Show bags​

Today's 'Yesterday's Australia' segment transports us to the Royal Easter Show in 1953, where two young boys were captured sitting under the sun, savouring the treasures nestled within their show bags. It looks like they got more than expected for a young visitor, including Hoadley’s Polly Waffles and Throaties. Their expressions mirror the timeless thrill of discovering treats that transcend generations. What are your memories of show bags? Share them with us here.

Back then, sample bags were referred to as Show Bags & they were FREE. Nowdays if you really want one, you'll likely pay way more than the contents.
