Food items/snax you want back.

In line with the TV shows you want back, I've heard this subject on MMM.

What food (loosely defined so it includes snax with no nutritional value whatsoever) did you used to be able to buy, but now you can't and wish you could?

I'll start off with the KFC Bean Salad. I could have lived on that stuff. Every BBQ time, duck down to KFC for a medium coleslaw, large potato and large Bean salad. {Yum}

Loose mixed lollies where you could go to the milk bar and drive the person serving to distraction asking for 3 mates, 4 jelly beans etc or just throw caution to the wind and ask for 20 cents of mixed.

Pluto Pups. Haven't seen them for years, don't know if they still make them. Basically a battered saveloy on a stick that you deep fried.

Crumbed sausages on a pub menu. When I was a kid, Mum and Dad would go to the pub once a month for dinner Friday night. I'd have the crumbed sausages with mash and gravy and a raspberry lemonade. Later while mum and dad were yammering in the bistro, I'd end up behind the bar washing glasses for the publican and yapping to the bar flys cos I was bored.

Anyone else got gastronomic memories of something they'd love to see make a comeback?

When I was a kid you get a small licorice type block wrapped in a footy wrapper with your team's emblem on it. I think they were called Belgians.

Also reminds me of actual licrocie blocks, and [snip] cigarettes which were cigarette shaped licorice sticks. Quite politically incorrect.

RC cola was OK, but I think it was the ad for TAB cola you remember. Wink
