Top 5 R-kioski matchboxes from the 1980s

R-kioski is a nationwide chain of kiosks that over time has evolved into more of a chain of convenience stores. This is the top 5 of it’s promotional matchboxes from the 1980s.

5. Patu
Discontinued salty liquorice sweet remembered fondly by people who used to like sending their tastebuds into catalytic shock. Strong graphics in this one.

4. VHS rental
Younger readers may not know this, but there was a time before Pirate Bay when instead of downloading films you actually had to get out of the house and rent a movie on a big chunky cassette. The tricky part was remembering to rewind it upon return, or they would slap on a “rewinding fee”. Good old times.

3. Cassettes
Instead of renting you  of course also had the option of “taping” whatever was on TV, like news or a Polish film set in a coal mine. There were also different, smaller cassettes for taping stuff that you heard on the radio.

2. Saxomaphone
This is a bit unclear. We’re pretty sure there were no musical instruments for sale at R-kioski? By the way, how surprising is it that they would choose to illustrate music with a saxophone in the 1980s? 

1. RRRRRRRRRRR
So why is she making that sound? Doesn’t matter. Number one matchbox of the 1980s!
