For me its the Hope XC headset, a great product that was ridiculously well sealed, the new one is very much less so, so why bother with a new version?
Luckily I have a few, so no need for tears just yet.

I'm sure I think of loads, but whats yours?

And Salt and Shake are still made by walkers, and taste no different IMO.

Texan Bar, the most chewy bar ever made, with a really dodgy catch phrase...

A man's gotta chew what a man's gotta chew.....hmmmmm!

Walkers own Smiths - hence the reason they don't taste different, they're not.

I can tell the difference between walkers & Smiths salt & shake, walkers are softer, more of an oily taste, Smiths must have been cooked a little longer in a good old fashioned unhealthy oil which I'm immune to ๐Ÿ˜‰

Original shape Flite ti saddle.

Original MK1 EBB Tinbred.

IIRC those Brannigan crips aren't the same as old. They certainly aren't in that thick paper/foil bag either. They were indeed the finest crips ever.
