Tesco spicy beef and jalapeño pasta melt.

The best ready meal I have ever eaten in my life. They probably didn’t sell very well because they were far too spicy for most people, but that was why I loved them.

Spira
Proper Cadbury's chocolate before it went all Mondelez/Kraft
Pacers (I did find spearmint chews in a pound shop a couple of years ago, which were similar taste and texture, but not look.)
Heinz vegetable salad
Laura Ashley No 1 perfume - original formula, not the remade version

  • Walls Romantica ice-cream cake
  • The blonde camomile version of Ultimate Blends shampoo
  • Mars Delight
  • Impulse O2 body spray
  • Body Shop dewberry stuff
  • Boots 17 pressed powder
  • Balisto bars (though I believe you can still get them in Spain)
  • Cadbury’s Mint Crisp (ditto Ireland)
  • an ice-cream bar from the early 90s called Air that had bubbly chocolate in the middle like a Wispa
  • various discontinued Ben and Jerry’s flavours

This is among my favourite genres of thread.

Body shop Seaweed soap.

  • Hedgehog crisps (cheese and tomato flavour)
  • Marmite cheese (an actual block of it, the piddly round ones are nowhere near enough!)
  • snowfruit and cream ice lollies

Colman's mustard cheddar cheese. Great on toast
Horlicks tablets

DennisSkinnersMolotov · 17/01/2021 22:40

M&S baked potato & butter flavour crisps. Amazing as they sound.

Hot crunch pudding (like a flavoured custard with biscuit crumbs you'd sprinkle on top).

I don't know who made them, bit frozen puff pastry crowns that had cheesy vegetables in white sauce in the middle. They were delicious.

Original Boost bars when they were coconut and in a red wrapper.

@SinkGirl Amazon for chicken scratchings, loads of brands

Tesco cheeseburger macaroni cheese. It was £3 for a huge tub and it was ready in 4 minutes.

Iminaglasscaseofemotion · 17/01/2021 22:44

Creamola foam
A frozen strawberry mouse pot thing my mum used to buy when we were kids. I don't. She can't remember what it was or remember where she used to buy it.

QueenPawPaws · 17/01/2021 22:44

@Wannabangbang reisen still exists!

Babyroobs · 17/01/2021 22:45

I also loved a Monsoon perfume from the nineties in a blue bottle. You can buy it on Ebay for £100 now.

ConfusedGrin🤣 I was remembering what I used to drink when I used to go out to clubs, bacardi breezes and wkd blue. Then DH said "what do young people drink now?" .....and we had no idea!Blush

ifigoup · 17/01/2021 22:51

Oh, I misremembered: the ice cream bar was called Sky, not Air. Same idea!

Iamneverfull · 17/01/2021 22:51

Freschetta pizzas. Fuse bars. Findus crispy pancakes old style. These pizza ball/pockets from 90's that I remember being amazing and I still think about them now. Mars Delight.

Cherrysoup · 17/01/2021 22:53

Omg, and Hex. I have tried to recreate it, it did not work. Why did they bring back Hooch but not Hex?! So unfair. (Pernod and black currant flavour alcopop, reminds me of Streatham and the early days of my relationship with my dh)

Viviennemary · 17/01/2021 22:53

Plain chipsticks in the red packrts. Smiths made them I think.
