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.

Coffee flavour matchsticks. Gone but not forgotten.

Wall's vanilla and chocolate Twister. Absolutely gorgeous while being low calorie. Discontinued but that green and purple monstrosity that tastes like toilet duck carries on.

Gino ginelli ice cream - both the tutti frutti and the toffee/fudge type flavour

IHaveBrilloHair · 14/05/2020 14:10

You can still get cheese hamwiches, I buy them sometimes

MashedSpud · 14/05/2020 14:25

Bitza Pizza crisps and Nibbits Wheelz crisps that came in a big bag and were shaped like wheels from a wagon. You could get plain, onion & vinegar and Mexican spice flavour.

Eminybob · 14/05/2020 14:46

Those matchstick sized crisps, I think they were called mini chips? They were lovely.

And about 25 years ago i went through a vegetarian phases and my mum used to buy various frozen veggie convenience foods. My favourite were kind of hash brown style potato filled with a mushroom sauce. Possibly Linda McCartney (or not) no idea but can’t find anything like it since.

ladymary86 · 14/05/2020 15:31

If we are on to cereals now - Corn Pops were the shiz!!!

MiddleClassProblem · 14/05/2020 15:46

Sara Lee double chocolate gateau. You used to be able to get individual ones!

ToomuchtimeonNetflix · 14/05/2020 16:15

I'm loving this trip down memory lane,
I do miss the drifter, here are my favourites:
Mingles
Applause
Wham bars
and the cheese and onion crisps from KP in the yellow bag that used to have the two monks on the packet.
Nothing tastes as good now as it did when I was a child

ToomuchtimeonNetflix · 14/05/2020 16:17

@eminybob did you mean mushroom feasts? perhaps by findus

namechangenumber2 · 14/05/2020 20:24

@Eminybob - like these? Most of the supermarkets sell them!

Favourite snacks and where did they go?
OwlinaTree · 14/05/2020 23:01

They used to do a really nice toffee ice-cream called too good to be true, that was lush. I also miss salt and vinegar quavers.

Trumpetpants · 14/05/2020 23:10

Milk tray but in a bar, counters in a white bag with a pic of a blue bird on the front. Strawberry chilli, and another vote for Golden Cup

BeetheQueenBee · 15/05/2020 08:45

Bitza pizza crisps, the cheese & tomato ones were the best.

Yes!

I buy tomato snaps from Morrisons, orange aero from my corner shop and have had a mint feast from the petrol station.

Lilapause? A praline chocolate bar in a lilac wrapper.
Loved Time Outs too. I buy the wafer ones but PP has reminded me of the ones that had the layer of chocolate in the middle.

Talcott2007 · 15/05/2020 08:58

They used to sell huge bags of garlic flavored doritos in Blockbusters! - never seen them anywhere else. Set you up right for a Friday Night!!!

GoBackToPartyCity · 15/05/2020 09:08

Irn-bru bars. Loved them!

BeetheQueenBee · 15/05/2020 09:22

Irn-bru bars were great, as were Wham.

BeetheQueenBee · 15/05/2020 09:27

Have any of you had a Mint Terrys Orange - like a chocolate orange but dark chocolate (I think) and mint flavoured, in a green box.
