Discontinued things you wished would come back

[Birdyohseven]

Burton’s Potato Puffs! I LOVED those little crisps!

I was thinking about these the other day!!! They were sooooo good x

 

[StormSolitaire]

Original Trio bars. They've made a comeback but don't taste the same.

Trios, Clubs, Digestives switched from animal fat to vegetable fat in the late 90s or early 00s which definitely explains the taste difference.

 

[anonimus]

Yes I loved those little cans!

WELL SAID!!!
They also did one called chocolate soda and I remember the
Refreshers
(Can I say) Black Jack
Hubba Bubba
and the Nemesis one to coincide with the Nemesis ride at Alton Towers

New York Seltzer drinks

I can never find the right phrasing to even Google this but maybe some remembers it.

It was a hot cereal you made up with milk (maybe water), smoother than porridge but that kind of taste. It came with a blue and red plastic beaker with a screw on lid, so you could have breakfast on the go, I guess (even though it leaked). I remember taking it with me to school a few times in the mid-90s.

Love this thread! I miss mint wispa, golden cup bars and galaxy truffle eggs, does anyone remember those? I also miss the chicken New orleans sandwich from greggs, that was delicious!

 

[HowlOwl]

Boots All-day Breakfast sandwich made with baked bean bread. The bread was a lovely orange colour and the sandwich was stuffed with egg mayo, bacon, sausage and tomato relish. Very unhealthy but yummy.

Boots used to do a sandwich with a sort of orange slightly spicy mayo, kidney beans and lettuce on brown bread - I loved it.

 

[bubbadabut]

MTV when it ACTUALLY played music you mean??? I had MTV Europe back when the BSB was replaced with Sky, I was in heaven because of MTV but we lost access to MTV Europe and it was replaced with MTV UK, then it went tits up.

Same, MTV Europe was ace and had the best VJs too. Was definitely a turning point when they became MTV UK and diversified into all the different channels.

 

[Kthxbye]

Maybe it was lilac. Or grey. It’s definitely not available anymore anyway - searched every duty free and perfume shop when have had the chance

There was Armani diamonds in the lilac glass bottle, or Armani remix in the round metal bottle, like the normal Armani? (Both were so nice!) Diamonds is still available, Remix isn't

 

[Mavis Cruet]

I'm glad im not the only one, id eat one with squirty cream then wonder why I'd feel sick.

A Dominoes pizza and chocolate cake for me. Never felt sick, it was bliss! Everyone used to be astounded at how much I could eat and still stay tiny - mind you I swam every day and was very active so not that amazing!

 

[jarv]

I miss dominos double decadence

 

[Jeferson34]

Anyone remember these biscuits where they were covered in chocolate on the outside, on the inside the top layer was a layer of bubbly chocolate on top of a biscuit. They were rectangle in shape I think. Not aero biscuits, or echo.

I cannot remember the name of them, but I do remember they were tasty

So, I'll add those things to the list! Haha

I loved these. I also loved m&s layered chocolate. It was dark milk and white. It was lush.

 

[Keylimepie99]

Woppa Bars
Frosties
Smiley Bars
Postman Pat Sweets

 

[Souffle]

Ben & Jerry’s One Love ice cream.

 

[Xjd991X]

Mars Delights were incredible!
I’d bring back the mojito flavoured 7up as well.

My local shop sells this!

Fabulous baking boys cupcakes
Original timeouts (new ones just don't do it)
Green cream soda (my partner says I'm crazy but it was a thing got it each week from the milk man in a glass bottle)
Jumpys (kangaroo 3d crisps) - I only ever found them in my local swimming pool vending machine many years ago
Campinos

These burgers from iceland so good

This water from Icelands i even emailed the company asking where they sell it but said it wasn't a good seller so discontinued

 

[thegirlscout]

The Fabulous Baker Boys chocolate cupcakes. So yummy

I used to eat the sponge first then the chocolate. I didn’t realise they discontinued them!

Echo and Bingo chocolate bars

What?! They got rid of Echo bars?!

The original Puppy In My Pocket. The ones that had bore real life resemblance to various dog breeds - there was also a Kitty variety. I had a massive collection as a kid and remember wanting to source some for one of my sons a few years ago. I swiftly gave them a miss, the new ones are repulsive and they've been Bratified, just as what they did to My Little Pony.

In a similar vein, new Barbies are such a poor replacement to the ones of the 90s and early 00s. I’m nit talking about the height/size/disability aspects because I actually think it’s great they have become more diverse. But the finish is so appalling. I’ve got my niece 4 Barbies over the past 3 years and their hair is always super messy and unfinished at the ends. I have to trim it to make it tidier for her. Just looks so slapdash and rushed out (plus they cost so much for such a poor finish). Think I’ll turn to Lottie dolls instead next.

 

[kittymeowlondon]

are boots big bottles of cologne they did in rose, lavender and bergamot discontinued? cant find them anywhere....

 

[Amyx1518]

Marmite mini cheddars

Unlike the branston pickle ones. What happened to them??

Ordered some Golden Drummers from Morrisons. Always a good meal. Our school canteen used to do them, so at break we'd use our status as 6th formers to jump the queue and get a really greasy one on a bag of chips. By 'we' I mean 'I'. I started to put on weight around this time too...

 

[orlyb1310]

Ice cold melonade in the summer I miss u xx

Ice cream Chewits
Cadbury Marble
Tango sour chewy sweets... the apple ones were incredible
The old 90s recipe of Refreshers (the round fizzy ones, not the chewy bar)
Riesen, although Lidl do a great version

I am still outraged that the Galaxy Truffle got replaced with a bloody Twix (a glorified biscuit!!) in Celebrations.

Also... Fairy have ‘improved’ their Original scent and it’s so sweet it makes me feel a bit sick. It used to be fresh and clean smelling, now it smells like cheap squash.

Ice cream chewits definitely still exist!! And I'm sure you can get tango sweets (not sure if they're the ones you're looking for though) in b&m/home bargains/poundland. They're always like 10 for a pound.

Natrel? I’m sure that had a jungle themed ad

Ohh maybe I really can’t remember but I’ve got AO in my head for some reason. I’m sure the theme tune for the ad went O-A-O, O-A-Ooooah
