The Bird’s Eye Super Mousse
Buoyed with retro food excitement, I purchased a 4-pack of Strawberry Super Mousse last night. Expecting it to taste of 1982 – a treat to be enjoyed on a Friday night, having watched Crackerjack (Crackerjack!) and then being allowed to stay up late so I could watch Albion Market or Winner Takes All, The Gentle Touch or The Professionals or if you were really lucky, The Fall Guy. Taping the theme tunes of the aforementioned shows to my little tape recorder, ooh, happy days.

The reality? It’s tasted really synthetic, didn’t have enough strawberry sauce and tasted nothing like childhood.

I should have gone with the Arctic Roll instead.

Oh man oh man oh man
I'm so glad you told me. I'd have got my hopes up and everything. Friday night was 'bits and pieces' night where we'd get a nice sandwich, some crisps and cheese and salad and stuff. To top it all, a strawberry Super Mousse. They were awesome.

Quite correct. Plastic pot with a cardboard lid – I’m not sure if it’s because they only come in packs of 4, but the packing process now, isn’t for them to be stacked one on top of the other, it’s a two-by-two packing formation.

Okay, the four of them only cost a quid, but it was still a major disappointment. I’d bought ‘youth’ albeit in a frozen yoghurt pot and it didn’t happen.

As I said some months back, the Big Trak I bought on e-bay was shit as well. (My folks were never going to part with the sort of cash a Big Trak would have cost).

There is a reason why most of the stuff we either longed for of wanted as kids is no longer available. It was all shit.

this is disappointing
what with finding out the Mr Frosty was shit as well it seems that most of our childhood dreams are being crushed.

I recommend you watch the He-man and She-ra movie. It will restore your faith, because it's awesome.

also, go and buy some mini-milks. they are still the fucking shit.

I seem to remember
The chocolate mini-milk was the biggest offender.

I was always more partial to a Mr Freeze ice-pole thingy.

5p well spent - especially the cola one, but there was a lot to be said for the blue one as well.

Doubtless they are shit now as well.

naa, Mr Freeze are still the same
still the same price I think too. maybe 10 or 15p for the giant ones
