I recently found out the name of something which was discontinued years ago and I still mourn.

Terrys Moments - Hexagonal chocolate with a caramel filling inside

Orange Chewits I swear are gone too.

Anything else missed?

Mint chocolate ice magic.
In fact, any mint chocolate icecream pouring sauce type stuff. It’s all “salted caramel” now - I prefer mint choc! I know i can melt proper chocolate but it is a tiny bit more hassle, and I liked the blobby ice magic lid. I got some of that “chocolate treat chunk crackin” stuff and it was vile. Probably ice magic was as well but I was only about 10 so I thought it was wonderful!

Beanfeast. Why did they get rid of it just as loads of people are turning plant based? It made a delicious bolognese.

You can still get Lilt everywhere! Almost always on offer too... I know this because when DH asks for a bottle of coke I can never bring myself to buy it because it’s so expensive so I get him Lilt ‘for a nice change’ instead Grin

They don't do they. They don't even make your pee smell!

@PainterInPeril, I remember Pacers before they were stripy! Grin

Thanks for all the tip off re Old Jamaica still being available. I’ll have a good look.

I’ve just been reading that they apparently stopped making Fuse bars because they cost so much to make they weren’t profitable. They were so nice.

SallyCinnamon3009 · 26/01/2021 19:14

Prawn cocktail wotsits. But I'm hoping that now we've had the return of prawn cocktail and salt and vinegar quavers that they could be on their way back
