I'd like to see Spaghetti-Os on the market again. That was the best tasting tinned pasta.

Do drinks count?
Because green tea frappuccino was the only drink I ever got from Starbucks.
Seriously, I see dozens of Starbucks all over the place but none of them seem to sell it anymore.

Toffo's...am I right in thinking they're the ones that came in fruit flavour, the banana one was lovely!

Oh, and original Smarties too - the ones you get now taste more like those really cheap chocolate-flavoured candy you get in really cheap Easter eggs, no longer taste like proper Smarties...plus the new tubes suck! Bring back the old Smarties tubes, and the old Kit-Kat packs so you have the foil to rub down (and to use for a DIY bong - foil for bong and munchies for after).

Yes, they came in banana, strawberry, mint and original. I think. They were just nice and soft.

Most sweets nowadays are smaller, massively more expensive, poorer ingredients, and made by companies I dislike.

Do you remember chocolate tools? I used to buy them when I was about 7 or 8. You could get saws, spanners, pliers, hammers and more. They were 3p each in the late 70s.

I used to enjoy getting 10p lucky bags as well.

I ate far too many sweets when I was a child. In Northern Ireland they used to practically shove them down your throat. It set me up for a nice sugar addiction.

I used to accept deliveries of Starbucks food and drink in my last job. I don't remember a green tea frappuccino, but I used to quite like the strawberry ones, despite seeing the list of horrific ingredients in them.

Could be worse - something else I miss, but would never wish to bring them back; chocolate cigarettes.
The ones that were chocolate/chocolate candy in sticks with white cigarette styles papers wrapped around them, and they came in boxes like cigarette boxes. I used to always go for the ones with the big red dot on the front of the box, basically the ones made to look like Lucky Strike cigarettes...guess what my brand of choice was when I was a smoker...lol

I don't think we've had those in the UK, not that I've noticed. Chocolate flavoured sodapop sounds interesting.... so it was like coke or something, only chocolate flavour?

Chocolate covered Kendal mint cake. Now that was addictive. 10p a bar when I was at school.

yes, it was available in the late 1980s in Canada.

it still exists but is not available here now.

I wish they still made coke that doesn't taste like crap.

I prefer mexican coke in the glass bottles to the canned coke.

Fried macaroni and cheese. It was one of my favorites, until the fast food places around me stopped serving it. It's been a few years since I've had any. I miss it. :cry:

Kraft brand Mornay... it was pasta in mornay sauce, and it was amazing.

Mama Rosa's Mini Pizzas. The first food I ever learned to prepare on my own (read: microwave). I still remember exactly how they tasted too. It's probably the reason why cheese bagels are one of my favorite foods.

Oh and French Toast Crunch. Three words: Best. Cereal. Ever.

The only thing I can really think of is cheese in a can. I thought that stuff was a blast. I have no idea if it is still around. Most of the candies I used to enjoy are still being made I do believe.
