Pretzel flips were gone for years. I could only get them from amazon US! And now they are back and my life is complete :)

Ski mandarin yogurt. It's really hard to find orange flavour yogurt now (only Morrison's sometimes has it and it's really bitter)

Compton Gravy Salt can't get it for love nor money

These small disc shaped cola flavoured hard sweets that Swizzels used to make. They were sold in 'party bags' that contained a selection of their sweets.

Fuse bars
Those crisps that were like hollow pigs which were bacon flavour.
M&S did a ready meal which was just garlic spaghetti I think I lived on this for a year

SinkGirl · 27/05/2019 18:45

Oh and Romantica - bit like viennetta but round and more awesome

kalinkafoxtrot45 · 27/05/2019 18:45

Vesta Chicken Curry. I loved that stuff. You can only get the beef one now and it’s incredibly hard to find.

ConfusedandContrary · 27/05/2019 18:46

I loved the UFO yogurts too.

Also Fiendish Feet.

mumofbeagles · 27/05/2019 18:47

Campinos

Ellabella989 · 27/05/2019 18:47

@confusedandcontrary do you mean the Frufoo yogurts with the toy in the middle? Those were the best!

ConfusedandContrary · 27/05/2019 18:48

Yes! Those were the best.

PigletJohn · 27/05/2019 18:48

Heinz tinned vegetable salad.

ConfusedandContrary · 27/05/2019 18:49

I just realised that I unintentionally said the same thing that you did. That wasn't deliberate, I promise but they really were the best.

julensaor · 27/05/2019 18:49

Yoplait set yogurts

Start cereal!

Avon used to stock a wonderful lipstick which had a central core which was minty.
I used to use it all the time and nobody seems to make anything similar .

If any Avon reps know of any stockists of discontinued lines I'd be very grateful

CheesecakeAddict · 27/05/2019 18:51

The flake with the white chocolate in the middle.

Ooh and those yoghurts with the toy in the middle. I've been trying to find the name for years

GetTheStartyParted · 27/05/2019 18:51

@stucknoue Tesco have an orange and grapefruit yoghurt, might be worth a try?

I miss salt and vinegar quavers, cheese snaps and crunchie explosion bars.

I miss lots of the other items mentioned too.
