Products they stopped that need to come back

Many years ago Marks & Spencer sold a cheese and apple sandwich. It was grated cheese mixed with some kind of mayonnaise and with chunks of apple. It was amazing. Then it stopped and it never returned.

Would I be unreasonable to email their head office to ask for them to reintroduce it?

PrincessHoneysuckle - you can still buy Caramac but DONT. It taste purely of sugar now. Cadbury CARAMILK is a reasonable facsimile of the original. Aldi introduced a similar bar for all of about 1 month haven't been able to get in since

Most shops do their own version of caramac now .. everyone slates cadbury caramilk though 🤷‍♀️

Toffee Cup bar. Thick chocolate with a soft smooth caramel inside. Was in a red and silver wrapping I think and was made by Mackintosh IIRC.

Golden cup, yes it was lovely! 😋

Another one…

They were made by/like Poppets but they were in all fruity cream flavours. I think you can only get mint and toffee poppets now.

I also remember when they ran that promotion for Revels and told everyone they were getting rid of the coffee one, replacing it with orange and strawberry for a while. Loved those!

CutiePatootee · 06/08/2025 12:35

The Salon Selectives hair care range… smeltl lovely.
also a shampoo called Dimensions, from mid to late 80s, loved that.
Cadburys Country Style chocolate in gingham wrapping.
Grapefruit Tango… loved this!

Didn’t quite get to the end of the thread but I do miss Toffos. Specifically mint ones. They were so good.

Ski Hazelnut yogurt! In fact, ALL the Ski yogurts!

I didn't realise Cherry Garcia had gone. Maybe it's just a UK thing. My favourite ice cream in the world is Ben and Jerry's Coffee Coffee Buzz Buzz Buzz which you used to be able to get here bit now only overseas. We always make a beeline for B&J when in the US

Exactly the same here! Loved Coffee Coffee BBB so much ❤️ Wonder why they stopped it in the UK.

Oh my word. Core memory unlocked! I loved these.

Peach Angel delight 80s or 90s iirc.It was lovely and noone else remembers it.

Yes!! We had it for dessert often! It was so creamy.

Enigma53 · 06/08/2025 10:13

A sweet from the 70s/80’s, called Tooty Fruities ( spelling could be off here)

They were fab. Hell for the teeth mind!

Fallulah · 06/08/2025 10:13

The Burger King mushroom double Swiss of the late 90s. Absolute heaven.

Cadbury’s Mint Wispas.

Body Shop pumpkin face mask that you wear in the shower. I stock piled it, and I’m down to my last pot!

JerkintheMerkin · 06/08/2025 10:10

Holland & Barrett Wonder oil and Walkers Beef & Onion crisps.

Lidl passion fruit jam.

Heinz cucumber sandwich spread.

I rarely have bread anymore. Maybe not having these anymore is why.

Quorn change their availability so often. Currently can't get frozen "bacon" or "steak strips" or lots of other stuff. You get a lovely little repertoire of recipes and then they stop making/selling stuff. Grr

Agree about the Quorn. They used to do a lovely taco mince.

Does anyone else remember M&S Mint Meringues? They were a green mint meringue, shaped like an éclair, covered in dark chocolate. It was a long time ago, because I used to call them Mint Merring-yews and I wondered why my mum always laughed.
They were absolutely gorgeous. I used to bite the end off and stick my tongue in and all the minty meringue used to melt.

M&S did a delicious milk chocolate bar with dried raspberries. The milk chocolate had a high cocoa content, it was verging on dark chocolate but not quite.

I remember that! It was good!

GellerYeller · 05/08/2025 13:12

M and S do an ice magic product, it’s in the aisle with the jams and dessert sauces!
i need them to reinstate the cappuccino Swiss roll though. The coffee one isn’t the same.

badhairmum · 05/08/2025 10:43

Years ago M&S did Baked potato and butter flavour crisps and I still dream of them bringing them back.

There was another dessert you whipped up with milk called Instant Whip. I haven't come across it in any shops but haven't looked that hard for it so may still be going.

My dad used to ask if Kunzel cakes were still around. I did try to find them but they also seem to have gone completely.

About 30+ years ago Sarah Kennedy (early mornings on BBC Radio 2) got Waitrose to bring Kunzel cakes back. Don't think they lasted very long though.
This was when the Waitrose at Newark was the furthest north branch and Morrisons Newark was the furthest south.

I loved Kunzle cakes. They didn't travel well on picnics though-the chocolate shell tended to melt.

I saw Joosters jelly beans in a shop called Mr. Price last week. I think the company is only in Ireland, though.
