RIP xoxo
If you went to primary school in the UK in the ’90s and ’00s, you’ll probably remember it was an elite time to be given apacked lunch.
So I have to ask myself why the powers that be would take away some of a millennial’s most beloved (and delicious) childhood snacks?
I took a trip down memory lane to remember those British childhood delicacies that might be gone, but are not forgotten…
1.We’re starting strong with the one and only Campino sweets. The staple of every British car journey or post-lunch treat, these beauties deserved a better fate.

2.Mars Planets require little to no explanation. If your parents packed these in your lunchbox, it was a good day.
We ’re me faves
3.An elite post-sandwich snack, Polo Fruits are a serious loss to the candy community.

4.Remember when the Spice Girls chocolate bars were available? No explanation is needed because everything about these was just perfect, perfect, perfect.
The Doctor Spice Collection present tense … the@CadburyUKSpice Collection Chocolate Bars featuring the@spicegirls ! ✌ 🏾 ☮ ️ 🍫 10 dissimilar designs were available and the bar featured its relevant Spice Girl in embossed chocolate ! 💗 🇬 🇧 https://t.co/UKKdwcSZ9jpic.twitter.com/vlKBJnHSFW
5.If you’re a white chocolate stan, then you’ll no doubt be BEGGING for these bad boys to make a return to the supermarket shelves.
Who remembers Cadbury Dream Browning automatic rifle ? They were my favourite cocoa bar ever omg 🤗 🔥 pic.twitter.com/I0ADLeClQr
6.No-one can convince me that Frufoo yogurts weren’t an unreal lunchbox treat. Who knew we needed a toy in our desserts?
Who remembers Onken Frufoo UFO Yoghurts ! You will if you were a 90 ’s kid ! Random late night childhood thought ! # 90’sKidpic.twitter.com / BJDg8f7E
7.Panda Pops were little bottles of sweet-tasting heaven. Gen Z don’t know what they’re missing.
Does anyone else remember these Panda Pops ? !
8.Speaking of ’90s drinks, the mere mention of a carton of 5 Alive is bound to bring memories of the playground flooding back. sobs
It ’s been so long I ca n’t even remember what it taste like but I LOVED the berry flavour 😩 # 5alive#memories#uk
9.It seems to us like someone somewhere always decides to take away the best flavour, and ice cream Chewits are no exception.
Who remembers our retro Ice - Cream coterie ? Are you happy Ice Cream Chewits have returned!#icecreamchewitspic.twitter.com / keXaJTLZ64
10.If you knew you’d be sat next to your crush in your post-lunch class, you’d sneak the Extra Ice Thin Sheets in your bag on the sly…what can I say other than thanks for the memories.
Wrigleys methamphetamine sheets though#CapCut
11.Tooty Frooties were so loved that even GMB tried to save them…
Noooo@NestleUKIdon’t ditch Tooty Frooties ! They ’re the estimable ! The unfit news this break of the day they are being discontinued … however on@gmbwe’re doing our good to save them 🤞 https://t.co/wN2bQMzZD9
12.Vanilla ice cream Monster Munch sounds rank but it really was an unsung millennial childhood hero. Yay or nay?
And yes . vanilla extract ice cream Monster Munch was a thing.pic.twitter.com/sR0sXx2DEB
13.Frosties cola-flavoured sweets were the snack of choice for many a millennial primary schooler and quite frankly they’re sorely missed.
Not just the grain … frosties the sweets are also for the same sort of peoplepic.twitter.com/JJKiSDSzbe
14.As this creator puts it, we’ve probably got ‘trust issues’ over the divine Mars Delight being discontinued.
who remembers these ! ? 🔥 🇬 🇧 🍫 # british#mars#chocolate#old#foryou
15.If you were super lucky, your parents might have bought you Bursting Bugs, AKA the GOAT of all sweets.
@ROWNTREESwhatever occur to bursting bugs ? wreak these sweets back please 🤤 # burstingbugs#rowntreespic.twitter.com / a18R8ML61U
16.Okay, okay, so thankfully Pringles still very much exist, but for some very bizarre reason the nifty Pringles lunchbox case is long gone.

17.Echo bars were a dreamy combo of milk and white chocolate, but also came in a mint variety. A sad loss to the snacking world.
echo bar i wanna black market to u#fyp
18.Milky Way Crispy Rolls were apparently discontinued in 2022. As with any good thing, you usually don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone, but thankfully the beauties have been spotted in Home Bargains.
MilkyWay Crispy Rolls are back ! 🏃 🏃 ♀ ️#foryou#fyp#fypシ#newfoodsuk
