What naff product from the past would you like to bring back? Something like food, toys, games etc.

My kids occasionally have a Bernard Matthews 'round joint' of chicken for Sunday dinner. As someone who seems to like crap food I quite like them as well. In the 'good old days', they did the same things but Pork, Beef and my fave ... Lamb. Boy would I love to see these back on the shelves!



What would you bring back?

Cadbury Cheesy Criss Cross

swiller

Steakwich../steak canadienne
Thin slices of frozen meat(aholes, eyes, offal) that you fried in a pan no oil. Cooked in seconds and shrivelled upThen you dipped the bread bap in the grease.
All the rage in yorkshire circa 82-84.
Genuinely disappointed you cant get the real deal anymore.

I was going to say those Vesta packet curries with dried ingredients.... I didn't think they still existed, but it looks like you can still actually buy the Chow Mein variety.

Zee-bong!

Gibbs SR toothpaste. I always liked the very minty taste and slightly coarser texture, but that's obviously no longer popular since you apparently can't get it any more. Other toothpastes work OK, so no great loss really...

Purely for the nostalgia, Rowntree's Junglies.

I'm allergic to chocolate but I am certain that other Fretboarders of a certain age would like a return to Wagon Wheels of the correct size.

Purple and green Heinz ezee squirt ketchup.

Proper (good tasting - YMMV) Pot Noodles.

Smaller Wagon Wheels are better, because there's less of them, and Wagon Wheels are crap.

Cremola rice pudding and Ambrosia chocolate rice pudding. Both delicious but sadly long departed.

My mum is/was seriously the worst cook ever. My dad and me were in heaven when they brought out Vesta meals…. food you could actually eat and enjoy! I used to love cooking the crispy noodly things you got with the chow mein. The curry was a bit weird though, it was full of sultanas.
