Marks and Spencer Manchester Tart...last seen about 15 years ago.
Pearce Duff Raspberry Blancmange
Ambrosia Chocolate Rice Pudding in a tin, it was thick and lovely (not the awful thin one that they sell now in a plastic pot)

Coconut boost
Greggs Belgium bun with cream
Dove shimmer moisturiser - left your skin a bit of a glittered shine (although I'm probably too old for this now!)

Kez200 Texan bars for me too. Nobody seems to remember these but me - and now you!

Ohandanotherthing · 22/01/2021 19:35

Oh and mint aero hot chocolate. First the chocolate one appeared then the mint chocolate one came out and just as I thought they would bring out orange aero hot chocolate, they withdrew the mint one!

Greggs flat meat and potato pies.

I was having difficulty sourcing Greens Caramel mix and egg custard mix for ages in the supermarket and then I found the Greens shop online and have bought a good supply and some other yummy mixes too.

Ben and Jerry's cherry garcia ice cream. They do a frozen yogurt version now but it's not the same at all. Actually now I think of it, they possibly still do the ice cream at the cinema.

Lidl's Winter spiced cappuccino. They had another one at the same time but can't remember the flavour. We went through so many tins and then they just stopped selling it! Same with the salted caramel hot choc. It was dairy free so my ed could have it and it was gorgeous. Gone 😓

SirVixofVixHall · 23/01/2021 10:31

Mmm Cherry Garcia, I haven’t seen that for ages. For some annoying reason cherry things do seem to disappear.

fucknuckle · 23/01/2021 10:34

tesco did a veggie bake in the early 90s that had shredded potato on top and was full of creamy deliciousness and crunchy veg. i lived on those and Bean Feast bolognese for a good while.

for those missing scampi and lemon niknaks - i think you can still get them in the multipacks...

SirVixofVixHall · 23/01/2021 10:34

ame88 Tesco finest coffee ice cream is similar.

SirVixofVixHall · 23/01/2021 10:45

@Tootyfilou

Anyone else remember BirdsEye frozen Chocolate desserts called lovelies ? They were absolutely delicious. A Friday night treat for my sister and I after the " big shop".
I ate so many Lovelies, along with Supermousse. Lovelies came in a milk chocolate or a dark chocolate version and I could never wait for them to thaw, so would be chipping away at solid frozen stuff.
EggysMom · 23/01/2021 10:59

Cheese and tomato pot noodle
M&S spring onion flavour crisps

Absolutely! I don't think I ever ate a fully thawed one Smile

Crimples · 23/01/2021 15:35

@CentrifugalBumblePuppy Oh that St Ival cheese pic just took me waaaaaay back, the tomato flavour 💕

Tangy (Worcester sauce) Twiglets would be mine along with all the other people that’ve said it. Feel an email to Jacobs coming on

UnaLength · 23/01/2021 15:48

I thought of another thing...Lee Stafford at Boots used to do a hair smoothing balm with a slight shimmer to it...early 2000s I think. Was really amazing and smelt divine too.

SirVixofVixHall · 23/01/2021 16:10
