Special K - the original stuff - not the dandruff off a giant's head that they sell now. the Seventies recipe. Kelloggs brink it back and call it classic K.

Lime angel delight - there's only choc,butterscotch and banana left on the shelves. they used to do peach but i wasn't a fan.

kinder milk slices - got to live in Norway to get one.

Tons of old food and chocs that have vanished leaving us with a poor selection. Twix, Mars bars and marathon/snickers are still there but they are pretty boring.

WHAT WOULD YOU ADD TO THE LIST.

Curry super noodles used to be great for a snack in a hurry, now they are absolutely disgusting, they've changed the recipe to taste strongly of aniseed. I've no idea how they could think it was an improvement, completely revolting.
