Food you remember from the 80s

I was just thinking, can anyone remember the space raiders crisps from the 80s which were coloured? The beef ones were red, cheese orange and pickled onion green. Not sure the colouring did your heath any good mind which is probably why they took it out.

Smash potatoes
Cheese KP Dips
Pot Noodles which tasted nice (extra salt)
Vesta packet beef curry
Nerds

I had a healthy childhood

Is there anything which was really popular, which is no longer made? I remember wispas was stopped for a while only to return.

Gob stoppers the size of your head. If you swallowed one of those it was curtains for you!

Quality Streets and Roses.

I was shocked at Christmas at how pathetically small the tins are now.

Heinz Chicken & Mushroom Toast Toppers! My dad worked at Heinz in Park Royal, London so as a child I used to get tons of the stuff for free and it was godly until they ruined the recipe decades later. You can find tins in the odd european store here and there but they just aren't the same.

another one I'd forgotten about!

- Cheese Moments (nowhere seems to sell these anymore)
- Quattro fizzy drink
- Cadbury's Creme eggs the size of chicken eggs and not hummingbird eggs
- Little greenish-black, aniseed-flavoured gummy worms. Not seen these in about 30 years, but they were awesome.

I bought a card stacked full of cheesy moments and bacon fries from Amazon last Christmas
