AIBU to ask: What would you like to bring back?

[monstermunch1]

I'll start:

The video shop - ahh the days of a walk to the video shop, peruse the same old films, pick one, pick a choc bar (just one small bar) and home to the betamax machine!!
Channels 1 to 4 - So many less arguments when quite simply there was only ever one thing to watch!

Bring back Davina McCall on BB, along with Dermot O’Leary and Russell Brand on the respective spin-off shows.

Also, free parking at shopping centres and high streets.

The original Prisoner Cell Block H at silly o’clock.

And that McDonalds thing that you got a free Big Mac if you could list the combo within 3 seconds… those were the days.

Oh, and large scale council housebuilding

Phileas Fogg's mignons morceaux

Getting garlic breath just thinking about them

I was going to say original Lucozade in the proper bottle!

A big yes to only having 4 tv channels & all watching the same things - a great bonding experience.
When BBCs Pride & Prejudice was on, Monday morning breaks at work were spent discussing Colin Firth!

“ McDonald’s still sells Root Beer. They do around here anyway.”

Really!? They’ve not sold it at any of the many McDonald’s I’ve frequented for many many years - more’s the pity.

Oh I loved Phileas Fogg’s mignons morceaux, and the Corn Chips!

Excellent shout, why on earth did they discontinue them, the most perfect snack ever.

Top of the pops, gladiators, Crystal maze

Being able to travel without having to check the entry rules a million times and worry about bloody traffic lights changing colour

Pre smart phones when people could just sit in a room without having a phone in their hand.

I live in the US. I assumed they still sold it in the UK too. I haven’t been back in a long time…unfortunately.

T4 on a Sunday morning.
Hollyoaks omnibus, that shipwrecked type show. Vernon and June Sarpingpong!!

Oooo spangles, highland toffee bar covered in chocolate, pacers, 5 flavour fry’s fondant bar , Quattro and chocolate toffos oh and the banana ones too
Jackie, patches and blue Jean - the latter read with a proper sized Mars bar dunked in a cup of tea every Saturday morning.
My fearlessness.
A range of body stuff Boots used to sell that I can’t even remember the name iyosa or something. It was divine the one I liked was yellow and had grapefruit smell amongst other things. I had the full range and always smelt gorgeous

There must be something nostalgic about Sunday nights - I was just wondering what has happened to East 17 and wondered if they are rich from Stay Another Day royalties.

Can I add Fuse, Echo and Secret Bars? Heartbreak High and My So Called Life? Cavities Zester biscuits (I think that was what they were called, they had orange peel in)

As you can tell, I was a teen in the 90's.

Tony Mortimer from East 17 was a pall bearer at Reggie Krays funeral.

I had a moment a few weeks ago when I wondered what East 17 were up to nowadays and stumbled across an article about it. It is my new favourite fact!

Fizzy jerks
More magazine
Drifters
Live and kicking
The generation game
Choices (video rentals)
Woolworths pick and mix
Photobooth pictures in a strip
Proper slap up meals at a beefeater circa mid 90s
Visiting family at xmas and there being loads of aunties, uncles, cousins, and grandparents jammed into one room telling the same stories again and again.
Being little enough to be tucked into bed by my mum.

The Brookie Saturday teatime Omnibus, back when it was "Free George Jackson!" and later the body under the patio storyline..( happy days 😁 )

Potato squares do they still sell them anywhere?

@Laiste

And Flex conditioner.

Omg- I can smell it now!

That 'fresh' orange juice that you made with orange crystals and water.

Records and top of the pops, followed by Fame.

Golden nugget chewing gum in a brown bag
