Discontinued favourite foods or snacks.

They had their time on the shelf and sadly left - way too quickly!

Does anyone remember

Wotsits Waffles (crisps in purple packet?)
Sporties - Michael Owen sweetened wheat cereal?
Willy Wonka purple chocolate bar (with green nerds in them) and purple chocolate cube (with that raspberry filling)?

Anyone remember these and have anything more to add?

Proper Bahlsen Lebkuchen, apparently vanished from the shelves of Sainsbury's forever. Now they do rubbish oversized round ones instead, a bit sickly.

That Willy Wonka bar was amazing.

I miss Vice Versas, the ones that were like Minstrels but the ones with brown coatings were white inside and *vice versa*. :wink:

Corn Pops, that cereal was so tastey.

And yeah Wham bars still exist... they're well tastey.

Wonka bars were incredible! They were so satisfyingly chunky!
And I know these are still possible to get if you're willing to try very hard, but I miss readily available Lucky Charms! They also used to make a Pokemon cereal which was basically Pokemon shaped Lucky Charms.
I either have to ask people visiting America to bring them back, or pay £6.99 for them from Fenwicks!!! =OOO
