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

Cadburys chocolate
Principals - it used to be lovely
Woolworths - I miss everything
Bhs - I loved their bedding, and kitchenware, and their breakfast.
White Stuff - the women's clothes are much poorer quality than they used to be, menswear still nice though.

Boujois make-up - found out yesterday they're not selling in the uk. I usually bulk buy and went to buy my favourites. Boo!

Oh really? I noticed the other week that my local Superdrug have stopped selling Bourjous. Annoying

Mr Kipling used to do chocolate covered cup cakes in a foil case - they also did Orange and lemon ones, so delicious. A thick layer of fondant icing with vanilla sponge. Do they still sell them?

Omg I'd forgotten about them, they were yummy! I haven't seen them for ages

I miss Next how it used to be twenty five years ago, when it used to be toward the higher end of the high street. Always used to get my 'best' clothes from there. I had a beautiful red lambswool cardigan embroidered with little flowers that cost me £65 back in '94. You can't spend more than about £30 on knitwear now and it shows!

MK One, Cadbury Marble, Glitterbabes from Boots, obviously wouldn't use it now but I have memories of spending all my pocket money on it.

Bakers oven cheese and onion bakes!

Perfect ratio of pastry to filling, lovely and crisp on the outside and no layer of air in the middle.

No other pasty can top them. The greggs replacements are beyond naff

Principles petite - when it used to be a standalone store, not the tat that Debenhams now sell

Richards shops petite

Austin Reed

Petite Affair - was always online only

The Pier

RIP SALON SELECTIVES

Frugrains breakfast cereal. Oh, I loved those.

Closed down -

• Next and Gap. They weren't the biggest of stores but you could order online and return to store.

• Borders. Had a ginormous one near me and could while away hours in there.

Discontinued -

• M&S chicken escalopes
• Vaseline line fresh deodorant

Jane Norman
La Senza
Mothercare

Also bay trading and MK ONE

Yep, The Pier...

Flex Balsam shampoo. The lovely tingly feeling in your scalp.

Neutrogena clarifying shampoo.

Jackie magazine.

My youth.

GinZing. It was one if the first alcopops. It was made by Schweppes and had ginseng in it. It really perked you up.

You can still get shock but I must've been the only person who bought GinZing as it died away. ☹️

You can still get HOOCH, I mean.

I also miss my eyesight.

Lincoln Beer shampoo in the little barrel & Flex conditioner. Chelsea Girl (for sweater dresses!!)

Oats n More cereal

Ds loved it.

Irn Bru with sugar, not sweeteners.

Boots marshmallow shampoo and conditioner and in fact all of the natural collection’ stuff! I can still imagine all of those early 90’s smells and it makes me so nostalgic!!

The Pier for Christmas shopping and candles.
The pavillions shopping centre in birmingham as a whole particularly the deli France patisserie.
Yes to the international magazines in Borders.
Chocolate instant whipp the food of the gods.
Marks and spencer chicken tikka sandwiches as sold in the late 80's/early 90's.
Vice versas!

@LHMBF re Dr Pepper they have added artificial sweeteners to the full fat red version to reduce sugar content due to the sugar tax. Hence it tastes different especially if you don’t like the taste
of sweeteners.

Amazonia perfume from Aveda - the only perfume I’ve ever really liked (sadface)

@zwellers yes I used to love going to the Pavillions in Brum in the nineties. Spent ages in the pier, wax lyrical and the gadget shop.

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