To ask what one extinct thing you would bring back from your childhood?

[PansyPotter84]

By “thing” - I don’t mean people. I’m sure there are people from our childhoods that we would all want to bring back more than any “thing” in the world.

The thing that I would bring back would be tinned Spaghetti Hoops with Hotdogs in Smokey-Bacon Sauce by Heinz.

Best thing ever in the 90s IMHO!

Common sense.

Decent Wagon Wheels! They used to be so delicious.

Full sugar ribena. Old salt
and vinegar Discos, that were so sharp and salty and the taste just is not the same now.
‘Secret’ chocolate bar that Cadburys did.

Woolies pick and mix. Woolies everything 😩

Good manners

Real UK made chocolate, not the current oily America slop we have nowadays

Cabana chocolate bar and the Pipkins.

Pacers. They were a minty version of opal fruits. They had a pale green and white stripe through them if my memory serves me correct!

Um bongo

Life without smartphones

I'd totally forgotten about the smokey bacon sauce hoops and sausages! They were lovely.

I'd like the ritz crackers with the cheese in the middle back.

Spira - the best!

I always think of Pacers if I ever see Celtic play footie on TV. They were a good sweet!

Palitoy Treehouse. My best ever Xmas present.

Puffs crisps and the pig shaped ones that tasted of Smokey bacon.

Chicken and bacon crispy pancakes and uncle Ben's teriyaki sauce in a jar. Also a weird but delicious thing where you got a spice paste to cook chicken with and a salad dressing shrink wrapped with it to make a warm salad - mid 90s I think. I cannot remember who made that, or find anything similar.
Also if you're from Ireland - fizzle sticks!
ETA oops that's more than one!

I know they still do Pepperami but they’re not quite the same (used to be saltier?)
but their advert was funny. Think they got into trouble for it. It was a Peperami chasing a bloke down the street or something and at the end it said ‘Peperami, it’s a bit of an animal’ 🤣

Romantica ice cream, only ever had for special occasions 😋

Loved the song in it 😆

Trios - although I am informed they still exist i can't find them anywhere.

Proper cadbury chocolate, not the palm oil rubbish we have now!
Gino genelli ice cream

Mirage Lemon ice cream / sorbet shell lolly , only remember it during one summer in the mid 90s but I think had one every day !

Me- the plain chocolate bounty.

My dbrother would bring back the original Flake advert. "Only the crumbliest flakiest chocolate....." accompanied by long legged dusky brunette.

I've changed my mind as much as I love the ritz crackers with cheese in the middle I think I'd want to bring back the high street, all the good clothes shops we had! I used to love shopping in town in the 90s now you just have to trail round various soulless retail parks or travel to a massive indoor shopping centre.

I feel like in the 90s you could get everything you needed from the high street/town centre. Now they're just charity and vape shops, even B&M and home bargains have abandoned it for retail parks now.

Sorry @fanofleaves I was thinking of the 1986 Pepperami ad..really catchy song in it.

The village bobby, who could clip some lout round the ear without fear of being accused of being a violent bully, racist, homophobic, transphobic, LGBT etc. etc. phobic.

and, of course, PROPER liquorice Pontefract Cakes.
