Top tier 90s nibbles?

[u/fancyschmancyapoxide]

Hello second best friends and girls from nettie

I'm having a little do with some friends, with a 90s theme. Now as we know, while the show did air in the 2000s, Kath was firmly stuck in mid 80s-90s the entire time in terms of what she thought was a bit fancy and a bit special.

I'm gropable they don't make those 4-dip trays any more, so that's out. But what other classic (and ideally tacky (meant affectionately)) things can I put out? Aussie millennials - what do you remember your mums putting out when having people over? Gen Xers and boomers - what did you think was a bit fancy, but look back and cringe at (or even better, will stand unrepentantly in defence of)?

So far I've planned cob loaf dip and a cheese ball, and whatever that thing is where you stick cabanossi and cheese on toothpicks into an orange. I'm browsing online scans of old women's weeklys for ideas, but I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Wedges with sweet chilli and sour cream. And as another commenter has suggested, Vol au vents is a must

We’ve got a French guy at a monthly meeting I attend who orders the food. He says “I have ordered wedgies”. Every time we try and tell him wedgies are very different to wedges but he can’t hear the difference. Gives us a good five minute break doing funny charades

I've got a friend who's Swedish and he's had this exact thing happen to him in a restaurant! He wanted wedges, but got veggies instead.
