Things in life that have just quietly disappeared

[cushtybert]

You can get a 6 pack in Asda for like 1.70 that's quite nice!

Ohh no I’ve tried it, far too weak

Campino sweets and Ice cream flavoured chewits. I can confirm lollypop men and women exist in my town to the person that asked haha. Also, I wonder where the sweet van that sold fags, milk, bread and essentials that used to drive round my hometown when I was a little girl disappeared to. Did anyone else have that shop van drive round the area they grew up in?

You can get a pack of 4 ice cream chewits in B&M

OK, is anyone else young enough to remember the Sabrina The Teenage Witch magazine? I LOVED it.

Meee The first episode came with a purple glittery makeup/storage box..

Remember when first episodes of magazines were only 99p and then £5.99 thereafter.. I always just bought the first episode and none after that

Generation butthurt is killing my soul. You’re scared to have a sense of humour these days or so much as sniff without someone jumping on you for it.
