Was there not a story about a once famous Scottish model who tried to sue the makers of these because she was addicted to them and they took the enamel off her teeth? Although IIRC a worse trauma for her was that Marti Pellow was winching her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melanius Mullarkey Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Of course the proper juice for an ice cream float was….. Spoiler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumswall Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 You still get them under the guise of "Oor Wullie Iron Brew" bars. It's not the same recipe apparently. Have been tempted to order a few to try them though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved them. On 04/09/2021 at 11:31, welshbairn said: Thought you could still buy them but turns out they were discontinued in 2015. Why would they do such a thing, they were a perfect half way point between a snack and a meal. You can definitely still buy these. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen them in the likes of B&M so you might not be far wrong. I'm sure I've seen them in Tesco's as well though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I've seen them in Tesco's as well though. Might be a knock-off copy. According to Heinz they stopped making them in Feb 2015. A quick Google shows posts that B&M do indeed still stock them but these posts are ancient and Heinz themselves say Non. Who Knows? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meldrew Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 saw this in Tesco last night, never knew you could still buy this ''youth club disco'' necessity, lead to a lot of young men getting their first clap of a fanny. Can you still get this ? Or is it deid ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Never really saw the point in Woodpecker Cider considering it was only 3.5%. I doubt a toddler would get pished on two litres of that muck 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Made the mistake of telling my gran I liked Turkey twizzelers, 7 weeks worth during the school summer holidays later and I never wanted to see,taste or smell them ever again. That was about 20 years ago, they are back on supermarket shelves 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I loved a slice of Battenberg when I was wee, but I still do, so that's disqualified. I loved a Rum Baba too - very fashionable in the Eighties, it seemed, as you could get them everywhere. Would always have one when we stopped at the Woolworths cafe. Haven't seen them since I was a kid, but I'm pretty sure I'd still love them.Rum baba's in Naples are absolutely amazing, sold in every cafe and bakery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was only able to start eating them again a couple of years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
