What discontinued snack do you miss the most? 

Walker's BBQ Rib flavoured crisps in the black packet come to mind for me. I haven't seen them in years, so I assume they've been discontinued! I can still taste them if I imagine it, and they remind me of my childhood.

    For me, I’d have to say the Cadbury mix ups, the ones with mini Oreo’s and buttons

    Scraps/crackling, either given away or sold in Fish and chip shops. They were a regular part of my childhood diet in the 60's, but I haven't seen them for years.

    You can still get scraps in my local fish and chip shops @Steve_in_The_City :) Perhaps it's not still a thing everywhere though!

    I hadn't realised Mix Ups didn't exist anymore @poppy_, if we're thinking of the same thing!

    I always used to get crispy onions on top of my salads at the Harvester @janer1967 :D They're nice! I'm not sure where to buy them either. It looks like some supermarkets sell some KTC branded ones, from having a quick look online.

    I was trying to find some cheap cupcakes recently that I'd had in the past...sure they used to come in a white box of 4 or 8, maybe with a stylised Fox on the front?  Could either get chocolate 'style' topping, or lemon or strawberry...  Can't find them anywhere and can't even remember the name or brand!!  Any ideas?

    I have recently had some BN biscuits which are now being sold again.  :D

    Nothing really came up when I tried to search for that online @OverlyAnxious, so I'm not sure! Hopefully someone else will know.

    Do you remember the BN song?

    I spent a good few minutes searching but couldn't find anything either.  They were something I had at school so would have been early-mid 2000s.  Also had special editions with orange topping for Halloween and white topping for winter.  It was a firm, flat, flooded topping.  Not like the whipped buttercream or disc of icing that comes on them nowadays.

    And yes, of course I remember the BN song!!  :D

    I'm not sure there's a tiger fox on the packaging, but do you mean the Fabulous Bakin' Boys ones @OverlyAnxious? 

    I still get it stuck in my head sometimes :D

    Ahhhh, well done!  They're the ones!! ;)   Think I must have imagined the Fox (or confused packaging with something else).

    As soon as you mentioned the topping, I suspected it might be those ones @OverlyAnxious! I used to love them, particularly the chocolate ones.
