    I bought a box of chiko rolls on Friday. They go good in the air fryer. Better than expected

      I remember their ad in the fish n chip shop; with a leather bikini girl, on a harleyesque chopper, holding the chicko roll like a cock she was about to suck. Imma say 1987. Even then as a kid I remember thinking why would you advertise a product like that.

        Ah yes, the

        Chiko Chick

        She was replaced in 2008. From the Wikipedia page: “In 2008, the company began a nationwide search for the new “Chiko Chick”, hoping to downplay the traditionally raunchy look in favour of a more wholesome “girl next door” image.”

        She was replaced by Annette Melton who played Regina DeFrancisco in Deadly Women

      I’ve never actually had a chiko roll. Is that horribly un-Australian of me? I don’t think I’ve ever had one of those fish shop dim sims either, they always look a bit gross to me.

        Probably. I think they’re kinda dying off these days though. I’ve been in 6 fish and chips shops so far that said they didn’t do them anymore. Admittedly though, 2 of those were weird hipster ones bragging about everything being low sodium and didn’t even do potato cakes

          I fucking hate those places. Can’t do a decent fryup for shit and charge excessively for it

            Yep. Hipster cafes are usually okay, the best coffee I’ve ever had came out of a hipster cafe (though they did have pricing to match). Hipster fish and chippies though, hell nah. I don’t want low sodium chips with msg free chicken salt! I want the filthiest, most unhealthy, deepest fried chips with the most artery clogging chicken salt you’ll give me!
