When I was about 6 or 7, kids in our class used to crawl on their hands and knees all lunchtime on the ashphalt schoolyard with paper clips made into picks, looking for Fool's Gold - was that unique to my school?

Instead of validating the ticket in the machine when changing buses, showing the paper ticket to the driver (while really quick kids ran to the back, and handed it out the window to a mate in the queue to re-use).

Super Sippers

Paper showbags, and hoping that it didn't rain, so the Sunny Boy or Fruit Box bag didn't collapse

Dad buying petrol at Esso, Ampol or Golden Fleece
