Goodness me Jo Jo, I was scouring the internet just the other night looking for garnier neutralia body wash, the one with the body oil. My daughter when she was a toddler, had bad eczema. I used all sorts of creams and potions. Supplied by the dr and other mums suggestions. One day I was having a bath using the Neutralia, my daughter moaned and groaned about getting in with me and I let her. Her skin was the best it had been in a long time. We used it in her bath all the time after that.
Definitely wish that would come back.

They have tivall hotdogs in ocado. Freezer section.

Someone is selling about a third of a bottle of Sukina on *bay for £20! Bet you don't miss it THAT much.

Heck no. Perfumes go off after a time anyway so I doubt if it would smell the same.

Artytarty Aqua Manda has been brought back, but I remember its lovely orangey smell....It does not smell the same to me.

I miss frozen cream..it was in like tube shapes and so useful just to pop one in to cooking.

Pan Yam pickle, the commercial recipe for which I gather has sadly disappeared into the ether!

So many memories on here its like a slice of social history. So many products now no longer around as well.Bit like the High Street shops that are not with us anymore.The internet has been a good and a bad influence on so many things in our lives over the past few years and has changed the face of not only the High Streets but the nations shopping habits.

Does anyone remember Kunzel cakes? When I was young we didn't have bought cakes very often but I loved these.

Flypaper and mothballs

The mothballs quote made me smile. I'm now in the age group unfortunately where funeral attendance is becoming more frequent, and especially in winter when the black woollen coats come out of wardrobes for these occasions the smell of mothballs could always be found lingering not far away!

Like luvchocolate, I miss the bags of frozen cream that 1celand used to sell. It was frozen in little cylindrical sticks, so if you only needed a little bit of cream for a recipe, or for dessert for one person, you could just take out one stick and defrost it. I haven't seen it in years.

Indeed these were bought for High days and holidays and when my 'posh' aunt came to visit :):) which my Mum used to say of her sister 'Once a year was enough with her bragging ' This woman was considerably rich, and extremely snooty, although my Dad was a chemist and worked quite long hours in his shop.

She always looked down her nose at our family because my Dad had removed my Mum from Glasgow and brought her to London to live and therefore my Aunt thought we were virtually heathens :):)
