Oh and Bakers Boys cupcakes. They came in a box of six, either all chocolate ones or a mix of orange and lemon.

I can't quite remember what it actually was, but it tasted like a freeze-dried strawberry bar coated in yogurt from Boots in the early 90s. Does anyone else remember them?

Yes! They were lush.
I think they were low calorie (but had 2 at time so not really low calorie 🤣);

Yes to Phileas Fogg's Mignon Morceaux. Also a box of multi flavoured custards in sachets - vanilla to chocolate to rasperry that my granny used to buy when I was a kid. And the demise of Redwoods veggie offerings that were so good. Bought over by Heather Mills and rebranded as V-Bites. All available on the website but next to nowhere to be found in supermarkets anymore.

You can get some vbites stuff in our Morrisons

Sugar Puffs. Honey Puffs do not cut it!

The restaurant chain Leon changed their Love burger patty at some point during lockdown. The old one was the best ever and the new one is so disappointing :(

Loubelle70 · 23/10/2023 08:42

Small tin of Tuna and ratatouille with crackers. It had ring pull. I used to buy them her for school trip packed lunch.

Oh, yes, mint cracknel, that was wonderful! Also mint Aero from around the same time, though not in the same league.

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 . . !)

So many things….
Baked bean pizzas
Heinz frozen thing with beans and sausage with layered potato on top…I used to melt cheese onto it!
M&S cheese and onion sandwich with tomato and lettuce circa 1988.
Boots shapers flatbread with feta and a minty dressing with salad
M&S meatballs with cubed potatoes…think it was from one of the posher ranges.
M&S lemon and black pepper breaded chicken fillets.
ALL the carbs 😂

Golden Wonder Curry crisps and Creamola Foam.

Golden wonder curry crisps could be found in a mixed flavour multipack on the small store in cannich near Inverness this summer

Heinz used to do baked beans with little vegetarian sausages in. Haven't seen those for years and years (don't live in the UK, but look every time I go).

Actually, vegetarian sausages that contain actual vegetables as opposed to being made of fake meat seem to be dying out.

They still do them. I have a tin in my cupboard.

Lucozade back in the early 90s before they changed the recipe! Now it’s absolutely awful
