@PlumFairies yes! Kwik Save. Those wheel shaped crisps with a squirrel on them!
Frozen dinners like fish and chips or steaklet and chips. Each bit in a little part of the tray.
Their baked beans came top in a national taste test once .

Skips!! Haven’t had them for at least 20 years I’d say

Hmmm

Well they're still going strong and I say this as someone else that knows you have your decades confused.

It's odd, but it's okay.

Banana splits in a restaurant

We went to a local ice cream parlour and I ordered banana split for dw as she'd not had one in years.
When it arrived it was served on a round plate.. that's just wrong.

McDonald's ice-cream sundaes! I was randomly thinking about them the other day. They had hot fudge, strawberry, and toffee ones, and it was just the ice-cream and the sauce.

The hot fudge and strawberry ones disappeared first and the toffee one lingered for ages, until they got rid of those too. Bastards.

What's wrong with you lot, are you all unable to imagine that time existed before the nineties ? And so did all of these foods, Yes, all of them. You are all so confused , or just lacking in self awareness.

Learn to read. Op asked what food did people enjoy eating in the 90s/00s not what food first appeared on shelves in the 90s/00s
