Turkey and bacon loaf from marks and spencer

There must be something about M&S changing products. They say 'there's no call for it' when you ask but I think it's probably to do with suppliers no being able to produce a product for them in the price range they want.


I remember my dad loving some small, savoury lattice rolls they used to do and they disappeared.


I really loved the ham & cheese stuffed pancakes from years ago but they disappeared too. I've tried making my own but definitely not the same.:(

American Tan 20 denier tights. When I started work in 1974 all the girls had a mini sewing kit in their desk drawer and would quickly stitch up any holes in tights caused by splinters on the old furniture. We washed and wore them even after they were stitched - some girls used any colour thread they could find ! Those of us whose tights were cheaper and laddered when snagged used clear nail varnish to stop the ladder getting longer.

Does anybody remember those potato puffs crisps? They were so tasty! I still get thrown off by the green/blue cheese'n'onion/salt'n'vinegar colour switch, too.

Diet coke with vanilla

Oh my! I that stuff! It tasted like you were drinking coke through a gob full of marshmallows This is still available in other countries (according to Wikki), it should still be on sale here!

Black Magic were always my very favourite box of chocolates. Then they took away the coffee cream, the liquid cherry, the butterscotch, the triple hazlenut cluster, the brazil nut......................in fact almost all the types of chocolate. Why still call them Black Magic when none of the original chocolates are still in the box? I won't eat them any more:(

We get bought black magic every year for Christmas,any every year I take them into work,used to love them,a very thin shadow of what they used to be. I think all boxed chocs have gone the same way :sad:

Terry's spartan what happened to them, infact I miss Terry's full stop.

I'm also in total agreement with this.

Another old favourite that has been greatly altered is HP Sauce which was once made in Birmingham and is now made in The Netherlands. It just doesn't taste the same as it used to. It's all gloopy and has a jelly-like consistency and it doesn't pour like it used to.

Oddly enough my OH hasn't noticed a change, or at least hasn't mentioned it, and he had HP (not just a little) with virtually everything, has done since he was a boy. I even subbed a diff brand in an HP bottle once and he spat it straight out saying the HP was off :eek:

stellata

?.were they the chunky shape ones? Narrower but thicker than dairylea?
"Swiss Knight" brand. Celery was my fave.

Potato triangles, used to find them in the crisp aisle. Tired to get some for Xmas last year and realised they'd been discontinued.
