21 foods from your childhood you probably haven’t touched in 10 years

1. Taz bars

While everyone's getting mad about the price of Freddos going up AGAIN, we're forgetting the bigger crime, which was Cadbury getting rid of Taz bars and replacing them with caramel Freddos. Don't tell us they taste the same – that's not the point, OK?  

2. Billy Bear ham

Meat with a face on it probably wasn't the healthiest thing we could've eaten as kids, thinking back on it.  

3. Prawn cocktail Wotsits

We all know prawn cocktail crisps taste nothing like actual prawn cocktail, but it's still one of the best flavours. These don't exist any more either. RIP.  

4. Poppets

The perfect cinema snack, and also good for eating sneakily during lessons at school.  

5. Panda Pops

These basically only came in bright neon colours and were something like 98% sugar, which is why we all loved them, obviously.  

6. Ice cream Chewits

Treats that taste like other treats are the best kind of treats.  

7. Wagon Wheels

I swear these are now like half the size they were when we were kids?  

8. Wispa Gold

A fucking don of a chocolate bar, one of the best. They got rid of it for a while and life lost its meaning but it's back now and the world is right again.  

9. Candy sticks

You felt like such a badass "smoking" these behind the bike sheds at school. Such a rebel, you just couldn't be stopped.  

10. Doritos 3D's

Like normal Doritos, but with a free pocket of air inside!  

11. Millions

Remember tipping fucking hundreds of these into your gob when you were about 12? Good times.  

12. Wham bars

What were those little green bits? And how do I get the little bit of Wham bar that's been stuck in my teeth since I was 11 to finally come out?  

13. Kwenchy Kups

Puncturing the lid was so satisfying.  

14. Penguin Flipper Dippers

Like Dairylea Lunchables, but for pudding. McVitie's has scrapped these now, the bastards.  

15. Fizzy Jerkz

With that many Zs in the name you know they must be good.  

16. Club bars

The default school lunchbox biscuit bar. The mint ones were the best, fight me.  

17. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pizza

What was it about a pizza advertised by four cartoon turtles that made us beg our mums for these every time we went to the supermarket. Everything. It was everything about them.  

18. Nik Naks

Nice 'n' Spicy or Rib 'n' Saucy, which flavour was best?  

19. Rainbow Drops

These were pretty much just little balls of that foamy stuff you use to protect packages dipped in food colouring, but they were also really nice somehow?  

20. Vanilla ice cream Monster Munch

Image: fiestaturbo.com
Honestly, who thought this was a good idea?  

21. Wall's Balls

Even if your parents never let you have these, you still laughed at the name. Balls, lol!
