I recently picked up a tube of Fruit Pastilles and Crunchy bar, after not having eaten them for about 20 years and as you say they were incredibly sweet and nothing like I remembered them!IdleHans said:
Loved these when I was a kid. Hadn't seen them for many years then saw some in a little corner shop so bought one for old times sake. Either my taste or the recipe has changed but I found it revoltingly sweet. If I ate these as a kid it's no wonder my teeth are so poor.Raith_C_Chattonell said:Caramac to be discontinued.
Can't remember the last time I bought one tbf, but it's a shame as it is quite distinctive from other bars. The name is made up from Caramel and Mac (as in Macintosh) the original producers in 1959.

What happened to all those baskets that were popular back in the 70s and maybe 80s?ShootersHillGuru said:
The Valley Club used to serve a mean chicken in a basket back in the day.LenGlover said:Chicken in a basket at Berni Inns and Golden Eggs.
Neither were great per se but when you were churning out the miles up and down the UK and starving way back when they were better and better value than motorway service stations.
Mine from the Valley club usually reappeared half way up Charlton lane.

I remember loving camp coffee made with milk and fig roll biscuits as a child, seeing them both on a rare shopping trip with my wife I bought some. Bloody awful.4

Probably partly you not having a sweet tooth as much as you did as a kid, but in terms of the Crunchie, Cadbury chocolate is definitely sweeter and less creamy than it was - American owners using cheaper ingredients etc I think.Stuart_the_Red said:

They are diabolical.paulie8290 said:TURKEY TWIZZLERS ARE COMING BACK
Bernard Matthews teased the return of something a few days ago and everyone suspected it was them and they have now confirmed its Turkey Twizzlers.
Slight difference as it's Chill Cheese or Tangy Tomato but I cant wait to try them and see how they taste lol.
Bet Jamie Oliver is doing his nut somewhere.
No where near the elegant,beautiful and fine taste that were once Turkey Twizzlers. Those who have made these new things with the same name should be ashamed.

it still exists but its been Americanised. Fanta Pineapple and grapefruit. Marketing own goal but I think Coca-cola cooperation will get by.PopIcon said:I failed to find Lilt in Tesco. To my surprise i discovered it had been discontinued earlier in the year.0 -

She couldn't remember if they'd always been like that but as a kid she liked them, or if they've changed.0 -

Also there were little baguette shaped garlic baguette flavoured crackers they did in the tubes near Christmas (like twiglets, mini cheddars come in now), and they were so good.
Can't even find evidence they existed now but I'm positive they did!0 -

Do they still do Angel Delight? Used to drink the Butterscotch one before it had a chance to set. Got a few clips round the ear for that.
Along with -
- Eating squirty cream straight from the aerosol can.
- Eating prawn flavoured Primula cheese straight from the tube.
- Making a cheeky sugar sandwich.
Was allowed to lick the cake mix from the bowl and me, my brother and the old man would clean the chicken bones on a Sunday. Ate the parsons nose until I realised what it was....1 -

Elvis Juice, which is my favourite tipple and was temporarily replaced by newly formulated Elvis juice, which clearly wasn’t as popular as it was discontinued.
I was bereft and wrote to Brewdog to complain!

No, the shitehawks nerfed the ABV and in doing so reduced what was a rich, deep and gorgeous IPA into fizzy fruity piss. I also was very vocal towards Brewdog about that decision and spent a fortune hunting down all the 6.5% cans of Elvis Juice I could track down online. They then, rightly went back to the old recipe and ABVNorth Lower Neil said:

Ready Salted Chipsticks.You can only get Salt and Vinegar flavour these days, which taste way too much of vinegar and seem to strip the lining from my mouth1
