Sara Le made a delicious frozen dessert that came in a foil tray ready for the oven. It was probably just chocolate croissant and chocolate sauce but it was amazing. I still check the freezer section now, even though I last had it in about 1995

Miss Selfridge Iron Lady lipstick.

FaithInfinity - Next have started to sell some Florence and Fred stuff on their website. Might be worth a check to see if your DDs uniform bits are available? They do sell some of the Tesco kids stuff.

Interested in this thread?

Avon skinsosoft used to be an awesome midge repellant, v popular in Scotland. Now they've changed the recipe and it doesn't work anymore!

My mum still has a half full bottle from at least 10 maybe 15 years ago. Used to be used for camping. Probably shouldn't be used now though Grin

Tom Ford 'Sahara Noir'! Food wise, M&S zucchini fritti and there's just been a limited Muller lite in carrot cake flavour that's gone already!

L’oreal Elvive dandruff shampoo. Gone. It’s a huge problem, nothing else works

DogsandBoysmeanMud · 04/06/2019 23:16

Lots of companies have companies like this www.elcompanies.com/en/news-and-media/contact-us/gone-but-not-forgotten

Worth a google

Try aveeno, made from oats....amazing!

Just emailed Soap and Glory - not that it will do any good.

A march? A protest?

Nice and spicy pot noodle, don't even like pot noodle but that one was divine

The Body Shop for stopping the messy henna conditioner that used to come in a tub. Nothing has ever come close to that for sorting out condition and shine.
No7 for the Beautifully Matte (before that called Shine Free) primer.. my holy grail, my desert island product, they are now going for £100 on eBay, which shows you how much people want them still

L'Oréal men's dandruff shampoo with orange lid. It was the only non medicated shampoo I could use without getting an itchy on fire scalp

Bodyshop Dewberry spray

Or Superdrug do their own one - cheaper and cruelty free Smile

Tesco used to do a smoked hummus - I loved it and used to eat pots and pots of it. They stopped doing it, and their edamame bean and pea salad, and fresh lemongrass, and I started shopping at Sainsbury’s. They do the lemongrass and a similar salad, but no smoked hummus.

Waitrose do a smoked hummus, but it doesn’t taste like the Tesco one - it is too spicy.

Branston pickle cheddars - vanished

Aldi 0% shower gel ( similar to sanex) was the most moisturising shower gel I have ever tried - I loved it - vanished

Neutralia bubble baths, shower gel and shampoo by Garnier.

Not only were they perfect for changing my Psoriatic skin, hair and nails into delicate, smooth, glowing examples of beauty, they smelled lovely and clean.

It's been about ten years now. I bought up the last five bottles as soon as they started withdrawing the various things. Only to find on using up bottle #4 that the ex boyfriend had deliberately used them up/given them away/taken them home out of spite/jealousy/he hated the idea that i had something I liked that was just for me.

Bastards.

Collyre Bleu Eye Drops, no longer available in the UK. Essentially a blue dye, but one drop made your eyes look bloody fantastic. They messed around with the formula and fucked it up completely. Nothing else comes close.
