Tapioca, treacle, tripe and sago all made the necessities list when the CPI was established. They were cut in 1949 when their popularity waned.
New additions to the CPI in recent years include hummus, flatbreads, frozen berries and chilled fruit juice.
Statistics New Zealand puts those changes down to a more convenience-based lifestyle and a more multicultural society.
It's also revealed that £1 worth of goods and services in 1914 would now cost $151.
