Which foods,, toiletries etc do you miss which are no longer available?

Horlicks tablets

Original Smarties (the present ones are not the same), we used to use the red ones as lipstick!

There was a little known bar named Milky Lunch. Lovely with nougat and crispy layers.

Panyan pickle. Like Branston only nicer.

Panyan pickle was made at Maconachies in hadfield Derbyshire opposite our school and it stank!! Not at all like pickle! My auntie worked there and she got free jars and Sunpat peanut butter too!

When I was a child Cadbury's used to do a bar of chocolate divided up into 6 sections, each one had a filling from the Dairy Milk selection. There was a strawberry one, marzipan, coffee cream, orange cream and I couple of others. It was a special treat and was much cheaper than a whole box of chocolates.

Ooh Deedaa I had forgotten all about that

Tiffin chocolate bars
Clarnico Mint Creams
And,like Hazelgreen, I really miss Germolene. Not the insipid version in a tube on sale nowadays but the dark pink stuff in a can that is no longer sold. I used to love the smell.

Amplex roll on deodorant.

For some reason, it’s no longer available.

Proper dripping and the right potatoes to make homemade chips like my mum made.

The long venison pie they used to sell in W*******e. Chocolate Oliver biscuits seem in extremely short supply if available at all. All year round Dundee cake (only seen in F** and M* at a high price out of the Xmas season): W********e seem to sell it only at Xmas.

Proper dripping am

Germolene!! am carefully guarding a precious stock ... aging well!

Damdee - it doesn't, I bought it!

They re-released Aqua Manda but no idea if it smells like the 70s one.

You can get Ponds cold cream on Amazon. I miss the boxes of Weekend chocolates and candies.

Havoc perfume

Clarnico mint creams, Café Noir biscuits, those clothes that you found that fitted and looked good but had disappeared when you went to get another one.....

Going off at a tangent - why does coffee never taste as good as it smells?

WELLA Shades in Warm Red

A sort of colour shampoo in a sachet which would do me 3 washes, which was not permanent but if used regularly kept my hair in a nice chestnut/auburn colour without using hairdressers etc, no roots and left it shiny The only equivalent is a Superdrug one but it's nowhere near as good as this one was.

Peanut Cracknel out of Quality Street- always wrapped in a blue foil wrapper.

Hetty. Coconut ice is very simple to make. When I was a child before the war used to make it and toffee on rainy days.

Thick pork chops with kidneys in!

Hetty. Coconut ice is very simple to make. When I was a child before the war used to make it and toffee on wet days.

The large bars of Imperial Leather soap. The small ones last no time at all in the shower

Bright green mint cracknel and Kunzle cakes!

Rowntrees Texan chocolate bar. There is one for sale on eBay for £100 and it went out of date in 2006!!!

coffee creams in dark chocolate. cant remember the make. coffee cake without flipping walnuts , black licorique boot laces, not the red things, and the little hard kind that we called spanish. Oh and yes wonderful white crunchy celery grown outside and with that lovely root bit. all our family loved that and so it was either a squabble over who had the last one or cutting it up into very small bits and share!

Aztec bars, bar Six, and Gypsy Creams, (which would very likely have to have a name change now), Fuller's Cakes.
