@PinkyBlunder - white smarties were discontinued as it was pointed out they were too much like medication and therefore dangerous regarding children.

I bought cider lollies for my dc as a childhood memory of mine. Dcs underwhelmed and I didn't like them at all. Childhood me recalled them tasting much more of cider than they do now. A much stronger taste.

Spangles. Anyone remember those?

If someone could be bothered to collate a definitive list, by shop, then we could all keep a look out for each other Grin.

Also - Cadburys dream eggs - they were white chocolate parcels f deliciousness, Somerfield coronation chicken sandwiches which contained NICE coronation chicken, nice bread, green peppers, sultanas and coconut, none of that disgusting rocket or spinach they all seem to have now, and last but not least, when I was very very small my mum used to buy frozen chocolate mousse in a block, but only those of a certain age will remember that :(

I am sure I've seen the Mississippi mud pie yogurts. I'll look tomorrow when I go to Sainsbury's.

Wow this has taken me back! Gino ginelli ice cream was something I hadn't thought of for years! Along with the freaky feet yogurt.
I wish that muller would bring back the rhubarb crumble corner yogurt.

TillyMint81 · 09/05/2018 20:05

And my mum talks about fish fingers that had little chip sticks on them instead of breadcrumbs.

Coconutandcoriander · 09/05/2018 20:11

Talking of feet, I’ve just remembered that pink ice cream that was in the shape of a foot. No idea what it was called!

YearOfYouRemember · 09/05/2018 20:14

Funny feet, Coconutandcoriander.

Coconutandcoriander · 09/05/2018 20:16

Ah yes!!

raindropsandsunshine · 09/05/2018 21:05

I thought funny feet were available again?

Howyoualldoworkme · 09/05/2018 21:09

possumgoddess I remember the mousse in blocks. I think it was by Birds Eye and they made it in lemon and strawberry as well. It was so good Smile

TheMarrowOfTime · 09/05/2018 23:13

@YearOfYouRemember No, it was definitely Uncle Ben's and I think it was Provencal or something.

I thought can cadburys marble before I'd even opened this post. I bought cartoonies from Home and Bargains last week. I was so excited. I put them in my kids lunch box even though I don't usually put crap in, just for nostalgia. Do you remember Walkers crisps with Looney Tunes characters printed on?
