To be heartbroken at yet ANOTHER fave product being discontinued?

[InMemoryOfSleep]

I have just discovered Thorntons have discontinued their strawberry fondant chocolate pigs, and I am quite frankly devastated. These have been my fave little treat since I was about 12, and now they are no more!

It's the latest in a long line of favourite products being discontinued - does anyone else get unreasonably irritated by this?! I'll start a list, feel free to add to it...

• Thorntons strawberry fondant pigs (sob)
• Benefit 'So Hooked on Carmella' perfume
• Lush Aqua Mirabilis (my thighs will never be the same again)

Bacon chopsticks crisps in the horizontal packet that looked like a newspaper. Always got a packet from the vending machine after swimming. Happy days.

Crabtree & Evelyn's Lily (of the valley) range

Ice Breaker chocolate bar (it was minty).

Crusha fizzy pop. Advertised by the cartoon polar bear in sunglasses.

I've thought of another one - Gap Dream, it was a lush perfume that Gap did - they had small silver spray bottles. It looks like it's still sold in America but I haven't dared buy any as it's expensive and might not smell the same.

@TheCutOfYourJib you can get Clinique Wrappings from Harrods still, and they'll let you order it online.

also --
Cadbury's Dipped Flake (so much better than the Galaxy ripple one)
Ben and Jerry's Coffee Coffee Buzz Buzz Buzz - a strong coffee ice cream with chunks of coffee flavoured chocolate . I don't think it really ever took off in the UK but it was lovely.
English Provender grated horseradish in a jar, not horseradish sauce, (recently discontinued, Company said it was because Tesco and Waitrose decided to stop stocking it. Tossers.) Good hot horseradish flavour and NO vinegar or sugar.

Also, Prescriptives makeup is available on line in the US.

It's recent bit I'm still mourning the loss of creme eggs made with dairy milk chocolate, not the rubbish normal (cardboard tasting) Cadburys choc they're dishing out nowadays.

Flex Hair conditioner by Revlon - the smell was beautiful and the colour and consistency was like egg nog

Tendre Poison perfume - bought a half full bottle on eBay and dd said it reminded her of her childhood when I wore it all the time

Another favourite perfume Belle d'Opium

Texan chocolate bars

Cadburys Fruit'n'Nut when it still tasted like it should

Jeans before Lycra - I need rigid denim that holds everything in not jeans that follow the flab curves. And whilst I'm having a moan I miss denim that fades nicely too.

Opium Summer perfume

Yes to Toffos, Fuse bars, Cabanas, Treets, Milk Tray bars with individual flavour segments

Bandit bars, Pacers or Opal Mints as originally called; Top Deck Lime and Lager; Cresta pop (Its frothy man)

More recently I've mourned Sirrus cider and WKD Apple cider, black forest gateau and Old Jamaica. Can you still get Jelly Tots - havent seen any for years

For me it's

Cadburys spiral

Flyte bar (which is essentially the original milky way)

And Mathers Black Beer.

Yes sparkly can still get jelly tots

Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia ice cream not the pale imitation yogurt. I have to scoff a ton when I visit my sister in the states.

Rimmel Black Cherries lipstick

Laura Ashley L'eau perfume :( gutted it was divine

When I was young I used to love a brand of crisps that I think were called potato puffs. Thin little tubes. I miss those

Eat de Gucci
Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Rosa Magnifica
Bourjois Cil a Cil Mascara. Nothing has ever come close.
Harmony Hair colour
British Home Stores Irish Stew. I ad food poisoning when I was little and it was allI would eat for months.
Snowflakes
Aeros with the white middle
Cadbury's white buttons
Bourjois Rouge Bordeaux lipstick and nail varnish

It's been nearly a decade but I'm still mourning the discontinuation of Maybelline pure mineral foundation.
It was incredible, it gave full coverage but was light and made my skin look amazing.
I have great skin but uneven skin tone, so I want a full colour coverage but without a heavy layer of makeup.
L'oriel true match mineral foundation is similar but nowhere near as good.

I bet I win for ones people don't remember:

Coffee Crisp (no not toffee, but coffee)
Portello
No. 10 drops

Anyone remember any of these? Discontinued in the early 60s. I am very old.

It is so sad to know we will never taste all these things ever again.

Gheetas Pineapple chutney. Lots of spices in it and just gorgeous.

Penhaligans violetta perfume. I have about 3 ml left just to sniff occasionally

Buff puff facial sponge - slightly adhesive but made your skin so soft

Tarty I didn't know what it was called but I always chose that in the cinema and was really disappointed when it disappeared. I checked every time for a while because I thought maybe they just didn't have any or something

Excellence 'Light Copper Mahogany' hair colourant.
Quality Street coffee creams, and lime barrels.
Coffee crisp.
Yardley long-lasting lipsticks.
The original No 7 mascara.

So many, but mainly:
Aldi's frozen Prawn En Croute thingies.
Bachelors Mushroom & Wine flavour Pasta 'n Sauce
Blackcurrant flavour Tunes
Jo Malone's Sweet Lime & Cedar perfume
