Discontinued brands of food, what were your favorites that aren't available anymore?.

[Perth gal]

Dairy whip

The old ice cream cakes with the red and green flowers on the top

Savoury pies by Sanitarium

Vegelinks.

 

[Reynolds Number]

Wiltshire sausages.

Buying the best breakfast sausage from a supermarket is now shamefully a past time.

 

[NitroFan]

Anyone know where I can get some Portello in Melbourne?

Try IGA/independent supermarkets

 

[Spanghertron]

Anyone know where I can get some Portello in Melbourne?

Wimmers softdrink had to change their portello name to portino(same recipe) due to coke having the naming rights. Most IGA supermarkets would stock wimmers so that would be my first place to try.

Milo bars. They've ******* disappeared!

I want them back - in the original form - where they were basically a whole bunch of milo just stuck together in a block somehow and covered in chocolate.

Do space food sticks still exist? I haven't seen any, but then I didn't exactly send out a search party.

allegedly, they no longer have the equipment to make the old Milo bars. I guess the demand isn't there, for the chocolate bars to return (only for the ice cream tubs). the new energy bar ones were crap!

they no longer make space food sticks.

 

[Sub_Zero]

I miss Sara Lee chocolate pie

Kyneton Chinotto in a glass. Was is the greatest fizzy drink ever made

Tasty Toobs. They brought them back but then took them away again. Heartless.

Best BBQ sauce i've ever had. I still have a couple of bottle stashed away in the cupboard (that are still in date too )



My mum used to drink Tresca all the time. Very much like a bitter lemon drink, but with just a touch more sweetness. Also used to be quite fond of Torino. No one has mentioned Mello Yello either.



Loved that sundae, but I actually loved it with the pop rocks. Also loved the cherry ripe thick shakes.



When they first came out, I sent away and got the free blue wrap around shades you got if you sent off three cool shark wrappers.




Pretty damn close there. I used to get a Blueberry big M in my lunch order with a hot dog and a Jiffy donut (another long gone food favorite of mine) when I was in Prep/Grade 1, which was 1978.

I also remember when big M released their low fat versions in tetra packs about '82 or '83 and they had Choc Orange, Apple and Walnut, and Lime flavors.

And to those who remembered Ollie's Trolley and Wendy's - my two favorite take away places going around when I was a little tacker Good to see someone mentioned the Yumbo too. Myself and one of my mates still lament their decision to can it after all these years.

Some others...

Arnotts Jaffa Cakes

Cadbury Squiggle Tops

White Wings museli flakes

Choc Dot Crispies (already mentioned but I still pine for them )

Arthurs vanilla yoghurt

Fred's chew bars

Scanlens gum

Beechies chewing gum.

Popsicles (the ones where each flavor represented a member of a rock band.)

Chilli and lime munchero's (also already mentioned, but I can still taste them now...)

BBQ CC's

Mc Feast

and a beer for good measure....

Moretti La Rossa

It's still out there, but a couple of years back was bought out by Interbrew who changed the recipe. It used to be the maltiest beer going around, now it's just sickly sweet pap.

I know this thread is super-old but I'm just so excited to find someone else out there who remembers Big M brought out apple and walnut flavour! This calls for an emoji

 

[PoppedCorn]

Zigzag twisties are back
Bigger bag too

 

[Ice-Wolf]

Chickadee Chicken & Corn Schnitzels

Pizza Pockets that aren't Cheese and Bacon (or Supreme although I haven't seen them around either)

Smiths Thinly Cut BBQ Ribs flavour (loving the Teryaki Chicken ones atm)

Birds Eye Crumb-in-one

Four 'n' Twenty Party Pies (the rectangle shaped ones)

Tiny Teddies Chocolate flavour (200gram pack not the party packs)

Leggo's One Pan Gnocchi Napoli

Fixed it.

 

[Tiffsta]

I remember when Arnotts was an Australian company
Biscuits have gone down a steep slope since they got taken over
BBQ shapes used to have so much flavor on them
Tim Tams need 2 pay up and get triple choc to get the original

 

[Paddles_]

Sunnyboys are gone now unfortunately

[Mofra]

Lime and Chillie Muncheros. Had a killer jingle too.

[RelaxMax]

Edgell's mushroom supreme

Continental's bacon stock

Arnott's cherry crowns

Lipton's apple cinnamon tea bags

Cadbury's drinking chocolate (actually they still make this I think but now of course it tastes more sugary than chocolatey)

 

[Silent Alarm]

Here's one:

Does anyone remember a company called Lights who made chips? Or the chips were called Lights?

I have a really early and distinct memory of seeing them in a bottle shop as a kid. Must be one of the few times I went into them or the first and seeing them on the side rack thing really stuck out to me – I remember all of it because it was a one off.

A lighthouse was on the front and the word 'lights' sort of curved around, with the incline coming as the lighthouse came into the wording, if that makes sense. The flavour was salt and pepper, or maybe just pepper. Anyone?

 

[Reppie]

Drift orange juice used to be the go to with a hangover.

Just tried to find Bandido Wedges I'm hoping they're still making them. All the other Potato Wedges are really bland.
