Nostalgic millennials say they feel 'old' after seeing former child star Nikki Webster, 34, surface in a new Boost Juice campaign
Aussie millennials are enjoying a blast from the past this week thanks to Boost Juice's new 'Strawb's Kisses' campaign featuring former child star Nikki Webster.
Nikki, now 34, became an overnight sensation at the age of 13 after performing at the opening ceremony of the Sydney Olympic Games in 2000.
And while the Strawberry Kisses hitmaker is now a mother and dance studio owner, some fans clearly still think of her as a pre-teen pop star.

In one campaign photo, a beaming Nikki poses on an outdoor swing with a Boost Juice take-away cup in her hand.
'Thanks for making me feel old, Boost Juice,' one Facebook user commented, while another added: 'Wow, so grown up...'
A third wrote: 'Nooo is that Nikki? Thanks for the reminder that we've all grown old. Can we get some free Boosts to remember the glory days of whacking on the So Fresh Hits of Summer 2022 and banging out Strawberry Kisses?'

Since her performance at the Olympics, Nikki has opened three dance schools, released eight albums and co-authored a children's book called Dare to Dream.
Nikki also recently expressed interest in performing at the Brisbane Games in 2032.
'I'd love to perform in Brisbane. Who wouldn't?' the mother of two told Woman's Day magazine in August.

Return to the spotlight? Nikki (here in 2005) recently expressed interest in performing at the Brisbane Games in 2032, telling Woman's Day in August: 'I'd love to perform... Who wouldn't?'
However, Nikki admitted she would make some changes to her now-iconic Sydney appearance all those years ago.
'I definitely won't be wearing the pink dress,' said Nikki, in a nod to the famous floral-print garment she wore in 2000.
Nikki, who will be 45 when the Brisbane opening ceremony takes place, also said she'd be interested in getting her children involved in any potential performance.
Referring to her seven-year-old daughter, Skylah, Webster said she'd 'absolutely' let her take part in the ceremony, if asked.
Not much is known about Skylar's musical prowess, but she looks like a carbon copy of her mother and has been photographed in the same pink Hawaiian dress Nikki wore while performing Under the Southern Skies.
