Smile #29 - Taste of Childhood Past

My mom had very strict rules regarding chocolate and sugar.  I was only allow a small treat every so often for good behavior.  On the other hand, my dad, who didn't know the rules, was a lot more laid back on sugar restriction.

One memory I had from childhood is when my dad picked me up after kindergarten and he forgot the keys to the apartment.  My mom was out running errands and won't home for a bit.  I grew hungry as we wait for mom to come unlock the door.  After my long groan, my dad bought me a giant box of Koala Bear snacks.  That certainly took my attention away from being bored to eating, eating, eating.  My mom arrived back in time to make sure I didn't ruin my appetite for dinner.  

Koala remains my favorite snacks of all time.  Cute koala shaped crispy cookies filled with chocolate creme, YUM!  Each koala has a different expression.

The local Asian store just imported a new shipment.  Boxes of koalas stacked up on the shelf.  I stood on my tippy toes and reached to the top shelf for a box of my own.  :)   

It tasted just like from back in the day!  :)
