Those fish and chip crisps tasted like cardboard! They did chicken and chips ones too.
I loved these little piggy shaped ones that were bacon flavour (quelle surprise).
They used to do these pudings too that came in a packet like Angel Delight, but the pud was warm and you had some stuff to sprinkle on the top? I think they were chocolate or butterscotch or something.
Beef Monster Munch rocked (the ones in the yellow packet with the pink monster on them). And do you remember those yoghurts that were monster shaped pots and they had feet? And the posh kids at school had packets of cartoonies in their lunch box or those Cadburys animal biscuits.

Yep, cartoonies had chocolate inside them. The other thing people went mad for but I didn't like, well, we didn't get them actually, but no kiddies Birthday party was complete without..... Iced Gems. And they tasted like carboard too.
Hellie, I remember being seriously impressed because they were shaped like fish. And chips ironically. But alas they were horrible.
In fact, in hindsight, most 80s treats tasted like crap. I must have spent from 1984-1990 high on E-numbers.

PF, I don't think my mum knew what pasta was when I was little!
Dad would make fish pie, shepherds pie, liver and bacon casserole, etc on occassion but mostly it was sausage and chips, burger and chips, chicken nuggets and chips, pizza and chips..... you can see a theme emerging here. It was more due to my brother's fussiness than their laziness to be fair.
I remember those Rainbow Drops too, and Lucky Charms! And those Eyeball bubble gums you got from the ice cream man.
And like people swear that wagon wheels and monster munch were bigger, I am sure Calypso lollies were longer.
