Food you remember from the 80s

[LeeUK]

There was a Leg Roast too which was cheaper and we had that one more often than the breast as we were too poor.

I love those but they get really sickly after a few bites. Love the bacon fries too.

Places like B&M and Home Bargains sell the Scampi Fries and Bacon Fries 6pks for £1 but the Cheese Moments are rare.

Yes! That was the one!

Anyone remember the giant Cornetto's, I think called a Magnifico. I can remember struggling to lift these to my lips.

Pyramint

These were strange. Like a giant after eight.

Anyone remember the mint opal fruits called Pacers?

Pacers yep. Toothpaste flavoured chews.

 

[cainer]

anyone remember Arrow chew bars? think they were more mid-late 70's
they had the head of an Indian chief on the wrapper and were the size of a modern day Wham bar but were only 2p each
i remember they had spearmint and a type of tutti fruity or fruit salad, not sure if they had other flavours

Yeah the 6 packs you can get in Poundland. I've only seen Cheese Moments in the local pakistani/indian shops/

Quick search says no one has mentioned Pyramints yet.

They were freaking awesome. Damn you Terry's for stopping making them!

I'd forgotten about these!! They were epic. Please tell me you can still buy them.

I thought they were great as a kid but I had one about 10(?) years ago and it was rubbish.

Anyone remember Sky ice cream bars? Kind of like an Aero with ice cream around it sealed in chocolate. They were around before the traditional chocolate manufacturers started producing ice cream versions of normal chocolate bars (Mars ice cream etc).

Like Fun Bags???

Surely you and I can’t be the only straight guys that get a far away look in our eyes at the mention of Fun Bags?
I am reminded of a time, sitting in a beach bar on the Algarve, when I saw a well endowed blonde, topless, on the beach.
I nudged my friend Bill, who was reading the Telegraph, and nursing a cold Sagres beer, “Bill, check those fun bags.”
He didn’t even look up, just murmured, “See two Jean, you’ve seen ‘em all.”
