AIBU?

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)

A chocolate covered peanut called Treats. Not sure if they were cadbury but the peanut was massive with just the right covering of chocolate and a shiny shell. Peanut m&ms took over, they are the same at all.

TGI mushroom chicken and mushrooms. If I remember rightly it was a piece of breaded chicken with sautéed mushrooms breaded mushrooms and cheese on top.

Hence the 1970s joke: 'how do you get a peanut out of your ear? Pour in some chocolate, and it comes out a Treat'.

The Body Shop used to do a range that was blue and I think called Aqua or something similar (I know that's not specific!) It smelt really fresh and lovely, was very upmarket to my teenage self Grin I can smell it now but don't remember the name and it was discontinued years ago

I still have a can of Impulse O2 and it smells like 20 years ago. I still use Impulse child of the 90s but none of them are a patch on O2

I loved a Greggs coffee chouxe, even though I don't like chocolate ones. Gutted they're no more. I also liked their chicken mango sandwiches but they don't seem to do them now, either

A pub I used to live near near Surrey Quays did a Peri Peri Chicken that was to die for. It was a massive half a chicken doused in the most delicious spicy sauce I've ever had. That and a bowl of chips - wouldn't need to eat for a good 24 hours after that.

ChiefClerk I am now imagining the smell of Impulse O2, something I have not thought of for a very long time!

I bought one bottle of No7 Instant Radiance back in about 2000. It was bloody amazing and I got several compliments on my skin which never happened before or since. The sods discontinued it immediately. I still mourn it.

Spangles, squarish boiled sweets that came in a roll like Polos. Still miss the opaque caramel coloured one

Aldi apple purée. You can get it all over the place on the continent but it's a chuffing long way to go.

Dragon instant noodles in chow mein flavour.

Waitrose garlic bread chips snacks. Like oven baked bread pieces. Just fabulous.

LagunaBubbles Oceanus! I think that's the one I'm remembering - I knew it was water related! It was lovely, I haven't found a scent quite like it

I loved the Body Shop Japanese mung bean scrub. I liked eating the grains Grin

I also miss the chicken mango sarnie from Gregg's.

You can still get Savlon liquid in random odds and sods shops.

I've just seen this on the Daily Fail Angry (led there by a google search). I know there's nothing to be done about them skimming stories from MN, but I'd like to take this opportunity to tell the 'journalists' from this vile, bigoted, offensive rag to fuck right off. Thank you.

Thorntons chocolate orange shortbread and caramel bites & M & S Minced Beef Crispbakes before they "improved" the recipe. I always find "improved" recipe means not improved!! Grin

I wish Tesco et al would stop messing with their sushi and sandwiches every year. They always change the ones I like. Ditto boots meal deals 😡
