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

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

Don't AngryGrin
I saw the label on the shelf last week, rummaged and not a packet to be found
I will find them!

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.

Texans just felt like a bit of a chore to eat.

Toffee crunch hardboiled sweets. They were utterly gorgeous. A perfect wet Saturday afternoon, circa 1984, was lying on my bed, wearing leg warmers and possibly also my deely-boppers whilst reading a Laura Ingalls Wilder book and working my way through a quarter of toffee crunch

(I know there are places online that claim to sell it, but it isn't the toffee crunch.)

Does it taste the same? (🤞🏼). Someone gave me a tub of something (modern) but it was a disappointment.

It sent me straight to my liver salts. My second fizzy drink of choice as a kid 🫣. In between the juice lorry coming.

huh. I remember piglets! I also remember fruit crisps which were not such a triumph …

Yes it tastes the same to me! Although I think my tastes may have changed because I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would.

New Zealand product "Jay Bees" jelly beans. Amazing things.

There was some kind of processed pork chop around in the 2000’s that I LOVED, I’ve searched all over but I can’t figure out what it is so I assume they no longer make them😭 It was a reddish-brown colour, shaped sort of like a foot and had indents in the top to make it look like it had been grilled. Probably Birdseye or similar, it was the food of the gods.

Is this not a king rib?

Midnight mint choc ices, Fry's five centres, Amazin Raisin bars and Good Life nut cutlet things (not sure if the latter have actually been discontinued but it's so long since I've been able to find them that they might as well have been)

LindorDoubleChoc · 18/04/2023 19:57

@Lovegossip - try these instead, they are delish. I get mine from Sainsbury's but Google tells me Tesco and Ocado do them too petite beurre

MrsColinRobinson · 18/04/2023 19:58

Roses cherry creams, Pyramint, Spiras, peach flavoured Instant Whip

Spanish tobacco or lucky tatties

ArcaneWireless · 18/04/2023 20:01

Thank you MeinKraft

I’ll give it a go. I have fashioned a version that to me tastes similar but involves a lot of fannying and a very very exacting mixture of ship bought juice, fruit and bits.

I probably fannied that much that my poor frazzly brain tells me it tastes the same but it actually tastes rubbish to anyone with a tastebud.

Nutty bar. 😪

ArcaneWireless · 18/04/2023 20:01

Shop not ship.

Greenbeanmcgee · 18/04/2023 20:03

I've narrowed it down. I'd bring back McDonald's toffee sundaes. I'm still not over them being discontinued.

Agreed. And the hot fudge 😫

Cadbury fuse and tootie frootie's for me.
Think I am too young to remember a cabana bar but they sound amazing!
