Milky Way Crispy Rolls
Mars Planets
Calippo Shots
Toffos

I'm really quite furious about all of these. Arseholes!

The crispy rolls are back at either home bargains or B&M 😀

Aqua libre drink. I miss it 😭
Cabana chocolate bar
Quatro drink

M&S used to do a smoked ham & egg mayo in a seeded sub roll in the 90s. Absolutely delicious. I still give the sandwich aisle the once over to see if it’s back 😢

Ben & Jerry's Chubby Hubby ice cream - can't get it in the UK anymore.

A really thick milkshake powder you could get from Sainsbury's when I was a kid.

I remember that milkshake! It was bloody lovely 😋

Been said already, but McRib, Golden Grahams and McDonald’s toffee sundae.
also, Sara Lee apple Danish, although I remember it being more cake-y than google images is suggesting.
but mostly Golden Grahams. The cinnamon version just isn’t the same.

Ben and Jerrys Cherry Garcia ice cream

AutumnColour89 · 23/10/2023 11:55

So many come to mind!

Fizzy Jerks- tubes hard sweets shaped like bottle tops in different fizzy flavours

The original Walker's Sensations flavours- included lamb and mint

McDonald's Chicken Premiere- the herby roll and double sauce treat

McDonald's strawberry sundae- the really strawberry pieces in the sauce

McDonald's breakfast bagels- a casualty of lockdown. I can't eat a McMuffin now without feeling disappointed.

M&S Bang Bang Satay dip- only just discovered when it was cruelly taken away

M&S chicken and no mayo sandwich- I love mayo, but the fake mayo here was yoghurt with lemon and black pepper. At 230 calories I credit it with helping me keep in reasonable shape back then

M&S Marmite hot cross buns- sticky, savoury, heaven larded with butter

Wetherspoon Gourmet Burgers- a beef on with Stilton and spring onion sauce, a fried chicken one with spicy pepper Jack sauce. Onion rings, bacon, the works

Fundus macaroni cheese, none of the microwave ones have ever lived up to it. Had a lovely crumbly topping as well. Maybe I can still get it I'm not sure!

bmrising · 23/10/2023 12:18

@Nowifi Omg yes! I remember that

Waitrose still do Cranks bread!

but M&S raisin and bran muffins disappeared never to be seen again - bereft!! (that's English muffins - not those glorified fairy cakes now sold as muffins!)

Chicken legend
Start cereal
Lime doritos

Come back!!!

@TheHappiestChristmasTree - we have a Macintosh apple tree in the garden, sadly a poor crop this year. 🍎

Mr Kipling Millionaires shortbread - we always had a selection of Mr Kipling cakes for Sunday tea at my grandparents.
They came in a box of 6 but there were 7 kids (siblings, cousins and I) I was the eldest girl, and had to "set a good example" 🙄. . so I nearly always got stuck with a sickly French fancy instead 

I couldn't wait to be old enough to buy a whole box just for myself.
Then suddenly- gone!
I Can't understand why they discontinued them. They were the best ones by far.

(And no other caramel shortbreads taste quite the same - I've tried them ALL . . !)

After extensive research on the subject 🤣 I can say that Gregg’s MS is surprisingly fabulous.

M&S dolce de leche eclairs & Harvest white chocolate chewee bars

I have never recovered from the loss of Galaxy Bites. I will be forever in mourning.

twointhemorning · 23/10/2023 13:22

Wagamama Chicken Tama Rice.

Also Birds Eye used to do Sweet Chilli Prawns - a bag of frozen prawns in sweet chilli sauce that you baked in the oven. I loved this.

Loubelle70 · 23/10/2023 13:25

@PinkyDinkyDoodle omg horlicks tablets! I forgot about those

Loubelle70 · 23/10/2023 13:27

Tin heinz macaroni cheese (90s version). They changed recipe and it was awful after that.

Nowifi · 23/10/2023 13:52

Pizza flavour Pringles too they were amazing!

AutumnColour89 · 23/10/2023 13:55

Greggs steak and cheese rolls- looked like a sausage roll but with slow cooked beef and blue cheese in.

Got rid of them to make room for the vegan sausage rolls apparently...

bmrising · 23/10/2023 14:02

@Nowifi I saw those last week on holiday but didn't pick them up!

I once ate something called a "doughnut burger" in a popular chain pub. It was a sugar doughnut cut in half, with a burger inside. At the time I had a terrible hangover and it felt like heaven. A few weeks later the pub changed their menu and it was discontinued. I have never forgotten the joy of the doughnut burger, and I have never seen one on a menu since

The burger chain, Bread meets bread have doughnut burgers!

DoughnutDreams · 23/10/2023 14:24

M&S used to do a cardamom flavoured chocolate bar. I haven't seen it for years but still look, just in case.

DilemmaDelilah · 23/10/2023 15:21

Gateway used to do a really great (if you like it) Coronation Chicken sandwich, packed full of proper lettuce, green pepper, coconut, sultanas and, of course, coronation chicken. If you can find a coronation chicken sandwich now it has spinach in it, which I loath, and rarely sultanas.
