Corn silk face powder. I had a spare one (I don’t often wear make up so one pot lasts ages), but found one of my daughters had taken it.

I have a couple of bags of those waffles here in the freezer, our son stopped eating them a while back (and I never throw food away!)

M&S delta crisps. Tesco and asda used to do them as well and called them ready salted triangles. They were amazing.

The original Milky Way in the navy blue packet.

Chicken crispy flavour shapes biscuits. Asda used to have them but now you can only get them from Australia.

Special k cracker crisps.

Domestos stopped their best product ever. Grotbuster...it was the best thing ever for removing black stains on grout. Grrr.

I will never forgive heinz for stopping making cheese and ham toast toppers. Never.

@ihavebrillohair if you like almond scents can I recommend the splosh almond floor cleaner. I don’t even clean floors much really but I love the smell so much I’m tempted to use as shower gel

Oh God, I actually called the Careline number on the side of a Twining’s tea packet to find out what the hell happened to their Ginger Selection pack. She broke it to me very gently, as you might when addressing a hostage taker, that they have been discontinued. I wish to God I’d never tasted a Fiery Ginger and Rhubarb teabag now. Yup, I feel your pain.

Flyte Bars. They were old milky ways....

Agree about miss selfridge Iron Lady I loved it and also used lipcote on top, but it stung so much

I am with you on the Domestos Grotbuster Moonpiggle.

I was only whinging to our cleaner last week about its efficacy on grout mould. I have now got some stuff called HG that you are supposed to use wearing a face mask! Bring back Grotbuster!

Mum botanical deodorant, discontinued circa 1997. Best smelling deodorant I ever had. So many people would compliment me and ask what perfume I was wearing as it suited me so much.

Still sad / bitter over 20 years later.

Benefit moon beam, no other highlighter lives up to it!

moonpiggle · 04/06/2019 22:25

@Iamthewombat Ha thst sounds brutal! Although I did email Domestos to ask why they didcontinued and they replied - there wasnt a great demand for it! But they suggested their bleach that has 'c-tac' in it. And it does actually work!

Make your own yellow curry? It’s just yellow curry paste and coconut cream essentially, only marginally slower that a jar sauce but half the price.

I miss Ainsley Harriott risotto. And Ainsley Harriott generally.

Homepride used to do a lovely pasta sauce. It was brown, (not their bolognese one) not a pasta bake sauce, just a sauce. I think it was smoky bacon flavour. It was delicious. It was my go to comfort food when I got in late from work. If I’d known they were discontinuing it I’d have stocked up. I still look for it in the shops just in case. Grin

Limaloma1 · 04/06/2019 22:33

Aldi's Carlos frozen chicken and mango flat bread pizza. It was delicious. Probably the only frozen pizza I've enjoyed. Then its vanished 😫. I wish they would give you warning that they are going to discontinue items. Oh and that Ranna filled pasta, mushroom flavour. That has disappeared from my local Asda too. 😡

@mintich was moon beam properly blinding? I have a liquid highlighter that is AMAZING, the best I've tried

Original source have changed the ingredients of mint source shower gel when they changed the packaging a few months ago. Added two ingredients that I violently react to, took weeks for my skin to repair. Only shower gel I wasn't allergic to, used for twenty years, GONE.

To add salt to that wound when I tried to contact them and left a review on their website they wouldn't pass it through moderation and totally dingeeed me.

BASTARDS.

Oh and farm foods did these mega smoothie packs. Individual servings frozen and you shoved them in a blender with some juice or milk and got an instant fruit/veg smoothie
I had high blood pressure at the time and was only early 20s. Started having one of those a day and bizarrely my blood pressure dropped so much the doctor asked what I had been taking. Plus they tasted lovely
