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?

I think this is still around? I swear I had a can at a Wetherspoons pub last month.

OMG you are right! I tweeted them a few years ago and they confirmed it was discontinued, but from their website it looks like they've brought it back. Amazing, I'm out to get some now!

Nestle double cream chocolate. I miss it so bad, it was my favourite 😭

Peach angel delight

Anchor's chocolate flavour squirty cream. It was so good. You could just squirt it into a glass and have a super sophisticated (!) delicious chocolate mousse dessert.

Fruit polos

3/4 things on this thread I did not even know were no longer available

Tarquina · 13/04/2024 16:23

Morrisons used to have a thing called pink pepper sauce for prawn cocktail. I tried it once and it was absolutely heavenly. My eyes were rolling, it was so delicious.

A week later I went in to buy six jars of it, and discovered it had been discontinued.

My heart was broken.

My childhood breakfast right there! It was delicious and very filling!.

So much nicer than all the other mueslis. You can still get it in Spain, just as good as ever!

Iced shorties biscuit! Loved those

ForeverYellow · 13/04/2024 16:43

There was a marshmallow biscuit I loved . There were about 6 in a packet . They were rectangle , softish biscuit . On top were 2 parallel squiggles of marshmallow and coconut flakes , divided by a strip of jam . They were either pink and strawberry or peach .

I haven't seen them in the shops for a good 2/3 years.Wonder if they are old stock . I certainly wouldn't be paying £3.99 for them
