Dark chocolate coated rice cakes.

They're lovely and even though the picture there shows they are vegan, about 2 years ago the dark chocolate ones gained an added ingredient, milk. No warning, no notice, just the allergic reaction to tell me something was amiss.

I wonder if they're vegan again. I'll check tomorrow when I venture out of the house for the first time in a month or more.

There used to be this juice made by Welch’s called Berry Sunsplash. It was probably mostly high fructose corn syrup and artificial flavour, but it was so good. We called it red juice. I miss it!

Also, bitter lemon. Apparently it’s quite popular in the UK but very hard to find here.

You wouldn’t find it in every supermarket but it is well liked.
Hmm you just made me add some to my food order 😂

If your family ever send you food parcels Marks n Sparks do some really nice dark chocolate rice cakes (no dairy listed).
I particularly like the mini’s, about £3 for five packs 😋

Back when I was much younger, it was used in some kind of punch too.

It's still available here as well.

Garbage can punch?
OJ was a staple in garbage can punch almong my group. And the concentrate was cheaper than the ready made.
 
One that the environmentally-minded won’t like, but I miss paper mail-order catalogs.

I also miss Barq’s soft drinks, back when they came in the distinctive glass bottles and were available in a multitude of flavors/colors. Now, Barq’s just have root beer and cream soda.
 
Also, the cereal part (meaning, not the marshmallows) of all the Monster cereals (Count Chocula, Frankenberry, Boo Berry, etc) - they completely retooled that some years ago and it’s horrible now.

No, at least it wasn't called that where I came from. It was served at church functions for ladies and girls. Think it had orange sherbet as well, and 7-Up or Sprite or something similar.
