Which would you choose? Mine would be the Cadbury Marble bar from the 90s/00s but it would need to be the original recipe as Cadbury chocolate isn’t as good anymore

Heinz cream of celery soup.

I'd forgotten all about it but now you mention it I admit I'd love.to see it back

Coconut boost
I will never forgive Cadbury’s for this outrage of discontinuing it

I'd co sign this. Loved this chocolate bar.

@BridgetRandomfuck

*No one else ever remembers these, but Batgers Chinese Figs. They were fig jellies that were available at Christmas time, I absolutely loved them as a child...

I was probably 9 when I read the name on them and realised that they weren't, as my dad asserted, made from badgers.

Didn't stop me eating them, of course!

LittleBlueBrioTrain lollipoprainbow That's made my day! Although I haven't seen them for years, not in Scotland anyway. Only ever see the orange packs.

For everyone who mentioned Toast Toppers, I mix finely chopped ham and mushrooms with a couple of tablespoons of Campbell's condensed mushroom soup. It's quite similar to the bacon and mushroom flavour.

I brought a packet of scampi and lemon nik nails today in my local spar!

According to Google they've recently been reintroduced after being discontinued in 2007. The rib n saucy (aka the king of crisps) flavour on the other hand is rarer then hens teeth to get your hands on. I believe Asda sometimes have the 6 multipack online to get but they just seem to have disappeared from everywhere else!

extramaturecheddarcheese · 18/04/2023 18:57

Chocolate Philadelphia.

I make it myself by mixing chocolate spread with Nutella but it's not the same.

afaloren · 18/04/2023 18:58

Another vote for Spira. But I also used to love 3D Doritos.

Rib n saucy are also in my local one stop!

Kunzle cakes!

This is so dull but Kelloggs All Bran cereal bars. Fab for dieting and actually tasty 😋

Why can't people face the fact that Texan bars looked amazing, had a brilliant advert, and tasted bloody awful 😂 Mind you I do miss Nutty bars.

MorrisZapp · 18/04/2023 19:03

Maple2023 · 18/04/2023 17:03

Miss brannigans beef and mustard crisps too. Properly strong they were

They were so tasty!

mac1974 · 18/04/2023 19:04

@Maple2023 & @MorrisZapp have you tried the Aldi horseradish & beef crisps. They could rival the brannigans. They are amazing.

Robinbuildsbears · 18/04/2023 19:05

Mingles, I always got to eat loads because I was the only one who liked them

MorrisZapp · 18/04/2023 19:05

Coffee flavour walnut whips from Marks and Spencer. They don't do their coffee creams any more either, bastards.

ArcaneWireless · 18/04/2023 19:06

There was a seafood pancake thing sold in our Naafi in the 90s (overseas)

I can’t remember who made it but they were delicious.

I can make seafood pancakes. But they don’t taste the same.

Puppers · 18/04/2023 19:08

Big syrup sponges in a tin. The little piddly ones in plastic cups aren’t the same at all. Totally different sponge to syrup ratio. Ditto the big Cadbury sponges in a tin.

M&S cafe used to do a hot salmon salad that was lush. If they get rid of the mushroom and emmenthal toasties too then I’ll perform a one-woman protest.

Ready salted matchsticks. I’m not actually sure if these have been discontinued but I haven’t seen them in ages.

Can still get it now and again in Heron.
Niche, but in the 90s we used to buy whole tinned satsumas, think they were Princes. My, they were lovely.

Either topic or toastie toppers

Topics have been discontinued?! ☹️

Lovegossip · 18/04/2023 19:19

There used to be a biscuit brand called "all butter biscuits" they were delicious but I've not been able to find them for years

extramaturecheddarcheese · 18/04/2023 19:19

@OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow I'm getting my coat on now!! Thanks!

AlliwantforChristmasisgu · 18/04/2023 19:21

Yes to Neapolitans. And McVities fruit club biscuits - the purple bones with raisins.
