Discontinued foods you still think about

[bmrising]

Mine is McDonald's Breakfast Wrap & the Chicken Legend 🥲 still think about those a lot!

Trio chocolate biscuit bars (remember the ad!!!)

TRIO!!!!!!!!!!! TTRIIIIIIIO! 🎶

Lilt is now Fanta Pineapple and Grapefruit @wizzbitt. I think it's a fair substitution. I used to be addicted to Lilt Zero cans and you couldn't find it for ages. Really poor supply problems apparently.

I prefer cans to bottles and I've only found the Fanta Pineapple and Grapefruit in bottles so far

Brilliant. Thanks so much ✌🏿

I used to like Lilt. I now drink Ting - not the same as it’s grapefruit flavour rather than pineapple/grapefruit but not a bad substitute. It’s originally from the Caribbean but you’ve been able to get it in the UK for some while now.

Brands often take the opportunity to reduce the sugar/salt/fat content if they’re switching from veggie to vegan or just (as is often the case) changing up their branding. So they take out the stuff that makes it taste good & then everyone thinks the veganity is to blame 🥺😢 Infuriating all round.

M&S chicken tikka sandwich - my lunch for my 20s

McDonald's breakfast wraps
Cadburys wildlife bars - when the wrapper had animal facts and the chocolate had animal shapes
Freschetta pizzas - no longer in the UK
Cadburys spiras
Potato puff crisps

Haha made me chuckle. I used to do this with DD when she was younger 'mum can i have bar chocolate' ' no get a banana ' 😂

Sweet tobacco 😁 (70s) they still make it but not the same.
It looked like tobacco .' thick pieces of shredded coconut generously coated with sugar and cocoa powder'

Irn Bru bars 🤤

😂 i remember...the thin paper was impossible to remove at times. Imagine if that was acceptable today...pk chocolate cigarettes 😂

Yes! I still find it by weight in sweet shops with jars but I really want it in the waxed packets that had a pirate ship on, Spanish Gold?

I saw latte matchmakers in b&m this week

Gino ginelli tutti frutti ice cream
Lucky charms
Jaw breakers
The blue penny sweet that tasted of raspberry.

M&S chicken lattice. Totally worth the indigestion afterwards.

Toffee crunch sweets. Proper toffee crunch, not the nonsense sold by some online sweet shops.

Boots used to do a flatbread wrap thing with chicken in some sort of gloopy sauce in the late 90s (and probably after then, too). That, and a Flyte bar, were a perfect lunch back in the day.

M&S used to sell a pre-chopped salad that was lovely - just iceberg lettuce, peppers, carrot, onion...no dressing or anything fancy. All chopped to the perfect size to be tipped onto a plate and eaten with a fork. I miss that.

Toffee Crumble…

@SheriffofRottingham
It may partly be because as well as the potential for triggering the Proustian Madeline effect; it’s a thread where posters are playing nicely together. Nobody’s saying anyone’s late lamented foods are/were disgusting (etc); people are advising each other as to where foods thought vanished can be procured; & posters are commiserating over losses - & the way that M&S apparently exists only to torment us by routinely ripping away our comestibles of choice. (Well, that & be a reliable provider of pants & pyjamas.)
