Help me!
I'm trying desperately to remember the name of a lemon and lime pop drink sold in the late 1980s. I keep thinking of Top Deck, but I think that was a shandy...

Anybody else have any fondly remembered products that have been discontinued?
(I helped save b3ta! disasterprone "Pyjamas caused the Holocaust", Mon 4 Oct 2010, 12:59, 213 replies, latest was 15 years ago)
Top Deck did do a lemon and lime too I think

(I helped save b3ta! Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 4 Oct 2010, 13:00, Reply)
Was it not a lager and lime shandy?

(I helped save b3ta! JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 4 Oct 2010, 13:01, Reply)
I don't think so - but Top Deck does sound about right
Incidentally I still call Opal Fruits Opal Fruits. Love em.
(I helped save b3ta! disasterprone "Pyjamas caused the Holocaust", Mon 4 Oct 2010, 13:03, Reply)
I thought Top Deck did normal lemo shandy and also lemon and lime.
Hmmm, who would know this...
(I helped save b3ta! Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 4 Oct 2010, 13:03, Reply)

It was on Channel 4, it had singing cabbages in it. meteors had fallen from space and some had
landed in the cabbages which belonged to some badgers. And there were baddies after the meteors who may have been foxes or wolves or something.

They were beyond bland.

Lucky Charms.
I really love them, they're just so nom. Like Cheerios plus magic.

This was mentioned a while back and everyone was like "no they're horrible, you're imagining the memory of awesomeness" but I got given them for my birthday last year and they were fucking amazing. Not worth the £4 that Selfridges sells them for, but still pretty damn good.

It's probably a good thing they're not still available
they're probably not very healthy. Some of the kids cereal now is shocking, there's a new one called Krunch or something that's basically cereal filled with nutella. And there's a cookie crisp version of cocopops where it's literally bits of cookie in with the already sugared-to-death chocolate rice thingies.

What is the world coming to eh?

My son only gets weetabix, Cheerios, Corn Flakes and Shreddies.

I'd feel like a shit parent if I let him have some of these new fangled ones. Why not just start the day with a kebab, washed down with some cookies?

Golden Grahams
tasty little squares of wonderment, they were. Now you can't get them over here unless you want to pay £7 a pack in Selfridges. AND to add insult to injury, you can still buy the cinnamon grahams (now called curiously cinnamon or something equally as cretinous) which are frankly vile.
However they do still sell them in Spain and I brought some home - not exactly rock n roll, am I?

Although you can imitate them by dumping a mug of sugar onto your rice krispies

They've been discontinued in the UK and have been for some years - I contacted the manufacturer in 2007 I believe.
