To ask what one extinct thing you would bring back from your childhood?

By “thing” - I don’t mean people. I’m sure there are people from our childhoods that we would all want to bring back more than any “thing” in the world.

The thing that I would bring back would be tinned Spaghetti Hoops with Hotdogs in Smokey-Bacon Sauce by Heinz.

Best thing ever in the 90s IMHO!

Puffs crisps and the pig shaped ones that tasted of Smokey bacon.

Palitoy Treehouse. My best ever Xmas present.

Pacers. They were a minty version of opal fruits. They had a pale green and white stripe through them if my memory serves me correct!

I always think of Pacers if I ever see Celtic play footie on TV. They were a good sweet!

Spira - the best!

I'd totally forgotten about the smokey bacon sauce hoops and sausages! They were lovely.

I'd like the ritz crackers with the cheese in the middle back.

Cabana chocolate bar and the Pipkins.

Real UK made chocolate, not the current oily America slop we have nowadays

Good manners

Full sugar ribena. Old salt
and vinegar Discos, that were so sharp and salty and the taste just is not the same now.
‘Secret’ chocolate bar that Cadburys did.

Woolies pick and mix. Woolies everything 😩

Decent Wagon Wheels! They used to be so delicious.

Common sense.
