Secret bars, burtons potato puffs and Cremola foam, but it has to be the orange one.

Burton's potato puffs for me too. they were lovely used to buy them from our school tuck shop. there's an fb site dedicated to bringing them back. wish they would still crave them now.

Turkey Twizzlers. God I hate Jamie a Oliver

BDeyes · 05/02/2020 23:58

oh and Riva chocolate bars too.

Proper clubs. Had one today and its mostly biscuit. I remember when they had a proper layer of the flavoured bit.

Ace biscuits too. Loved those.

A pp mentioned cheesy triangles (I remember them as 'cheesies') they were the first thing I thought of when I saw the thread.
Also Birds instant semolina. Used to love that.

Not read the full thread so no idea whether this has been mentioned already but when I was a kid I used to LOVE Banana Bubbles.... they were like Rice Krispies but banana flavoured so you ended up with what tasted like banana milkshake at the end too! I'm still really gutted that I can't get those anymore. Sad

TURKEY TWIZZLERS

Kellogg’s Frosties. I bought some this week, well it said Frosties on the box but inside they weren’t Frosties, just dried up flakes which were sugarless and tasteless. So disappointed. Please stop messing with our food. And stop ‘improving’ it.

Mintola

Fizzy Chewits

DuchessAnnogovia · 06/02/2020 02:54

Waitrose cream soda. They replaced it with a low sugar version which tastes

Luckystar777 · 06/02/2020 02:55

@PrincessPain I remember the citrus polos! They were addictive!

I also want Fiendish Feet yoghurts back.

ManCubsMama · 06/02/2020 03:02

Riesen Chocolate Chews. They might not actually be discontinued but I haven’t been able to find them anywhere for years, which is an absolute damn crying shame

Chocpear · 06/02/2020 03:11

@manscubmama, if you mean these Riesen in the pic Ocado sell them. I like them a lot

Aw this thread is making me feel real sad Confused I miss all of these

WalkingInTheAir13 · 06/02/2020 03:42

@WhataCacophony

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

I think what you are describing is Bearnaise Sauce. Ocado sell a few different brands.

Luckystar777 · 06/02/2020 04:03

@jenyy77 you can get fry's orange creams in large poundland stores

thehumblepotatoes · 06/02/2020 05:42

@newfloorlamp if you want chocolate pretzels then Waitrose and Sainsbury's petrol stations are your friend.

thehumblepotatoes · 06/02/2020 05:45

Smash instant mash

gk6277 · 06/02/2020 06:28

Asda own brand frozen chocolate yoghurt ice cream, so much nicer than any other brand out there

gk6277 · 06/02/2020 06:30

I have strong memories of duo cans... Double ended large tins of say meatballs and spaghetti that were heated in a saucepan of boiling water LOL

shortytrekker · 06/02/2020 07:00

Dillydallyalltheway · 06/02/2020 08:37

@SoftBlocks me too I absolutely loved nutty bars and it would Be amazing to bring them back, I also loved the coco cabana (I think) full of coconut and cherries.
