Products they stopped that need to come back

[TreeSturgeon]

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?

Flex Balsam Shampoo and Conditioner. I know they sell them in home bargains but to me, there's just something not quite original about it.
Body Shop Coconut Hair shine. It came in a tin and made to look like shoe polish.
Trevor Sorbie hair products the polish I think it was called. It was in black packaging and smelled gorgeous!
(Showing my age here) Dimension shampoo. Very distinctive strong perfume to it.

Oh yes! I have hugely happy memories of weekend mornings with bathroom smelling of Flex.

Lidl passion fruit jam.

Heinz cucumber sandwich spread.

I rarely have bread anymore. Maybe not having these anymore is why.

Quorn change their availability so often. Currently can't get frozen "bacon" or "steak strips" or lots of other stuff. You get a lovely little repertoire of recipes and then they stop making/selling stuff. Grr

Flex shampoo and conditioner. Smelled divine, even though the conditioner looked like custard!

Vesta beef curry and rice (can sometimes get on Amazon)
Trebor mints, not the extra strong ones, more like Polo mints but no hole
Mr Kiplings Jaffa Cake bars
Fizzy cola Spangles
Walls used to make a choc ice bar that was lemon ice cream covered in a crispy lemon fondant
Caramac
Rosehip syrup, used to be given it daily with cod liver oil
About the time Pot Noodles came out, another firm (? Batchelors) did tubs of beef or chicken curry with rice that you poured boiling water on. I’d love to have those made again, they were delicious

Sainsbury’s Swiss chocolate bar with a Marc de Champagne filling

M&S mocktail jelly sweets

Yes! Trio, Treee-ooh I loved those

Ferrero Fresco Mints

Cabana bars from the 80s. They were divine! For those too young it was a coconut and cherry centre surrounded by caramel, then chocolate.

There is even a Facebook group devoted to the fond memories of it!

You can make your own Andrew’s liver salts. There’s only 4 ingredients. Recipe is on YouTube if you Google it. Tastes exactly the same and very cheap!

God, yes! I dream about them. I used to dip them in my coffee when I was a student.

Lyon's cupcakes. They did orange,lemon and chocolate ones. I'd kill for a box now.

Waitrose do chocolate cupcakes in their fresh bakery section .
They are similar and I think nicer.
You get to peel the foil cupcake wrapper off and pick the bits of icing off!

Biotex is still available in Europe - and there are some stockists in the UK

Bio-tex Stain Removing Powder - Bleach Free 500 gram - Brandrefill Store

Coop sell their own. Just finished a bag!

Oh no, they don't do them anymore?! My family used to get them every week when I was growing up!

@TerrierCollector and @sueelleker thank you. I'm going to look for some tomorrow. And I'm not coming home until I find some :)

We were just talking about these 2 days ago. Both me and hubby (as kids) loved them!

The ONLY perfume i wear! I love it!

@Ginlovingmumof4 (I'm one of those too) - I used to love the flex stuff too. I can see it and smell it really vividly.

tyrozets!! Amazing got throat pain!

Kellogg’s Puffa Puffa Rice cereal
Coffee matchmakers
Coffee walnut whips
Walkers spring onion crisps

No one ever remembers these but our school tuck shop used to sell crisps called Chinese spare rib. They came in quite a posh black packet. Late 1980s, anyone remember these?

Also in the 80s, Waitrose bakery counter sold the most amazing brownies. Either chocolate or coffee varieties, they had thick icing on top and lots of walnut pieces inside.

Has anyone mentioned Ice magic?
It was a product I the 80,s that you poured on top of ice cream it was like a chocolate syrup that hardened on the ice cream 🍦

M&S used to to an amazing veggie enchilada that was in their freezer section, like in the late 90s/early 00 but I still go & check if it’s back!
