Spira! I used to love sucking a cuppa through them and they'd go all gooey in the middle. The best!

AfternooninthparkThink I may be your long lost twin sister...I was vehemently agreeing with your list thinking about Ovaltine chocolate bars but you beat me to it!

Lime barrels in the chocolate bar made out of Milk Tray chocolates anybody?!

Lemon and black pepper salad cream.

Lidl protein rolls. The only bread you can have on a low carb diet. Very good for people with diabetes too, I can't for the life of me understand why they don't make them any more.

anitagreen · 27/05/2019 19:06

Definitely the marble chocolate bars.
And the truffles in boxes of Celebrations.
The Co-Op used to sell an amazing ice cream that had blueberries and cinnamon biscuit in it.

Ohhh. The excitement of opening my school lunchbox and finding a Frufoo yoghurt = unparalleled joy

I also really miss Avon Soft Pink bubble bath!

I've searched and search but they are just not sold anymore, I did find some weird place selling bacon flavour ones

beanaseireann · 27/05/2019 19:08

A brilliant Coty blusher called Golden.
I don't think Coty do make up anymore.
Coty's Wild Musk. I love it but they don't sell it in Europe. Sad

onlyhereforthefood · 27/05/2019 19:09

Oh, fuse bars too. And the multi-flavour toffos.
