I remember this very distinctly. When this memory came back to me I searched everywhere for information on the ‘red’ box of Roses. Despite all my searching and asking hundreds of people, no one new or heard of the ‘red’ box of Roses.

Bitsa Pizza were delicious. I also loved Wheelz Nibbits. They were big bags of wagon (cart) wheel snacks in plain, onion & vinegar and Mexican spice flavour…so tasty. I miss Bird’s Eye Potato Fritters too. Thanks for the video.

[@rw8733]

Burtons made a series of biscuit savoury snacks called Shapes. Lovely.

[@poppykitten6138]

@rw8733 I don't recall them but they sound nice.

[@russell.s4771]

Farmfoods do a very similar product to potato fritters. Mashed potato in a batter. Bite size too.

[@kiwiang983]

Tripe and onion shop next to Town Hall Tavern Wolverhampton….. bliss. Also next door to a coffee bar and not too far from the Golden Egg. Happy days. Also Olde Jamaica chocolate bars. Rum and raisin . Two shillings a block , not cheap, in orange and gold wrapper .

[@stuviewtv]

I certainly remember the Golden Egg!

[@annoldham3018]

Outer spacers took me back. As did Slimcea bread which was pap!😂

[@fionaedin]

Kellogs made Rise and Shine which was the same as Birds Apeel. I used to take it to school as it didn't spill in my school bag!

[@jamie1341]

Those Good News chocolate flavours sound lovely. 😋

[@RobertHoward-d8g]

Barmouth biscuits.... Heaven. My mother used to work in the Sun-Pat sweet packing factory when I was a kid, and often came home with paper bags full of rejected chocolate fondant mis-shapes. I used to be pretty popular at school.

[@stuviewtv]

Marvellous!

[@GradKat]

I loved Cabana bars, Good News chocolates and Peanut Treets. And Birds Eye Instant Whip was often served as a dessert in our house. Zoom lollies were good, too.

[@nicolasykes6637]

I loved the cabana and drifter bars and I also for some unknown reason like tomato flavoured wotsits

[@SimonTBam]

Birds Instant Whip is still available. I almost bought one in Tesco last week.

[@felixwaterman4448]

Much as I dislike supermarkets, I will go in search. A friend tracked down Sandwich Spread recently. I thought that that had disappeared.

[@SM-mm9lo]

Love this blast of nostalgia. United were my favourite ever bar/biscuit. We'd get one of them or a Trio or a penguin with our school lunch, sandwiches and a packet of crisps; Anyone remember Sky Divers crisps? They were a staple in our lunchbox, great times before the food police became a thing 👎. 👍 for this channel taking us back to the good days when people were free to live as they liked. Happy times for me in the late seventies/ eighties ❤

[@stuviewtv]

Many thanks!

[@wrighty338]

Fox's Echo was god tier and to be fair they still make good chocolate biscuits. Love these nostalgia trips!

[@juliethompson5301]

Loved this and stu has a great relaxing narrating voice..I also miss vesta ,toast toppers and chesswood creamed mushrooms 😊I think every blonde boy with glasses in our school got nicknamed joe 90😅😅

[@stuviewtv]

I think my older brother was one of those who got the Joe 90 nickname at school! Thanks Julie for the kind words. Much appreciated.

[@helenag.9386]

Toast toppers! I mis those

[@lisapinfold506]

Or the milky bar kid😊

[@SafetyProMalta]

Toast toppers...😂 yum

[@alanglasgowbassist]

Toast toppers. Loved them! Came in a little can.

[@ange1098]

Loved all of them and miss all of them.

[@tomhaskett5161]

Force cereal was wonderful - 'high over the fence leaps Sunny Jim, Force is the food that raises him'. PanYan pickle tasted a lot of turmeric and tamarind, to my memory. They also made a PanYan sauce at one time.

[@kaydee5352]

Yes you've confirmed my memory of it's taste it had a sort of curry type flavour in my mind..different to branstons pickle😊👍

[@janetdear6429]

❤ cor blimey what a lovely trip down memory lane. Cracking good video thanks 🖤😎👍

[@stuviewtv]

Glad you enjoyed the memories! Many thanks.

[@richardcummins5465]

Oxo crisps, Barratt Triffic, and huge bars of pink and white nougat. Sherbet Pips, American Hard gums,and Aniseed Twist. Lastly sticks of pink Peppermint Rock with the name Brighton running through it. A wonder i have ANY teeth left😊

[@pazthakrar9270]

Another great Video, thanks for the trips to my child hood, yes I had tried Apeel and it tasted powdery nothing like Orange Juice,

[@stuviewtv]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks!

