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!

Omg!

Anyone watched the queens nose or the demon headmaster? They haunted me in my dreams!!

Me! And round the twist. WITHOUT MY PANTS

Panda pops! I was banned from having the blue ones as they sent me loopy as a kid. Used to get one every Friday along with a galaxy marble

I loved The Queen's Nose and The Demon Headmaster. The theme tunes make me soo nostalgic.
Also loved Sleepover Club... it was an Australian show on CITV, I think.

Tammy Girl was SO good. I also liked MK One.

I miss Blockbuster. Nothing like going to pick out a video and getting some sweets!

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.

Yes. Nightmarish. My gran used to buy medicated loo roll too.

Loved the sleepover club! I remember the theme tune
And California dreams was a fave. Kids TV is totally not the same anymore

OMG I used to love Puff crisps. Can anyone remember chocolate cigarettes they used to be individually wrapped in white paper and come in a box like proper cigs.

Phone boxes
Video shops
TV guides - the only people I know who have one are my grandparents.
Penny for the Guy on November 5th (not seen anyone with a guy since I was a child and I’m almost 30)
Lollipop men / ladies (I live in fairly Central London so I’m sure this contributes, my husband says they’re definitely not extinct)

Lancashire still has lollipop men / women outside schools

Snaps!! They were really thin chocolate and were so good. Honestly used to buy packets with my friends in primary and eat them all!
