Does anyone remember these products? I honestly thought most of them were not available any more.

I often wondered what became of Vim, Brobat and Brillo pads.
I've also wondered if Brylcreem (the greasy stuff - not gel) is still available in those funny red plastic foil covered pots and if so does it smell the same.

[pastafreak]

You can still get Brillo pads....
..and I love Fisherman's Friend...but I only discovered them 6 or 7 years ago.

I have a pulley in the kitchen and I try to use it rather than the tumbler drier if I can't get the washing out. It is a boon with today's electricity charges.
I could never suck Victory V lozenges for more than half a minute but I did like Zubes.

[boxtops]

You can still get Brillo pads in Tesco.

I used to love Victory V lozenges in the day when they contained chloroform and ether, seriously, they did ! Sadly they now contain nether 'health and safety' bollux.
