Over the years many food (including crisps, chocolate and sweets) and drinks have been discontinued. Here are some of the ones i would love to see back.

Tudor Crisps - especially the Gammon & Pineapple and Cream Cheese & Chives flavour
Secret Chocolate Bars - by Nestlé
Club - Pomegranate Flavour - by Britvic Ireland and previously by C&C


What ones would you like to see come back?

Cabana chocolate bars - Coconut with bits of cherry, topped with caramel and covered in chocolate.

Cresta soft drinks - The orange one please. "It's frothy man!"

That'll be me happy.

Tudor crisps. Bloody hell, there's a blast from the past

I wish Creamola Foam would come back. Used to love that stuff.

I'm going quite far back but I would like to see Bar Six and the Milk Tray chocolate bars brought back.

Also a few years ago Walkers brought out cheese flavoured crisps and I loved them.

If you have a home bargains nearby they stock Golden Wonder usually at a very good price.

Tesco ready salted crunchy sticks (the thicker fluffy ones, not the really thin ones). Ready salted chipsticks are ok but not as nice imo.

When I was little (maybe around 15ish years ago) I used to get these crisps and I can never remember what they were called. I think they were cheese and onion flavoured (not sure if they did others) and really small pip like things which were hollow.

Worst description ever but I used to love them along with the fish and chips snacks from my local corner shop.

Similar but M&S Salt & Vinegar ones. I was addicted to them when in my teens.

None of the supermarket versions are anywhere near the same quality, mostly in texture, as they were.

Same goes for Onion Rings crisps these days. Not as good as they used to be.

I remember them, were they called something like potato puffs?

Just reading through this thread and we certainly like our biscuits and crisps don't we? I still miss Trio chocolate biscuits and I can hear the advert for them in my head as I type

McVities Pizza Slices.


I've posted about them before and didn't know if they were McCain's or McVitie's but I had an inkling that they were McVitie's although they're known more for buscuits and the like.

But just did a search and someone's put an ad up on Youtube

I only remember the Cheese & Tomato ones but at the time I thought they were great!
