How amazing is it that you can taste things even after not having them for a decade or more?

Smell is a big part of taste, and smell had a better memory than any other sense.

Maybe not a discontinued food per se but unfortunately a discontinued food in my life.

When I was in the UK back in 2004 -06 I used to get these pack of 20 icy poles from LIDL.

Half of them were a lemon sorbet kind of thing and the other 10 were an orange sorbet kind of thing and both of them were tangy and delicious as f***. It used to be pot luck diving into the pack and either getting the yum lemon or acquired tasting but just as good if not better orange ones.

Anyone know of them or better still where you can get them in OZ. I wistfully check ALDI every now and again but no luck.

I used to hoover those things up....especially after a smoke. Wouldn't be beyond me to put 20 away in the one sitting they were that addictive.

A few years ago Macca's ditched the curry sauce option for McNuggets.

Now the sweet mustard is gone too.

Disastrous.

Right on.
Smell/taste memory is very powerfull, most of us have had some sort of intense experience because of it.
I know I know, we've all seen Ratatouille

Hoping someone else can remember the name of this Lollypop.

It came in a red packet from what I can remember. Inside the packet was a fake tattoo. The lollypop was a red and white ball top. Maybe white on the top and red on the bottom. It was also bubble gum in the centre. I used to love them as a kid. I think you could buy them at Wollies and newsagents.

 

[Andronicus]

i need these back in my life

Bought a full box of them from the corner store to get me through my final year 12 exams.

Loved having Ritz chips with sweet chilli philly. Circa 2006 from memory, I knew their days were numbered when NQR started stocking them

 

[MadEyeEmmy]

Thought of another one. Hazelnut Rolls ice creams. The absolute best.

I'm not 100% on this but I think you might still be able to get them.

Pretty sure they were Chupa Chups, just different to the regular version.

In regards to KFC Mashies I have it on good authority (my cousin in law is a manager at KFC) that they will be making a return at some point.

You can also find Zig Zag twisties every so often at places like IGA.
