Stuff that don't exist no more

[bsa_man]

Whilst talking to my girl this evening over a not so quiet pint of stout, the conversation drifted onto sweets , crisps etc that used to exist in the past but can't be sourced any more. Things that I used to enjoy were little sweets called tabs (2p per packet and shaped like a small brick not £2.50 a pilll), creamola foam, top deck shandy, crisps called piglets in the shape of a pig made by KP, and the like. Anyone else got any classics that are gone but not forgotten? Also whay have KP changed the flavour of their Salt and Vinegar nuts?? :confused:

They used to sell them mainly in pubs in the early 80's.

Tab clear was the best cola ever mmm :D

I used to always enjoy the pop man coming round. Sasperella or traditional lemonade were my favourites, and you used to get 10p back for your bottle :D

[Jim Mcrae]

Used to always get my whaam! bar at school. Are monster munch a different shape now, or a bit smaller? And where did the hot ones go, as they were even better than the pickled onoin ones??

[bsa_man]

I think I saw Whaam! bars recently! Monster Munch have gone old school again, bigger size and have brought back beef flavour, though I must admit I miss the flaming hot. Anyone remember Jolt cola and Secret bars? They were like a chotlate lattace with a sort of creamy inside.
