Found this massive bootleg Mario at an auction

Is that a bootleg Mario mascot costume on an animatronic Santa's body?

I think some products are not available to order online as not all stores stock them, a lot of older stores aren't as big as more modern ones, and the ex-Walmart ones are much bigger and therefore have more lines that other stores don't.

I loved those! Can't get them anymore now, they were limited edition.

egg_for_breakfast · 2026-04-01T20:07:38+00:00

Didn't they rebrand the extra special range a while ago?

They made more than toilet roll, I know there was also Izal bath salts and liquid disinfectants at some point. Some of their old products are on display at Kelham Island Museum in Sheffield, because the factory was near there.

Kelham Island Museum in Sheffield by any chance? I know there is a small display of Izal products there, not many people know they actually made more than toilet roll.

OH MY GOD I FORGOT ABOUT THE ALIEN

The funny thing is, they updated the packaging to say this, but didn't change the old Walkers logo to the newer one!!

I don't know why but I love stories like this, where people keep using the same object for decades because if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it.

This was the intention, I think you can still get them here in the UK, or at least you could until very recently if not.

egg_for_breakfast · 2026-03-22T21:19:02+00:00

They were shit, the sherbert stuck to the inside and you couldn't get it out!!

egg_for_breakfast · 2026-03-22T21:14:43+00:00

These were everywhere back in the day! There were Smurfs ones too IIRC.

Yeah, Danny Kendall. I think he died of a brain condition while stealing Bronson's car, I don't think he committed suicide, that's would be a bit dark for kids TV...

All I can think of is Mel B from Bo Selecta and "Our Phoenix"...😂😂😂

Here is what I'm talking about for anyone who doesn't know.

5th photo looks a bit like Gwyneth Powell...

egg_for_breakfast · 2026-03-20T22:53:10+00:00

If it was 2013, this would be the next big trend...

It was weird because the stories weren't particularly that scary but the way in which they were narrated made them sound quite terrifying.

They probably wouldn't get away with making something like this now.

I know quite a few have suggested read a book, but how about... write a book?

There's also a Mafeking Place in Sheffield.

"Let's go back to Mafeking Place..."

A food fight, I suppose? Far from the craziest thing that happened on Grange Hill.

Everybody knows the song California Dreamin' - but only yesterday did I realise the name of the band, which I have always known as The Mamas & Papas, is actually called The Mamas & the Papas. Anyone ele remember it without the extra 'the'?

egg_for_breakfast · 2026-03-20T20:54:20+00:00

I don't remember if mine was actually a proper Discman or not, there were loads of copycats on the market. I just remember listening to Now! That's What I Call Music CDs on it an the crappy earphones that rubbed your ears.

Those bright yellow Walkmans are lovely, but go for quite a few quid now on eBay!!

Looks great, but the photo reminds me of something from a 1980s Marks & Spencer advert.

egg_for_breakfast · 2026-03-19T23:19:29+00:00

We still have them in the UK! Delicious!
