On the back of the alphabetti spaghetti thread, what food or drink did you used to like, but they stopped making it?
When I was younger you could get sachets of powder that you mixed with water and it made about a litre of drink, different fruit flavours. It was called Rise and Shine and I loved it. I have no idea when that stopped making it because I just noticed one day that no-one sold it anymore.
Ooh, there were also these cheesy triangle things I used to like, I think they were made of potato and cheese shaped in a triangle and coated in breadcrumbs. They were frozen and you fried them. I think they might have had the imaginitive name of "cheesies".

I didn't let them drink anymore after that.
There was also a purely citrus flavoured version over here called Appeal, it was marketed as a breakfast drink.
*thinks this may well decend into the good old 'I remember them' kinda thread*
3D Doritos
Teddy bear ice lollies from the Ice cream van
Lucky Charms (cereals) with the little marshmallowy shapes in, They were soooooo nice, I was gutted when they dissappeared off the shelves! :crying:
You can get them in Selfridges, imported from America. Only £6.99p a box :eek:
The bats were bacon flavour, I remember taking them to school. I thought they weer called Horror Bags.
:eek2: \ :yippe:
Good job Xmas is coming up then!
You've made my day anyway telling me that! Thanks!
Which in turn reminds me of something you used to be able to get when I was a kid, Saucy Sponge! It came in all different flavours and you mixed it with water, bunged it in the oven and it separated itself out into a sponge on the top and a sauce underneath. Magic to an 8 year old!
Jaw Breakers and Eye Poppers.
My sister did that and I always would get so mad. But lucky charms are still around, bought some just last month And now they have chocolate lucky charms and they are delicious. And if I'm not mistaken they have berry lucky charms now too... or that could have just been a dream.
I really can't think of any food I used to eat thats discontinued... Usually if I think something is discontinued I just need to look a bit harder and its still there.
War heads maybe. I havn't seen those, but I havn't looked either, I just thought of them.
Well they listened and brought back the Roast Beef flavour!
What about the Smokey bacon one's though
OMG Chocolate lucky charms sound heavenly, I want some!! :banghead:
Too much Sugar for us Brits so they stopped selling them over here. You yanks still have them though.
Not really surprising when you have supermarkets the size of a medium town and whole isles of them devoted to 'salty snacks'. Where else in the world can you buy car tyres, clothes and virtually every processed food ever invented.
The cereal isle is better
And the cookie isle
And the frozen pizza isle...
Though the salty snacks one... they call it the chips ilse round my way... a whole isle of chips
Sorry, I'm bored
Jolly ranchers.
Those kind of triangular shaped orange drinks that you could freeze.
In sainsburys they used to do these kits which had all you needed in them to make a great home cooked meal - a bit like the cook range you now get in M&S but they would have the whole lot in so a chunk of meat, some sauce, some vegetables and some kind of potatoe or rice stuff and possibly a starter - they were great I don't know why they stopped doing them.
I am sure there are loads more but i can't think of them at the moment.
Things i can remember:
Big breakfast flavour golden wonder crisps.
Jolly ranchers.
Nerds.
(Cant remember the name of them but) long chewits with either sour or popping candy bits in them i cant remember which.
Chips with tomato sauce in the middle of them.
