tablet directly into your mouth. It's a wonder I
survived to adulthood.

And does anyone remember Bosco? Or Maypo?

Cheers,
Leslie
