Milkybar Gold Caramel White Chocolate Sharing Bar 85g - Caramel flavoured white chocolate (3 Bars)

Product Information

We sat down to Eamon to discover what makes milk bars special, and why they’ve gone the way of the Blue Heaven Big M (RIP). How did you find all these milk bars? Milkybar Gold is basically 85g of caramel-flavoured Milkybar white chocolate, and if that doesn't sound delicious to you we don't know what's wrong with you. Most corner milk bars in suburban areas have turned into cafes, or maybe residential developments. If they’re heritage listed, and a lot of them are, you’ll see they have to protect the façade and the old awning.

The new sharing bar from Nestlé was first introduced in Australia last year, and by the looks of things it's now available in Tesco stores in the UK! How exciting. At Milkybar we believe in the joy of simple stuff. Each piece is nothing but yummy smooth chocolate, always made with delicious ingredients like creamy-tasting whole milk and 100% certified sustainably sourced cocoa. Loved for generations, Milkybar never contains artificial flavours or preservatives. Because I’m a very nostalgic guy, I’ve got this real 80s obsession. So the milk bar was a big part of that, particularly in my childhood. I love the graphics and colours and those old fonts. I started taking a few around Geelong, took more photos on an old Sun600 Polaroid camera. Then I started coming up to Melbourne and doing it here. When they stopped making Polaroid film, I invested in a Nikon DSLR, and suddenly I could take thousands of photos. It just grew from there. What Is It About Nostalgia That Gets People So Passionate? For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned. Lots of ways. Sometimes I find buildings just driving around, or I get tip-offs from locals. Google Street View is a good resource. The milk bars that are really well known, they’re easy to find, because people have documented them before. Like Sydney had The Olympia milk bar, which is pretty famous for being a time capsule, one of those traditional 1950s-style milk bars. That closed down last year, and it was pretty much a museum. So things like those ones were easy. So You’ve Gone National With The Project?Yeah, the book’s got every state covered. Every capital city is in there. Canberra was the only place I couldn’t find a good milk bar—I had to use archival footage for that one.

Growing up in Geelong, my childhood milk bar was run by second or third generation Australians. They were Scottish or Irish I think. But in the capital cities, especially on Chapel St and the urban areas around Melbourne, milk bars were mostly run by Greeks, and to a lesser extent Italians. This was up till like the ‘60s or 70s. Then Vietnamese migrants in the 80s started to buy these businesses off the Greek families. I have some great memories in the book from owners all over the country. A lot of the time it’s kids who grew up working in their mum and dad’s milk bar in the 60s, 70s and 80s, so they have these great memories of the mixed lollies and serving customers after school. Sometimes translating for their parents too, because milk bars were often the first business for new migrant families.
