Bygone Snacks

[Napper]

Wham bars

 

[Wardy]

Blimey, haven't seen them for years!!

How about these

 

[Butch Willykins]

I know it's more a chocolate bar than a savoury snack, but I could murder a TRIO bar. f*** knows why they stopped making those bad boys.

You should all be ashamed of yourselves:-

These - they were so much tastier than the BBQ rib crisps they were replaced with

Quality. I can remember my Dad sending me down the shop to buy those when I was about 9, living in Hangleton at the time. Happy days.

I don't see these anymore, shame because they were amazing.

There used to be this lorry came round once a week selling bottles of pop. You would buy them then the next week when they came back get your deposit back on the bottle. Recycling before it was fashionable. Maybe they should do that again, would increase recycling levels.

I wonder if anyone went around the back of the shop, took the bottles and got the deposit back for the bottle. That would be worth starting a thread about.

As kids, we had a chippy that charged a deposit on a bottle of pop.....we used to get the bottles from the back of the premises, take them into the shop and sell him back his own bottles and collect the 3d.....what a scam..

hahaha..

On a slight tangent - banana yoghurt. It seems impossible now to go into a supermarket and a buy a basic, standard pot of banana yoghurt.

What is that about? Banana yoghurt is exceedingly lush. I do not miss toffee yoghurt.

Still done in Northern Ireland, somehow. Can't see the demand for off-brand soft drinks being that high but they still do it!

Aztec Bars and savoury vinegar crisps

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

How about these

A taste sensation!!!

 

[brakespear]

Still do if you go to Mr Simms sweet shop, one in Crawley and Horsham I think, not sure about Brighton..

Ain't no school like the old school!

One in Worthing too. Anyway, as to snacks - 'Rancheros' were a personal favourite.

 

[JCL]

salt & vinegar chipsticks!

Indeed, but it's seemingly IMPOSSIBLE to find unless you want it with chocolate cornflakes or some other irrelevant stuff.

 

[rouseytastic]

Wham bars

Yes!!!!! Classic!

 

[vegster]

Walters (later Burtons) potato puffs, used to buy them on the way to school from a shop in St Lukes Terrace.

I thought these were called Walkers barbeque puffs ?
