Pinball machines, Rockola jukeboxes and icecream sodas at the local milkbar. And a bunch of pushbikes outside with no chain locks.

Good memories there Gary. You didn't grow up in East Bentleigh, Melbourne as that all sounds familiar.

We used to call them Dolly Vardens. They were so good. Thursday nights used to be card nights & we played with my grandmother, 2 uncles & one cousin. As we lived only 2 doors from the café we would go up there with a jug & get so many scoops of ice cream & a couple of bottles of soft drink & make our own.

I sure do! in fact I use to make them just about every day during the summer in the family milkbar at Nelson Bay NSW. But I do enjoy a ginger beer one also.

We introduced our children to Spiders years ago. There is a gorgeous shop in Burra in SA that sells these in any flavour you want. They even did a Diet Coke one for us. yumm.

Spida's .....loved them.....sold at Milk Bar Cafe's on the beachfront of Scarborough Beach in WA, also other cafe's around Perth and the country. And of course the stainless steel container they were mixed in were often handed to the customers with a straw and spoon, some were decanted into long glasses.....see this vintage one for sale on Ebay, similar to ones used when I was a kid;
I recon the shop that has re opened in Holbrook would sell them or if not should start to. My favourite flavour was blue heaven.

Bells Milk Bar in Broken Hill sell these - retro milk bar with laminated tables and chairs. Great spot. Our grandchildren have recently been introduced to these by their other grandmother. Yes, I prefer ginger beer ones. Yum.
I loved these- they were holiday treats!.
