Going from the lazy foods thread, some foods were mentioned that remind me of a food I desperately wish they'd bring back - Pizza Rollers (buns with pizza filling inside, guaranteed to burn you up like lava, but oh so tasty).

Are there any foods that you wish they'd bring back?

For me, as well as Pizza Rollers;
Pretzel Flips, Big Red Chewing Gum and Marshmallow Fluff - can be bought if imported from US.
Ghostbuster's chocolate bars - long thing chocolate with Calpol flavoured purple goo in the centre. BEST THINGS EVER!
Secret Chocolate bars - chocolate nest with marshmallow fluff centre.
Purple Wonker bars - purple chocolate with green nerds.
Wonka Xploder - milk chocolate with exploding candy.
Chesters Cheesy Popcorn.
Fish 'n' Chips biscuits.
Prawn cocktail wotsits.
Refreshers soda.
Zap ice lolly.
Sea Pearls - fish version of Bernard Matthews Mini Kievs.
Golden Grahams cereal - like Cinnamon Grahams, but honey.
Kinder Milk slices - milk spread between ginger cake slices.
Frufoo Fromage Frais - strawberry fromage frais with alien toy.
Frufoo Schokoufo's - chocoaltes with Frufoo framage fraise in centre.
Um-bongo - apparently this is now being brought back, yey!
Fab Ice cream - vanilla, strawberry sorbet, chocolate sauce and sprinkles.
Fab blackcurrent - like a Fab lolly only blackcurrent flavoured.
Strawberry and Blackcurrent Jaffa Cakes.
Orange Kit-Kat Edition (the giant Kit-Kat with organce sauce) - apparently here in the UK we miss out on LOADS of different Kit-Kat flavours, we also seem to miss out on a lot of different M&M flavours too :(
Zig and Zag crisps and juice - crisps which were nothing special but contained a little prize envelope, guaranteed prize each time of things like pieces of string or paper clips...which at school age was just the most awesome thing ever, and they had a juice like Mr Blobby juice which was a juice carton with little bits of jelly inside the juice.

Opal fruits (not starburst). where the green & yellow were two separate sweets and the colours and flavourings weree artificial damnit.

They probably still do them but I haven't seen them for ages- the chocolate/marshmellow poptarts. yumm.

Turkey twizzlers just to piss off Jamie Oliver.

Luckycharms in the uk, they were cute as hell and have reminiscent value.

chocolate pretzels.

I've seen zap ice lollies, um bongo and orange kitkats all loads! Caramel kitkats are the best, I could sniff them for hours.
&zig and zag crisps with prizes sound awesome- why did I never get those:(

I've seen something similar to Zap's but under a different name.
They had a pure juice version of Um Bongo in ASDA, but apparently now the real one is back too...so gonna have to watch out for it.
Gah, not a fan of caramel, you can happily keep those, lol.

Texan bars.
Toffos
Mint Wispas
Terry's Waifa.

I'd also like to go back to the time when there were lots of smaller British companies making sweets, before they were all absorbed into Nestle and Kraft etc.

I'm sure I could come up with more, but that is all I can think of right now.

I wish they still made coke that doesn't taste like crap. But I suppose it stops me from drinking it. I swear that Mars bars tasted different as a kid.

I think most confections now are very untasty, cos they keep the costs down by adulterating the recipes.

They don't sell those in the UK? We have them over here.

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).

@ Bloodheart,

Wow I am amazed at all the sh*t you crave, I'm feeling nauseous...

But, whatever blows your hair back honey...

I want them to bring back golden delicious apples so I can pick tree ripe ones in late autumn... umnnnn... [eyes roll into back of head homer style].

peace j
