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)

Mrs Peeks Xmas pudding

M&S Swiss Pies- a little pork pie with a layer of pate.

Texan bars- so chewy and lovely.

Rancheros crips- perfect complement to a Texan bar.

Body shop used to do a facial scrub - I'm sure it was white/blue in colour and called something like Japanese scrub or something. It was great.

this chocolate sauce you put on ice cream and it solidified into a lovely crispy chocolate topping....a bit like ice on top of a mountain....think it might have been ice magic? Came in bottles shaped like mountains and nice selection of flavours.....miss it!

I remember Amazing Raisin bars, and Aztec ! Cremona foam ca still be found, but it is called Krakatoa now. There is a sweetie shop called Bains in Edinburgh that sells stuff on line.
Loved Spangles too

Sara Lee Danish. Used to be in the freezer section at Safeway when I was a teenager, and I LOVED them.

Sensi by Giorgio Armani. I have a tiny drop left in the bottom of a bottle from about 15 years ago, I can't bring myself to get rid of it.

In the early 80s M&S did a thing called Suffolk Hotpot - it was pieces of ham in a gorgeous creamy sauce, with thinly sliced potatoes on top that went crispy in the oven. My DM was a terrible cook but would buy this for dinner once a week and it was the best thing imaginable. No one else remembers it and it probably wasn't even that special but as a teenager in the 80s with a mum who couldn't cook, it was like bloody nectar.

You can still get Cadburys pretzels. Though given cadburys chocolate is shit now they're probably not the same.

I still mourn the loss of the brown milky ways. A lot of people claim not to remember them when I mention them. I'm only in my early 30s, it wasn't that long ago!

Tesco chicken tikka slice. I still miss you after over 20 years...

Ohhh you've reminded me of Sara Lee pecan danish! We loved these

And Cherry Garcia!

Benefit Georgia face powder.

Proper Matey bubble bath. It's not the same today.

So many things: The whole Prescriptives range, various Clinique products, Champneys' citrus glow shower gel, Thornton's diabetic caramel chocolates etc. etc. It's the worst thing about getting older.

I also miss Cherry Garcia frozen yoghurt. RIP.

burger king chicken flamer

starbucks ginger muffin

M and S count on us chargrilled veg wrap, I loved it.

Loved pacers 😃
I'm so glad someone remembered the name of them as I was racking my brain !!!

You can still get Gordon Morre's red toothpaste, and Bournvita hot chocolate!

Also Impulse o2 body spray. I loved that smell.

And phish food hair products did a brilliant curl spray. They're all 'salt sprays' nowadays and they make my hair really sticky but this phish food one was lovely and smelt really nice too.

Burton's Puffs

I didn't even realise Cherry Garcia was gone until this thread. Very

Laura Mercier Just Lips lipstick

Bournville Old Jamaica (Maya Gold is an expensive and subpar substitute)
Barbara Daly Powder Foundation (nothing else comes close or lasts as long)
Pyramints (nuff said)
Pret's Tuna Niçoise Sandwich - sometimes a boxed salad just isn't practical, and doesn't include granary bready goodness)

I am currently in a panic over the apparent disappearance of comfort tropical burst from the shelves of every local supermarket. (yes, I have actually looked!) Even wilko has none. I have a massive issue with smells and I have loved this one for years. All the others are vile. I have even considered paying for amazon prime and ordering a huge box of it from amazon pantry, but the bastards would probably send an 'alternative'.

I bought morrisons own brand tropical fabric conditioner in a panic. It's like buying mega bloks instead of lego.

Texan bars were revolting. Dog chocolate wrapped around a tooth pulling lump of something or other. Bleurgh.

And sweet corn relish flavor Skips.
