What do you still buy that you're convinced no one else still does?

Title may have been a slight exaggeration, but is there anything you continue to purchase ( be it groceries, cleaning products, home bits etc) that is maybe seen as outdated, useless, old fashioned or just generally unliked by the masses , that you continue to buy?

Mine is Fisherman's Friend. I love them but have never found anyone else who still buys them!

I reckon most of you on here are my age or older-50 ish? It’s all 70s/80s’ stuff my mum used.

Faggots and cod in sauce still feature largely in the Cherrysoup household. Bog standard winter tea with potatoes, peas etc. The faggots often go in a giant Yorkshire pudding, with veg shoved in with it. Pease pudding was a big feature of my childhood, being northern. Mother still makes it occasionally when she’s boiling up a ham.

The dogs like pig trotters. I don’t see the point when you can have stuff with loads more meat on it.
