M&S Whisp yoghurts. Also, their lattice sausage rolls with a layer of cheese on top of the sausage and the Chicken Pappardelle ready meal.

Asda also used to do a lovely sleep tea, one made with powder like the Whittards ones.

Mint Cracknel.

Canned tuna in BBQ sauce, was yummy on a baked potato and adding BBQ sauce to plain tuna is not the same.

Heinz Toast Toppers. Tiny little tins vastly overpriced but lovely and easy to rustle up. I wish I could find a recipe to make a home made version.

Cherry Veba alcopop. I still search for this every now and then.

Rose breath freshener from Cosmetics to Go (now Lush).

Glitter Babe products from Boots :( they smell so nostalgic!

Stravapalava · 27/05/2019 19:44

@PivotPivotPivottt you can get the milky bar choos on amazon. Not sure they'll still be the same mind.

Heinz cream of celery soup, it was my favourite Sad

M&S always discontinue my favourites, they used to make these pink grapefruit flavour sweets called Tinos. I loved those. They also did mustard crisps, which sound disgusting but were incredible.

Goodgriefisitginfizzoclock · 27/05/2019 19:46

Knorr Mexican Fajitas in a small squat jar. Spicy heaven!

ilovepixie · 27/05/2019 19:50

marks used to do crisps called chicken in a basket. They were chicken flavoured and an oval wicker shape. They were gorgeous.

woohootoyou · 27/05/2019 19:51
