Cabana bars - coconut and cherries covered in chocolate. Sounds disgusting but I seem to recall I ate plenty of them.

The best chocolate bar to have mystifyingly disappeared from the face of the earth is the Raspberry Ruffle.

The Angli-Italian cup was a cool concept. European games for second-tier clubs. Why not?

What's worse is when things come back in stores that you remember from your childhood and are seen as 'retro'!

I used to love sterilised milk, but my mum wouldn't put a note out for the milkman for it because she thought it was a bit common. Strange as it may seem, nowadays I get Waitrose to deliver it.

I also like Vesta Chow Mein, which is dead hard to get nowadays.

Vesta were great! Not had one for years, loved the little crispy noodles.

Had a frey bentos pie a while ago, like a player who hasn't played for ages you/we think they're brilliant but turn out to be shite

My biggest regret about us not signing Cavani is that I can't sing "...he came from Uruguay....just like Fray Bentos pies.."

Love this thread.

I would never have imagined that logging on to a City forum I'd learn why dog's shit is no longer white.
