chocolate choux

Does anyone know when the old style ring pulls on cans changed to the new ones? The old ones would come off completely and leave you with a sharp piece of metal. It’s no wonder why they were changed but I’m wondering when it would’ve been as I only vaguely remember them

Also why does no one else remember Turbo Tango?! It was Tango infused with nitrogen in a kind of spray can. I think it was only available for a few months around 2011/2012. The texture was so smooth and foamy. Always wondered why it was discontinued

Yes Nutty Tart too! I’m sure it was Bubblegum or something..

I think Bang on the door was groovy chic etc, the one EVERY girl had their bedroom decorated in

Ah the good old days

Hi there chuck

No I still see the original crossians in my tesco, Morrisions still.

Panda pops disappeared
Pick N mix in corner shops, even though I would never get them with the germs!
Wagon wheels

Wagon wheels still exist, I have a pack in my cupboard, although I’m sure they may have shrunk over time

Going to your corner shop with your empty drink bottles and getting money back for them.
Blockbusters. I use to love going to hire out a rental. always use to see someone you know and could have a chat in store. Have a nose what people were hiring out

Phones now have so many tones to choose from people just don't bother with their own anymore.

The era of the polyphonic ringtone peaked with the crazy frog ( that might not have been actually defined as polyphonic but still part of the same trend) A few people cashed in quickly when they could and it’s like it never happened.
I imagine the loss of interest is because phones are capable of much more now , so that sort of novelty doesn’t appeal any more . Thank god for the sake of bus journeys alone ... for a few years there was alswags someone going through the ringtone options for a while in the early 2000s. Not just kids either ...

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

Also, TY beanie babies. They aren't the same now.

Glitter Babes products from Boots were my favourite growing up. Not sure if they're still around.

OMG!! I loved exactly the same things as you! Sabrina magazine was amazing, did you build the make up kit in that purple box?! And there was hair tutorials!

Glitter babes was everywhere! They do still have a v. Small line at boots 3 4 2 at xmas.

Did anyone collect spice girls photographs? They were in a white envelope and you got about 5 in a pack. I also had the album to put them in. I was gutted when they stopped doing them!
