Yes, these were lovely as was the nutty bar you posted earlier.

Sticking with the horror theme

They're like the He-Man jellies, they were addictive as fuck, what I imagine smack to be like.

[RJ Fan club]

But the ones you got in quarters. They were dome shaped, pricey in quarters but lovely

I actually googled he-man jellies and they came up

Watney's Party 7. Did you ever manage to open one of them without most of it spraying everywhere?

Party Seven’s making a comeback. Albeit in a mini keg, not a tin

They're the fellas right there. Honestly can't explain how nice they were.

I'm getting a bit (internally) emotional posting this. Memories of my late grandad coming to ours every Thursday when we were kids. He'd always stop off at the Leo's on Park Road on his way and bring a bag of goodies for me and my brother. A multibag of crisps, Mars Bars and always a couple of cans of this (below) . Then, he'd play sit down footie with us. He had a false leg due to an industrial accent, so would kick it with his good leg and our through lounge arch would be the goal. 

 

Then when he was getting off, we'd race him to the top of the street, us running, him in his little blue Invacar. 

 

Happy, simpler times. 

 

Oh, and not a product that's gone, as such, but they need to bring back the old recipe Sugar Puffs. The new ones are bloody awful.

Orange flavour? Should be cow pie flavour surely.

Ginsters Deep Fill Double Cheese & Onion sandwich. Cheddar, Red Leicester, red onion and seasoned mayonnaise. So much tastier than a prepackaged sandwich had any right to be.

 

Ginsters Mozzarella Cheese Salsa Deli Bake. These were only available for a short time around 2005. Nobody except me seems to remember them, which is probably why they didn't last long. The benchmark against which I measure all savoury filled pastries.

 

Greggs cheese and onion quiche. From the early 2000s. I know what you are thinking - Greggs. But these tasted like a premium quality quiche, with unbelievably crisp pastry. And they were 80p or something. 

No, i'm thinking that you really like cheese.

There was a "chew bar" from the mid 80's called "striper" which was essentially one whole bar but with four or five different fruit flavoured segments (the ad had a song that went "striper! five times the flavour, Striper! five times the chew"), hard to find any evidence that they even existed. Maybe i dreamed it?  

 

NB Turns out I didn't

Anyone remember Jolly Rancher sweets? They were all the rage when I was at school.

Shoot magazine (or was it 90 minutes??) gave one of those away for free one week but it was renamed Striker.  Then when I saw them in the shops I was really confused by the name of it.

I first had these when I was in school in Australia and had lots of big business dreams of making my millions bringing back bags of these and selling them to class mates. They only did the sour ones here but in Australia they also did hot ones. Proper childhood machismo.

M&S years ago used to do these fizzy/sour sharks in a yellow packet. I can't find a picture of them but my nan bought me a bag once and I may as well have drunk battery acid.

Penny spanish sticks with the flat end. You could get the soft stuff or the rock hard stuff. I always thought the hard stuff tasted better and you could jab some cunt in the eye with it if they were hassling you in the school yard. The floppy stuff was no good for that!

 

Liquorice sticks were quite good.
