.. Opal Fruits. Down with Starburst!
And Marathons.
And why oh why did they stop making Spangles and Quatro (a mixed fruit flavoured fizzy drink for the young 'uns)??
I'm starting a campaign to bring things back as they were in the good old days before they meddled with everything and made everything crap.
Cif!? Everyone knows it's really Jif! Come on! 
What else do we add to our campaign! |

"Bring back things in their proper sizes. Sick of them downsizing all the time....have you seen the state of Yorkies nowadays "
 They used to be the chocolate bar for Men didn't they?
And Wagon wheels - can I rant at how small they are these days (even though I haven't had one in about 20 years!  ) |

"Cadburys Spira!
"
ah yeah I remember the days when you were spoilt for choice - a Spira or a Twirl!?
Not sure why the Twirl survived by Spira didn't (well, other than far superior sales I guess!  )
They brought back Wispas, you never know the Spira could be resurrected! |

Anybody remember secret chocolate .... I have never tasted chocolate like it again... Even if I find a 20 year out of date bar somewhere I would eat it |

"Lynx Alaska fragrance, used to always wear it in the early 90s (during my clubbing days) Stopped that line of fragrance years ago."
You can still get it - the overseas brand is Axe Alaska. I got some in Cuba. |

I got that a few years back but it didn't smell like I remember, plus it didn't last very long. |

It's the letter writing, incandescent with rage, to the manufacturers that takes up most of my time |

For that Spangle feeling just drink a little bit of Olde English cider and pop a few Razor blades in your mouth and the Memory of Spangles will come rushing back  |

"Findus Crispy Pancakes!
Morrisons sell Russchian,it tastes like peaches. "
Still sell findus crispy pancakes, just the boring minced beef flavour though. Chicken curry ones were the nuts.
Bring back birds eye mega grills and mega burgers. |

Full size chocolate snacks, like Mars bars etc. And if I buy a 4 pack, make it a pack of full size bars, not teeny ones, shrunken even more than the standard sizes have been shrunk. And I'd prefer not to buy packs of gas, inflated so you perceive there's more product inside.
Soon fun size will be equivalent to standard size - enough is enough! |

I literally still salivate at the thought of Cabana bars, plus Fry's Five Centres. I also miss the gooseberry creams and peanut cracknells you used to get in Quality Street. In fact, so far as chocolate us concerned, quite apart from the fact we all know they've shrunk sizes, what the hell has happened to Cadbury Dairy Milk ? It's been vile since Cadbury was taken over .... a nasty gloopy oily sludge in your mouth that's vaguely sweet but doesn't even taste of cocoa. And of course it's used in all Cadbury bars so has made old favourites like Crunchies etc taste foul too.
Nothing like a good chocolate rant!
Also miss Cydrax, I used to love that stuff .... which apparently is only now produced in Trinidad where it's considered a celebratory drink. There's a similar Irish drink called Cidona but it's not quite the same.

I remember getting a 1/4 bag of tiny gummy bear type sweets for just a few pence. Really showing my age now. |
