You still get the drinks you’re talking about I think! I used to love chewing the bottle afterwards Confused

I miss the original crinkle cheddars, they only do flavoured ones now.

And these chewy strips in paper we used to get from pound stretcher.

Irn bru bars, why won’t they make them anymore?! I would pay good money for a box of them.

Drogosnextwife · 27/05/2019 21:38

Creamola foam
A strawberry frozen mouse thing my mum used to buy, I can't find it anywhere and she apparently has no idea what I'm talking about.
Echo biscuits

Irn bru bars

AlecOrAlonzo · 27/05/2019 21:39

Percy Pig Rosy Noses. So delicious.

IncognitaIgnorama · 27/05/2019 21:40

You can get the frozen mousse things in raspberry ripple at Asda

100percentplease · 27/05/2019 21:41

Had forgotten all about Irn Bru bars

Livpool · 27/05/2019 21:41

Secret and Spira bars

😋

ABoozedMoose · 27/05/2019 21:42

Nutty bars

Lemon vienetta

Blobs

Sainsbury's did a ready meal prawn laksa

M&S squealingly fizzy percies and also a cheesecake they did with sour cream on top

Fresca ( think it was called that - diet grapefruit fizzy drink)

Realeat (I think) nut & seed burger mixes (sachet of dry seeds and flavouring that you added to egg to mix)

dontticklethetoad · 27/05/2019 21:43

Garlic, rosemary and sea salt kettle chips.

Philleus Fogg Mignon Morceuax. I would sell my husband and 2/3 of my children for a bag of those.

Gluetap · 27/05/2019 21:44

Sainsbury’s cheese buttons. Little round cheesy crisps. They were so good.

ehohtinkywinky · 27/05/2019 21:46

@CatstorTroy I had one last year in Canada!

teejayem · 27/05/2019 21:46

Vesta chicken supreme. Yes the chicken wasn't chicken but the sauce was DELICIOUS.
Ditto Vesta chicken curry
Comfort Creme fabric softener in cocoa butter scent
Air wick air freshener in 'mum's baking'
Asda extra special cheese ciabatta. The replacement equivalent is just not the same.
M&S chicken and bacon spiralli bake
M&S ham turkey mayo + lettuce sandwich (we're going back to late 80s here!)

Not quite discontinued but there is a Christmas tea blend that m&s do just for the festive period from mid Oct to Dec which is SO nice, I have to stockpile it so I can have it for just a bit longer, plus there is always the nervous wait in Oct to see if they have decided to change the recipe or worse still discontinued it.

cherrryontop · 27/05/2019 21:50

Cadbury spira

Drogosnextwife · 27/05/2019 21:51

There are videos on YouTube for Sara Lee chocolate gateau, if anyone fancies giving it a go and letting us know how they get on 😂

BlackPrism · 27/05/2019 21:56

@Tuesdayrain I AGREE. Discontinuing Cherry Garcia and Chunky Monkey was a crime against ice cream. For those of us not enamoured with toffee/chocolate/vanilla/peanut flavours they were the best

bronzesilvergold · 27/05/2019 21:57

Campino sweets

Heaviestdirtyestsoul · 27/05/2019 21:58

Italian tomato and herb super noodles!

fraumaximoo · 27/05/2019 21:59

@FadedRed Morrison's sell Lemon Puffs. Actually, I think most supermarkets do.

bronzesilvergold · 27/05/2019 22:06

Nerds and dweebs wonka sweets, used to love those!

JustHereforHarriet · 27/05/2019 22:08
