I wanted to ask a very specific question, but it's kind of silly starting a thread for it and so I'll throw a question out there. Who remember: The sauce ( chocolate - maybe other flavours ) that you squeezed as a liquid onto icecream and it set hard? I used to like that when I was younger. It maybe still around but I haven't seen it. So throwing the question out there, what foods/drinks do you remember from years back that aren't around anymore? |
Do you remember?

If you live near a giant Tesco you'll find it in the foreign foods section.

Registered 15 years agoYES!!!!! ICE MAGIC! Thank you. Might be near a Tesco on the weekend so will have a look. Cheers guys.
So any fond memories of food gone by? Blancmange? Mousse used to come in all kinds of flavours and was as popular as yogurt is now. -
Munch Bunch yoghurts.
Tube Crisps.
I'm sure there was a horror-themed Munch Bunch spin-off too, with vampire, werewolf and mummy themed yogs. Fucked if I remember what they were called, though. -

Registered 12 years agoyep, ice magic is sadly long gone, like my aforementioned much-missed pacers... 
also:
lincolnshire sausage brannigans crisps
some obscure sweet thing from my childhood which consisted of loads of little oval stickers with amusing messages on and a stick of gum in a packet...absolutely no recollection of what this was called (as its 30 or so years ago) and have never had any success finding out -

Anyone remember what those stick on tattoos were that you ate? They must have been so full of sugar because we would always fly around the house for hours whenever we had them. -

I swear Curly Wurlys were three foot long when I was a kid. Now they're barely even funsize. -
Same with creme eggs, though obviously not to such a degree, but they used to be so much bigger. And awesome. -

REALLY?!? I heard there were talks of selling the recipe, but I didn't know it was already done. They don't have them in my market yet, but it should be only a matter of time.

Farmer Brown's anyone? The crispy snack full of moo, neigh, woof, baa, and cockle-doodle-doo? -

Apparently still available by mail order.
But most of all:
These glorious bastards

I think it was them, the crisps - some amazing Lidl Mexican crisps that weren't the usual Doritos shit cheese/'cool' bollocks, but were spicy and salty and absurdly addictive. -
