Can you still buy Kelloggs Ricicles ? I can never see them in the supermarkets

Indeed, because they are twice-icles and nice-icles.

Old Jamaica - mmmmm!

But haven't they brought it back. I think I recall mentioning in a thread a while ago and someone supplied a link for it. Although it wasn't 9p any more!

I was not happy when they decided to make Walnut Whips in a mould instead of piping the chocolate, they didn't break apart properly when you eat them. .

That's what happens when you let frigging accountants run the show!

Wasn't it great when the TV went blank each night? I liked that. It was like a universal message saying that day time was over, it was now night, and night time was different. You could go to bed, read, draw or have a party but you were in a different world from the daytime one where people watch TV.

Then I used to listen to radio Luxemburg, now there is always Sexcetera on TV!

Edit - Or Cyclechat!

Wagon Wheels - the original big 'uns. To be honest, they were always "quite crap", but nevertheless remain in my memory as a proper weekend biscuit.

(Some will argue that the Wagon Wheel has not become smaller over the years, but rather we have gotten bigger. However, I don't ever recall thinking that chocolate digestives or KitKats have shrunk over the years, so I stand by my argument that the youth of today are being short-changed by Burton's biscuit-designing accountants)

Lemonade powder. A little in the palm and then dab your tongue in it.

There was the powdery stuff in little plastic bags or the crystals measured out from a jar which made your tongue sore.

And when diluted in water it made a refreshing, still lemonade drink.

Tudor crisps - hot dog and mustard flavour!

How on earth could I have failed to mention these visions of beauty from my youth....

Hold the tomatoes, add condensed milk. Sorted.

Evaporated milk for me

Evaporated milk for me

OK, OK, but what about condensed milk. Fussles made it, didn't they? The lady in the shop would ask me which brand I wanted "Nessles or Fussles". Ah, the joys of making fudge.

Dunno, Carnation for me!

sherbert in paper tubes with liquorice

Saw these the other day in my local mini co-op(with plastic over the liquorice) - not sure who manufactures them now, I'll look next time I'm in.

Hmmmm remember this

I use to love sipping a hot coffee with a chunk in my mouth and letting it melt then chewing the raisins before the next chunk / sip happened.

check out the price too

As Mort mentioned I'm sure they brought this back - along with "Country Crunch" the checkered wrapper(little bits of crunchie in a chocolate bar). I think it could've been a limited edition though,damn.
