Those are my favourites they definitely popped up in a multipack a couple years ago (it also had a strawberry shortbread one in there, and something else). Whenever I see them I buy loads!

These came back out when I was pregnant a few years ago and it made my life - so sad but I always hoped they’d come back since I was a teenager

impulse zen body spray is the smell of my early teens, I wonder if it’s still available

pina colada frys chocolate cream - I sometimes wonder if i imagined these. Used to spend all my wage when I worked in the paper shop eating these, they were delicious

We had MTV europe too when we got cable, I loved it. Otherwise it was VH1 or The Box for music channels .MTV uk was just trashy tv wasn’t it, no music at all!

Does anyone remember rapture tv on cable? Used to show a lot of skiing and snowboarding but every few hours played music mtv style and was always really good house and dance music

Care bear bars i think they were orange flavour inside, he-man choc & carmel bars, scribblers ice pops in pencil shape, golly bar ice cream, and panky bars i think thats what they were called square wafer covered in chocolate covered in silver foil type wrapper & blue paper wrapper. Golf balls bubble gum, Angel delight sums up my 80s childhood!

Hair mascara I used to run my wand of blue hair mascara all through my blonde hair. What was I thinking then as my hair got darker, I bought an awful yellowy blonde hair mascara to give myself highlights...

Also it may not be discontinued but for obvious reasons I don't look for it anymore however did anyone used to buy spray on glitter hair spray? I'd spray a load over my hair just in time for the school disco! I dread to think what could have happened if I walked past a naked flame haha

Avon 'Pretty Peach' perfume and talc.

I feel every young girl should have it as a right of passage. I remember it being the first thing my Mum bought me from the Avon catalogue when I was little.

Prize Bar

They still make these, but they’re Walkers brand

And all this talk of Wella shaders and toners and hair mascara! Ha! I can still smell that hair mascara

Can you imagine 12 year olds rocking hair mascara these days? Not a chance, they all have perfectly preened eyebrows and immaculate GHD-curls

I still dream about those Boasters, so bloody good!!!!

I don't often eat biscuits so I don't know when they were discontinued but when I realised I full on fumed for days

Thankfully my 12 year old isn't like that, she likes to straighten her beautiful curls luckily her school headteacher stands at the school gates with makeup wipes so nobody really wears it in her school

Ah, the 80s. I used to go to Brownies on a Wednesday night. My aunt used to pick me up afterwards and give me 50p to spend in the local shop.
Out of that 50p I got: a 20p fizzy drink, a 10p packet of crisps, a 10p bar (Smiley, Klipso, Wham, Macaroon, etc) a 5p strawberry Pink Panther bar and either 5 penny sweets or 5 penny golf balls.

Can you imagine sending a poor kid to the shop these days and giving them 50p!

Secret chocolate bars ... they were like a delicate cage of chocolate around a chocolate mousse.
And years and years ago, in the 80s they had cheese flavoured hula hoops, not cheese and onion. I can still remember the taste.

For some reason it’s stuck in my head that I once asked my mother for a Secret in a shop when I was kid, but she wouldn’t buy it for me cause 45p was too much for a chocolate bar

I'm nearly sure I saw this in the garage near my house recently! I wasn't brave enough to try it.

The large dream bars from b and m.. I bought one 2 weeks ago it was €5 and it wasn't great. Its from Australia.

I can actually feel this in my mouth right now I definitely saw some a while back on amazon or something, I think they were from UAE but you had to buy a fairly large box.

Does anyone remember in Woolworths they had little mini cans of juice at the pick n mix? They used to do a mr blobby can and I’m sure it was pink lemonade or bubblegum? It was amazing
