Plain chocolate rich tea biscuits (not digestives). M&S were the last to do them. Loved that biscuit. I think some places still do the milk chocolate version? Loved the plain choc version so much!

Criss Crosses... sob I mourn their loss and no, cheesy footballs do not cut it!

I second prawn cocktail wotsits. There used to also be spicy flavoured disco's in a bronze/orange bag... used to love them things. Anyone remember Walkers putting the little blue packets inside where you could win a prize & unlike competitions these days, you quite often would win a free bag of crisps?

I managed to get hold of one last year (limited ed.) and its so much easier to handle in gloves than the new clear plastic funny shaped ones. I keep refilling it it's so good.
