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.

If you buy a multi pack of nik naks, the scampi ones are in there.

But... @RonObvious …. Bacon & Bean PIGLETS thanks for the reminder!

I was going to say Twilight mints, I've not seen those for ages.

Ladybirdlashes · 13/05/2020 16:07

Luv tubs!! They had two flavours - chocolate and a toffee/fudgey on with the most delicious sauce! You melt them in the microwave they were just amazing I was so gutted when the stopped being sold.

Oh you can still get ice magic but it’s a bit shit now.

I’ve only seen multi packs for single flavours of nik naks round here ☹️

Irn bru bars 😋

Ohtherewearethen · 13/05/2020 21:04

I used to love a Cheese Moment

Passmethepepsi · 13/05/2020 21:08

The things I’d do for toast toppers Blush. Absolutely loved the stuff.

Matilda15 · 13/05/2020 22:16

Cheese skips and salt and vinegar quavers.
Also Cadbury’s fuse bars.

They’ve bought marble back you can get it in B&M

Vinipote · 14/05/2020 01:03

@Passmethepepsi I know, even if it looked like cat sick in a tiny tin. Loved the stuff!

You can still get Heinz sandwich spread in Tesco.

I also miss toast toppers and potato puffs.

We used to get cheese hamwiches and turkey drummers, do they still make them? I'd probably hate them now but still would like to give them a go.

They brought out a cremola foam type drink a couple of years ago and it was rubbish!

I grew up 70s/80s. Things I loved:-
Lovely chocolate deserts - denser than a mousse with a circular patterning cream blobs on the top. Frozen in little pots. Mum never took them out of the freezer in time for tea...always eaten slightly icy!!
Vesta chicken supreme - looked like cat sick but tasted fab!
Outer Spacers crisps - smoky bacon A shaped rockets or pickled onion circular space station designs. - think there was another flavour but cant remember it
All Stars Mousse - came on orange or mint. Individual pots with an outer choc shell
Haunted house ice lollies - milky creamy ice cream with a red or I think green sauce ghosty outline in the front
Lovely strawberry dessert in a can - like a cold pink strawberry custard
Duchy biscuits - lovely buttery shortcake biscuits. Each one had a scroll embossed on it with an English county name...got so excited when I had one with my home county on!!

Fudgecakes · 14/05/2020 01:28

Strawberry dessert wasn't called Lovely - that was the chocolate dessert, it was called Sweetheart

F0RESTGRUMP · 14/05/2020 01:35

@ellanwood I loved Nutty bars.

The closest I’ve found to them are Payday bars. You can find them in the sort of shops that sell American candy/choc bars. Yum.

Madieracake · 14/05/2020 01:50

Golden Cup. There was so mini version but can't remember the name. Loved United biscuits and rectangle Walls ice cream block that fitted into a rectangular cornet.
