@Wafflehouse YES! They were amazingggggg! Fruit corners have it in but obviously it's better in them big tubs. God it was nice!!!

Wafflehouse · 05/02/2020 11:19

Did they change the yogurt in corners though? I find them really runny now.

Iceland did a chicken tikka lasagne that was so bad it was delicious! Spira and marble chocolate bars too they were amazing

Salamander91 · 05/02/2020 11:22

Knorr sizzle and stir tikka masala sauce was amazing.

Mustard hula hoops. I cant remember if it was beef and mustard or ham and mustard but they were so lovely.

Texan bar - I'm talking about the 80's.

purpleme12 · 05/02/2020 11:41

Yes wildlife bars and tasters! Loved them :-(

Sara Lee frozen chocolate gateau.

Cracker-like lemon sandwich biscuits with salt on top.

Mingles.

Cheddarie cream cheese spread.

Caramel78 · 05/02/2020 11:52

@squishee loved the Sara Lee chocolate gateaux. It was always our family dessert on a Saturday night when I was little

Nelly325 · 05/02/2020 12:17

Citrus polos!

Iceland sold a brand named 'Ross'... they did a vegetable hotpot, going back 20 years ago when I first became vegetarian, I lived on them.
Ive been trawling the Internet looking for them recently and sadly found they only do a beef hotpot nowadays Sad

KaliforniaDreamz · 05/02/2020 12:56

RIP Cadbury's

I couldnt finish a Boost bar the other day it was so bad
Star Bars and Twirls are still acceptable. Just.

Lime crusha

MyCatHatesEverybody · 05/02/2020 14:01

@Marahute I'm pretty sure you're thinking of Lo chocolate bars made by Leaf (who also made gobstoppers and stuff iirc). They were 99 calories and came in two pieces. They did a Lo Gold truffle bar as well...gorgeous.

Frufoo yoghurts! I used to have them as a child watching Blind Date or Don't Try This at Home

VapingHot · 05/02/2020 15:10

Especially the Cabana!

Zaphodsotherhead · 05/02/2020 15:15

I'm sure you can still get Old Jamaica in Oz. I brought a bar back for my XP last year - bought in Woolworths!

CarolinaPink · 05/02/2020 16:46

M&S soft seeded roll with prawns and egg mayo.
Loved that so much.

Yes! Never heard anybody mention them, but I loved them and still make them at home: most recently last week :) Can't quite get the rolls, though Confused

HandsOffMyLangCleg · 05/02/2020 16:49

Sandwiches - Holland & Barratt Peanut butter and peach on wholemeal bread, circa 1990.

M&S soft cheese and celery on wholemeal

CarolinaPink · 05/02/2020 16:50

*Ready salted chipsticks.

I miss them so much. Tesco used to do the best ones. Sometimes they were almost transparent they were so fat filled. And salty. Delicious. The salt and vinegar ones are just not the same.*

OMG yes...

MingeofDeath · 05/02/2020 17:00

In no particular order

Texan bars
Terry's Neapolitans
Spangles
Butterscotch fruit gums
There was also a chocolate bar that was called either Ice Breaker or
Mint Cracknell that had sort of laminated sweet minty stuff covered in chocolate

MingeofDeath · 05/02/2020 17:05

I forgot about Fry's five centres - different flavour Fry's chocolate cream in one bar

WhatToDo999 · 05/02/2020 17:07

Puff Crisps - not sure who made them, but my god i loved the beef flavoured ones x

HandsOffMyLangCleg · 05/02/2020 17:12

Mousse?
