Yup, sadly there wasn't enough demand for them
I used to love the pink grapefruit flavour *mouth waters*I saw boxes of Lucky Charms in Selfridges in Manchester- £7 per box
Vice Versas! I remember those, everytime I mention "minstrels but made from white and mik chocolate" because I couldn't remember the name, people think I've imagined them as though I spend my day making up chocolate
Can anyone remember (back in the 80's I think) Findus made some Crispy Pancakes with a fruit of the forest ( I think) type of filling, I can remember having some as a kid with a scoop of ice cream on top but no-one else can remember them 
Or maybe my mum was trying to poison me

yah they weren't THAT good! lol... I've seen them on sale for that kind of price before, at those shops that import loads of sweets etc...
Does anyone remember astro's? I found them at this shop in Croydon.
Ahhhhhhhh Cabanas. I loved those. Judging by the amount of times it's been mentioned they should definately bring that one back!!
Also, gone but not forgotten.
Fizz Bombs, they used to make my mouth explode they were so fizzy!
Puffa Puffa Rice cereal.
Betta Bars. Rice bars covered in syrupy stuff. Lully!
Liquorice wood. Twigs that tasted like liquorice. lol
Bones salt and vinager puffy crisps. Bit like Wotsits but in the shape of bones!
Hubba Bubba.
There's a shop not too far from me that sells all the old sweets, some of which have been mentioned. I might just have to pay them a visit now!!
**drools**

Pink Panther chocolate bars - soooo pink
Also, we sold an ice cream called Hearts - that was a heart shaped choc ice on a stick that had vanilla ice cream and raspberry ripple inside.
I am sure about 20 years ago there was an orange ice lolly that contained vanilla ice cream in the centre.
Anyone remember a Lord Toffingham?”

Astros- were they the little round chocolate covered crispy things? Like the crispy M&Ms (also discontinued IIRC- although they were very sickly!)

I bought a pack of these a few weeks ago and between me and my son they didn't last 2 days!!!!!
However, the Kellogg's version, Corn Pops, was just just as nice and appears to have been discontinued in the UK at least. They had a yellow and blue box - haven't seen them in donkeys..... http://www.canadaonly.ca/images/cornpopsx.gifI also miss Cadbury's marble bar - that was well nice! But unfortunately it's gone down to hell. (It only sells in Australia!)
http://www.mikescandywrappers.com/ph...e_can_1202.jpgI can never find any lemon sherbet these days either. I seem to remember it got banned, 'coz teenagers kept sniffing it!!!
And where is Sunkist?! "Drink it in the Suuuuuun - Sunkist is the one!!!"

Did anyone ever try the CHOCOLATE topped Ninja Turtle pizza?
I wished they would bring Heinz Haunted House soup back. It was pasta shapes in tomato soup rather than the usual thin sauce they come in. Lush!
Not that I liked them, but does anybody remember E.T. cola flavoured biscuits?
They were GREEN and came in a pack of three including a free E.T. trading card to promote the film. Tasted vile, but I remember them well.
