.. Arctic rolls. 
I thought they died out in the early 80s, but they sell them in my local supermarket (Waitrose, obviously, dahlings)
And! Apparently Um Bongo is still a thing too! Like I haven’t seen that for YEARS but Google tells me it’s still being made!
What surprising things from back in the day might surprise us to know you can still get?

Oh and aniseed balls are still alive and well too!
But the ones I had a few months ago no longer had a seed in the middle, it was a little square block instead. |

"Party ring biscuits. Still with that extra sweet icing. 
I had those at my birthday party recently.....
Unfortunately we forgot to put them out, so I had to eat the whole packet! "
Terribly sorry for you having to take that drastic step.  |

Star Bars. I remember the ad from the 70's of a single Star Bar at the bottom of a huge crater. I also remember them being rebranded as a peanut boost. I had no idea they'd made a return under their original name.
They're gorgeous. |

"Fray Bentarse pies ? I’m only suggesting so I could type the word fray .."
My husband used to love the steak one of those. It was more like gristle than steak |

You do still get goblin puddings, those little yellow tins of insipid dough filled with dog food
That’s what it smelled like |
