80s & 90s Ads - Discontinued British Snacks You Probably Forgot About | Retro TV Adverts Compilation

50 fun 80s & 90s TV adverts for discontinued British snacks - how many of these old school treats do you remember? Some were sold (and still are) in the USA, Australia and many other countries but have since been discontinued in the UK. These ads brought back tons of memories, it’s surreal how many we forgot we loved (and now desperately miss!) and how many we didn’t realise no longer exist (and now really, really want!).

This compilation of childhood memories includes nostalgic television commercials for Britain’s iconic sweets, snacks, cereal, candy, desserts and retro food that no longer exist (sometimes we get lucky and they come back but usually for a limited time only). They’re funny, weird and wonderful. By popular demand, a few companies cashed in on the nostalgia and brought back some of our favourite classic candies, but not often for very long and without the cool toys, prizes, stickers and tokens we used to collect as kids back in the day.

Which should make a comeback? Let us know below!
