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
Milkybar choos

M&S ham & cheese bites. Little bites of party food that I could eat in one sitting. I think there were only twelve in a pack though.

Burger King mushroom double swiss

Gah!

I'd forgotten about those.
Now I really, really want one.

CooCooCoo · 25/01/2020 23:09

Oh of course Irn Bru bars. Omg yes.

Cyberdog clothing that’s still going!

TroysMammy · 25/01/2020 23:10

As PPs have mentioned ready salted chipsticks and Horlicks tablets.
I've just thought of Cresta pop strawberry flavour although I'd probably hate it now.

Chocmallows · 25/01/2020 23:11

IdleBet · 25/01/2020 23:15

BreconBeBuggered · 25/01/2020 23:20

Old style Rowntree's fruit gums before they 'improved' the recipe some time in the mid 90s and made them softer.
Henara shampoo for blonde hair. Though I'm probably long past it making any difference to mine.

IdleBet · 25/01/2020 23:22

Mint toffos
Limara? body spray

GingerFoxInAT0phat · 25/01/2020 23:23

JudgeRindersMinder · 25/01/2020 23:27

@Redonion123

I’m SO with you. GERMOLINE in the tin. ID EVEN SETTLE FOR THE TIN TUBE anything but this nonsense they’re trying to osss off as germoline these days!

I’d willingly never see anything else listed above if I could have proper germoline back

Franklymydearidontgiveadam · 25/01/2020 23:48

I feel like Chicken tonight like chicken tonight!

When it was acceptably OK to rely on jar food and not cook from scratch...

Body shop oils especially "Roma"

Clarins Eau Dynamisante perfume oil.

Cadburys chocolate the way it used to be - it's horrible now.

DragonMamma · 26/01/2020 00:00

I can’t be the only one singing the theme tune to Gino Ginelli (ice cream-o Italia!)

I miss Whoppa bars (spearmint or cola) and tangy toms.

Or any sweets before they removed the E numbers really.

Also, Fiendis Feet yoghurts

Nutellalovesme · 26/01/2020 00:02

Tesco maple syrup popcorn (90's-00's)

Nutella before the recipe change a few years ago

MartiniDry · 26/01/2020 00:21

Ribena. Proper Ribena, not that watery sharp tasting stuff they sell now. Flex conditioner and Shampoo. Mint ice lollies. And, a fairly recent and quite disgraceful deprivation- Lush Pink Fun.
So if anyone from #Lush is reading this, what do you think you're doing?! How dare you deprive me of the best Lush product ever!
(And if any MNer has some lounging about, unloved and unwanted in their bathroom, please let me know. I'll be extremely happy to pay you for it and to cover post etc costs).

user133367 · 26/01/2020 00:23

Asda own black cherry milk chocolate sandwich bars. Like a penguin, but with a layer of black cherry goo on top. I think of them often, and no-one I've ever met remembers them. RIP black cherry sandwich bars, I think of you often Flowers
