Quattro - radioactive green colour, apparently a "mixed fruit" flavour drink. Had a very early CGI'd TV advert.

Lovely. But probably carcinogenic.

Ringos - an onion-flavoured maize / corn snack in the shape of onion rings.

I didn't really like them but ate enough to collect the tokens for the free book once.

(this would have been late '70s)

Edit: And beef Monster Munch. Mmmm
