White chocolate maltesers.

Especially since they had the audacity to bring out dark chocolate ones earlier this year. Who the heck wants those?!?!

There was an ice lolly from my childhood I think about ridiculously frequently. It was bright blue, cylindrical, with hundreds and thousands on the top third (like a Fab) and super sour. I swear it was called a Wonka lolly but I’ve never been able to find a trace of it online! It haunts my dreams….

You're definitely better remembering cremola foam in your childhood memories. I bought from a retro sweet shop a small tin £5.... It was bloody awful.

Ah, I’m so disappointed!

Yes to Macintosh red apples. They were the best!
Loved Cremola Foam as a child.
I loved M&S chicken lattice.

McDonalds caramel sundae.

McDonald’s Canada had these last summer. I live in hope they will be brought back over here.

Onken yoghurts shaped like a UFO with a little toy in the middle !

Ivesaidenough · 23/10/2023 00:38

Baked bean flavour crisps in the shape of pigs. Think they were called Piglets?

TheSilentSister · 23/10/2023 00:38

Brannigans - Roast Beef & Mustard crisps - I dream about them. They were the ultimate crisp and I used to buy a box at a time.

winowin · 23/10/2023 00:39

Always about the toast toppers

TooOldForThisNonsense · 23/10/2023 00:42

Fruit gums/pastilles (am aware you can still get them but they are shit now)
plain chipsticks

WheezeAJollyGoodFellow · 23/10/2023 00:42

Quatro - the fizzy drink that was pineapple, grapefruit, mango and something else... divine!
Pacers
Toffos (the chocolate ones not the shite banana ones)
Batchelors supernoodles Thai flavour. I LIVED on them then they made them "low fat" = shite
Buttermilk tea .... just started loving it then they stopped. Was like worthers toffee in cal-free drink form
Spangles - but fruit Halls sweets taste like these

NewtonPulsifer · 23/10/2023 00:42

Pacers - green and white chewy mints

Quirks - pastel shell chocolates like Smarties

Asda used to make a delicious salmon and broccoli fish cakes.

Safeway’s Nutty Bun Loaf. It was a sweet bread with dried fruit, icing and then topped with toasted flakes almonds.
The closest I have come to something similar is Paul Hollywood’s Sally Lunn bake, but I am not a good baker, and would need to add the almonds. I miss being able to buy that loaf, slathering it in cold butter that iou can see your teethmarks in when you take a bite 😋

Moominprincess · 23/10/2023 00:43

Green cream soda, from the visiting pop van man. The current overly sweet, clear stuff is dreadful.

winowin · 23/10/2023 00:48

@CallieQ you can still buy crispie pancakes. Yummy in a sandwich

NewtonPulsifer · 23/10/2023 00:49

Also adding an old fashioned cherryade. None of this faux flavour with horrid sweeteners.
