Another vote for Cadbury's mint crisp.

Also, body shop dewberry shower gel and impulse ID and O2.

And my favourite perfume was Gap Dream.

Knorr fajitas sauce. Small jar but was just the right mix of spice.Sad times

The old roast beef Monster Munch...not sure when they changed, but they’ve not been right since.

Oh, and strawberry Supermousses and orange Starturns!

Colmans used to do a Jambala mix - used to love that and seemed to stop making it around 12 years ago.

Not food, but I used to used Benefit - One Hot Minute. A sort of shimmery powder that I swore by. It always made me look better instantly. So sad when they stopped making that.

Burtons bacon and bean Piglets and the original Fish and Chips crisps, they are NOT the same now, just taste of salt and vinegar!

cambodianfoxhound · 27/03/2018 09:30

Also in Asia they used to sell Cadbury Dairy Milk Black Forest Gateaux - it was amazing with little crunchy bits and little chewy gummy cherry bits. Haven't seen it in ages. Do they sell it in the UK?

Purplerain101 · 27/03/2018 10:14

@Cambodian we’ve never had that in the UK but it sounds amazing!

Plumrose Ham Risotto. Coaxed out of the tin in a bright yellow tin-shaped block then slowly melted to sludgy rice in the saucepan. Looked like a bio-chemical experiment but tasted delicious.
Mint Cracknell - little shards of bright green mintiness encased in chocolate.
More recently, Walkers Sensations Thai Lime & Ginger crisps - they stopped them around 2009-10 and I still miss them.
Not food but red Close Up toothpaste, tasted like cherry menthol Tunes.

Ooh, also Sunsilk de parfum shampoo. It left your hair smelling gorgeous!

Dipitydoda · 27/03/2018 11:12

@Thehappychef and @Babyplaymat yes yes yea yes yes. To mignon morseau.

I've been hunting for them for YEARS.

Then about 3 years ago a Waitrose opened next door to my work and they did big bags of them called 'mini garlic breads' they were great I was SO happy, until one day about 6 months ago, they were out of stock... and they've never come back in 😭😭😭😭

ItMadeMyEyesWater · 27/03/2018 20:33

Coffee creams in quality street, they were so soft and runny. Showboats, chocolate cases filled with sponge, finished off with different flavoured buttercream. Blocks of chocolate filled with advocaat.....mmmmm

sueelleker · 27/03/2018 22:18

Weren't the Showboats just called Kunzle cakes?

Poundland has Brannigan's crisps.

Places like that and Home Bargains are well worth a look.
