Crisps in a green packet, the crisps were shaped like a portcullis and there was a picture of a jester and a joke on the back of the packet. This is about 35 years ago.

Those lollies like feasts but pink with hidden chocolate

M&S used to do a lasagne in a gold coloured foil outer which you boiled - it was the tastiest lasagne I’ve ever had! But I don’t eat pasta now, so just as well it’s gone!

They also used to do a tuna melt which was divine, and a carrot a coriander pate which was so tasty. But I’d eat neither of these now anyway!!!

Chicchicchicchiclana · 17/01/2021 19:39

Body Shop green herbs shower gel.

Infact all Body Shop products before Anita Roddick sold out to L'Oreal, and it became a MLM and it became anti-women.

LemonDrizzles · 17/01/2021 19:40

Avon clearskin scrub. They changed the formula in 2019 AGAIN. third change in my lifetime. Come on Avon, why? It was a great product!

I can no longer but oil of olay moisture body wash (or eggo waffles) in this country - but it still exists.

Lyons Individual Fruit Pies - the original square ones with a 3x3 grid of little holes in the top crust (not the round pies that replaced them - they were never the same after that) which cost 7d (that's seven old pence - i.e. about 3p)

Cadbury's Aztec chocolate bars (essentially a Mars bar clone, but even nicer).

Proper coke in glass bottles, I'd forgotten how good the full sugar version was until we went to Spain a few years ago and Cabana chocolate bars with old style nestle chocolate, they were my favourites and discontinued in the 90's 🥲
