Feeling ill today and had a massive craving for Bullion Bar which was like a toffee bar in a foil wrapper shape of gold bullion.

Also

Roy of Rovers bar: lime flavoured chew bar
Mr Kipling Apple sunday, apple pie with like a cream top
Trilludan: a hayfever tablet in the 80s an early 90s that actually worked
Lucozade in a glass bottle: just felt more special

There are bound to be many more things

Pork stock cubes - can't find them anywhere, gravy for a pork roast isn't quite the same

Just to add any form of pain killer over the counter that actually makes a blind bit of difference

Proper Fullers ESB beer. They've changed the recipe twice.

It was even more special than that: wrapped in orange cellophane with the bonus of 5p on returning it after use.

For triludan (terfenadine) try fexofenadine which is the active metabolite of terfenadine and does not have the potentially deadly, but thankfully rare cardiac side effects.

There's one about 10 minutes drive from me, and I saw another last week in Shrewsbury town centre.

For me it would be proper Irn Bru, the stuff that was full of sugar and caffeine. The 1901 stuff is OK, but the new recipe is foul.

Oh and Ricicles.

And proper Blue Smarties.

Basically anything full of sugar and e numbers smile
