rubikfrog ( @rubikfrog@feddit.uk ) English7•1 year agoI was listening to “Sonic the Comic the Podcast” recently and they were reminiscing about Woolies and I was trying to remember what they sold. But all I could think of was ZX Spectrum tapes and pick & mix. I guess… drills…?
TeaHands ( @TeaHands@lemmy.world ) English8•1 year agoCD singles! A whole wall of them!
Loccy ( @Loccy@feddit.uk ) English4•1 year agoAh, now you’re reminding me of the Woolies quandary back in the day. Buy pick and mix or save up for a 1.99 Mastertronic Speccy game. Which were, with one or two exceptions, invariably utter shit. Should have gone for the sugar fix.
rubikfrog ( @rubikfrog@feddit.uk ) English2•1 year agoWell, Finders Keepers and Kickstart 2 were okay. But the rest, not so much.

Fog ( @Fog@lemmy.world ) English2•1 year agoThat brings back memories! Got my first ever Yo-yo from woollies! Used to be a weekend visit to that place for me. I think they still sell online don’t they? 🤔
ginge ( @ginge@feddit.uk ) English2•1 year agoThat thing looks like it would be more use hammering in nails!
Finnbot ( @Finnbot@lemmy.world ) English2•1 year agoI got banned for life from Woolies in 1996 for stealing a Kinder Bueno. I’d never been so mortified in all my life and I always had the absolute terror whenever my maw would take me in when we went in to town after that.
