Every summer I’m a bit sad that my kids will never have a Pizazz ice lolly. They were my absolute favourite as a child.

There used to be a Walkers Max cheese dip that was awesome warmed up, there’s a Doritos cheese one now bit it’s not the same at all.

Ridged pringles in the dark blue tube were ace, I remember them first coming in over here and there were only 3 varieties; original, sour cream and chive or ridged.

Oh and Irn Bru chew bars, I lost a tooth to one of those.

Maverick bars. No one else ever remembers them.

Cherry drops before they took the flavour out and made them just taste like sugar. I’m sure they used to taste much better years ago

SurferRona you can get horseradish soft cheese in Polish shops and sometimes the Polish section in a big supermarket. Can't remember the brand name but the tub is made to look like a mini half barrel.

The black spangles were called Old Fasioned and had flavours like cough candy and sasparilla.

I bought some crispy pancakes in Farm Foods a while back - revolting, either the recipe has changed or I'm remembering them with rose-tinted taste buds!

Bitza Pizza crisps. One of the best crisps of my childhood
