Things in life that have just quietly disappeared

Puff crisps. Used to get them at the tuck shop in Primary School, very small crisps. Can’t really explain them haha! Went one Friday to the tuck shop full of anticipation and they were gone, never seen again.

Were they just weird little things filled with air?



Also frisps can be found in home bargains!

Moondial. Loved that on cbbc (or The Broom Cupboard as it was called) I found it on YouTube a few years ago, still loved it. There was a cbbc programme that I remember but can never think of the name. There was a boy and there was a big centurion statue in the garden. The boy would go into a wooden shed type thing with steps leading up to the door. Sometimes the cork on the cord of the blind would tap the window and a ghost would write things on the window. It's been bugging me for years what it was called!!
Tubes crisps
Crazy football crisps
Tudor crisps
Cheese straw crisps
Piglets crisps
Asda cream cheese and chive crisps
Spar ready salted crisps (they're not the same now)
Can you tell I was a crisp addict?
Bitz chocolate
Bar six
Generation Game
Big Break
Nintendo Gameboy

I could go on and on!! I want to go back

Is anybody else old enough to remember that horrible loo paper that was essentially tracing paper? We had it at school. Deeply unpleasant. Not sure if it still even exists.

ahh the good old scrape and shine

Sara Lee chocolate gateau, there was always one whipped out at the boxing day brunch

The Mary Kate & Ashley dolls & clothing line in Asda.

There's so many things in this thread that made me feel nostalgic! Definitely miss all the magazines like mizz (remember they always used to share a story or dilemma that they thought was made up?), sugar, bliss, sabrina the teenage witch magazine.

I think this is my favourite thread! So many memories.

Can anybody remember these fizzy drinks that came in a clear can with little orange jelly balls floating around?? To be fair could of been our shop, right dodgite place! Sold single fags to all the kids for 25p


Cotton candy that turned into bubble gum
Cheese snaps
Ending any notes to friends or love notes with ‘IDST’ (if destroyed still true)
Tazo’s...with all the Warner bros characters on.
Jelly shoes & the blisters that came with them!
All the girls wore the same black school trousers, tighter the better up top but flared. They were basically made of elastic and would bobble on the bum ‘bum fluff’ so you’d have to singe it off with a lighter.

Those trousers!! Everyone at school used to say it looked like pubes when the elastic started to come out
And if they got wet in the rain the flared bit would expand like hell!

Anyone remember The Gadget Shop
