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

Hepworths (I'm male). You could get a good bespoke suit in any High Street for a week's wages. Now it's a month's, and they're put together with staples in Vietnam.

BHS

Woolies (and Big W) - loved those red slot machines you put 10p in and got a mini dairy milk. and their huge toblerone bars- 3 for a fiver near Christmas

Kookai (ok that is going back a bit!)

Wimpy burger bars (even further back)

Bookends (new cheap books and also a whole basement of second hand books. I loved it there. There was a branch in Bristol and one in Gloucester)

An online shop called The Winking Cavy Store which was full of gifts, jewellery etc all guinea pig related!

Discontinued things (this is going to be looong):

Terry's Pyramints

Terry's original style choc oranges (the new ones just aren't the same)

McDonald's McRib

Ben and Jerry's Chubby Hubby (with peanut butter pretzels in vanilla and chocolate swirls)

Terry's Nepolitans

Terry's melting moments bars (early to mid 90s- hexagonal chocolate squares with hazelnut and caramel and they also did one with mountain shaped segments and white chocolate "snow" on the peaks)

Cadbury's Snowflake

Fry's 5 Centres (this is cheating a bit as by the time I was born they discontinued it, but when I read about retro choclate and this bar always comes up, I feel sad that it was discontinued as sounds so good. Ditto Cabana bars and Banjo bars)

Wall's ce cream Tacos

Gino Ginelli ice cream especially Choc Hazelnut and Tutti Frutti

King Cones (not Burger King but those huge cornets you got from ice cream vans)

Shaders and Toners- wash in wash out hair colours

Oh, just remembered- Faith and Dolcis shoe shops

Cadbury's Top Deck (can get it in South Africa now, apparently for a price)

Cadbury's Mint Crisp- ok, you can get it but very rarley (only a few shops now and it is tiny)

I miss how crisp bags were not half full of air

Chambourcy mousses (in strawberry or chocolate, hippo design on packet)

Beef Discos

Beef Crunchies, or Cheese and Onion Crunchies (kind of like Quavers type crisps)

Body Shop patchouli perfume

And dolce and gabana "feminine" perfume

Oh yes @Bluesheep8

D&GFeminine was my favourite perfume in the late 90s/early 2000s. I bought a part used bottle on eBay a while ago for over the odds, just to be able to sniff it again .

Coty Sweet Earth solid perfume palettes. I had 3 or 4 of the different combinations.

@ImOnlyHereForTheCapybaras if you’re feeling really dirty, my kids reliably inform me that Lidl microwave BBQ rib in a bun is an excellent dupe for the McRib.

Spiras were my all time favourite. I really miss them. I did love. Secret too although they were quite sickly.

I had a great all in one face base from Body Shop in the mid-late 90s. You used a wet sponge to apply it and it was like a hard powder which you spread onto your face with said wet sponge and it dried matte. I loved it.

McDonald's hot fudge sundaes. Heartbroken

@DariaMorgendorffer

Yes! The hot fudge sundaes were wonderful. All this McFlurry nonsense nowadays .

McD’s cinnamon doughnuts were also lovely.

Bay Trading,used to love some of their clothes.And Etam.

Clockhouse at C&A

Cosmetics to go (early and better incarnation of Lush) and its Happy Hippy body wash, egg shampoo and conditioner (my hair has never been so shiny) , ginger perfume and minty exfoliating face and body mask.

As someone else said, River Island before it went trendy.

Body Shop Morello Cherry lip balm
City L'aimant creamy skin perfume
Pyramint
Cosmetics To Go, especially their Myddvai Face And Back Pack
Past Times. I sodding loved Past Times.

Lemon polos - I adored these.
M&s chicken tikka sandwich was my treat

There was a shop called Tchibo. They used to change the stock once a week and it was all random but so good.

Also miss the shoe shops - ravel, dolcis, faith etc. Used to love going shoe shopping!!

I thought of some more.

these frozen french bread pizzas my mum used to buy us. Oh they were so nice.

Gino Ginelli ice cream

And these little tubs of ice cream/mousse which were frozen and had chocolate sauce and nuts on top. Those were our treats.

M&s crispbread. I never got over the loss of those. Used to buy boxes of them at a time.

Bath pearls and bath salts. They were crap but I just loved spending my pocket money on them and they just bring back such happy memories!

This thread threw me down a rabbit hole of googling what the hell happened to Crabtree and Evelyn

They were a Christmas staple for older relatives. And I loved the Jojoba range, delicious and comforting smelling and beautiful waterbabies-esque illustrated packaging.

Athena

Bay trading

Woolworths

Tammy Girl

@littlepooch Aldi do frozen French bread pizzas!

these frozen french bread pizzas my mum used to buy us. Oh they were so nice.

Yes. Also forgot about them.

Body Shop White Musk Libertine. Why do the Body Shop have to discontinue so much stuff

mcdonald's chicken premier
mcdonald's smarties flurries

I miss our local M&S which closed last year. It was only small but had a food section, decent range of kids clothes and useful for tights and socks.
I also miss the range of shoe shops.

My DS misses Crunchie Biscuits and insists I look each time .
They are gone

Little chocolate topped cakes with a single Smartie on top, and little square chocolate cakes too -covered in chocolate+Smartie .

Remembered another few :-

Tubes crisps (like a square crisp rolled )
Secret chocolate bar
Spirals chocolate
Special k cracker crisps.
