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?

Bloke Outside with Sandwich board saying the "End is Nigh"

He was probably correct, just miscalculated in thinking it applied to the rest of us.

Any one remember these they were great fun.

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

Loved them!

I took my daughter there a couple of years back. We walked across the beach to reach the water's edge and by the time we got there we were in Ireland.

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.
