Ok so maybe the woman on the packet isn’t picking tea, I had confused the mental image with the woman on the Uncle Bens packets! Grin

Must be! Although I saw that pic and didn't remember what the multipack bag looked like. I loved those back in the day.

@twosoups1972 oh god I bloody loved that stuff! I'd forgotten all about it!!
My gran used to heat milk in a pan and melt a bar of Fry's chocolate cream into it and give me it as a bedtime drink. Clearly I was the favourite grandchild 😂. Well I was the youngest 😃

@itchychin was it a gold bar?

Geraniumpink · 05/06/2019 23:09

Mrspep - they’ve brought back trio. I find in Lidl sometimes. It’s still lovely.

Really like The Body Shop scent Frosted Plum. It is almost exactly like the dewberry scent from the mid 90's. It seems they only did frosted plum Christmas 2017 though, when I looked for it last Christmas it wasn't there🙄 luckily I still have a hand cream in the scent.

I remember a kind of herbal botanical fizzy drink from the 90's, which I used to love. Have a feeling it was in a partially green can and the name perhaps started with a k?
It was short lived so doubt many will know what it was.
