Old stuff that they are bringing back

Matchstick after-dinner chocolates

Matchmakers surely.

I've had a space bar for the last 10 years. e.g. " ". See? Have I missed something?

I'd like to see Tesco Onion Rings return to last year's formula. This year they're crap.

I agree 100%. I loved them - and then they ruined them and the taste now makes me gag.

Tried Onion Rings from a few other stores, but they're obviously all made by the same manufacturer and they all taste the same now

Was that the stuff that crackled in your mouth? Anyone remember 'Metal Mickey'? Someone missed a great opportunity when they never marketed 'Atomic Thunderbusters'!

They did have 'Metal Mickey's Atomic Thunderbusters' sweets. My brother and I used to get them from the ice-cream van that came down our street.

"Boogie boogie, my little fruitbat !" Metal Mickey was a great series for kids. Produced by Mickey Dolenz of The Monkees. iirc.

Corona Cream Soda in a glass bottle (with 6d deposit back on the bottle as well)

Wow, yes! We used to put ice cream in a glass and pour the cream soda on top, then consume it with a spoon. The result was amazing - possibly a bit nauseating now, but at the time...

Plus, as you say, these were the days when recyling glass bottles really paid!

Cresta....it's frothy man !!!

Actually, we never brought it to drink, we got it to put sugar in.....whoa Then you'll see frothy, all over the table, everywhere

Jublies.....(ice lollies - not the other ones (lolly ice's for our Scouse mates)

You can get them from Morrisons, but they are tiny...... or have my hands grown...?

I once saw a mobile chip shop in Scotland - it was a converted ambulance.

There is a "mobile" chip shop in the village just along from us, it is a massive lorry (without being a expert I am sure bigger than you can drive on a normal licence)

It does not actually drive round the place but parks up in a different place every night. One of my routes home goes past it and you can smell it as you come up to it, every time I try and work out how I can get a chippy home on by bike without it getting stone cold (and ending up all over my pannier)

Terry's Neopolitan - the tiny chocs individually wrapped!

They're just about the same thing these days - both used to transport large amounts of lard about the place!

IMHO all soft drink cans went downhill when they changed to the new ring-pulls. Do you remember the ones that came apart, and you could launch the round, ring, bit with the bit that covered the hole? They used to go flying off like little circular spaceships

Yeah I remember those, they should definatly bring those back.

Blimey, hadn't thought of those ring-pull missiles in years! That's something else I can bore the kids silly with!

and, in similar vein, 500ml cans of coke.
