I think every nans biscuit tin in the 80’s was stuffed with Blue Riband, Viscount, Clubs, chocolate bourbons and custard creams.

I seem to be the only one of my friends that remembers Logger. A bar of chocolate characterised by having a pattern akin to a tree trunk.
I miss McDonalds Root Beer though.

Cheese and onion ringo’s and football crazy crisps and choc lick
Yes ! And the smoked ham and pickle flavour are incredible. They’re still available in my local sweet shop.

I remember the advert. Wasn't a fan of the chocolate.
A Terry's chocolate bar. Got chunks and hunks of Terry's taste. A better bar by far.
He's got a logger bar he's alright let's hope he gives us all a bite

Mouse in the Freezer section. Came in stacked bags of 8 or so. I prefered the Mint version
Vesta Beef Risotto. Solid sustinance for a student. I keep my eyes peeled in supermarkets for this and occasionally spot Vesta Beef Curry or Chow Mein but the Risotto seems to have have been discontinued
Oh yeah, my mum bought us those super mousse quite often, very nice.
And beef risotto was a favourite of mine, I used to buy those quite often. Yeah, I struggled to find it, I think it can be bought online at one or two places.
Hah yeah, I remember Abbey Crunch. Weren't they a bit like hobnobs?
I've got a box of Golden Nuggets. Absolutely rubbish now, nothing like as good as they were when I was a kid eating them in the 70s. Obviously our tastebuds change but these are definitely not the same recipe.
I remember these, and I used to get Jamboree bags, they were great fun.
Toffee Yoyos! Used to LOVE those.
Here's a bunch of oldies I remember, a lot of them from the 70s. Anyone remember Bar Six and Aztec bars?

Macintosh's Golden Cup

Galaxy Counters

- 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.

Hedgehog flavoured crisps. They tasted like chicken crisps mostly.

Gino Ginelli Ice Cream - I only found an advert from the 90s, almost certain it was sold in the late 80s. My mom used to get it regularly from the Birds Eyes own shop where she worked in Grimsby when they had a factory here.
