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?

M&S Chicken Pakoras. I could bloody live on them. Every time I’m in the shop I have a look just in case they’re back!

Tescos used to sell frozen mushy peas. They were amazing

Morrisons do frozen mushy peas. Just like my mother used to make before they came in tins.

Frish toilet cleaner, didn’t smell like toilet cleaner, but fragranced the whole bathroom when it was used.

Sara Lee Gateau. I really do miss it.

Topics.. were my favourite chocolate bar.

Lux soap flakes for hand washing woollens. Flyte bars, like a diet milky way! That brunette shampoo with conkers / horse chestnuts on the bottle, body shop 2 in 1 foundation and powder compact. I feel full of regrets now!

Drifter bars, BN biscuits (I know you can still get them but don't think they're the same) angel delight how it used to be with all the different types.

On the apple theme-I just found out Morrisons have stopped doing their apple filled doughnuts! 😱

Oh and there was a chocolate popcorn thing that came out a while back but wasn't round for very long. Purple and yellow packet I think-anyone know what I mean? I loved them! Whyyyy do they get rid of the best things!

All mine are food related 😆

I miss the originals, too!
Nearest copy I’ve found is Branston baked beans and sausages, it’s a good sub for Heinz.

I loved that cheese and celery sandwich! Idk what they did to the celery, maybe it was soaked in salt water or something, it had the perfect texture, crunchy without being hard, stringy or watery. I’m not a great fan of celery normally.

In the 90s I lived on pink grapefruit Calippos. So delicious and refreshing, just a touch of bitterness.

M&S egg and tomato sandwiches with salad cream and coronation chicken. Plus the sub rolls especially the beef and onion ones.
Would live to visit an M&S store in England because I'm not sure if stuff we used to get is no more cos of Brexit and the Irish Sea Border. You sometimes see items with labels saying not for the EU.

Vienetta Summer Fruits, I look for it every summer

@TreeSturgeon no it would not be unreasonable for you to email M&S and ask them to bring back that sandwich and I would appreciate it if you did

@GellerYeller strawberry sandwiches 😳 are they high?

Fuse bars
Sara Lee Black Forest gateau
Fairy liquid with bubbles that lasted
Tesco frozen mousses, came in a long plastic bag, about 10 pots...delicious
Sugared almonds, not seen them in years
Texan bars

Dolce and Gabana perfume with the light blue lid. Does anyone know a perfume that’s similar?

They have astros in South Africa!

Ice Breaker. A bar of milk chocolate with crispy minty inside.

Joosters jelly beans

Tesco llama bites (crisps)

Yellow matenium cream

@Lurkingandlearning D&G Light Blue? It’s still made, or do you mean another fragrance by them

Them raspberry ripple mousses you were mentioning to defrost them but I always eat them frozen.

Yes! Joosters! There used to be a chocolate sandwich bar form of Hobnobs when I was growing up- it had this set white cream inside (a bit like a custard cream) and was coated in chocolate. It was so very good! It’s probably for the best that they don’t make them any more as I wouldn’t be able to stop eating them.

Ben and Jerrys did Oatmeal Cookie crunch ice cream. It was a cinnamon ice cream with soft, chewy bits of flapjack running through around 2007. It was so good.

In the mid/late eighties, Sainsbury’s used to sell their own brand cream cheese. It was in a deep, round tub and looked similar to Philadelphia, but tasted unlike any cream cheese I’ve come across since. It was absolutely gorgeous. I used to buy tubs and tubs of it whenever I was in Sainsbury’s. I still miss it, 30 odd years later…

Also the late eighties, at around the time that the problem with CFCs really became an issue, Vidal Sassoon started selling pump bottle hairspray. It was scented with this really lovely almond smell. I wish they’d sell it again.

Galloway’s cough syrup - thick, almost black and really aniseedy. It was really nice dissolved in some boiling water and sipped slowly if you had a really bad cold.

Rimmel Rich Raisin lipstick. It was one of the few shades that really suited me and I have never found any other lipstick in quite the same shade.

Cheese moments and calypso shots!

Ooh! I used to love cheese moments.

Knorr chicken micro noodles
MorningStar farms veggie bacon
Pound bakery used to see a veggie sausage roll that tasted and had the texture of a Greggs meat one. Then they changed it to vegan and it’s disgusting and inedible.

MSN messenger and yahoo games. Spent hours talking to weirdos via both when I was a teen. I miss them.
