This one-pound tin proudly proclaims to be 'Artificially coloured & flavoured' at a time when custard desserts were fairly standard Australian fare. 'I like the look of the old tins, which you don't see much anymore', Brian said. 'The designs are so much better than the plain packaging you see today. You also don't get the variety anymore: custard just doesn't seem as popular as it once was.'
