Jaffas

Who remembers the sweet, tangy taste of Jaffas? Rolling them down movie aisles was a Saturday afternoon ritual. But the real joy was that first bite: a burst of orange followed by a smooth chocolate surprise. Do you have any fond Jaffas memories? Share them here!
 
We did the normal…Jaffas down the cinema aisle! Cheeky kids we were. ( still a bit even in my 60’s)
 
Yep, the classic of course was rolling them down the aisle in the cinema. They still make them and I still love them but like everything else they seem to have gotten smaller than I remember!

Same here. I always used to wonder how many were swept up after the flicks finished at 5pm on a saturday arvo. Well before tv came along.

Back in the early 80's they almost got a group of about 10 thrown out of a cinema in Dunedin NZ. It was an old building with a wooden floor and Starlight glows (or Glowworms if you had just been to Waitomo caves) from the ceiling. We had 2 Canadians with us who had never had a jaffa and the decision was made to give them the full old school experience and rolled them down the floor at a very quiet time in the movie. Cinema Ushers not impressed. We all had a laugh later but received a scolding from our Coach tour Cook at Dinner that night along with dishes duty.

Yes, remember them well especially rolling them down the aisles at a Saturday matinee.
