Food you can no longer get but you wish you could

I really miss those flipz - the pretzels with the chocolate on them. Especially the white ones. Some people hated them but I thought they were amazing.

Asbestos Bars.

What ever happened to them?

I miss Opal Fruits.

They still exist in the US. You can buy then here.

I miss Tom toms. They were like mini kievs but with ketchup in the middle.

Flipz were amazing, I was gutted when they disappeared. I might have to buy some from that site. Yum.

LEMON CUUUUUUUURD!!!!
They don't sell any of it in Ottawa except specialty British stores an hour outside of OTtawa. :(

I also miss Pacman cereal. It was my favourite when I was a kid.

Make you a deal let me crash at yours for a few weeks and I'll bring you a suitcase of Lemon Curd.

Wagon wheels when they where the size of bin lids. (Not wheely bins that would be ridiculous)
I wonder if my hands where smaller??

Naaa your the same size the world just got smaller.

I had a similar discussion with an ice cream vendor over the size of flakes in 99's but he insisted the child in his van poster had abnormally large hands and one and a half inch's for a flake was perfectly normal.

I'm not sure he was telling me the truth!

Do-Do Burgers - mmmm, extinct-a-licious.

Old Star Bars, when they had proper peanuts in them and not some amorphous paste which probably contains saw dust and animal eyelids.

From living in America, I really miss Combos, which were like little round pretzel thigs with cheese in them. It was munchies heaven. Along with cheese and peanut butter crackers - sounds bonkers, but was actually delicious.

Sorry abnormally small hands! Doh

Wagon wheels have definitely got smaller. They stopped that advert where they claimed 'you have to eat one piece at a time, but they're so big nobody will mind...if there's a bigger bite it can't be found' because to continue with those dirty lies would get them into trouble. I would imagine.
