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

Is it only me who misses Peanut Treets - I know it was a long time ago. M&Ms aren't the same!

Yellow packet. God, I loved those so much.

Worcestershire sauce twiglets were the absolute best!!

MotherOfUnicorns4 · 19/04/2023 21:18

Dark chocolate Mars bars. I'd love one of those right now!

Barmouth biscuits. They were flat and round and golden. In consistency they were a bit (little bit) like brandy snaps. Totally gorgeous.

I was just going to say these, they were delicious.

Also Ben and Jerry’s rainforest crunch. Best ice cream ever.

I’ve read through all 400+ posts and was sad to see no one else misses mint toffos. They were the best.
There was an ice pop when I was growing up called a JR. So good. Disappeared off the face of the earth.
Also mint choc ices. The light texture of the chocolate was over and above anything Magnum will ever do.
Most things on this thread I have never heard of though. Spira? Passed me right by. I hope a marketing bod from Cadbury’s is reading this.

M&S used to do a wild rice and lentil salad that I loved, I think about it often and mourn its loss! It was so garlicky.

DRS1970 · 19/04/2023 22:08

Aztec bars.

Salt and pepper Pringles

Blueberrycreampie · 19/04/2023 22:48

@userxx I know! It's great to know there's someone else out there who remembers them!

The cheap raspberry and strawberry mousses you used to get in freezer shops like Bejam, there would be about 8 of them stacked in a plastic tube. The bottom of the mousse tub was shaped like a blancmange. Might have been Birds Eye

I'm not sure but were they Findus?

Haven’t read the whole thread but definitely some in here I would love to see back like Treets, Pacers, Scampi n’ Lemon Nik Naks, Worcester Sauce twiglets. Not sure if the below have been mentioned but would love to see the following come back…

Sara Lee Pecan Coffee cake
Wickers Prawn Cocktail Crisps, lattice corn snacks thing.
Sweetcorn relish Skips, tasted better than they sound.
Heinz potato salad
Birdseye Supermousse
Bassets or Pascall fruit bon bons

Sorry, I know the OP only asked for one!

Londongent · 19/04/2023 23:53

Also whilst I remember Kettle chips used to do BBQ Mesquite flavour. They should bring those back, and they had a much harder crunch than today’s Kettle chips

Northernsouloldies · 20/04/2023 01:02

MB chocolate bars. Proper ones not the knockoff retro ones.

If we're also doing drinks I'll have an orange Reef, a Metz, and a watermelon Bacardi Breezer. Was there a coconut one or is that my imagination?

And a Smirnoff Moscow Mule in the gold bottle

@cocksstrideintheevening I loved that marks and spencer chicken tikka sandwich. Had forgotten about that!

milafawny · 20/04/2023 08:44

knorr "sizzle and serve" thai green curry sauce.

I miss it so much and have tried 100's of alternatives so a quick after work meal and none live up to it.

Full fat Lucozade
