I was going to say the Texan Bar as I remember being a little kid and loving them. Then you’ve pulled the Quatro out of the bag! Top effort! 10/10.

Big Red chewy (I know you can get it imported but it's expensive).

some gems there...........................maybe not the spangles
Wonder if they still do dips and how they rate up against Dicksons, I loved a dip from Ibbitsons in Blandford Street mind back in the day

Them monkey nut shaped sweets, loved them. Woolworths used to do chocolate biscuits that had Caramac on instead. Them mini chocolate bar vending machines in train/bus stations that always had shit Nestles choc bars in them, never ever seen anybody buy one, they looked like they'd been in years.

Sweet peanuts? Sure you can still get them. Might have to have a look, I used to love them.

For many years on a wall in Lemington there was grafitti of a large dick with the legend 'big one - sticks out a mile'. Always made me laugh!
The words were painted over eventually, but not the dick. That only disappeared a few years ago when the wall was rebuilt I think.

Also, proper bon bons with the hard toffee in the middle, not this chewy shite they put in them these days

Sister and I were reminiscing about mint imperials - at one time they had a little bit of hard glacier-type mint in the middle. Doesn't seem to exist these days.

Mate of mine from childhood used to pour sherbert straight down his cakehole and munch acid drops - both put my teeth on edge.

Bovril crisps! I wish I knew where to complain to.
M&S used to do lovely rectangular peanut biscuits which have disappeared into oblivion.
Also Waitrose's black pepper shower gel which for £1.20 was fabulous and very similar to Moulton Brown's more expensive one. Probably why it no longer exists.
Bovril crisps would have been the first thing I would have posted. Didn’t Smiths Crisps do the Bovril ones in the 80s?
Rissoles.
They weren't that healthy but they were a spicy filling (meaty?) with a crispy breadcrumb outer that you'd fry in a little lard - so lovely.
Pizza flavour Discos - not even a crisp fan but they were rather tasty.
Bobby's (Burton's?) Potato Puffs (plain or cheese and tomato flavour).
Jap Dessert.
