Bring it back
« on: March 10, 2007, 06:41:49 pm »
A while back some of us joined the bring it back Forum but, to be honest, I didn't really like the style and tone of the site so I thought: why not start a bring it back thread so people can post about things (not just chocolate) they'd like to see  return? So here goes.
 

I would like to see the return of:

 

REAL Oil of Ulay (not the white greasy stuff they make now)

 

Anne French Cleasing Milk

 

Jackie Magazine

 

Rowntrees Greengage Jelly

 

Tins of loganberries

 

Hitchman's Dairies Mickey Chocolate Drink

I miss :-
 

Yardley's Honeysuckle range of perfume and toiletries.

 

Proper 'Camp' coffee not the coffee flavoured syrup they make these days.

 

Pineapple flavoured Hi Juice from Tesco. Cry

 

Quote from: oldspice

Rowntrees Greengage Jelly
I loved that stuff, and I'd forgotten about it too. How could I have??LOL

 

People who say 'Thankyou' when you hold a door open for them.

 

Proper coverage of The Horse Of The Year Show.

 

The REAL It's A Knockout'. I know the presenters are older than Methuselah, if they're even still alive, but the remake with Keith Chegwin is just not the same.

 

The Krypton Factor and The Adventure Game.

 

Tootie Minties.  If that's what they were called. LOL

 

The days when people actually rang you back if they said they would. (I've waited 2 days now for a ring back from BT.) Angry

This thread will run and run!  I'd forgotten Ann French Cleansing Milk (those weird shaped white bottles with the purple lids) and I've never heard anybody else complain that Special K used to be a totally different shape (and taste) from now.  As for Oil of Ulay though - didn't it used to be made with whale oil?

Bring back Ice Magic! For those of you who are too young, it was a sauce you put on ice cream, which you then put back in the freezer for a few seconds, and it set hard. Luvverly stuff Tongue
