Things that most Supermarkets no longer stock (2 Viewers)

Numerous branches of Tesco, Sainsburys, ASDA, Lidl, Iceland, Aldi, Co-op. Nothing. Even when it looks like they're available online when you actually go onto buy it it says unavailable.

They've defiantly had them in the Tesco at Canon Park, not that it really helps you right now. They're one of those things that they label limited edition but seem to be available about 10 months of the year.

That's my normal big supermarket. I've checked over and over in there and not seen anything - not even a cheap knock off. Do I have Arctic Roll blindness?

Consulted the supermarket expert aka my Mum. She said they won't be in the ice cream section, they'll be in frozen deserts.

Trust me, I have.

i have checked every single supermarket I've been in for months while I'm there to see if they have one.

Maybe it's a summer thing? Possibly in stores when warmer weather is upon us? I've tried to buy ice cream in a block, the sort you slice up to put between wafers, but nowhere. Then last summer, Iceland had them in.

Coffee Crisp. Delicious.
(You'd need to be as ancient as me and Houch to remember these tbh).
Allegedly they are still sold in Canada, but not sure if they are the same.

I’m ancient too, used to really love coffee crisp.

Hooray. I don't think I've ever found anyone who remembers them.
Was beginning to think I was imagining them .
But no, it's just down to growing up in the fifties and sixties (and I don't mean senility...).

Originally called Toff-o-Luxe. But again, you'd need to be antediluvian.

I'm sure I remember them as Toff-o- luxe as well? That's going back to the 1950's!

Definite. Maybe late 50s or early sixties. Think the latter personally.

 

[Kneeza]

Yep, still going in 1962 by the look of it TOFFO ADVERTS

My dragon just mentioned Mackintosh's Golden Cup. Now that was really nice!

a bit like a cadburys easter cake in a foil wrapper (Early 70s)
