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

Fry's Orange Cream.
Or maybe Zoom lollies, I want one of those so much.

LashingsOfHamAndGingerBeer · 05/04/2018 22:00

After saying I could find no trace, I dug a little deeper on the Google search... here they are!!! Been searching for these on and off for years and was starting to genuinely think I had made them up!

Tesco's used to do a cheese filled beef burger. I used to love them as a teen with Tesco's instant mash with lots of butter( sounds healthy don't it? )

I used to buy a chocolate egg, which looked like a very real egg, size, colour and everything, but was chocolate with a crispy shell. Loved those but they disappeared to never be seen again.

Peaheadz · 05/04/2018 22:09

The smarties chocolate mini cakes with smarties in them.

user1471462656 · 05/04/2018 22:09

When I was a child I remember getting marmite flavoured chipsticks crisps from
Sainsbury’s, they were so good

bluedomino · 05/04/2018 22:10

Kunzle cakes.

Peaheadz · 05/04/2018 22:11

Also strawberry starburst ice lollys

RunMummyRun68 · 05/04/2018 22:11

Why did Lincoln biscuits go? God I loved those

Snooky17 · 05/04/2018 22:14

Abbey crunch biscuits

mathanxiety · 05/04/2018 22:17

The glorious Irish frozen taste sensation that was known as the Wibbly Wobbly Wonder.

The Aztec bar.

mathanxiety · 05/04/2018 22:17

YYY to Lincoln biscuits Sad

RunMummyRun68 · 05/04/2018 22:18

mumof2sarah · 05/04/2018 22:21

SPIRA SmileSmile

Mixingitall · 05/04/2018 22:22

Chocolate flavoured carrots from Iceland, the most bizarre but amazing vegetable!

Lostin3dspace · 05/04/2018 22:22

Hedgehog 🦔 Crisps. I miss them.

GlowWine · 05/04/2018 22:23

Anyone remember Romany biscuits?

BugsyMcGee · 05/04/2018 22:23

Mcvities Jasper biscuits (orangey chocolate biscuits with dried fruit in them)
Rowntrees Cabana bar
Double deckers when they had raisins in the base and were smaller, less sickly.
Spring onion wheat crunches.
Country chicken wheat crunchies.
Bacon discos.
Mars delight.
Milk Tray bar with a lime barrel.
Mars dark and light.
Smiths ready salted tubes.
Burtons piglets, bacon smax, puffs.
Smiths Ready salted chipsticks.

I could be imagining the next one?!?
Bacon fries (like chipsticks in a pink newspaper design packet)

Coconut toffee crisp.
Orange Bitz bar.
Bar six.
Frys five centre.
Orange twix.
Golden crackles cereal.
Onken strawberry, peach, choc hazelnut mousse with cream on the bottom.
Asda strawberry crumble corner, lush, better n cheaper than Muller ones.
Cheese hula hoops circa 1987.
Lovells Milky Lunch.

Minced beef crispy pancakes before they brought them back, shrunk them, made them rock hard on the outside (not a proper breadcrumb coating) with a tiny amount of gristle in gravy inside.

Original Ringos before Golden Wonder brought them back and turned them into sharp mouth slashing tasteless vileness.

I could go on but it's too bloody depressing how many things that taste great get discontinued in favour of keeping mediocre tasteless shit on the shelves.

augustusglupe · 05/04/2018 22:27

Marks and Spencer Manchester Tart. They discontinued it about 15 years ago. It was exactly like the one we had for school dinners in the 70s.

FreshTart · 05/04/2018 22:28

Treets - peanut in a dark thick chocolate shell
Rancheros - Ive just seen you can still buy them on Ebay!!!
