Turkey twizzlers

IanRushesInadequateFlushes · 25/03/2018 13:13
  • Ice magic
  • I never got to try one - those birds puddings with a hot creamy bit and then a crunchy topping (there was a lemon one I used to beg my mum for, to no avail!)
  • cadbury's cola and salty pretzel bar
Creambun2 · 25/03/2018 13:16

Why did bird's stop those hot crunch puddings? They seemed very popular my mum liked them as they were "quick"!

Since some have you have been mentioning bath products, do you remember these fruit soaps from The Body Shop? And they also sold bath pearls and a squidgy soap

To who ever said cremola foam, you can now get krakatoa foam.

Salt and vinegar highlanders crisps. Can get them in multipacks but don't like othet flavours.

Mint 3 musketeers. Loved them!

PinkyBlunder · 25/03/2018 13:23

Yes, when you could go into The Body Shop and pick a box and fill it up with fruit soaps and bath pearls. I miss bath pearls...

We must be around the same age OP Smile

Prawn cocktail quavers and my memory might be messing with me but I'm sure there were prawn cocktail wotsits at one point!!!

Desmondo2016 · 25/03/2018 13:26

Cream and cheesy nik naks and Cadbury spiras.

Purplerain101 · 25/03/2018 13:27

I was also missing cartoonies til I discovered them in Farmfoods - I go in there now purely for crates of proper irn bru and cartoonies! I really wish Cadbury would bring back Spiras, no other bar of chocolate can withstand being dunked in tea like they could!

coffeeX10 · 25/03/2018 13:49

I am pregnant and craving Banana Bubbles cereal so bad, like coco pops but banana flavour “banana bubbles, banana bubbles, the cereal that thinks it’s a milkshake”

Also miss creme eggs when they were made with dairy milk instead of the cheaper substitute chocolate theyve used since they sold the company :(

Liskee · 25/03/2018 13:53

Miracle Whip. I know this thread has mostly gone down a chocolate/sweet/crisp route, but for me it would be a mayo type product!

JAPAB · 25/03/2018 13:55

I can think of some Ben and Jerry's I'd like to see back. Cherry Garcia and Winter Wonderland.

Glumglowworm · 25/03/2018 13:56

lazarusb Yes craze bars! I only remember them being around briefly but I loved them
