just seen an article on the The Sun about which snacks brits would like make a comeback. There's some good ones on there
Toffos Heinze cheese and beans pizza Panda pops
What would everyone else like to see come back? I used to like the toffos and use get them from the ABC cinema in Hanley thats my memory of them. I also use to like the Cadbury spira
Jam waggon wheels were also a classic

Full fat Ski yoghurt with fruit in them. "The full of fitness food" if I remember the ad correctly.

Spangles Walnut whip ( are they still available ? ) I'm pretty sure they're still available, never tried one though They are. No walnut now, though, so they're just called whip. And the filling is no longer creamy goodness, it's synthetic and tastes foul. I had the mispleasure of trying one last year.
I'll second Findus crispy pancakes. I lived on those & peanut butter sandwiches between the ages of 5 & 18.
Top deck shandy was ace. Ben Shaw's is pretty good nowadays for a fairly cheap option. Dunno if that's just a Yorkshire beverage, though, or if it's got as far south as Stoke.
I'll add:
Cigarette sweets
Coca-cola with real cocaine in it

Brannigans Roast Lamb and Mint crisps Top Deck Shandy You can get both of these things in Bargain World* in Tunstall (alongside other products from well-known brands which don't ever seem to have been available in this country - it's like they're products from an alternate reality - Woodfired Pigeon Pringles, Cadbury's Flange, Fanta 'Red' and such). *it's sort of like an off-brand B&M run by angry Turks that sells everything you can possibly think of including, rather inexplicably, lawnmowers

Fuse bars please, I just started getting into them and the bastards stopped making them. And dark chocolate flakes. Fuse is another classic I’m wondering if Fuse was the one I couldn’t get enough of about 20 years ago. With raisins, fudge and biscuit🤔. Doesn’t ring a bell though, the name.

I went to that 11 Club place in Tunstall a few months back and they sell bags of Space Raiders big enough to see you through 8 pints. No need for a kebab.

Dundee biscuits, the big ones that, strangely, you used to be able to get from the butchers in the old Stoke market (pre-fire).

Congratulations on finding a box of Golden Graham’s......👍 As for Puffa Puffa Rice, it was my breakfast staple for as long as can remember. I tried to revive it by having Sugar Puffs, but they just don’t match up.

Had some Sugar Puffs or whatever they’re called these days a few months back. Disgusting things! Remember enjoying them as a kid though🤔

I sometimes buy them and sit with the cat, dispensing him x1 Dreamie then eating x1 Cheese Moment myself in a 'one for you, one for me' system. I do this as Cheese Moments are essentially Dreamies for people and if I just have a bag to myself the cat thinks I'm eating his snacks and starts acting the cunt.
