I love having this conversation with colleagues and I'm always really intrigued by answers.

For me it would be the Spira. They were just beautiful.

I love reading through Wiki for old crisp flavours and stuff like that. I don't get out much as you can tell Grin

You can still get cheese and onion square crisps. Sold singly in spar and I think asda do multipacks.

I fear real soft drinks will be on this list too
Shite chemical ridden diet crap ffs

Wimpy still exists! I'm a regular! Lol

Fuse bars were amazing.

I have a weird memory of Tab Cola and feel a fondness for it, but it may have been vile I don't know! I was a teenager maybe it was trendy?

@RunMummyRun68 We have Wimpy in town, I never ever go in. I last went in during the early 90's!

The Frys Cream Chocolate Bar with the five fruit centres. Want to eat one again SO badly. And the Boots Flyte chocolate bar. Loved them. Also Bitsa Pizza crisps...

I thought wimpy was long gone! Amazed they are still around!

NotAnotherNoughtiesTune · 05/04/2018 21:43

Mustard and ham crisps.

They came in a greyish brown packet if I remember and it was around 2000-2002 I had them lots. When Dad picked up drinks from the off licence they used to buy me a few packs.

I mastered the skill of having a packet without drinking - it was my party trick!

They tasted lovely.

Texicanos. Delicious chilli flavoured proper spicy traditional nachos that came in a personal sized bag. Last seen estimated 95 or so? No one else but my best friend and I seem to remember them. Sad

Also, Caburys Top Deck bar.

Loonoon · 05/04/2018 21:50

This has brought back lots of lovely memories (>Nutty bars, Old English spangles, the montelimar chocolates in the Weekend boxes) but the one thing I would most like to bring back would be the M&S chicken tikka sandwiches.

TheIncredibleBookEatingManchot · 05/04/2018 21:51

Lemon polos and M&S fizzy fish.

Also, I can't remember what they were called but it was in the 1980s that I remember having these - they were bacon flavour fries-shaped crisps with a similar texture to chipsticks. They came in a bag which was landscape rather than portrait in shape and was pink with a newspaper style design. Does anyone remember these? I can find no trace of them and am starting to think they were a figment of my imagination, except I can still taste the deliciousness...

Viper84 · 05/04/2018 21:53

Ooo and butter something polos
