vanilla coke! yes!

does anyone remember the mandarin flavoured lilt? I loved that!

ohhhhh off the subject of sweets..... did anyone ever have Chicago Town stuffed pizza slices? I'mnot sure if they still do them, I've not seen them so I think not, they were a triangular pastry stuffed with cheese and some tomato sauce. They were soooo good before they changed the recipe and then they tasted like everything else of its kind.

sorry they were just SO GOOD!

I miss Jolly Ranchers. They were so so gooooood.


Did anyone ever buy Sainsburys hazelnut and pistachio luxury yogurts a few years back. I've never found anything quite like it ever again.

I love Jolly Ranchers too. I brought back 4/5 bags from New York in April, and I still have a few left. You can get them from CyberCandy.

Potato bake (they still do the pasta bake but I haven't seen the potato one for years and my kids used to love it)

Also there was a bar of chocolate that had different flavours through it eg. strawberry creme in one section, coffee, mint etc. Haven't seen that for years either. Anyone else remember it?

"Chef Square Shaped Soups show how a good soup should be"!!
I loved their Chicken Noodle.

What about Heinz Souper Mug? They were a concentrated soup in a square container similar to the ones you get for dipping sauces in burger bars etc. I often why they don't try them again as they could make them with fewer additives than packet soup!

I used to really like Birdseye Lovely's. They were like thick melted chocolate puddings with a blob of cream on the top. yummy.

Also as a kid I used to like Glees, but hardily anyone remembers them. They were in a purple packet and were fruity little chewy balls, a bit like Skittles, but not as brightly coloured.

I'd willingly trade 5 minutes of my life just for one more bag of the good old fashioned Walkers Cheese and Onion.

What happened to Trio's? I liked them. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=kD0b0uW37oQ

Creamola! Does anyone remember this? It was a sort of creamy smooth custardy semolina type pudding....and it was a lot tastier than that sounds!

They're not the same, I bought some and was terribly disappointed, originally they were all smooth.


Does anyone remember a box of chocolates called Something Special? They were in a cube box which was a deep deep purple/black colour with a pinky purple flower design - very 70's

And what about the Lime Keg in Terry's All Gold, they were lovely.
