Salsa flavoured Mini Chedders. I had a rather unhealthy addiction to them, but haven't found any for years!

In the 90s you could buy a peppermint schnapps called Rumpleminze which was extremley popular in Northern Ireland (sort of like Jagermeister is today) and I absoleutly loved it. Can't get it over here anymore though it still exists in other countries.

I also loved Starburst Joosters, Secret bars, the dark chocolate Bounty bars (do they still do them??), Creamola Foam, the Sun Pat Peanut Butter/Chocolate spread in a jar they had in the early 90s, beer glasses (jelly sweets), Lucky Charms cereal, Funny Face, Fat Frog and Squeez Up ice lollies.

I miss Trios. I also loved Lyons chocolate cupcakes, I saw them on ASDAs online site the other week and was so excited but when my order came they'd been substituted for crappy ASDA brand cupcakes and apparently they aren't in stock now. I live in hope though!

My local take-out greasy spoon had them in not too long ago (from Booker's cash and carry) and I once found a can in Jenners in Edinburgh, randomly enough!

also has Sunny Delight drink been discontinued?
calling it a drink is a bit risky. They tried to return it to the shelves but only masochists bought it. It's not on the shevels at my local supermarket any more!

Shame as if I'd had a bad day I used to shake my fist at it.

I used to love Penguin Flipper-Dippers, I'd eat the dip and give my sister the boring biscuits.

I remember Toffos (fruit was my fave) and Vice Versas, why on earth did they discontinue them?!

Burton's Fish & Chips
I don't know if Burtons make them, but the fish and chip savoury snacks are still around. In this part of the country anyway. In fact, I can't say they disappeared.

I love 'em!

As with some of the posters on there, they remind me perfectly of the post swimming snack. And given that I used to swim at least twice a week when I was a child, I rarely went very long without a packet.

Chicken and chips weren't as good.

Years ago my mum used to buy these individual chocolate desserts in little pots that had a little flower swirl of cream on the top - I think they were frozen?
Never seen them since! Back in the days of arctic roll (which I have seen recently)

M&S done these wonderful crisps "Burgers and Chips", they must have stopped selling them about 10 years ago but they were the best crisps ever.

I rarely see T Bone Steak flavour Roysters or 10p Quarterbacks anymore but when I find a shop that sells them I buy as many as I can.

Also bring back...

Lucky Charms.
Golden Grahams.
Refreshers and Fruit Salad fizzy drinks.
Tizer Ice - it was very refreshing.
Tescos Balti wafer thin chicken.
Beer sweets.

Anybody remember Thunderbird wine?
You could get a red label and a blue label - not sure what the difference was!
I remember it was really sweet and got you drunk (not that I ever drank it !!!)
