When it comes to morning or lunch-time treats, today's children tend to ask for a Nutella or peanut butter piece, Kinder chocolate or Dairylea Lunchables, but back in the day when funds were tight mums and dads had to get creative.
To the current generation, the snacks of yesteryear may sound a little strange, but back then people made do with whatever they happened to have stocked in the kitchen cupboard and you had to like it or lump it.
In decades past, Glasgow weans knew all too well of the joys of a humble 'jeely' piece, a glass of milk and a plain digestive, but they also learned that pretty much anything can go between two bits of bread.

Things like banana on buttered toast, crisp sandwiches and even just a sugar piece were a staple for older generations.
The famous 'jeely piece' even made its way into song in the 1960s, when Glasgow songwriter Matt McGinn sang about the troubles of flinging jam sandwiches to weans from "twenty-storey" flats in The Jeely Piece Song.
On our Facebook page, we posted a photo showing banana slices on bread, and it brought the memories flooding for loads of Glasgow Live readers - some even said they still eat to this very day and with a few very creative modifications.
Over the years, many locals have enjoyed different variations of the sandwich, adding other toppings like sugar, sauces and peanut butter. It may seem a bit out there to some, but it's not too dissimilar to toppings you'd have on a crepe or a pancake.
Most people, however, were taken aback by the fact the banana in the picture was sliced, stating that only mashed banana would do.
Janette MacDonald said: "Still love mashed on buttered bread, on toast, on morning rolls or brioche buns, or unsliced on scotch pancakes with maple syrup and skooshie cream. Aye."
Rita Rayner wrote: "I often have this ,and enjoy it - sprinkle of demerara sugar gives it a little bit of crunch!"
Caroline Newell commented: "When the Breville toastie machines first came out, burn the mouth of you Love on toast with peanut butter or Nutella."
Caroline Conner recalled: "Mum give us that years ago and loved it."
Sandra Auld said: "Bread buttered then sugar sprinkled on top of the bananas - oh my word, healthy snack!"
Tom Ward wrote: "My maw used to make it into a sandwich dip it in batter and deep fry it then roll it in sugar totally unhealthy but delicious."
Sally Chambers said: "It was Saturday lunch but with butter and a sprinkle of sugar to give it a crunch. Nowadays it's brunch with crunchy peanut butter either on bread or brioche buns. Mmmmmm."
Of course, not everyone is a fan of the age-old pairing.
Jane Marsden said: "Yes with jam on. My kids didn’t believe me."
Does anyone remember eating pieces of butter and sugar. I liked this too.
Lilian Miller said: "I never liked bananas on anything."
Alana Thomson added: "Never understood this combo."