[@herberthartwig8544]

Loved every minute of this Stu! Thanks for the Memories 👍👍

[@stuviewtv]

Glad you enjoyed it! Many thanks.

[@caroleorion1273]

These took me back.wasnt keen on lucky number. Loved skippy bars and topics

[@TheJellyBabyxxxx]

Oooh I loved Cabana bars. And I do vaguely recall drinking Apeel. I think it had a sherberty orange taste. It was nice, loads of flavour & not too sweet. Oooh Outer Spacers! When I only had 5p I used to buy a bag on my way home from school. Starving and trying to savour the flavour lol.

[@smokeyrobinson4918]

Loving this channel - super nostalgic- keep it up Stu!

[@stuviewtv]

That's great to hear! Many thanks.

[@b.m.t.h.3961]

Weekend chocolates were lovely and I loved Hanky Panky and Outer Spacer crisps!

[@wessexdruid7598]

The first B that sprang to my mind was 'Big T' in the early 1970s - a large milk roll version of 'Nimble', from Mothers Pride.

[@backedup39]

Party Seven graced many a New years eve party in my parents house in the 1970s!

[@wirliv]

Loved this vid.

[@1961-v9k]

Some of these I remember, some I had forgotten, and some I’ve never heard of.

[@MayYourGodGoWithYou]

We could even buy Instant Whip in New Zealand, easily and quickly made it was great in summer as a pudding when mum didn't have time to make something more substantial. Strawberry or butterscotch were the preferred flavours from memory, the chocolate not being anything like as nice to eat. Angel Delight is no comparison. Blancmange is another fondly remember relic of my childhood - especially the mocha or the butterscotch - which is gone today. Something else which we could get in New Zealand until the 70s, it was still available in the UK in the 80s when I moved there to live and I regularly purchased it. Then it quietly disappeared like so many other items. Custard is simply no comparison to/replacement for blancmange any more than Angel Delight is to/ for Instant Whip.

[@alisonjordan]

Hello Stu🙋‍♀️ Yes... I remember Apeel orange 🍊 drink... and it certainly did taste like fresh orange juice. Cabana was my favourite chocolate 🍫 bar. Gosh...I had forgotten “Good News” chocolates. Another box of chocolates I remember was “Weekend” and another “Dairy Box.” I recognised Jim Dale in the “Nux” bar advert, but I don’t remember the chocolate. Thanks for a sweet treat down Memory Lane.

[@stuviewtv]

Hi Alison. Weekend was one of my options for W but just lost out in the end to Watney's!

[@cantiaci]

You can still buy Dairy box

[@alisonjordan]

@@cantiaci That is interesting to know. I have not had a box of “Dairy Box” for years... I will see look out for it... Thanks for your text.👍

[@gooeyblob]

@@alisonjordan They were selling Dairy box in Poundland last time I went there.

[@greebo6549]

Fondly remember Ricicles, and Frosties, (if I remember correctly… the same but sugar coated corn flakes), the smell of a newly opened box always brought back memories of caravan holidays as a small child, though they must have changed the recipe at some point, as of a good many years ago it hasn’t smelt quite as I remember 😕

[@Ravenswalk]

Treets were my favourite they melt in your mouth not in your hand after moving to Canada in the 70s I was upset to see that Treets were no longer available.

[@mattwuk]

Melt in your mouth, not in your hand was the tag line for Minstrels.

[@Jb-tl1yi]

@@mattwuk 'The milk chocolate melts in your mouth not in your hand' was originally the slogan for Treets.

[@Spiderbaby66]

Another perfect slice of nostalgia Stu, I remember one New Years eve party in the late 70s when a mates dad tried to open a Watneys Party Seven, we still talk about it now 😂

[@stuviewtv]

They could be lethal in the wrong hands!

[@Spiderbaby66]

​@@stuviewtvhe tried to pierce it with an old style can opener, just had to sit there while he got it full in the face while we sat there laughing

[@rw8733]

Brilliant, Stu. Born in January 1965. Brings back some great memories. Thanks as always. 😊

[@stuviewtv]

Glad you enjoyed the memories! Many thanks as ever.

[@carolebarker2195]

I miss the coffee flavoured walnut whips.

[@1972hermanoben]

Highland Toffee and Walnut Whip still going strong

[@deepfryblue]

i remember Spanish Gold haha it came in a fold out paper pouch(red i think) that resembled proper grown-up tobacco
