I’m pretty gutted that McDonald’s recently stopped selling strawberry sundaes. I’m not a fan of McFlurrys but always enjoyed a strawberry sundae Sad.

Mars delights were great.

I loved BBQ rib walkers. They briefly brought them back a couple of years ago but stopped them again...

Spira
Cabana
Quattro - with the original advert

TuttiFrutti123 · 04/02/2020 18:08

Another vote for Potato Puffs, Wispa Mint, Pyramint, Fry's Five Centres and Cabana bars.

I'd love to bring back McVitie's Jaspers and Muller Rum and Raisin corner.

OverUnder yes, Frugrains!! I’ve looked for them recently but no luck.
I had them as a child.
Also will say Texan bars, biscuit boost.

Tesco have also discontinued their finest passata jars which is really annoying.

Romantica ice cream cake!!! Apparently they still sell it in Ireland and I am not ashamed to say every now and then I consider booking flight to Ireland purely to eat an entire one of these by myself.

Tangy Twiglets the worcester sauce flavour ones and the little applejack sweets that were sold with fruit salads and blackjacks.

CakeIsMyFavouriteAndBest · 04/02/2020 18:12

Force flakes - they were my favourite cereal

saraclara · 04/02/2020 18:16

Ooh yes! Force Flakes!

Lima45 · 04/02/2020 18:18

Seems to be a lot of discontinued Terry's chocolates (glad I'm not the only one who misses the neopolitans)
I wish they'd bring them all back for Christmas. In a huge selection box.

Also yes to the cadbury's puds. Loved those as well

Noodlenosefraggle · 04/02/2020 18:21

There was a confectionary that I remember from the 80's that no one else seems to remember. It was peanut nougat, covered in caramel with peanuts stuck to the outside. There was no chocolate on it. It was delicious!

Robstersgirl · 04/02/2020 18:22

These - I crave them all the time and suspect they won’t taste as good as I remember and with today’s non E number rules at play. www.childofthe1980s.com/2008/11/28/birds-instant-hot-crunch-puddings/

Noodlenosefraggle · 04/02/2020 18:23

WendyMoiraAngelaDarling · 04/02/2020 18:25

@Noodlenosefraggle that was a Nutty Bar. My mum used to have one every Friday night.

Marks and Spencer's Buttered Jacket Potato crisps. I have said this before Grin CAN YOU HEAR ME M&S? JUST BRING EM BACK ALREADY! While they're at it they used to do chicken stuffed with coconut lime cream and a light rum sauce ready meal. Miss them too ☹️ And if Philadelphia Cheese could bring back their horseradish soft cheese too, that's be good. Thanks!

Everything pre- new and improved! Cadbury’s chocolate, Such as Caramel, when it was yellow with the purple writing and used to be soft and gooey. Not hard and chewy! Ooh that reminds me - golden cup bars. Same with strawberry and orange fillings in Roses. Terrys before it got oily. After eight mints when they were mintolas. They were softer too. Juicy Lucy ice lollies. Secret bars. Heinz baked bean pizza. Thornton’s fondant pigs and mice. Coffee creams. This is all such unhealthy stuff but as far as I know they’ve not discontinued any fruit or veg so far Grin

houseofhungryboys · 04/02/2020 18:31

Worcester sauce flavour Twiglets 😀Mmmmmm!

nameymcnamechangeagain · 04/02/2020 18:32

White chicolate areo
Astros
Echo bars
“Disney bars” (does anybody remember those? Milk chocolate bar with white chocolate disney character in the middle?)
PLAIN chip sticks!!!!! Fml. Fuck knows why they’ve stopped them but kept salt and vinegar going. The rudeness
