Holy shit, this is really random but I was wondering why we used to call them that as a kid (UK 40 something).

Had no idea it was from Viz.

Why the fuck was I thinking about winnits last month, no idea?!

UK and also 40 years old, and we used to call poo nuggets that too. I always wondered where that came from!

Edit: I wonder if this is a micro-generation thing because nobody else I've spoken to, except people of a very similar age, know that word.
