Toast toppers and those baked chicken and chips snacks! Sure many of you can add or fondly reminisce about treats or certain foodstuffs from the dark and distant past.

Secret bars!

MiddleClassProblem · 12/05/2020 20:38

They might say they have them but they never have them in stock round here 😭

@Thehop Tesco defiantly sell marmite crisps still ! They are all I've been eating in my pregnancy.

Mine are Mars Delight , Snaps , Flipper Dippers and prawn cocktail wotsits 😍

Sainsburys cheese button crisps. They were amazing.

Golden nuggets bubble gum sold in the little cloth bags.

Samtsirch · 12/05/2020 20:51

Also Spanish gold sweet tobacco.
They were like little coco nutty worms covered in sugar.

Goblin pudding and mint wispas!!

Jojobar · 12/05/2020 20:56

Aldi also sell Tomato Snaps.

I still miss Banjo bars, and it must be well over 30 years since they stopped making them!

Jojobar · 12/05/2020 20:59

Ah Goblins!
I was brought up on those and also fed them to DS (occasionally) when he was little. We had a proper nostalgia moment last year and went to buy some but couldn't find them anywhere! Sad

Hedgehog Crisps - a foreign friend packed loads of these in her suitcase to take home as she was sure nobody would believe the barbaric brits would make crisps from hedgehogs.
I miss Drifters the most.

@jcyclops I managed to google that😂

Philleas Fogg Mignons Morceaux although you smelt of garlic for days afterwards.. didn’t care,
The Tortilla chips both normal and hot were so much better than anything nowadays loved the Punjab puri too.
Fuse bars
Pot rice

AnneLovesGilbert · 12/05/2020 21:23

Another vote for Philleas Fogg Mignons Morceaux, utter tragedy they’ve disappeared. I’d pay any amount of money for the garlic burn.

Thehop · 12/05/2020 21:26

@locksmithg you’re wonderful thank you!

Notimeforaname · 12/05/2020 21:30

Oh banshee bones, how I miss you. The best Irish crisp

Also, another vote for Mars Delight

Piglets.

Belledan1 · 12/05/2020 21:30

They sell tangy tom crisps in my local paper shop together with oinks. I have seen them in a few local shops over time.

happyjules · 12/05/2020 21:39

Nutty bars and Texan are both sorely missed by me. Although I think that Hershies Pay Day bar is a very good runner up to the Nutty. They can sometimes be found in B&M.

showmewhatyougot · 12/05/2020 21:45

The little square cubes of hula hoops, and 3D Doritos

Smithtylater · 12/05/2020 21:50

Prawn cocktail quavers
Fruit toffos
Fizzy jerks
Citrus polos

M0mmyneedswine · 12/05/2020 21:51

Spiral chocolate bar used to love them

Smithtylater · 12/05/2020 21:52

Also this stuff was amazing...cheese popcorn!
