What would you bring back?

I’ve found American shops online that sell Milky Way crispy rolls - 24 for £24, bit pricey obvs but fuck it, I’ll pay it

I also want Mars Delight to come back. I’ve had an alert set up for about ten years on Amazon to let me know if they ever come back. They were fucking amazing and I’ll never understand why they stopped being made

Oh I found them recently!!!! I loved them, bought them for my son and he sadly liked them so I couldn’t keep them all to myself. Sure it was B&Ms or poundstretcher I found them

Nah they’re not. Got discontinued last year. Some places still have them from old stock and/or ordering abroad, but they’re too expensive to get for supermarkets and other shops

hence why I’m ordering them from America

Frosties. Not the cereal, but the hard sugar-coated sweets with a chewy centre. They were made by Barrett, and apple and blackcurrant was the best of the three flavours. Discontinued years ago, and hard to find anyone else who even remembers them.
