Jacobs crunch bars (not that muesli Schmuck that they seem to sell everywhere nowadays) they were crunchy and tasty.

Orange creams from Hills biscuits. Sporadically find them in the poundshop.

Proper original Sanex shower gels the original scent of the blue bottle. That rank smelling stuff that they are currently selling is only good for cleaning the cat litter tray.

Salt and vinegar monster munch crisps.

White chocolate mice with hundreds and thousands on the top.

@ThreeFish I think cremola foam was a Scottish thing as no one down here had ever heard of it!
I remember my sister telling me Andrews Liver salts were the same and got me to drink 3 glasses of it. Bitch she is 😂😂💩

Does anyone remember Chinese spare ribs crisps? Used to buy them from our school tuck shop in the late 80s. They came in a shiny black packet.

Also - a chocolate bar in an orange wrapper from the 70s/80s. It had crunchy bits in. Think the wrapper had a picture of a woman picking tea. Does this ring any bells with anyone?

iamclaireandfleabag · 04/06/2019 22:31

Spira bars but now Cadbury have gone rogue I want galaxy to start making them instead

twosoups1972 · 04/06/2019 22:33

It was a bigger bar rather than individual.

lauryloo · 04/06/2019 22:57

Zoom lollies. Not the rocket ones in the supermarket. Actual zoom ones with banana at the top

babyno5 · 04/06/2019 22:58

@twosoups1972 was it this?

Coconut boosts
Prawn cocktail quavers
McDonald's caramel sundaes ,I used to push a hot apple pie into the middle oh my god it was Sooooo good! They will still make a type of caramel sundae, the toffee sauce over plain ice cream.

Crisps from our tuck shop called nuggets- they were like small cheese balls and if I could bring back any crisps it would be those
Lovells milky lunch- very few people remember them
Frozen sticks of cream you got in a bag and defrosted as required- we would eat them like lollies
