Original Ringos were the best ... Cheese and Onion on the way home from school ... mmmmmm

Anyone remember Piglets and Snax? Snax were like little smokey bacon biscuits type thingys and Piglets were like, well, hollow piglets, lol.

Oh why oh why do they mess with our faves?

They could have got rid of half the other crap on the shelves today and no one would have missed them, but noooooooo, they have to take away all the good stuff. Spoilsports!!!

Supermarkets still sell 'club'. The fruit n choc one is nice.

There used to be a crisp that was shaped like pasta tubes, cant remember what it was called but the common flavour was spicy tomato i think?

Is cadburys nutcrisp extinct? Not many shop stocked them when they were a round anyway

Our local Woolies were sold out of Wispas today. After reading this thread it had me hankering for one.

Sounds like Wheat Crunchies to me, but they've never gone away - I still regularly buy them (you can usually get multipacks in Poundland, and the supermarkets sometimes have them on BOGOF along with Nik Naks which are part of the same family).

Anyway, methinks this thread has gone a little off topic - perhaps we should leave this thread for people to report their Wispa finds, and we can all reminisce over at this thread :

Isn't that Wheat Crunchies? You can still get them.

Fruit n choc Clubs are my favourite but I can hardly see them stocked anywhere. It's usually Mint, Chocolate or Orange and that's it.
