Things that used to exist and now don't...

Drinks that were called twist and squeeze I think, got kicked out of class as the teacher was going on about them and I just shouted out "Do the twist and squeeze", whole class erupted into laughter but teacher not amused!!

Going live with gordon the gopher!!
The clown test screen on bbc when nothing was being broadcast when I got up as a kid in the morning!!
 
The TV soap opera called Neighbours. That used to be all the rave when I was a kid in the 90s. I don't know if it stopped airing but no one talks about it now. It's all X Factor, I'm a Celeb, Big Brother etc.

Delia Smith has kinda gone too, in favour of Jamie Oliver.

Gini, a bitter lemon fizzy drink that I only saw during the 90s.

Raleigh "Wildcat"-type (and Cub) bikes with the battery operated bleeper in the middle of the handlebars. Everyone down my street had one of those in the late 80s.
 
That clear fruit drink with the little jelly balls that used to float in it.

Monster munch that used to turn your tongue blue/green/red
Vice-versa's!!!
 
The things that hang down from the back of a car to stop people getting car sick.

I saw an old car with one on a few years ago and was flabbergasted. Loads of cars had then when I was a kid.
 
Also these threads always turn into "things you haven't noticed for a while because you're not six anymore but DEFINITELY STILL EXIST AND ARE FREELY AVAILABLE IN EVERY TOWN IN THE COUNTRY" which is a shame.

The little rubber "domes" that you pushed inside out with your thumb, put on a surface, and then a few seconds later they catapaulted themselves to the ceiling.

Branningans crisps (can still be found, but are like rocking horse excrement).

Roads without 20 limit signs on them.

They sell brannigans at the shell service station just down the road from me.
The beef and mustard ones are unreal. :D
 
WRT OP, It is my belief (Based on personal observation) that White Dog poo is produced by Dogs that are actually capable of eating the bones that are given to them (And I don't mean simply gnawing on them! I Mean crunching up and swallowing)

We have had a number of Staffies over the years and they were all enthusiastic bone eaters (Great big Cow bones would completely disappear within minutes!) A few hours later the Concrete Dogs Eggs would start appearing on the back Lawn!

I have always thought that next to Pigs, a pack of Staffies would make a pretty good job of disposing of a Body! :D
 
White poo comes from excess calcium in the dog food. I think the bone thing is true, I think they used to grind it up and add to dog food to bulk it up, but they don't any more because dog food has to be made from human grade meat now.
 
Do they still make those crisps where the salt came in a separate little packet for some reason?

I dont understand the white dog poo, what happened with it?
