Food they should never have stopped making

[mala_D]

Pan Yan pickle.

 

Luverly stuff.

Bought out by Nestle, then discontinued, presumably so that their existing brand [branston?] could capture more of the the market share.

Capitalists know jack about pickle!!!

 

Any others.......?

Don't forget Mojos. I now I'm in the minority on this one but I used to love McDonalds Root beer!

[mala_D]

No you're not. Two!! I used to like that Root Beer. Less sweet than all that other soft drink stuff.

Last time I had it was in Reading, about 1990. The girl I was with put my one on the dashboard - I didn't notice, went round a corner - uh oh! root beer all over the place!

[Mr Happy]

Did you get rooting later though (OOPS sorry, mustn't be smutty!)
