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 😭😭😭

Growing up around here we used to have a guy that came round the streets selling bags of whelks, mussels and candy apples. You don’t get that anymore.

Also, ice-cream vans. Haven’t noticed one about here in years. Used to love staying with my nana on a Sunday, she’d give us a £ each for the ice-cream van and we’d come back with loads of sweets.
we still have an ice cream van. And he parks on the corner at school , costs us a bomb in summer .

Ice cream trucks (they were really vans?) used to sell soft serve ice cream.

Freshen Up gum

Fruity Stripes gum (I believe it can still be bought online?)

Blockbuster
A&W restaurants
Drive-in movie theatres
Godfather’s Pizza (lost its popularity)

Weird memory...The highchairs w/ white trays at McD’s w/ the plastic bib for kids & the little bag of cookies (they eventually realized that nothing should come free & I bet ppl were taking the cookies) ....not sure if Burger King still offers paper crowns to kids.

Turkey twizzlers, vanilla ice cream flavoured monster munch, panda pops especially jelly and ice cream flavour, getting toys in cereal, Saturday morning cartoons, clear Pepsi, and I never see kids out anymore, we were always out in the holidays or weekends, don’t see many kids out on bikes or scooters on Xmas morning either.

Playboy bedroom or groovy chick bedroom, inflatable bags, slide up phones (I feel so old😂), buying a tracksuit from the market and trying to pass it off as real😂 (I’m not a chav I swear), going half’s on a pack of cigs with your mates, drinking on the park on Friday nights, girls wearing ribbon in their hair (2004 fashionnnnn)
