@OnlyYellowRoses oh god I had a bad bad night on watermelon Bacardi breeders. They aren't as nice coming back up again. Could never touch them again 😂

Kit kats with 4 bars to them in foil :( And a weird bar from childhood called Roy of the rovers, sour fizzy pineapple!

Sainsbury's (circa 1998) used to do a lush yaki udon noodle ready meal, gutted when they stopped making it. Also, around the same time, the original Freschetta frozen pizza had amazing chunks of fennelly pork sausage on it, not the same these days

Quite recently the mccoys thick cut cheddar and red onion have disappeared at least from uk :(

Bit niche but Betty Crocker Bacos, soya bits tasting of bacon which you could add to quiches etc. Now banned as it turns out they may be carcinogenic Sad

To whoever said peanut Boosts - weren't they just rebranded as Star Bars? Best chocolate bar in my opinion.
Scampi niknaks are still available.

Walnutwhipster · 29/05/2019 23:52

I can't eat food but I suck on these. A small packet will last me days. I have six packets left but am really upset they stopped production in March.

Mustbetime I’m not sure as I’ve never had a Peanut Boost but Star Bars were around years ago (late 70s?) and then disappeared for a time.
