Prawn cocktail wotsits, I miss them so much. Sad

GlomOfNit · 06/02/2020 08:52

How sad is it of me that I'm actually mentally bookmarking this thread to read in its entirety later? Grin

Before I do that, here are the first couple that leap to mind:

M&S pork and tomato and herb lattice sausage rolls. We used to buy them in a 4-pack for a treat. My mum was OBSESSED with them so that treat came around quite frequently. I can still taste them.

Proper Rowntrees Fruit Gums, the ones that were thin, brittle if cold and looked like little crowns with the tops divided into 9 knobbles. You sucked them carefully, your tongue caressing the knobs on the top side, and they went wafer thin and quite sharp. They also tasted different and not so sweet. Bring them back!

Sun dried tomato Philadelphia (soft cheese) 🤤😭 it was THE BEST on bagels.

IntermittentParps · 06/02/2020 10:52

copper, really? How weird.

I mean, clearly I never try to buy it anyway, otherwise I would have known it wasn't available any more. But I did used to love it and am a bit sad at the idea of it not existing.

AmazingDisgrace · 06/02/2020 11:36

Toast Toppers. So bad bad so good

Thelnebriati · 06/02/2020 11:38

Cadbury’s Cabana bars - even nicer than a Bounty with cherry chunks and caramel. Like a holiday in your mouth.

MeridianB · 06/02/2020 13:00

Oops, apparently it was Rowntree’s. Not Cadbury.

Rachel97 · 06/02/2020 13:04
