Just watched an old Smith's crisps ad on u tube and it got me thinking about things that are no more (trying to forget the tomatoes i've just binned with the blight).
Does anyone remember Instant whip?'can't stand Angel Delight but loved raspberry Instant Whip,Spangles ?lovely little squares with a dimple in the middle,my dad once bought me loads of different packets when i was getting over tonsillitus and Birdseye Rissoles mmm they were savoury things with pearl barley. Any other memories? :)

never liked Spangles - as you sucked them they got really sharp edges and they cut your tongue

Bazooka Joes anyone? what were they all about?

Whatever happened to beech nut chewing gum? I am sure that there were opal mints, like opal fruits but a chewy mint square.
