An icecream dessert thing called Charisma (I think), it was vanilla icecream in a roll type thing with raspberry sorbet or mousse in the middle. Loved it.

@ConfusedandContrary

Muller lights do a mandarin yoghurt. You get two in the 6 pack which also includes a papaya and mango and pineapple one I think.

Mandarin is my favourite yoghurt ever and really hard to get.

Morrisons used to do an amazing chocolate cheesecake on the cheese counter. They cut and weighed it just like cheese, so you could get a massive slice.

Starburst8 · 27/05/2019 19:20

@cinderfrickingrella apparently you can ask for still Fanta at McDonald's. Someone posted on Facebook about it the other day

The puffs were burtons puffs, I used to work with the wife of Mr Burton junior any work do would be guaranteed to end up with someone getting very drunk and asking him to get them back into production.
