My partner and I were reminiscing today about the 90s etc and our old teen hoods, we got on the conversation about things we miss you can't get anymore...

Bodyshop dewberry spray
Proper decent tasting cordial (without the horrible sweetener taste)
Watermelon barcardi breezers
Maybelline - ever fresh foundation

Trebor mints. They were bloody delicious. I feel a mixture of sadness and fury when I think of never having them ever again.

Karvol capsules - the soothing smell of a snuffly childhood

Yeah, I remember squeezing the contents on to a hankie. I used to like to keep squeezing the empty capsule because it was all squishy and felt like jelly.

Fun fax! It was always one of my fav Christmas presents!

Cherrysoup · 25/01/2020 22:47

can u not get BN biscuits? thought I saw them recently.

Asda, I think.

Texan bars-so many people say this on this type of thread, why the heck haven’t they brought them back yet? Same for Body Shop passion fruit facial wash.

Oopsinamechangedagain2020 · 25/01/2020 22:48

The coconut version of Toffee Crisp bars. It was in a blue wrapper and it was bloody lovely.

Probably early 2000s though and not 90s.

Body Shop Blue Corn Scrub Mask and their Oatmeal Mask.

Cherrysoup · 25/01/2020 22:55

Hex, omg, how could I forget?! Reminds me of living in Streatham, just before I got married a million years ago, that and Hooch, which I notice is regularly re-launched. Why not Hex?? We’ve tried re-creating it with black currant and Pernod, but it’s never quite right. 😢

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!

Just dip plain rich tea in melted plain chocolate, pretty easy and will make you super happy!

turnthebiglightoff · 25/01/2020 23:01

The "purple" Fructis shampoo and conditioner that cake in the green bottle. Smelled like what I imagine heaven to smell like

virginpinkmartini · 25/01/2020 23:01

Mine are all sweets from the 90s/ early 2000s.
Willy Wonka popping candy chocolate, and the Wonka Oompa Loompa sweets. One of them was mashed potato flavoured and it was really nice lol.
Irn Bru bars, it's a crime they aren't sold any more.
A Bugs Life ice lollies, with the jelly bugs suspended in them.
Rowntree Body Parts (lovely and sour) , and Rowntree Bursting Bugs, that squirted goo when you bit into them. Vile but gorgeous at the same time.
Original Slush Puppy recipe. It's all natural fruit flavourings now, doesn't compare.
