Hell yes to Spira!
I've been craving a Spira at least once a week for the last decade.

Also, Lea and Perrins table sauce.

@Catinabox21 @Cloud1220 you can buy cadbury marble bars in B&M! I saw them in there a few months ago and dread to think how much I have spent on them since Grin in fact I had one tonight and have a couple more in the cupboard Wink

Terry's Neapolitans. They were the best chocolates EVER. M&S have their own version, but it's just not the same. Snivel...

Don’t they still exist?

Aldi Thai Carrot soup. It was low calorie and completely delicious. And they discontinued it. Bastards.

@QueenPawPaws

Colman's mustard cheddar cheese. Great on toast Horlicks tablets
Oh my, I used to love Horlicks tablets! Haven't had them since I was a nipper (which is a very long time ago).

Pyramint bars
Flyte bars

McCoys mature cheddar crisps. Not cheese onion.

That chocolate that was like a Wispa, but with bits in.

OOAOML · 17/01/2021 23:10

Body Shop perfume oils - you could either wear them as perfume or add them to unscented bath oil etc.

Mint Baileys - I am not over that disappearing and still live in hope they will bring it back.

BikeRunSki · 17/01/2021 23:11

Fuse bars, that’s what I meant.

MartiniDry · 17/01/2021 23:13

Mushrooms in red wine sauce SOLD by Marks and Spencer about 35 years ago!

does anyone remember Birketts? they were taken over by Greggs
they had lovely pies-
gardeners pie- mixed veg in a creamy sauce in wholemeal pastry
mushroom and garlic pasties
cheese and onion pasties (really cheesy and nice puff pastry)

they also had an amazing cake that was a sort of sponge roll filled with whipped cream and raspberries at the bottom

MartiniDry · 17/01/2021 23:17

Body Shop orange water (or orange flower?) toner.
Lush pink Fun.
Body Shop henna conditioner which came in a pot/tub. That stuff was amazing.

Yes to Secret Bars, Fry’s Five Flavours, Hot Crunch, and cheesy Crispy pancakes.
I dream about Boomy ice lollies, with the lemon, strawberry and orange shaped segments.
Also, Sainsbury’s King prawn and smoked salmon sandwich filler.

LizzieVereker · 17/01/2021 23:22

Right...

Spira
Milk Tray Bar
Phileas Fogg smacks

These cheese snack things which were like two crispy lattice rolls in a packet, filled with cheese smush

Body Shop “Roma” perfume oil or EDT. I would pay A LOT of money for that.

@notreadyfortheheat

All of these! Especially treacle 🤤
They still make these but in a plastic pot for microwaving instead of having to boil them for an hour. Try B and M. We buy them for the food bank and they are one of our most requested treats now!

@Dontfuckingsaycheese

Normal simple light bulbs - that light up the whole room and don't make my whites look dingy Sad
Yes! What is it with these opaque ones?!
NerdyBird · 17/01/2021 23:31

In the early 2000s M&S did a fudgy chocolate brownie which was amazing. The baked potato and butter crisps were good too.
I used to love flavoured Toffo, remember having them going round the supermarket sat in the toddler seat. My mum would put the price label on the back of her hand and pay at the end. That'd outrage people today!
Also loved Ice Magic, and the frozen mousses.

@CottonHeadedNinyMuggins I got my mum some L'aimant spray on Amazon and they have a perfume too.
