    Default DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN ....... THINGS YOU USED TO LOVE BUT CANT BUY NOW!!!

    Is there anything you used to like from years ago that you can not buy now?

    It can be food, clothes, anything

    For example my daughter used to love lucky charms but she got some a few months back , paid loads of money for them and decided she does not like them now, they are soooo full of sugar

    I used to like a cheese snack called combos, they are from America, I had searched and searched for them for over ten years and I found them the other week, they are still gorgeous yummy yum

    Is there anything you used to like that you would love to try again but is no longer availabe?

    DH bought a top which had a picture of a cassette tape on and Cameron asked it what is was and we started explaining about cassette tapes and VHS, He was shocked that you had to sit and "rewind" tapes.

    I used to also like Lucky Charms. I once had a cup which was the once that is dark and goes light when it has a hot drink in it. My mum still has that cup, but it doesnt work any more.

    Amazin Raisin Bars they were yummy.

    From America Triscuits they are yummy little square salty biscuits don't even know if they still sell them it must be 25yrs since I had any!

    The power of the internet! I just goggled and got this but I don't think they would deliver to the UK.

    Opal Fruits

    Spangles

    M & S flat mule slippers with a covered toe. I used to get a net pair every Christmas.

    I've just found this site and it reminded me of one lovely short lived chocolate bar, Old Jamaica.

    Reason chocolate chew. Used to walk to school instead of taking bus just to have one. It was worth all the late detentions and the 3 mile walk to school.
