Forgotten/defunct Brands You Have Loved.....

[Easy 10]

I was very fond of my "Silly Putty". I would press it onto cartoon jokes in my comics and take it to school to show the print of the pun on my grotty pink putty mulch - of course the writing would be backwards, but it didn't seem to matter.

Oh, and I overtook a Mk1 Cortina on the A23 southbound yesterday - I nearly wept.

Walls "Big Feast"
Lemondae Sparkles.

none of this normal tame "feast" crap.

Do you remember the "Feast-Wich" as well. It was chocolate and chocolate ice cream sandwiched between 2 beits of chocolate cake stuff. With chocolate sauce. Now there was an ice cream!

 

[colinpants]

british knight trainers

 

[Deano's Right Foot]

If we're talking ice-creams then the Saucy Tanner was pretty good. It cost sixpence of course (two and a half new pence).

 

[Simster]

How about WHITE DOG SHIT? You never see that these days.

 

[Seagullible]

TRIIIIIIIOOO - loved those

and what ever happened to Smiths Crisps. I know you can still get them but very hard to find

 

[GUNTER]

Don't forget TODAY newspaper (first Uk national colour tabloid), not a bad read, but didn't have too many fans.

I also enjoyed drinking TAB (white cola, made by coca cola).

 

[The Large One]

R Whites Lemona-hay-hade
Frazzles
Sainsbury's Yellow Label goods
Space Dust
Look-In comic / magazine
Blue Nun wine (please tell me no-one is sick enough to stock that brake fluid any more)
Bukta (oh, yes - those 70s Albion shirts)

Winfield football boots - came from Woolworths, looked like adidas with an extra thin stripe and made out of the stiffest plastic imaginable........ made me play even worse than my meagre talent allowed.

Game & Watch consoles, especially the Donkey Kong 2 flip ones. Got mine in 1983 as a get well present when i got diabetes. Memories.

The 16K rubber-keyed Speccy

And the Grandstand game console that you plugged into the telly. Had Kevin Keegan sporting a seventies' afro on the box. Came with a rifle so you could shoot little squares that bounced across the screen. Was the height in sophistication at the time

 

[Brightonian74]

How about that sherbert filled flying saucers!! CLASS!!

 

[Rambo]

Garbage Pail stickers.

In fact any 80s Panini sticker collections where you could buy a packet of 6 for 12p.

Now they're all far too expensive and not nearly as exciting.

I went through phase of collecting Mexico 86 stickers, along with everyone else in my primary school.

By the time i got bored of them and realised I was never going to get either the silver Iraq team badge or Jesper Olsen no matter how many packets I bought, I'd accumulated12 Kenny Sansoms, 9 Gary Baileys, 7 Karl-Heinz Rummenigges, 6 Norman Whitesides and a brace of Cha Bum Kuns*



*any 80s child will tell you that Cha Bum Kun was the funniest named player EVER.

Cha Bum Kun - the sticker.

Oh memories

And Football '84 with our very own Gary Howlett on the front.

 

[Race]

'i can't stand it with BANDIT'

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Not necessarily brands but at the time of the 1972 Olympics in Munich, Shell did a Olympic Athletes "silver Coins" collection which you got with gallons of petrol. I had most of them.

Not forgetting the classic Esso World Cup coins
