Speaking of Burger King, about a decade ago they sold a BLT chicken royale baguette and it was the dog's bollocks.

You can still get sausage and tomato crisps!! Not hard to find Grin

But they don't make cheese moments anymore, so if you see them in a corner shop, they will be quite old Sad

@Apileofballyhoo

Boasters were the best! I didn't realise they'd been discontinued and was looking for them for ages before I realised. Definitely early-mid 2000's - I remember having a packet to get me through a nightshift!

@ShellsandSand

You can still get Cheese Moments in some pubs round here. Mostly the sort that's a local pub for local people rather than gastropubs etc. They were the highlight of my teenage years after swimming training.

You can still get tomato flavour Snaps, but the cheese ones don't exist anymore. Which is a shame as they were nicer than the tomato ones.

Franklymydearidontgiveadam · 26/01/2020 22:34

I loved joosters, I remember back in 2004 when I worked at the 241 pub chain and they served a pot on the kids ice cream. I ates tonnes of them. Xx
