Creme eggs as they used to be

okiedokieme · 04/02/2020 16:20

Breakfast cereal that tastes nice - they have taken out the sugar and salt, it tastes of cardboard now

Jaichangecentfoisdenom · 04/02/2020 16:21

M&S Aubergine Parmigiana. It was delicious. Used to treat myself to it on Friday nights in the Eighties, from the High Street Ken branch, when I had been dumped and was miserable on my own!

okiedokieme · 04/02/2020 16:22

And the farleys rusks from the 80's. The ones I bought for my kids tastes yucky

purpleme12 · 04/02/2020 16:26

Yes sugar puffs as they used to be years ago they're not worth getting anymore

And lucozade as it used to be again not worth getting it just tastes of nothing now

These! They had some kind of blue bubblegum goo in the middle. Amazing.

YY to Turkey twizzlers!!

I miss the galaxy truffle in a tin of celebrations.

a1234567 · 04/02/2020 16:32

Pacers. These were a mint chewy sweet with white and pale green stripes. Anyone remember these?

blueheaven97 · 04/02/2020 16:34

Colman's French Mustard, and peach flavour Angel Delight.

BumbleBeeFlower · 04/02/2020 16:34

@livelyredjellybean YES! They were the best ever. No one ever seems to remember them though when I talk about them. I was almost starting to think I had imagined them 😂 good to see someone else liked them too.

Calic0 · 04/02/2020 16:38

I actually worked for Nestle back in the early 00s and they brought back the Texan bar for a limited
period and it didn’t sell at all. Which seems odd given the number of mentions it gets on threads like these!

For me: Spira and Secret bars. Oh, and I’d forgotten all about Neopolitans - my lovely grandad used to buy me those Sad

Also, and this is random - M&S used to do this amazing smoked salmon mousse ring. It was THE biggest treat at home when I was a kid, only purchased on high days and holidays and I still miss it.

mindproject · 04/02/2020 16:39

I used to love Bar Six. I wish they would bring it back as a vegan version.

Helini · 04/02/2020 16:40

@Talcott2007 Poundland do a big bag of those chocolate ice cups. They're the small chocolates truffely things that come in bright foil - almost like mini cupcake casings.

mynameisntlouise · 04/02/2020 16:41

Turkey Twizzlers. Damn you Jamie Oliver.

SapatSea · 04/02/2020 16:41

Nut Banjo bars, so light and crispy!

or Cadbury Bar Six or Country style
However, the chocolate would have to be old style Cadbury chocolate.

Mbear · 04/02/2020 16:41

Kellogg’s start cereal and Drifter bars - I miss them both!

lilgreen · 04/02/2020 16:42

Oh I’d forgotten about Banjos. Chewy yumminess.

WanttogotoParis · 04/02/2020 16:43

Cadbury's spira

mynameisntlouise · 04/02/2020 16:44

Also ASDA used to do these flavoured instant mash pots, there was this cheese and broccoli flavour which was so good and I craved so badly in my first pregnancy.

YasssKween · 04/02/2020 16:44

Fruitangs - never met anyone else who remembers these but maybe a MNetter will!

And

Heinz Coronation Chicken

Backtoreality1 · 04/02/2020 16:44

Spangles :)

AhhARadoxBath · 04/02/2020 16:45

Fuse chocolate bar

Cahu58 · 04/02/2020 16:45

Coconut Boost definitely

Jaxhog · 04/02/2020 16:47

Dark chocolate mars bars with nougat. They pop up occasionally as specials, but never when I'm shopping.

I didn't know Treets had gone! Are munchies still around?

Jaxhog · 04/02/2020 16:48

Oh and tinned vegetable salad.
