Oh I love these😍 my gran used to call Mikados "wooly backs" 😂😂 anyone else have a favourite Irish biscuit?
Purple snacks. I miss those so much.

7up and dry toast could cure any illness or ailment. Kerry girl here. Don’t live in Ireland now but I miss it so much.

I haven’t been home since Christmas and I’m missing my family so much. Bloody corona. No idea when it’s safe to fly either. Aer lingus aren’t flying atm from what I can see but Ryanair are from London. I wonder how that will work with social distancing though?

Remember when they tried to make tayto chocolate a thing. It wasn’t a thing. Cheap cooking chocolate, should of used Cadbury’s, blasphemy!
Flat or boiled 7up was the cure for everything!

One year, it was my uncles anniversary and we had the mass in our house so we had loads and loads of sweet that my mam locked in the Christmas press. We managed to break into it every evening and chipped away at the tins of roses and USA biscuits. We were cleaver we taped them all back up everytime. Until Christmas eve came and all my aunts and uncles were over and mam went to get the roses out and the tin was full of wrappers 🤣🤣 we had her heart broke 🤣🤣
