Megatron : if you know anyone going to South Africa you can get them to get you some. It's called Peppermint Crisp there.

Actually, you can get here at a price look what I found!

Sorry - didn't copy and past correctly: Mint Cracknell from Amazon

Bumperlicioso · 13/04/2011 09:50

God, coconut boosts must have past me by, but I do miss mint feasts :(

Btw have you seen the new chocolate and coconut Ben & jerries flavour? Yum-my!

Can't believe clinique have discontinued almost make up. Once a year on my birthday I treat myself to a new tube, and when I went two weeks ago they said it was discontinued.

CherryDrops · 13/04/2011 11:11

The newsagent over the road from my office sells mint Feasts - I didn't realise the existed until last week!

I miss M&S chocolate chip scotch pancakes. They were the best thing ever.

prettybird · 13/04/2011 11:16

Plain chocolate hobnobs.

CoffeeGoneColdAgain · 13/04/2011 13:45

gabity Tab clear was a coca cola brand I think ( I loved it too) :)

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 13/04/2011 15:12

Mexican Fajita Pot Noodles.

They were proper delicious junk and no mistakin'

Mandy2003 · 13/04/2011 16:12

Vanilla Nesquik! Several years ago the pound shop did this (think it had some Arabic writing on it) and it was well popular.

Never saw it in the supermarkets though, and when it went from the pound shop I never saw it again. I believe I contacted Nestle about it and the said it wouldn't be for sale in the UK due to "Taste Differences" WTF!

Phileas Fogg Tortilla Chips- proper chilli hot ones, they were lovely and little garlic bread things they did too(mignons morceaux(sp?). No where does anything like those. Stopped making them about 10 years ago- the new range they brought out is just the same as Doritos really[grumpy]

Gleeb · 13/04/2011 19:16

Another vote for Gold - I was brought up on that stuff and nothing else is quite the same. I think I shall sue the company for my weight gain on having to switch to butter.

Cherry Veba

Raahh - Sainsbury's do little garlic bread things like mignons morceaux. They're nomnomtastic.

givequicheachance · 13/04/2011 19:24

I'm sure you can still get Romany biscuits.

PercyPigPie · 13/04/2011 19:26

Boots cold cream. Bye bye cold cream, hello wrinkles Sad

givequicheachance · 13/04/2011 19:31

Mine is really boring but it has been nearly about 15 years and I am STILL sad and cross that they discontinued it: Does anyone remember a very basic body shop range in the early 90s - there was a face cream in a plainish white bottle, sort of coffin shaped, with a dark green pump lid? They made one for greasy skin, one for dry etc

I have never found a face cream to replace it.

buttonmooncup · 13/04/2011 19:40

Sour skittles and Dime bars are still going but Dime bars are called Daim bar now.

Sparklingblue · 13/04/2011 19:42

Cremola foam k999!!!!! I really really miss that. I looked everywhere on the Internet but I think it has gone forever

meliesmummy · 13/04/2011 19:57

I remember kp cheese dippers, yum! And does anyone remember cheese spread in a jar? (kraft) yummy on toast!

Wispa gold

Cheese and chive toaster pockets

Hollow bacon flavoured pig shaped crisps, also bacon wotsits, and crunchy fries, and does anyone remember 5p crisps? (later 6p crisps, it wasnt the same when you couldn't get 4 for your 20p....

lisianthus · 13/04/2011 20:25

Jo Malone Stephanotis Cassia Cafe perfume. I wore it at my wedding. Now discontinued. WHY???!! It was gorgeous. The warmth of the cinnamon and coffee scents meant is wasn't at all "chemical" smelling, like some of their other scents. Dammit.

LaaDeDa · 13/04/2011 20:28

M&S Pesto and pine nut pasta salad.
Cheese nic-naks.

thatsenough · 13/04/2011 20:53

God I'm hungry after reading this thread!

Mine another Body Shop one - Japenese Washing Grains.

Oh and I think you can still get Pears Soap - I'm sure the pharmacy I work in sells it.

NorksAreMessy · 13/04/2011 20:59

Oooh, yes, Japanese washing grains got me through university acne brilliantly. I now use a Boots face scrub thing but it doesn't smell nearly as nice.
I am looking for the REAL Pears soap, with about six ingredients and no inside cellophane layer. The new stuff is crapola

thatsenough · 13/04/2011 21:37

It was University years for me too. I might have to have a look for the Boots one then, Apri was my second favourite, but that has gone too.

K999 · 13/04/2011 21:43

Chelsea Whoppers....

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 13/04/2011 21:56

Ooh, loved the Japanese washing grains, in that lovely little white card shaker that got damp in the bathroom and made it all stick together.

I also remember Cosmetics to Go, it seemed very revolutionary back then, remember ordering piles of stuff and not liking very much of it. Mind you, I'm the same with Lush have about half a dozen things I love and the rest of it I hate. They have discontinued their Babyface cleanser which I am not very happy about.

Whoever mentioned Woodlea Green Shampoo, I have been buying a children's conditioner in Sainsburys that smells exactly the same, yummy.

trixymalixy · 13/04/2011 22:01

I loved Japanese washing grains too.

I saw cremola foam advertised the other day outside a retro sweet shop, so you must be able to get it.

The gap grass perfume was lovely too, wish they still did it.
