Things you remember from childhood that don't seem to exist

[mikeyr]

Inspired by the white dog poo what else do you remember as a kid that doesn't seem to exist anymore?

I'd suggest the tape from inside cassettes which used to be wrapped round every bush that was anywhere near a road when I was a nipper.

Oh, and stag beetles!

Whatever happened to 'Fish & Chips' crisps?

A lovely sweet fine textured custard type pudding called cremola ?

I thought Findus crispy pancakes had vanished! but I found them in Sainsburys last week! turned out they actually taste like crap so maybe if would be best if they didnt exist.

They always did taste rubbish though. Not that it stopped me eating them.

We never had these at home because my mum thought they were rubbish, so I only got to have them now and then at friends' homes.

Bought some a couple of years back after stumbling across them in the supermarket. Turns out my mum was right! Utter processed st.

I think that's more to do with age, than 'no longer in existence'

I'm sure if you went to your local primary school you'd see it, but I think the teachers might call the police when they see a man watching the children play football intently from the fence...

Those Kellogs poptarts you did in the toaster used to be absolutely delicious.

Now they taste like cardboard with a filling of chocolate-flavoured lube.

as a regular crisp muncher I'm positive I would have remembered a new flavour of my favorite crisps.
