[Gratuitous reminiscence]What discontinued food do you want back?

Yeah, belies the Monster title nowadays. Probably kids with cut lips threatening to sue the crisp companies.

What, have they disappeared too?

No, but other than Space Raiders they're the only pickled onion snack worth having

I find Spira's really hard to get hold of these days - hadn't seen them for ages then rediscovered them at uni in Swansea. Since leaving uni 18 months ago I've yet to find them again

Another shout for Cinnamon Grahams (if they have gone, they may be under a different name) and Pretzel Flips.

I don't know if I ever drank Tab Clear, but I certainly remember it in the shops. One of those classic 90s things.

I have cravings for all kinds of things now, I think I might have to look into getting some Mountain Dew shipped. I had my first can in Japan last October and it was great stuff. Would really suprise my mate too as he really likes it.

Willy Wonka nerds..I have to buy them from ebay, usually from the states

I assume the colourings they put in are probably outlawed in the EU..but damn I love them

I noticed somebody linked to a UK site selling them...but at £1.05 a packet!

I can get them from an ebay shop in wisconsin and it worked about about 60p a packet including shipping from the states!!

I just used to order 12 boxes of each flavour ( and a couple of cinema style size boxes of the everlasting gobstoppers which are superb as well)

Can you still buy Cinnamon Toast Crunch?

Nearly every sweet mentioned in this thread can be bought from here and delivered direct to your door. I've been a member for a couple of years now. Enjoy!

Cinnamon Toast Crunch was rebranded Cinnamon Grahams about 2-3 years ago, its now been rebranded again this time as Seriously Cinnamon.

Kinder Eggs with proper toys inside, they were like mini airfix models complete with stickers and all.

Not a chance, I'm not that much over half your age and I know them well

Indeed, a quick google shows that the mini ones were only withdrawn from Celebrations in 2006.

Nerds, they where brilliant little things

I forgot to mention Burger King's Mushroom Double Swiss, blooming loverly and sadly missed.

Eurgh

I made them for over a year. Disgusting, smelly, rancid things.

Sic · 4 Feb 2008 at 16:12

you can still get Topic, in bar and celebrations form. Aren't sweets awesome?!

I miss those pretzel flipz, secret, cadburys astros, joosters (had no idea you couldn't get these anymore, probably a good job though - they used to make my mouth go funny!)
