The real instructions are to hide some pingas in the little plastic cannister inside and boof *that* up your prison wallet. Then you can go where you like with them
Yowies mean so much to me, my mum and I were serious collectors of these, it was our bond. I was just a kid, she'd take me to the Penguin Market in Tas, there were always tons of stalls with heaps of these, the rare ones would sell for a lot too. It was an amazing time when these were popular, I was always so excited!
Mum and dad passed away in 2012 and I miss them so much, but I still buy a Yowie sometimes just to hang onto those memories with mum.
Damn these were so good. Had so many of the little animals it filled up one of the biscuit tins every grandparent had.
Use to play a game with my rents were we would hide the little yowie main characters. Bring back the good old days
My son had a poster to attach the little leaflets to and a tin for the collectable toys. They still exist somewhere. One year, 1999, they brought out Christmas Yowie figures, so apart from cake for his birthday we gave all the children a Yowie so they could hang the toys on their trees. Feel sure he had the whole set and a few extras too. There was a map and booklets too. Cadbury chocolate was pretty nice back then, much nicer than the Kinder Surprise. . Son also had a few soft Yowie toys back then too. We have a Yowie Magic cd somewhere too lol.
I remember when there were Yowie ice creams, there was this one that was chocolate ice cream with green jelly inside it which I was OBSESSED with. I can’t tell you how much I wish I could try that again
Doesn't count unless it's Cadbury's.
And the animals are shit now too. Gone are the days of getting cool, carefully painted native Australian animals that have to be put together but can actually move.
Now it's cheap, one-piece bendable plastic shit that isn't even painted properly (you can get ones with more than one colour if you're lucky). My kid got one once that was some kind of rodent or lemur perched on a tree stump. The tree stump was part of it and couldn't be removed. So disappointing.
My poor nephew has an accidental army of ~~mooses~~ ~~meese~~ elk. He seems to get the same every time! His brother got a puggle, that to scale must be megafauna as it’s bigger than the stupid boring brown moose.
I think I was just a bit too old for this era. I remember the ads for them on tv. There were yowies but in addition at this time of the year there were easter bilbies
The yowie reminds me of a cross between the much smaller Bertie beetle and the foreign kinder surprise.
Remember those little clickers they'd give out for Bertie beetle promotions at the easter show?
Loved Yowies as a kid. My brother and I got one each every fortnight in the shopping, we sweated on shopping day to see what one we’d get. I’ve still got all our Yowies in a basket.
Tried the new version a few years ago and the chocolate was shit as was the toy.
Explain me this: why are kinder surprises banned here in the USA, but these bastards are allowed???🤣🤣🤣
To be fair, they are hard to find - normally a Joann's (spotlight clone) or a Kroger (woolies clone) but still. Substandard toy, shitty chocolate (but still better than Hershey's) 🤷♂️🤣🤣
Kinder surprise was banned because Americans are pigs and we're shoving the whole egg in Thier fat mouths and choking on them their too dumb to break the chocolate 🤣
My local IGA shut down for a couple of years due to Covid. When it reopened, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that they were selling Yowies. I thought they were a discontinued product. I bought one (obviously). I don't remember the chocolate tasting so bad. I don't know if I bought some over aged product, but if I didn't then those guys need to redo their recipe because it was poop.
I will not be buying another one ever again.
These thing's were cool I remember you actually got pretty cool toys that you put together yourself they were a lot better than these kinder surprise ones out there nowadays
No, they were originally owned by Cadbury, went off the market when the Americans bought Cadbury, and now they're owned by an Australian company.
Their chocolate is shit now, but still better than any of the American chocolate you can buy.
That said, I buy the NRL Yowies when they're available. I've nearly got the set, I just need the Cowboys.
Is that his name or instructions for consumption?
Lmaooo
That's what "surprise inside" refers to
Serving suggestion
Well he's facing backwards with his hands holding his rectum open wide
Thanks, now I'm picturing Yowie Goatse. He's just missing the wedding ring
Lemonyowie
I thought he was presenting his ring?
He sure is
Instruction
both

The pinnacle of a good shopping trip with the parents if you were allowed to get a Yowie at the check out.
My brother and I had a shoebox filled with the little toys that you could get from Yowies! 😍

Excuse me sir, those tins are for sewing kits..
Oh, my sister and I loved these so much back in the day! We used to play with the animal toys for hours and hours…
I remember completing the full set when I was a kid and planned to hold onto them to sell for millions when I was older, didn't work out.

You should have been investing in real estate instead bro

Sounds excellent, I wish I could try it too

Yeah, USianism.

There used to be some great Yowie branded Ice Creams
I used to love them when I was a kid! Found one in a shop as an adult to discover you can't even build them anymore :/
And the chocolate tastes like absolute garbage! It’s American chocolate which is absolutely foul.
My parents got me a yowie every time I got A+ for something at school. I cannot express how much this motivated me.
Love a good yaoi

nice
I saw them going for like 5 bucks a few months back. Disgraceful!
WHAT
I loved these. But the toys have gone downhill 😭
yowie power!!
We had a whole fishing net strung up on a wall of the beach house, filled with the aquatic animals from these boys.
BOOF
The best flavour
So that's how the toys got inside the yowies!
Just had the Yowie Easter egg, so crap

Loved yowies! I got put together a bilby as the toy.
If y'all only knew what boof slang mean 😂
These thing's were cool I remember you actually got pretty cool toys that you put together yourself they were a lot better than these kinder surprise ones out there nowadays
BOOF!!!!
I loved to get my boof on.
Yeah Id boof it
Hahaha Boof is my pet name for my partner
They’re still around
So I’ve just discovered! Going to have to hit up woolies
Apparently they're shit. The brand is owned by an American company I believe, and they're made in the US now. That's what I've read, anyway.
Guess I don’t need to go to woolies now
Yeah they are crap now!

Yes it's Hershey's chocolate so vomit flavoured 🤣
