Lyons Showboats; which were a sort of kunzel cake (thick chocolate shell filled with a creamy centre). They came in packs of 4 - all different shapes. They were delicious.

  • Dark ginger biscuits
  • Chupa chups chocolate & vanilla flavour lollipops
  • Dark brown cream soda fizzy pop
  • ‘Ramek’ cheese spread triangles

Don’t get me started on all the things I wish they made decent gluten free versions of...

Burton’s Potato Puffs
Mint Cracknel

Sorry... couldn’t decide on one.

Actually... you could get Milk Tray chocolate bars... each section had a different filling.

Sigh...

Turkey twizzlers and boil in the bag spaghetti Bolognese 😍

Do they still make Dream Topping? I loved that as I didn’t like cream as a child.

RhitaGawr · 04/02/2020 19:09

I remember these, chocolate in any flavour tasted good back then.

God there are loads,

Lincoln biscuits
Royal Scot biscuits
Scottish Abernethy biscuits
Lemon puff biscuits

Cabana bars
United bars in blue and white striped wrapper

In the 70’s there was a dessert, similar to Angel Delight, but it was honey flavour and had Winnie the Pooh on the front.

M & S honeycomb bars in a multipack

Mr Kipling apricot pies

Yabadee · 04/02/2020 19:12

Micro noodles 😫 only stopped past couple years but I miss them so much

WoodliceInSunderland · 04/02/2020 19:13

Toffos with different flavours in a mixed tube, I remember banana being amazing and strawberry. They were great and didn't pull your fillings out like most toffee!

lilgreen · 04/02/2020 19:14

Just seen that Dream Topping is still in Tesco and it’s dairy free! It’ll get a new lease of life from vegans!
Instant Whip @Blingismything?

lilgreen · 04/02/2020 19:15

Yes banana toffos!
