I can still get Heinz curried beans, just not in the single serving tins anymore, just the large ones.
There used to be a little microwave meal pot by Princes with Tikka Masala which used to be quite tasty but I haven't seen them in over 7 years now. Probably just as well as they were most likely hellishly fatty and unhealthy, delicious though :kitty:
Also in the frozen food department, it's very rare to see Findus products. Anyone remember in the early 80s their French bread pizzas? They were yummy too.
I saw French Bread Pizza in Iceland yesterday when I was looking for bean burgers.
Viscounts, last seen in B&M , a superior biscuit IMO.
Does anyone make Farola anymore ? Loved that stuff, like a semolina or rice pudding except it was tasty and pleasant. I remember stirring it for ages and ages so lumps wouldn't form, lump free Farola was the perfect ending to the sunday lunch.
Panda Pop gone replaced by Panda Still Water which is just rubbish. Apparently too many colours and stuff, PC brigade struck again. (Early-Mid 2000's).
Ship them off to some remote island somewhere so they can set up their own colony with elected leaders and meetings and see how long it lasts before heated arguments

Turkey Twizzlers (banned because of Jamie Oliver {and you know my punishment/torture for the healthy eating Nazis involving take aways and being tied to a chair... Honestly, the way they go on, anybody'd think McDonads/KFC employ force people to eat items from their menus)

Does anyone know what happened to Castle Wyness ginger wine essence? Making my own ginger wine used to be an integral part of our Christmas, then one year it just wasn't around anymore. None of the other brands taste as good
I still mourn the day they stopped making that. My replacement is Barr Cream Soda, which isn't same but it at least satisfies my monthly craving.
I love Vanilla Diet Coke. Have you got a Burger King near you? Some branches have 'coke freestyle' machines which lets you make any flavour combination including vanilla diet coke!
I discovered this on a trip to London, it was every bit as amazing as I remebered
Not the same thing but I saw some people on Black Friday fighting over a telly called a Polaroid.
Same brand as the old camera company but not the same company I dont think.
Theres a few of these recycled brands. I think Bush and Bluapunkt might be 2 more.
The Bush brand originated in 1932 and is now owned by Argos as is Alba which had been around since 1922 and owned Bush as well as the rights to Grundig until 2010.
Argos call them sister brands but from what I can see the TV's seem to be identical but the price is higher on a Bush than Alba, though Argos seem to not be making Alba Tv's at present.

If you buy the unlimited soft-drinks at Harvester, you can use the Pepsico dispense system which mixes either Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, R.Whites, Diet R.Whites, Apple or Orange Tango with a combination of flavour "hits" (I suppose you'd call them), which includes Cherry or Vanilla (and a few others which I forget now).
So you can have Vanilla Pepsi.

Are Viscounts round chocolate and mint biscuits in a green wrapper? If so then you get them in Iceland. Normally in one of those wire bins they put in the aisle with special offers in them and to generally get in the way
Apple & melon J20 - typical as it was my favourite!
Pot Rice - think another poster mentioned this.
Cadburys Silk chocolate bars.
Dairy Box yoghurts.
Pacers.
Breezers - does anyone else remember these? Not the Bacardi drink but sweets wrapped like fruit pastilles but with a menthol flavour, I think they were red and green.

They still have Diet Coke Vanilla down under in Aus! I had a 2 litre bottle on a recent trip to Melbourne. Just wish they would have a Coke Zero Vanilla out over here. I hate the fact that now a days the only vanilla cola drinks you can get are "vanilla coke full sugar" or the vile tasting Tesco "xtra cola vanilla". I wish Pepsi would bring a vanilla drink out, to sit along side their Cherry Pepsi Max flavour, or as I say even a Coke Zero Vanilla would be great!!
Pot mash
imperial leather shaving foam
and Iceland did a thing called a snack pack which was potato wedges, onion rings, chicken dippers and chicken wings with a generous packet of tomato sauce

Yes, with £3.49 delivery. I used to pay 80p for it in Asda.
Anyway, I've since discovered Morrisons still sell it for 85p so I'm going to have a trip to Morrisons this week and stock up.
It's a complete rip off on Amazon.
I often see Mr Freeze wrappers dumped in the street in the summer months. Amazon sells it by the box.
I saw French Bread Pizza in Iceland yesterday when I was looking for bean burgers.
I saw boxes of Mr Freeze ice pops on sale somewhere recently, I can't think where though. It was probably Iceland or B&M.

Another thing I was sad the see go was Birds hot banana crunch, I miss those.
They are actually mentioned in the checkout training aswel because the cylandar need to be scanned a different way to be replaced.

Oh well, that's 1 for Delite and 1 for Spangles. We're hardly setting the petition world on fire.

I really miss those too. I loved them and thought they were much better than creme eggs.
