    Starburst flipsters!

    Also noticed a lack of white chocolate stuff lately. Im sure a few years ago at xmas time we bought loads of mcvities white choc digestive biscuits as they were limited edition but not seem any since. They sold them a few times but now cant find them anywhere.

    Tea leaves, just looked for them today. None in store and no room for them either. Not a small independent retailer either, or an express store.

    BN biscuits.

    They are being re introduced now. You can buy them in Tesco's.

    Glenville Ice Pops. Even the classic advert seems to be nowhere to be found on YouTube, as if the product had never existed!

    I noticed this, I love white chocolate. Was sad to see Echo bars go.

    Only a very tenuous link, but Terry's also once did a Baileys style liqueur in the 80s - Chocolate Orange flavoured Irish Cream. I notice Baileys do their own now.

    Diet Coke with Lemon- was tasty, what happened to it.

    There used to be a Diet Coke vanilla as well (they brought the normal version back, but not the diet)

    Anyone remember Baked Beans Pizza?

    Relentless inferno energy drink ( was orangey flavour ), was sold for years was by far the nicest energy drink off any then all off a sudden it was replaced by other flavours none of which are anywhere near as nice.

    Odd that more people don't remember these given their Anthea Turner wedding infamy... as a Flake eater I was a fan of the Dipped version, though I guess Cadders felt they were redundant given they were essentially just a Twirl Chunky.

    On chocolate, are red Bountys still going? I only seem to see the blue ones kicking about round my ends these days...

    I used to love the Cadbury Milk tray bars (other than the horrible coffee creme blob). They disappeared a long time ago sadly...

    Some Cadbury's Chocolate based history here.

    Found out today that Smash instant potato is back to its powder form. It used to be in clusters.

    Red Bountys are still available, like lots of things on this thread, they've just disappeared from the shops!

    There was something called a Snowflake, which was a white chocolate flake covered in regular Cadbury's milk chocolate.

    Heinz cake in a tin that you microwave. They did jam ones, sticky toffee and chocolate.

    I've been really craving a chocolate one recently but My local Tesco no longer sells them, neither does my local one stop or corner shop. I think a trip to Sainsbury's is in order soon, cos I really want one :(

    Pretty sure I saw these on sale in the last couple of weeks but mysupermarket says no.

    Maybe Poundland?

    Maybe its disappearing now? :o

    Looked for a certain type of biscuit for hub, which Tesco used to always have, but no more, and couldn't find them in Sainsburys' either. They were circular, chocolate sandwiched 2 biscuits, for special occasions, can't remember who made them, but they were recognisable.

    Black peperamis very rare indeed.
    Exotic fanta is pretty rare.
    Vanilla Coke was for a few years not so much now.
    Mint dairy milks and mint Terry's chocolate orange
