What did you expect?LargeAddick said:
oh no, when my wife kept saying Sainsbury's didn't have it I just thought it was sold out but you are right they have stopped making it, back in 2018 !! Not a happy bunny finding that out.Hal1x said:I was surprised to find that you can no longer buy Shield soap, my armpits need this to get rid of my hideous funk. Over the years some of my favourite groceries have disappeared such as Start breakfast cereal and Vesta Chow Mein (fair enough it was horrible) has anyone else suffered from discontinuation of favoured requisites, or is it just a sign of my old age.

From memory the original Smiths crisps which included the blue salt bag predated the introduction of "Ready Salted" crisps.SporadicAddick said:addick1956 said:Watney's Party 7 beer,

As I recall it was a little bag that was twisted closed, in other words not a perfect seal.
Sometimes moisture got in and your salt would be caked in lumps.
I guess Smiths phased them out when ready salted came in, but the beauty of the salt bag was you could choose how much salt to add, or none at all.
When Walkers reintroduced them with their nostalgia marketing the salt was in perfectly sealed square blue packs, which I am sure was progress, but they bumped up the price and called them Salt & Shake.
I like plain crisps occasionally and often discard the salt pack.
Another thing with the old Smiths product was the frequency you found multiple salt bags in the packet!2 -
Smiths Hamburger Flavour Crisps.
Anybody remember them? I think it was one of their first flavoured crisp lines along with Cheese and Onion0 -

Start was my favourite cereal as well. RIP.
Phileas Fogg tortilla chips are sorely missed as well. Absolutely pissed all over Doritos and any other ones you can get now days that don't even taste like tortilla chips.

I recall 70s Ritz cracker canapes with a tuna (I think it was Tuna) spread I really liked. I don't think you can get that any more.0

Smiths tomato crisps. Seemed really exotic back int he 70's for some reason. Made a nice change from the usual, Salt and Vinegar, Cheese and Onion and plain crisps of the day.1

I think you mean keg rather than draught. There was lots of good draught in the 1970s - Youngs, Fullers, Everards, Home Ales, Marstons, Eldridge Pope down on the south coast., and many, many more. Camra helped to stop the rot but the good stuff was still out there.Six-a-bag-of-nuts said:

We was always a very thirsty group so often forced to resort to a screwdriver and hammer if I remember rightly. On the wine front a nice bit of Liebfraumilch for the ladies was the preferred choice (in a screw top bottle naturally).eastterrace6168 said:Hal1x said:
