"Foods" you don't see anymore

    When I was growing up, I was fed some awful shite - not really my parents fault I suppose... processed food was all the rage back then and there wasn't really a whole lot of information as to how crap it actually was.

    Regular meals would include...

    Findus Crispy Pancakes ("meat" in some weird semi-circular enclosure that had vibrant orange bread-like crumbs on it)

    Denny Steak & Kidney Pies (you'd lob the lid off the tin & bake the whole thing in the oven, in the tin - probably a pre-cursor to microwave meals)

    Frozen Mini Pizzas (tastless, vile things that probably had the "cheese" spray painted on)



    So what foods do you remember that you don't see anymore (or are glad to see the back of!)?

    Although they're not really stuff you don't see anymore, I don't get why it's so hard or uncommon (for me) to find any Dr. Pepper - most shops around me just have coke/pepsi/and the like, Dr. Pepper isn't nearly as popular/common as the general drinks.
    More here.

    Campbells Meatballs
    They came outta the can like dog food till thy warmed up and you got your protein. From select cuts no doubt

    Ah, I remember the mini pizzas and their cardboard bases.

    Angel Delight would be one.

    They were actually nice at the time.

    I'm sure I'd probably eat dog food now though, given the choice.

    I don't see Granby sausages or burgers anymore - they probably do exist but I don't see them. I've gone blind.

    You're probably right.

    Though they'd have less of a kick than bazooka bars & taste a bit better than bukkake bars!
