many lovely things have been discontinued that I really enjoyed growing up, Burton's potato puffs, the original Ringos crisps as they were in the 80s & early 90s. Topic bars, Riva chocolate bars. plus many many more
what do you really miss that they no longer make?

Brannigans Roast Beef & Mustard crisps.

MissBattleaxe · 12/04/2024 22:52

Toffo, especially the assorted ones. In the 80s, Sainsburys did these things called breakfast slices, a cross between bacon and a sort of grilled salami. They were delicious.

Burts used to do pesto flavoured crisps. They were AMAZING. I'm pretty sure they've been discontinued Sad

Toffos!!! Good God, I loved those.

Cheese Moments made by the Scampi Fries brand.

Bring back ham & mustard Branigan’s crisps. Also Cadbury’s Spira bars.

Steelasprey · 12/04/2024 23:01

Phileas Fogg cheese Chicettas - discontinued since the 90s but I can still remember their flavour - best snack ever, never improved upon

Quattro - green fizzy drink. In my recollection, it wasn't too sweet - which I find most non-alcoholic drinks to be.

Haagan Daaz vanilla ice-cream with chocolate syrup running through it.

Dark chocolate Mars Bar ice creams.

M&S (& Waitrose) Choc Truffle Dipping Sauce - they both only go their salted caramel one now. Used to be perfect to take out on a hot day for a picnic - you actually wanted it to get warm so it went runny. Then you dipped strawberries into it.

Pascalls Fruit Bonbons from Woolies pick and mix. Boiled sweets with a soft centre. I loved them as a kid!

Hermittrismegistus · 12/04/2024 23:07

Knorr micro noodles- chicken flavour.

I was so sad when they were discountinued. There isn't anything similar on the market. Sad

R Whites raspberry lemonade. It was so delicious. Discontinued a few years ago, much to our family's distress.

Milkyway crispy rolls

Have they discontinued these? I used to always buy them from my local coop, but come to think of it the last packet I bought was a few months ago. I hope they haven't gone!

OmniPresents · 12/04/2024 23:18

Phileas Fogg Mignons morceaux

Probably spelled that wrong 😑

Also Texas bars and plain chocolate bountys

apricotdreams · 12/04/2024 23:21

Toast toppers
Tomato snaps

xsquared · 12/04/2024 23:22

Proper lemon puffs with the caramelised sugar on top. I bought a couple of packets months ago in Home Bargains of all places, but they were small, lemon middle was thin and not very lemony and the biscuit used to sandwich the lemon cream were more like Ritz crackers.

Custard donuts with a decent custard to dough ratio. Today's custard donuts are too stingy with the custard. Gregg's do a decent caramel iced one, but I just want a plain one with custard in the middle.

Jalapeno flavoured Kettle Chips. Pipers Jalapeno and Dill will have to do for now, but doesn't come close.
