Closed down or discontinued - what do you miss?

[StuckBetweenDarknessAndLight]

My local Oasis closed down before Christmas and I miss it so much! I've just been browsing their website and it's just not the same as seeing something on the hanger and thinking "ooh that's pretty!"
My favourite perfume and lipstick have been discontinued. I've been stockpiling thanks to ebay but they've been gone so long now I don't think I will get any more of either now. I won't look or smell the same soon
What do you miss?
I fully expect this thread to be lots of people missing Woolworths and yes I still miss them too

Peaceanddove, me too re the Nicky Clarke aluminium bottles..they smelt amazing. Apparently discontinued because they were heavy and cracked peoples baths! They were my smell of the 90s , or at least for a few years

Petunia makeup from Boots (early noughties)

Keep it Fluffy perfume from Lush (B Never) - my all time fave
Everything from Cosmetics To Go

Superdrug selling Bloom makeup
Superdrug seiing all Eyeko products for £5 a pop...and all the old Eyeko products like the Fat Balm and bubblegum perfume..I don't rate their leaky eye makeup at all, stays put for seconds

M&S Marinated Feta -they did a new version that is waaaay too lemony .

Easi-Yo Yoghurt Strawberry Mousse mix - it is still available but only in catering packs (even I couldn't eat 240 portions of the damn mousse)

Entemanns cakes. The cinnamon one was amazing.
Cheese Moments.
Ananya, Fuzzy Peach and Rose Musk Body Shop perfumes. In fact the whole original ethos of the Body Shop; Re-use Refill Recycle.
Texan bars, Snow Flakes, Spangles
Those ice cream bars with the bubbly chocolate through the middle

@Beamur has your daughter tried the Linda M Lincolnshire sausages? I’m mourning the Tesco ones too 😒.

Covent Garden General Store in London. A beautiful emporium with loads of tiny stalls and diverse merchandise for sale...

Are there plain aero bars anymore? Not the sharing bar type where you break off pieces, the sort of mars bar shaped one.

And also - Ruschian (?) Schweppes mixer, delicious!

Was that the pink mixer - I loved that, vodka and Russian was my drink back in the day.

You can get this in all of the supermarkets

@Starksforthewin @user764329056 Thanks both for the Anne French tip - I shall get onto google immediately! I'd love a good sniff of it now!

And I also have no memory of Milky Ways being brown inside, despite having been a very greedy child 40 years ago...

Mr Kipling Bramley Apple Sundae Pies. Just delicious x

I also miss Sweeney Todd's restaurant in Bath - omg the nachos were to die for.

And the Covent Garden General Store rings a huge bell but my memory doesn't quite dredge it up...

BHS swimming costumes. I'm tall and they did most styles in a longer body option. They were about 1/3 cheaper than M&S and the same quality.

Not where I live @BobbinThreadbare123. I love the stuff and the only place I occasionally find it is B&M.

This is a great thread. Thanks for starting it OP.

I’m remembering things I’d forgotten and mourning their demise anew. Very helpful tips from lots of posters, my bank card will be melting.😀

Ananya, totally forgot about that, i loved it and the fuzzy peach, dewberry and tea rose. And the pretty peach stuff which I think was Avon, can't remember

L’Oréal hydra repair, which is about the only hair product I’m not allergic to.

This teapot. I am entirely desperate to buy it, can find it nowhere and this is most vexing.

@deathraystare

Yes, tasted the same to me, anyway! I hadn't seen it for years then discovered it last year and bought a 1kg pack of it. I live alone...

This teapot is pretty close

@BobbinThreadbare123 Thankyou! It’s not in my local shops but Sainsbury’s deliver - happy days! Thanks!

Alonghardwinter Head to Belgium - several C&A there; I lived about 15 minutes drive from a small one and 20 minutes away from a bigger one.

There was a clothes shop in Liverpool city centre in the early 80s called Now. Not sure if it was part of a chain. No one seems to remember it.

Woodley Green Apple Shampoo
Oh thank you @Bunnylady54 I remember vividly the first time I smelt this - the nostalgia 💜

Gratuitous Violets and No.17 Cherry Tree Lane soaps from Lush, both divine, flowery scents. Can't be doing with all the ones that smell like you should eat them.
