@FrownPrincess

I’d forgotten about Horlicks tablets!

Used to love them.

Oh and safe way used to do these big chocolate chip cookies in the bakery. They were soft and chewy and my mum used to get me one every Saturday when she went shopping. The best.

Worcester sauce twiglets made a random comeback a few years ago. I stocked up on a bajillion packets, lasted about two weeks.

Mullar corner Mississippi mud pie
I don't know if it's discontinued but I've not saw it in years

Cherylshaw · 27/05/2019 23:13

The ice lolly that was like purple marbled coloured
Was amazing

cheesenpickles · 27/05/2019 23:14

Also thank you to the pps who said about Phileas Fogg mignons morceaux. Dh thinks I'm mad talking about "the hard bread biscuity crisps" my parents had when I was a child that were fancy.

Cherylshaw · 27/05/2019 23:19

Just searched and it was called a zzapP ice lolly
Best thing ever

cheesenpickles · 27/05/2019 23:20

Bloody loved Zzaps. They were toffee flavour I think you can get them from the off ice cream van.

fraumaximoo · 27/05/2019 23:21

@Guerlainista there's a new spudulike at Bluewater shopping Centre.

booksandcaffeine · 27/05/2019 23:29

Asda used to sell these casseroles in the chilled section, it included lamb, pork and two different types of chicken. The lamb one was my favourite. Also the sausage and onion plait from Asda.

I miss mingles, turkey twizzlers and the original Sunny D (florida orange). Also BN biscuits, they got brought back a few years ago but they've disappeared again 😭

booksandcaffeine · 27/05/2019 23:37

Forgot about prawn cocktail quavers/wotsits. Also orange ribena was lovely, as was the apple flavour.

DixieLandReject · 27/05/2019 23:38

Aqua Libra drink and Birdseye Hungry Joes

anitagreen · 27/05/2019 23:46

@booksandcaffeine you can still get orange Ribena x

Burton Potato puffs, the beef flavour.
They were lovely and I think 2p or maybe 5p in the tuck shop at school.

Walls sausage balls - lived on these as a fussy child and the fact that they’ve gone is a travesty.

Tesco two or three years ago made strawberry flapjack bars which were like two thick flapjacks sandwiches together by a line of thick jam in between each squidgy flapjack - oh they were heavenly! But they were discontinued. I mourn them massively.

Milk chews, like fruitellas but milky - so nice, found them in my local corner store as a one off then gone!

Muller corner did a limited edition yoghurt which was like crystallised pieces of almond and vanilla yoghurt in a green packet - gone. Was so luxurious.

Onken! Onken made a LUSH Greek yoghurt that was ‘set’ so not runny and there was no residue on top - it was basically like eating cream it was so thick and sweet, but it wasn’t that calorie heavy — it was my breakfast when I was healthy eating for a solid four months and they’ve just totally disappeared! They still do a Greek yoghurt but it’s not ‘set’ so it’s runny, watery and sour. I miss it so much!
