Posted a thread of what were treats growing up to you, and it was a really nice thread, got me thinking what foods now can't you buy that you used to love? Here are some of mine..
Milky Bar Chews
Those plastic drinks with the funny lid you twisted of,
Panda pops
Frufoo yogurts
Turkey Twizzlers
Dream Bar

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed
Lindt used to do flat animal shapes in chocolate; I think they did cats as well as bunnies.

Terry's Dark Chocolate Lemons

Treets
Toffo
Highland bars

5-4-3-2-1 bars
Frys 5 centres
Ice cream foot ice lollys
Golden cup
Fuse bar....I want chocolate now.

@anitagreen ooo il have to get some !!!

Those crisps that looked like little pasta tubes, but with closed ends.

Scampi niknaks are still available but they taste of slightly fishy cardboard now. No good at all.

Brannigan beer buts and the mini pickled onion hula hoops that were super strong. Oh and salt b vinegar crunchy fries in the rectangle packet

@randomer7 I do! They turned your tongue blue

Yes, they did, little packs of 6 (or 9??). I can picture them. My godmother used to send them to me at Easter.

Cleopatra soap! Gorgeous smelling, luxurious creamy bar of soap around in about the late 80s. Came in deep purple and gold packaging...oozed decadence!!

Dream bars
Twix used to do a weird flat biscuit? That was ace.

Marble bars, Spiras, Astros, Vice Versas, Cherry Garcia and Oh My Apple Pie Ben and Jerry's ice cream.

Radox used to do a beautiful Sunflower scented shower gel that I'd love to use again. It reminds me of moving away to university as my mum packed some in a hamper for me :)

Charlie Sunshine perfume. I loved this as a teen but haven't seen it for years (can only find Charlie Silver, Blue and Red)

You can get vice versas again and they aren’t as nice as they used to be. They must have changed the recipe as they used to be amazing back in the day

If anyone’s mourning Ben and Jerry’s Baked Alaska icecream - do not!
They’re bringing it back and I swear I heard murmurings about them bringing back Cherry Garcia too.

Remembered another one - Werthers chocolate! No one else I know remembers them. They were chocolates shaped like with the Werthers flavour drizzled through and they were sooooo nice, melted in the mouth into chocolatey Werthers goodness. They only sell the hard Werthers with the chocolate inside (like chocolate eclairs) but they’re not the same!

Oh and Metz alcopops! There was a really creepy advert with something called the Judderman

Fudgecakes. You can buy Cleopatra soap on EBay. No idea if it's the same recipe but it looks like what you describe.

Fruit poppets. The mixed ones - they were my fav when I was wee.

Also loved these choc bars called "Mr Big". Only ever saw them at the ice cream van but never elsewhere. They were amazing.

McChicken Korma Naan from the 90's...and their old Iced Mocha.

I've just remembered, M&S used to do an amazing meal of chicken and avocado in a parmesan cream sauce. I think you microwaved the chicken and sauce and then the avocado came separately in the box to b used as garnish. I lived off this for a while in the late 90s (had a student job in M&S and it was frequently in the cafe vending machine for lunch). I remember trying to recreate it myself using a mixture of creme fraiche and grated parmesan - complete disaster!

...ohh, thinking about sandwiches! There used to be a three bean wrap from Tescos I think? That was great. And Spar did a cheese and pickle sandwich on white bread that's suddenly started tasting wrong, I think the bread changed from floofy white to something spongier. Libby's Tomato Juice in the glass bottle was bloody delicious too - it's comparatively rare these days and doesn't taste the same out of a carton!

M&S used to to a fab crispy duck, hoi-sin, & cucumber wrap packed with tasty duck, which was a real treat.

It was discontinued, then a pale imitation with meagre filling appeared for a while, but it was so disappointing I only bought it once.
Why tamper with something that is a success, the original version used to sell out everyday?

I tried one once, it wasn't great. Most people clearly don't like it as it's the only wrap that is left at the end of the day in our local M&S small shop.

OMG Strongleberry.....you have made my day 😊.....looks like the exact same soap. I'm going to buy some, run a bath, put on my Soul II Soul CD and transport myself back to 1989 ....and I shall smell gorgeous once more. Thanks x

Impulse body spray in O2- the blue can

Moments by Cadbury's- hexagonal caramel filled chocolates with a hazelnut in the centre.

Conditioner from Netto- a white bottle with blue writing and a stripe across it. It smelled like heaven in a bottle and made my hair so happy, and my purse at 79p.

Hedgehog flavoured crisps.
Dewberry from Bodyshop.
