I remember those Pink Panther bars.
Can you still buy Refreshers sweets (not the chews) the roll of fizzy sweets?

@HandsOffMyLangCleg I had chocolate animals recently and they weren't like I remembered. I could take them or leave them now. But I wasn't sure if it was just me

Menu master minced beef ready meal

BreconBeBuggered · 04/02/2020 23:18

They've de-salted the pot noodles, and probably done other wicked things to them too. I'm just glad they took out the weird soya chunks, because they were rank. You can usually re-filthify a pot noodle with a bit of extra soy sauce or chilli. I like mango chutney in a Bombay Bad Boy for a drop of sophistication.
Barbecue supernoodles now. No beef, just vaguely barbecue. Lush. Bring those back in their original form.

Vesta Chicken Curry. I miss it so much.

Also Pink Panther strawberrycandy. Didn’t there used to be Rupert Bear candy in an orange flavour?

Also miss those Milk Tray bars, and dimly remember a plain chocolate one, perhaps a Bournville Selection one?

Mint chocolate Bitz

Absolute number one, Toast Toppers. Especially the mushroomy one.

Secondly Bachelor's Pasta n Sauce Mushroom and Wine flavour. Last year they did a limited Mushroom and Prosecco flavour, which was almost as good. Bought and hid some packets. DH found and ate them. Still looking for good recipes for roasted husbands.

Salt and vinegar Quavers. Why? Why introduce them just to take them away?!

Scampi and Lemon NikNaks... again, whyyyy?

Probably remember loads more as I RTFT, but oh gods I miss these!

Frosties sweets - a little packet of hard boiled cola sweets with sugar coating. Loved them.

My friend and I used to regularly use our Saturday job money to buy a romantica cake and have half each.

Topics and Ham and Mustard Branigans can still be found in garages and obscure newsagents/sweet shops. I indulge in these quite frequently.

Completely forgot about lamb and mint walkers sensations, I loved them and it hadn't occurred to me until now that they didn't make them anymore. Another vote from me for assorted flavour Toffos...

There used to be a dessert brand called Entemanns and they made the most incredible New York cheesecake. I used to get it from Gateway/Somerfield and every mouthful was pure creamy heaven.

@Yassskween I remember fruitangs!!

Walkers Cheese & Branston Pickle crisps

Windy0urneckin · 04/02/2020 23:33

I thought of more:
Coffee creams from Roses
Fox’s Ginger Crinkle Crunch
Can’t remember what they’re called but smaller round Fox’s biscuits with thick chocolate on top.

RockySpeed · 04/02/2020 23:33

Easy - Worcester Sauce Seabrook crisps. I miss them daily

Thanks PP, I'd forgotten Tab Clear... don't know what it was about it, but if I mixed that with orange juice it had the same effect as vodka... and no hangover... my school days were a lot more fun after that... although I'm not sure I learned much

EBearhug · 04/02/2020 23:36

Scampi and Lemon NikNaks... again, whyyyy?

Because they were vile and disgusting and used to stink the place out.

OlaEliza · 04/02/2020 23:41

The spicy McCoy's, was it curry? The current ones are different.
