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

Dr Pepper - went mad in the US recently and stocked up at a Mexican run store.

All it did was remind me how much I miss the sugar based version. I don't buy any tinned soft drinks anymore

In no particular order:

Pretty much everything that the Body Shop used to sell in the late 80s and early 90s.

Woolworths pick & mix. I know you can get pick & mix in other shops but it is not the same.

Cadbury chocolate before they changed the recipe, especially Roses at Christmas.

Snob.

Kookai.

A lovely pasta salad you used to be able to get from M&S in the 90s. It was pasta with chopped up salad stuff, but also had green apple in it and a kind of Marie Rose sauce. Sounds disgusting but was delicious.

Pretty much everything that Lush used to sell 15 years ago. They discontinued loads of the best products then ramped their prices up.

Lucozade in a glass b out the wrapped in orange cellophane bought by your mum from the local
Chemist when you were poorly.

😋

Woolworth , BHS

Ralph Lauren blue for woman perfume.
I miss it forever.

Phileas Fogg mignons morceaux. They were the most Moreish snacks ever.

PetitsGateaux my maiden name was Lee, hazard a guess at my first name (albeit with an 'h'). Every single teacher through school commented on it and their preference for either chocolate or lemon meringue. The sad thing is, as a secondary teacher if I mentioned it now the students would all look at me as if I'd lost my mind!

Came on here to say the gorgeous -smelling Vidal Sassoon shampoo, and the original lucozade in the glass bottle with orange cellophane, but I see others have beaten me to it!
Why do manufacturers discontinue popular lines?

The Cadbury Marble is only coming back to the Australian market, not the UK, according to Cadbury twitter account

Also Boots Natural Collection creme blusher and Aldi Shimmering Day Cream, smelt of peaches 🍑 still haven’t got over that one 😔 “sobs”

To anyone missing the almond scented Vidal Sassoon, Gliss do one which I think smells similar (it definitely reminds me of going to the hairdressers in the 80s and is almondy anyway). I think it’s the one in the white bottle and you can find it in pound shops and other cheapy shops everywhere.

Ohhhh, Boots Natural Collection in general. Those displays were so tempting. We loved sniffing everything. And the Global Collection with Turkish delight lip balm and two tone pink and blue bath oil which you shook to mix.

Armani mania. I’ve got about 6 nights out worth left :(

Ah, why did this thread have to remind me about Past Times. They were great for random presents. And they were the only place I could get Uncle Joe's Mint Balls in a tin.

Also Laura Ashley children's wear. I don't think anyone took over that particular market for vintage-style/traditional children's clothes, did they? Apart from the odd bit in John Lewis or maybe Monsoon for baby girls.

Past Times. I had some lovely jewellery from there. I miss River Island as it used to be before it went trendy. Also BHS because their knickers were very nice.

Orange creams biscuits
Bay Trading shops
Saxones shops (for their leather bags)
Oasis shops (not crappy concessions)
Tresemme Hair and Scalp Tonic
Garnier Naturals Moisture plus (pink tube)
Kew shops

@Bunnylady54 Hamleys has a jellybelly pick n mix, if you’re ever in London!

Tesco Lincolnshire style vegetarian sausages. DD loves them, doesn't like any other veggie sausages. Discontinued.
Someone else said Armani White perfume too. So lovely.

I don’t know if it’s gone or if my supermarket has stopped stocking it but I used to love lactose-free Philadelphia. Cream cheese without farting is just a distant memory now.

Past Times!!!! I forgot about them. All the lovely jewellery and doing my Christmas shopping as a teen. Loved that shop.

Tesco direct. They sold everything. Now you can't even buy school uniforms online.

I'm still mourning this one! They were brilliant. Their furniture was good quality for the price range and usually made in the UK. I still have several pieces and get complimented on them all the time.

Shops - Athena and the Pier
Perfume - Ibiza Hippy by Escada
Sweets - fruit poppets and these Mr Men chocolate bars from the early 80s

@PetitGateaux you can still get Sara Lee double choc gateux from Heron Foods,Fultons,Iceland etc

The brazil nut body scrub from body shop. The creamy one with the scrubby bits so harsh it scoured your skin off. I also miss the pens, bath pearls and money boxes.

Woolies pick and mix

fruit polos

There was a weird, perfumed, blue soft drink from morrisons which i dont know the name of but im sure i would recongise from the 90s. I can still taste it. Gone

Corn silk loose face powder- nothing else comes close.

Sara Lee pecan danish and double chocolate gateau.
