@DontPetTheSweatyStuff the McDonalds banoffee pie was the most amazing dessert ever and every Christmas I nurture the forlorn hope they'll bring it back. No one else ever remembers it when I mention them but they were lush!

Effiedg · 05/02/2020 03:20

Potato Puffs.

Helpinghim · 05/02/2020 03:28

This!
Yogurt was amazing and the toys were so cute!

I wish we could get Lucky charms manufactured here too, so they were cheaper. Marshmallow mateys just don't cut it.

Trebor toffee lollipops Smile loves them as a kid

@Rumboogie and @Lima45

Totally agree about Black Magic centres (a crime!) and the discontinuation of the best Terry's chocolates.

All Gold and Neapolitans were fabulous but Terry's Spartan were gorgeous- my all-time favourite, all dark with all hard centres. 😢

WalkingInTheAir13 · 05/02/2020 04:25

@Thelnebriati
Or proper Terry's Chocolate Orange, like it used to be. Not the candle wax they palm off on us now.

Exactly!

Shakirawannabe · 05/02/2020 04:26

Oh and wisps mint

Tyrozet · 05/02/2020 04:32

So many!

Proper Irn Bru and Irn Bru bars
Echo biscuits
Marble bars
Corn Pops
Potato Puffs

Calyppo Shots - they were like tiny ball bearings of frozen lime calyppo in a tub.

Birdseye used to make a filled chicken pastry thing - I think you got cheese and ham or creamy brocolli, I loved those!

McCain Micro Pizza

PrincessPain · 05/02/2020 05:15

Citrus polos.
When my Dad used to take me to the post office on a saturday morning it would be my sweet of choice.
No one I've ever spoken to remembers them!

Havent RTFT either but Heinz Baked Beans pizzas were unbelievably delicious!

Exitstrategist · 05/02/2020 05:29

Secrets bar!
Are romanticas (chocolate ice cream cakes) still available? Haven’t seen them in years.
Frosties.
Taz bars

DeeCeeCherry · 05/02/2020 05:40

Butter flavoured Ready Brek

vampirethriller · 05/02/2020 05:44

Butter flavoured ready break?? When was this?
Romantica is no more sadly. I loved those too. They were the treat at my granddad's when we went for lunch.

Byllis · 05/02/2020 05:51

All quite recent...

The whipped version of Philadelphia

Fevertree cola that is NOT "refreshingly light" (the full-fat one was the best soft drink ever)

A Waitrose own-brand Belgian milk chocolate bar with caramel pieces

Gotthetshirt23 · 05/02/2020 06:16

@OnceUponAMidnightBeery
Scampi and lemon nik naks are still in multi packs at Home Bargains

Greenpolkadot · 05/02/2020 06:25

Spangles

Greenpolkadot · 05/02/2020 06:30

I remember Walnuts Whips had a walnut in the bottom as well as on top.
Another vote for Neapolitons. And proper sellophane wrappers on Rose's chocolates
Also the return of the mint cracknel with Roses

croon979 · 05/02/2020 07:19

5-4-3-2-1 bars

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 05/02/2020 07:45

You can still get Calippo Shots (unless they've cancelled them since last year) - my kids love them.

WhataCacophony · 05/02/2020 07:58

Please someone say they remember this, it was a brand of mayonnaise with, I think, tarragon?

It was amazing!

ToastyFingers · 05/02/2020 08:08

Polo citrus sharp.

sparklesandmoresparkles · 05/02/2020 08:23

Muller chocolate yoghurt - why on earth did they stop doing these when they were the staple to sooooo many slimming world desserts??
Mint aero when it was more like a wispa bar shame and brown chocolate all the way through, not the green stuff.
Cadbury’s dark chocolate and raspberry medley bar. I may have ordered £28 worth of bars when I found out it had been discontinued Blush
Ooh and coffee flavour twister ice cream. Most people thought I was weird to like them but they were absolutely lush!
Greggs Cornish pasty in puff pastry not shortcrust, and their chocolate fresh cream oysters. Heaven!

ShatnersWig · 05/02/2020 08:28

Another vote for SPANGLES

closely followed by a peanut Banjo
