Some discontinued stuff I would love to return:

1.) Ham and cheese mini Cheddars

2.) Jaffa cakes with the lime filling

3.) And most of all Birds hot crunch pudding (banana for preference)

Anything you really miss? Food that were part of your childhood....

Pacers. They were the mint version of an opal fruit. They just vanished - albeit many, many years ago... I remember exactly what they tasted like. They were green and pale green striped. Does anyone else remember them?

Yes! Finally! No one I know recalls them. I didn't recall the name so thank you. I was very very young - about 4yo. I recall eating white and green striped opal fruit type sweets that were mint flavour. Pacers...I'll remember that!

I used to always get a box of chocolate bunnies at Easter. The chocolate was gorgeous the nicest chocolate I’ve ever had and the box was pretty too

I don’t think it was Lindt but can’t remember the make and not seen them for years

Bobby the bunny, Katie the kitten etc - Lindt

I've just googled a photo. Yes that's them! You have solved a 41 year mystery for me! Thank you

Aztec Bar, Cadbury's answer to a mars bar but soooo much better. Bigger than a mars bar too with thick cadburys chocolate.

Realeat Vegeburger mix

Was that the dry powder that you'd mix with hot water and then shape in to a crumbly horrible burger? Had so many like that. Soy mix burger... Still couldn't quite stomach Tofu though.

Quorn was out of this world when that came along!

Does that not still exist? I never look for it as I would be certain to eat the whole lot, and that wouldn't do. It was lovely!!

No they discontinued them a few years ago 😔

I'd sell my soul for a Vesta Beef Risotto!

Haha! I was just thinking how a Vesta curry was the most amazing thing we'd eaten. Ever.

I don't know why I read your original post as - I'd sell my wife for ... 🤣🤣

Cabana bars, mint Toffo's , Texan bars and KP Worcester sauce crisps.

DidYouSeeTheKey · 08/02/2024 22:08

Blitz or bitz chocolate bar. Had crunchy bits of mint in it. Think did an orange one too.

JaneIves · 08/02/2024 22:22

Another vote for Toast Toppers and Worcestershire sauce twiglets.

Do they still make mignon morceaux?

If not, bring those back too.

Mushroom toast toppers for me. Cooked to the point of almost burning.

little sweets called mojos. They were sold in big mixed flavour bags but my local corner shop used to open them out into the Penny sweet section so you could choose your flavour. Always mint for me!

5p woppa bars - bit like wham bars but cola flavour

sure I’m not making this up but no one I’ve asked remembers - there were these cheese crisps, bit like quavers but all the same shape and a bit denser in texture. They came in huge packs

My mum worked in the factory in Liverpool where they made mojos before she had me and then my gran aunty and uncle all worked there for a long while after! Used to love going in on a Friday to be made a fuss of and get copious amounts of mojos and spearmint chews to go home with! 😂

I miss phileas foggs bubble chip crisps! The New York cheese and pickle ones were the best and the Louisiana barbecue flavour a very close second. I did see something last year about Doritos bringing out a cheese and pickle flavour but nothing since.

Montana bars. Cartoonies. Citrus polos.

You can get Hello Panda biscuits from B&M which are just like Cartoonies. I was very happy when I discovered them

supadupapupascupa · 08/02/2024 22:43

Boxed lemon meringue pie. What was the brand?? You made it up yourself. Three packets, biscuit base, lemon filling and meringue top
