@whenwhenwhen I don't know why they thought the McCrispy was a good replacement for it

Lime Angel Delight, nobody, it seems, ever liked this except me - discontinued fairly quickly. Soap and Glory stuff smells like it, and takes me right back (probably why it failed, it was unique in it's soapy taste). Most Angel Delight variations never made longevity ( I think you can still get Chocolate, Strawberry and Butterscotch) but they are a dying breed with few own label alternatives. Also, a nod to the "still orange fanta" you used to be able to get at McDonalds. Bird's Apeel from the '80s still has a place in my heart. ( a powder that you used add water to to make a luminous orange drink ). The sugar police would have you patted down for any of these mind x

I thought about the McRib for years. Then it came back and was essentially a bbq saveloy. Gutted.

Sainsburys seem to have stopped making their bacon brunch. I loved that

Those cod in parsley sauce, boil in the bag

Oh my word I thought they'd gone forever!

I also miss Greggs meat and potato pasties. They were the best!

Start cereal.
Prawn and egg mayo sub rolls M&S.

Omg yes Kellogg's Start - I still scan the cereal aisle hoping for a glimpse of that crunchy malty goodness x

Sparkleshine21 · 23/10/2023 00:17

Galaxy swirls. They were honestly my crack

TheHappiestChristmasTree · 23/10/2023 00:18

Chicken legend I agree with too.

Also, I forgot M&S did their own version of Baileys that was trifle flavour. It was unreal, but they discontinued it a few years ago 😭

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 23/10/2023 00:18

M&S used to do a pea, potato and feta “cake” which was like a fish cake. Absolutely delicious.

I love jelly tots

CityCommuter · 23/10/2023 00:25

@Cowlover89 I love jelly tots too but they're not the same since pork gelatine was removed to make them vegan friendly... Also fruit pastilles are different since they became vegan as well!

Sundaes at mcdonalds

bmrising · 23/10/2023 00:27

@SisterAgatha The McRib was so popular and sold really well when I worked at McDonald's so no idea why they got rid of it, but they again they do always seem to get rid of the best things on the menus
