Aibu to ask you what weird and wonderful food/drinks you remember from your childhood?

[DannyOD]

Mine are :-

Kellogg’s Rise and Shine, a very strange powdered juice drink that we had on special occasions’ instead of actual juice.

Vesta ready meals, particularly the Chow Mein which had crispy noodles on top.

Toast Toppers - weird sludge resembling baby food.

Dream topping and strawberry angel delight

I absolutely LOVED Garbage Pail stickers!
Was it Sticky Vicky? Or Sicky Vicky?!
They were brilliant smile

If you ever visited Benidorm, I think Sticky Vicky was somebody else entirely

They were only discontinued in 2019 www.google.com/search?q=tooty+frooties+pictures&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=1N7mWALdE1UiDM%252Ci352dqdFT_cUuM%252C_&vet=1&usg=AI4_-kRIMK-ycjxoSL6pdEuyM3V1_2suUw&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjF_u6r1c7vAhXOTMAKHbwBAkIQ9QF6BAgLEAE#imgrc=1N7mWALdE1UiDM

haha!

It was Sicky Vicky.
And there was Pee Don!!

@spied, you can still get Meanies crisps in Ireland. They've got a really strong pickled onion flavour, I love them.

Ooh, yes, to Findus crispy pancakes. There's now Bird's Eye versions on the go, but they all have mozzarella. No thanks, I want my crispy pancakes old school. Chicken, bacon and sweetcorn in a gloopy white sauce coated in very orange breadcrumbs .

Any one remember 'Chef Square shaped soup shows how a good soup should be' advert?
It was soup powder in a box

Anyone recollect small brightly coloured plastic fruit shaped bottles, screw on lid, contained sweet powder?

Loving this thread!

I remember Panda Pops - a feature of rural pubs and corner shops that didn't have mainstream drinks like Coca Cola - they were so fizzy and sharp and did make you thirstier than before.

DaisyandIvy yes I loved the grape one

Limeade

Something called Snack Pots which were dried up reconstituted food you stirred after adding boiling water.

Dream Topping.

Evaporated Milk

Banana sandwiches
Crisp sandwiches
Kidneys
Stuffed hearts
Brawn (brain)
Jelly and evaporated milk mousse
Swiss roll with instant whip
Mango chutney chicken curry
Cornflake cakes
Goblin tinned hamburgers in gravy

I remember these sweets. I think they might have been Smarties but they had green chocolate in them and a picture on each one.

Quosh Strawberry squash
Cola and orange favourite squash

When my mum was at work my sister used to make sugar on toast😀

@TheOldRazzleDazzle

I think the fudge lollies were called pzazz or something similar. They were fine.

@OhWhyNot

DaisyandIvy yes I loved the grape one

That's them!

My mum used to buy a bottle of panda pop lemonade to put her vodka into to sneak it into Blackpool Tower when I was wee and we were on holiday.

@TheHelpfulHiker

Oh yes I remember Fiendish Feet and Toast Toppers with their vomit like texture. I'll add sandwich spread (equally vomit like), paste sandwiches and our family weekend tea of ham, cheese and pineapple on toast. Also, does anyone remember Looney Toons crisps? They had pictures of the characters on the actual crisps (unless I dreamt it, no-one else seems to remember this from the 90s)

images.app.goo.gl/ogiEm7Sx6iczSmpm7. Here's your crisps. I loved them

@ShutUpaYourFace

Hedgehog flavour crisps and banana and sugar sandwiches. I also used to steel oxo cubes from the cupboard and eat them raw. Yum

i knew id not imagined hedgehog flavour crisps!!! no one else seems to remember them, but im also not sure if i had them at home or when visiting my nan so could be regional

Has anyone mentioned Country Store ? It was a type of muslie, but really thick and tasty a bowl would fill you up all day ,I haven't had it since around 1984 and can't find it when I Google

Snowballs and Babycham at Christmas!

Can buy Country Store on Amazon for £14.95

Frozen concentrated orange juice, had to be defrosted (no microwaves then) in hot water, then diluted in cold water. Seemed really posh.
Brawn - pigs head (free from the butchers) boiled up and deboned and mushed up.
Carlins, I think this might be a North East thing. Brown dried peas, soaked overnight, eaten only at Easter, I never found out why!

Wow £14.95 it was good but I'm not sure it's worth nearly £15 😳

You can get butterscotch angel delight fake in lidl...it's devine!
