    Theyve been brought back now full time I think. Had some this afternoon
    Yes, indeed they have. I saw some scampi and lemon flavour nic-naks in a little sandwich shop yesterday. Needless to say I bought a pack to go along with my sandwich.

    Only 35p too :D

    Just watching 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang' and the 'Toot Sweets' bit and it reminded me of 'Whistle Pops', anyone remember them?

    Matey bubble bath is still around. I saw it going really cheaply (about two for a pound) in Superdrug sometime late last year. Was so tempted to buy some.

    Half the things that were still around when this thread was originally created probably aren't anymore.

    My mate used to roll these up and shove them in her mouth whole. I don't know if that was the cool way to eat them but it always made me feel queasy. :o

    Not a product, but those big charity donation boxes where you put the coin in the dome and watched it spin round and round in a spiral until it went 'clunk' and fell through the hole. I haven't seen one for years now.

    Does anybody remember a few years ago you could buy a can of coffee (mainly in petrol stations) you pushed a button in the base and shook for about 30 secs and it magically became boiling hot?

    There used to be a couple of Taco Bell branches here in the late eighties or maybe early nineties. One was in Wembley - can't remember where else. I loved their bean burritos and cheesy fries :D

    There was one in Leicester Square in the 80s too.

    Oh my I just made two posts almost exactly the same as I did in 2006 lmfao :o
