• Original Food And Drink Items That Are Irreplaceable

Posted: **Thu Jan 04, 2018 12:58 pm**

The baked beans thread got me thinking what original brand food and drink items do fellow posters consider irreplaceable and would rather shell out a bob or two extra on it than buy an alternative cheaper option

It's all down to personal taste I appreciate, but here are a few of mine

Shredded Wheat
Coke Zero
HP Sauce
McVities Half Coated Milk Chocolate Digestive
Tunnocks T Cakes

Coke Zero definitely on my list too.

Good luck not dying from aspartame then

A can of coke zero now and again will not kill you.

Posted: **Thu Jan 04, 2018 1:24 pm**

Coke Zero has had its recipe changed.

Anyone remember Dalton's wheatflakes? Disappeared in the 50's and Kellogs Cornflakes stepped in much to my displeasure or maybe some other expression as I don't think I had heard of displeasure in the early 50's

Ben Shaws Dandelion and Burdock

It's rare I drink fizzy drinks anymore and only drink diet drinks now but I haven't seen the diet version for years.

Haworth's pop in general but their sarsaparilla in particular. Much better than Hill's pop.
Midget gems with liquorice flavoured black ones.
Tems crisps.
Crumbly Lancashire cheese - much better than this fad for creamy Lancashire

I grabbed the Lidl version by accident as it was very similar packaging - I wouldn't go back to Branstons now.

Lyons midget gems - definitely the only ones I’d have. Since Maynard started making them with the black currant black ones, the proper ones are harder to find. *****!

Don't get me started on Maynards.

Their Sports Mixture are now so soft they have the chewiness of Wine Gums from years ago.

Posted: **Thu Jan 04, 2018 5:54 pm**

Kellogg’s. All their products. Everything else is inferior.

Need to think about the rest, but chobulous has done most of my work for me.

Tiger nuts. Anyone remember? 50s-60s Came in a little cardboard packet.

Them curry twiglets. And the crisps I think they were called puffs? Amazing

I don't have ketchup often, but used to think that I couldn't have any other ketchup than Heinz. I then discovered that Aldi's own brand is a spot on replica.

There's no substitute for proper Coca Cola in a can though. Any other variation such as diet or zero, or any pretenders such as Pepsi etc, can do one.

All pop needs to be sweetened with sugar - nothing else.
