Many years ago Marks & Spencer sold a cheese and apple sandwich. It was grated cheese mixed with some kind of mayonnaise and with chunks of apple. It was amazing. Then it stopped and it never returned.

Would I be unreasonable to email their head office to ask for them to reintroduce it?

There was a cafe near me that did the best ever white hot chocolate and I used to have one every Friday. Often, white hot chocolate is too sweet but they’d absolutely nailed it and it was amazing 😋 😋 One day, it was gone and I was gutted 😢 😢

Maggi cooking papers. Don’t remember the proper name, but they were cooking papers, with lots of different herbs/spices that you wrapped round chucken to fry it. The garlic one was my favourite.

Yes, these were lovely. The garlic was our favourite too!

The original Coke Zero recipe and Decleor skin care

John Freida shampoo and conditioner in a blue glass bottle in the 90’s-early 2000, loved them, they made my dry frizzy hair sleek and really soft.

M and S used to do a wafer thin turkey, coleslaw and salad sandwich. When it suddenly disappeared,I asked a member of staff about it. She denied that they'd ever done it! But that's par for the course in M and S. They've discontinued quite a few products over the years and whenever I've queried it,they either deny everything having done said product,or said that I must have bought it somewhere else! I'm dreading them ever stopping their Cheese Tasters as they are my absolute favourite savoury snack.

Andrew’s Liver Salts was great for indigestion and mildly laxative

There was also one called Eno, haven't seen that one either.

If ever I felt a tad unwell, I used to always take Andrews, hideous stuff but it did seem to make me feel slightly better.

@Myblueclematis my sister and i used to neck a glass in one go whilst it was still really fizzing and see who did the biggest burp - after the burp all was well !

Ah, that's why I felt better after forcing it down, I knew there must be a reason ... 😆

I just remembered Lyons individual apricot pies. It was such a treat to get any bought baked goods, but an apricot pie was the absolute epitome of deliciousness to my 5 year old palate. Lyons did loads of different little fruit pies, but apricot was my absolute favourite.

Dove Original body wash and bath foam...i.e the stuff that smells like the Dove Original soap bars. I bloody loved the original fragrance! None of the newer Dove stuff smells anything like the original stuff. I remember getting a set one Christmas and it was lovely. I keep searching for it, but no joy.

The old ranges that the Body Shop used to have in the 90's.

I'm sure I'll think of other stuff!!

I can still buy the Dove Original hand wash (they do refill packs too) from Boots. Also the Dove Original deodorant. I agree with you the original fragrance is the best - the newer ones are sickly sweet and pretty awful.

Sunsilk de Parfum shampoo.

Oh god yes.

Ballerinacappucine · 04/08/2025 19:27

This shampoo from the 80s. It had the most gorgeous smell that lasted for ages on your hair.

Brannigans Beef and Mustard Crisps.

Cheese tasters are SO much better than Wotsits.

The original yellow metanium cream

its the only cream that worked on really sore bottoms

We still have two half tubes of this! Think we got it just before the discontinued announcement was made. Kit & Kin claim theirs is better so I may try this when we run out….

Nutty Bar! Thank you, have been trying to remember what they were called for ages! Tried to describe them to my husband and he thinks I've made it up 😁

Marks and Spencers Delta crisps. Very salty potatoey triangle crisps
Marks and Spencer Brunch Bar. Not to be confused with Cadburys Brunch Bar. This was on another level.
Marks and Spencers Prawn and Egg sandwich on a seeded roll.
Marks and Spencers have discontinued a lot of my favourite foods!
