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)

Loads of weight watchers joined food heaven in the sky. I loved the weight watchers pizzas and the veggie pasta meals.

I also miss the veggie whopper. The traditional one that was more like a patty then the vegetable filled burger thing.

I don't miss it, but do you remember the timotai shampoo that was kinda separated? Like one colour at the bottom and a different one at the top?

Dayvilles ice cream with a whopping 31 flavours with exciting names like rocky road. Nobody believed me when I told them back at school. All our local ice cream shops just had vanilla, strawberry, chocolate and run n raisin

32 flavours but my fingers are too fat to type

OP I discovered this today in my local Thorntons. I scoured the shelves for ages before the sales assistant said they are discontinued. My favourite treat as a child, and every so often I'd have one to take me back in time! Gutted!!

I missed this thread as had just had baby ds so had no idea Shock

Lidl's vanilla crowns. Much better than other supermarkets and only 39p.

Aveda Iatiku purefume.
I can't find anyone in an Aveda shop who remembers it and I can't find anything that smells like it.

70s Special K before they reformulated it and made it horrible.

I'm still mourning Fry's Orange Creme.

DAYVILLES!!! Yes!!

There was one where I grew up and omg it was HEAVEN. I still miss daiquiri ice and it's been over 35 years.

I'm sure there was no alcohol in it but still, I don't think my parents knew what daiquiri is.

I was also quite partial to the fresh peach and the bubblebum varieties.

alpacawhacker · 08/08/2017 21:01

Er... bubblegum!

Write letters, people, or tweet, or social media!

Parks stopped making their aromatherapy candles about a year ago, so I stockpiled from eBay, brand alley etc. Apparently enough people similarly 'panic bought' that they have brought the most searched-for ones back.

Gutted that these have been discontinued.

Those potato Oven Crunchies things. They must have all been made in a giant factory somewhere, as all the supermarkets stopped them at the same time.
Romantica ice cream cake.

Jins there used to be Dayvilles shop in New Street in Birmingham in the 70s and 80s.

bimbobaggins · 08/08/2017 21:06

Coconut boosts , although it was so long ago I'm wondering if I just imagined them.

Also Estée Lauder loose powder!

Malted icecream (think it was M&S)
'Gap' fragrance - Grass
L'Oreal Frequence shampoo - which also smelt of freshly cut grass
Elizabeth Arden chunky eye kohl in 'Skipper Blue' - It was exactly the colour of blue eye drops and when put on the inner rim/water line made eyes of any colour look SO bright and the whites really white - Didn't notice the actual blue at all.
Pretty Peach bubble bath by Avon - can still smell it now.

Why are all (bar one) of the above beauty products?!

Wattonearth · 08/08/2017 21:09

Crinkly mini cheddars in original flavour...
I know they do the crinkly's in salt and vinegar or cheese and onion but I so crave the original flavour ones.... why oh why didn't they have to stop!
