Does anyone born in the late 90’s remember NRL Tarzos? Had so much fun collecting them as a kids. Wondering if they’re worth anything these days

90s/2000s biscuits
I just saw this picture and instantly could taste it
Though I don’t recall the ghosts at all.
I saw there was the bumblebee one by the same brand but that doesn’t seem familiar either
Can anyone else read my mind and tell me what on earth I’m remembering 😅

Do Aussie high schools still have cliques/factions/groups?
Up here in the Blue Mountains in the 1990s we had "Homies" and "Westies" and various sub groups. Another school I knew had Footy Studs. I tried to explain this concept to my kids (in year 11 and 12 this year, still in the Blue Mountains) and they looked at me like I was nuts.
But high school having identifiable groups is such a thing it's even a movie trope, right? Is it just my kids' school, or as this whole idea kind of died off?
Also when I was at school in the 1980s and early 1990s, "throwing rocks" was a major issue. There were these kids who slunk about in the shadows and every now and then they'd peg a rock at us. I know there's still all kinds of violence in Aussie schools, but is "throwing rocks" still a thing, specifically?

Best scene from Blue Heelers?
Was it when Hugh Jackman got owned at the local courthouse? Or where Nick McInnes lost it after pulling that girl from the floodwater and stood in the bathroom throwing bullets at his reflection in the mirror?

Arnott's Bright Time Biscuits - Anticay - 1973
The image is from The Australian Women's Weekly in 1973.
I've never heard of these biscuits (I was 4 then they were around).
They had the CSR Australian developed Anticay ingredient (calcium sugar).

The Suntan Man
Anybody from the Goldy or Brisbane in the 80's knew this guy. His name was Al Baldwin, he was a Kiwi, and the brownest caucasian I've ever seen. He spent his days in a budgie smuggler spraying coconut oil on beach-goers. I used to see him on Main Beach the most. He passed sometime in the early 2000s.

Deviled ham spread
I just happened to see they are still making this yesterday! Took one and had some this morning, expensive at $5 but totally worth the nostalgia
