To be heartbroken at yet ANOTHER fave product being discontinued?

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)

Mine were years and years ago and concerned chocolate mostly loll

Cabana bars , Banjo bars and Texans . Loved them . . they stopped producing them Sad

Going back to late 70s/early 80s I loved Amazin' Raisin bars (although nobody remembers them) and Milk Tray Bars (which was individual chocolates attached together in a bar form) - pics as proof Grin

In the 80s I used to wear Orlane powdered lipstick which came in cute compact with a little application wand - it was fab and I've never got over the fact it went for good Sad

Worcester sauce twiglets.

I will never stop mourning that loss Sad

I've emailed them a few times asking if they will bring them back, sadly not.

Prep meatball hot wrap!

I still yearn for a can of Tab Clear Sad

londonrach · 05/03/2017 10:11

Loved fuse bars too

Flisstizzy · 05/03/2017 10:15

Heinz tangy tomato relish. Nothing else comes anywhere near close Sad

Does anyone remember Hot Crunch Pudding? It was lemon flavour and bloody lovely.

PollyCazaletWannabe · 05/03/2017 10:16

Walkers lamb and mint sensations :(

ChatEnOeuf · 05/03/2017 10:17

Also loved Maverick bars

And Lush's Bathos bubble bar - still not forgiven them for that one.

My local family pub used to do the most amazing fajita dishes and stopped them Sad I actually wrote to customer services to say they'd lost my custom once per week as a result Grin surely it would be a popular dish?!

IvyLeagueUnderTheSea · 05/03/2017 10:18

Along with bournvita hot chocolate the actual bournvita bar. That was lovely.

ShowMePotatoSalad · 05/03/2017 10:19

My favourite Chanel lipstick was discontinued. Can't remember the name of it now but it was a perfect pink colour. I got over it after they released the new shades though.

I still yearn for a can of Tab Clear

We had a goldfish called Tab after Pepsi left us for the bowl in the sky.

I still miss Pacers - they were like minty Starburst (Opal Fruits as was) and had green/white stripes.

VintagePerfumista · 05/03/2017 10:19

LemonRedwood The chocolate Lovely!

They were amazing- me and my Mum used to treat ourselves on a Saturday.

I will contribute the Mint Cracknell chocolate bar, and the Midnight Mint choc ice which had an owl on the front.

VintagePerfumista · 05/03/2017 10:20

Neapolitans! Had a box every Christmas.

(this is clearly going to be a thread I keep exclaiming on)

BewtySkoolDropowt · 05/03/2017 10:20

I remember hot crunch pudding! It also came in banana and chocolate flavours, chocolate was my favourite.

I's like to see the mixed flavour toffos and spangles and lemonade sparkles be resurrected.

InMemoryOfSleep · 05/03/2017 10:21

@LlamaDrama yes - I used to love the chocolate one! Also I've just remembered another one - Pyramints! I'm making myself hungry reading this thread...

Yardley 2 in 1 foundation. Came in a lovely compact and was just the right colour.

All the chocolate mentioned above.

nobullshitallowed · 05/03/2017 10:21

Echo bars and cadburys pretzels 😩

BewtySkoolDropowt · 05/03/2017 10:21

I've mentioned this before on here too, quality street's peanut cracknell was my favourite. Sadly missed.

Snugglepalace · 05/03/2017 10:23

I never got over the loss of Horlicks tablets, loved them.

and yes, chocolate lovelies, my absolute fav as a child.

ExcuseMyEyebrows · 05/03/2017 10:23

Cremola Foam
Texan bars
Savlon liquid (much nicer smell than dettol)

ExcuseMyEyebrows · 05/03/2017 10:25

Gordon Moore's toothpaste (bright red and stained your gums so teeth looked really white)
