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 Pecan Pie slices.

Illégale by Alyssa Ashley … found it … now to see if I can actually find it to buy 🤔

Gio perfume. Not Aqua di Gio which is just bleugh, actual Gio.

Waitrose Keralan chicken fry in their ready meals. It was a favourite of the whole family. Recently stopped appearing and is much missed in our house.

Apple and plum cordial by Bottlegreen. It was so refreshing with sparkling water

Yes agree. In fact it's almost impossible to find any squash not tainted by bloody sweetners these days.

Birds Eye Potato Fritters
Potato Rosti’s (I remember buying them at Tescos in the 90’s)
Sayers wholemeal pastry vegetable pasty (90’s)
Wheelz Nibbits - from Kwik Save, Mexican spice and onion & vinegar flavour (80’s)
Quorn family sized quorn and mushroom pies (90’s)
Bitsa Pizza crisps (80’s)

Chesswood creamed mushrooms . “Real” Lucozade with sugar not grim sweeteners . Birds Eye cod portions in sauce which were an easy healthy (ish) tea for me .

Food related: Burger King Mushroom Double Swiss burger and Wimpy did a quarterpounder with cheese in a wholemeal bun with an amazing pink sauce (!). The original Crispy Pancakes (modern ones are rubbish). Also, not sure who made them, but you used to be able to get (early 80s) a selection of frozen choc ices the size of chocolates you'd get in a box. And now I've remembered frozen Super Mousse!

Other things: Body Shop as it used to be, gel hair spray being easy to find and clothing made of natural fabrics. I was shopping the other day and so much felt horrible and synthetic.

Burger King mushroom double Swiss. It was truly divine.

@itsnotagameshow Woo! What are the odds of us both posting about the exact same item from 20+ years ago at the exact same time???

Jamie Oliver black dhal with fennel seeds. Healthy, filling, delicious. I had it every day for lunch for months and then one day it was just gone! 💔

Spangles!

Monsoon perfume in a blue pyramid walnut whip bottle with maroony pointy lid.

The only one I’ve found is Belvoir blackcurrant which just has fruit and sugar in it, no sweeteners. It tastes quite like the old Ribena.

M&S used to do a banoffee cheesecake that was SO good - haven't seen it on the shelves for years

M&S chocolate Swiss roll with the thick white buttercream. It was a weekly treat in the 70s and 80s and I can’t recall the last time I saw one. It was in cellophane not a box and the outside of the cake used to stick to it.

The old cylindrical Smarties tubes with the collectible plastic lids with letters

..

Chocolate garibaldis
Bodyshop leave in conditioner
Boots hair gel from the 1980s (can't remember it's name, it was green and in a tub)

Cremola foam! Core memory unlocked! 💜

Waitrose uses to sell little icequbes for pims with frozen cucmber and strawbweey. I used to love them.

Im aware I could make them but its not the same.

M&S did a green make up base layer it was a powder. Never found one better to cover red on the face. Its been discontinued likely 20 years or so.

Do Henry not do upright version?
