Highlanders crisps used to do a blue cheese flavour. You could only really get them in the highlands (strangely enough!), and now I don't believe Highlanders even exist any more. They were yummy, crinkle cut like McCoys but much more finely cut.

Oh yeah, Pacers (used to be Opal Mints)

also Cabana, Wispa, etc”

OH YES! Now that brings back memories - my sister, mother and myself used to go into town on a Saturday and would always buy one of these for Sunday afternoon. It used to get started on the bus on the way home. I really wish they would bring this back.

My other wish is for Rum n Raisin Ice Cream - I can never find it anywhere anymore. Iceland did it in choc ices last year but have not had it at all this year.

It's one of the most popular brands of Chocolate in Europe!
You can buy quite big bars, I think almost 1KG in Woolworths.

I have a German sister-in-law, she's always bringing me back big bars of their different flavours.
