What I do miss is Coca-Cola in 500ml cans. Used to buy them at the corner shop when I was flush with pocket money.

You can buy it in tesco.

Breakfast crunch, i think that was its name. It made a sort of hot breakfast cereal with a crunchy topping. Came in lots of flavours with my favourite being butterscotch. Absolutely immense.

The modern equivalent of the 80s snacks never tastes quite the same as the original after they've swapped sugar for sweetners and removed all the e-numbers

Like comparing a creme egg of 2019 to a cream egg of 1989 - a completely different product, just with the same name.

Findus french bread pizza!

Terry's Neapolitan chocolates. Used to love these, especially from the fridge.

I think both Kia-Ora and Um Bongo would fall foul of the PC climate these days. Especially their adverts!

findus crispy pancakes! You had to be bloody careful as the fillings could give you blisters.... like molten lava!

I'd forgot all about those. They were excellent.

A lot of the pick and mix chocolates were great ! White mice, skulls, fish and chips. Haven’t seen them for a long time.

Texan bar. Used to put them in fridge so they went rock hard and took forever to eat then.... Ahhh... The early 80s....
