As the days get colder and the rain more frequent, I've found myself looking back through photos from the summer. I was lucky to have a very busy few months after finishing my first year of university and had the best time so I thought I'd do a recap of everything I got up to. Festivals I'd never been to a festival before and this year I went to 3! The first was The Isle of Wight Festival which was just amazing and I definitely think it's a festival for everyone to enjoy. We were able to see some amazing artists including Lewis Capaldi, Tom Grennan, The Kooks, Rudimental, Madness, Shaggy and so many more. I did end up burning myself really badly on the first day, despite frequently applying suncream but that was a small price to pay and I've already planned to go again in 2023! I also went to Boomtown which is a different kind of experience music wise but was so good to spend time with my boyfriend - Ryan and our friends. Also, the sets were incredible, and the eff...
I was talking with my family recently about snacks that have been discontinued in the U.K and have come up with a list of things I would love to see back on our shelves! Admittedly most of these are chocolate but that's only because there were so many to choose from!
2) Calippo Shots - As a child this would always be my choice when the sun decided to show itself. Everyone I knew would also see how quickly they could eat them which almost always ended in brain freeze! I was surprised to see they had been discontinued though.
3) Mars Delight - I'm pretty sure these were never around long anyway but I would still love to have another. It was just a much lighter and crispier version than an actual Mars Bar, and sometimes that's exactly what you need.
4) Panda Pops - Terrible for you but also so good. I'm pretty sure these were discontinued due to how much rubbish they had in them but boy do they make me think of my childhood! The cherry flavour was always my favourite.
5) Cadbury Yowies - A lot 'of people don't remember these but they were originally Australian (came to the UK in early 2000s) and came in foil packaging with one of the 'Yowie characters' on. Inside was a hollow chocolate figure, small collectable toy and a message about saving the environment. I love these growing up and I was so pleased to hear that they might be making a comeback in Australia - I'll have to get my hands on one!
6) Flake Snow - Now I wouldn't say that I am absolutely gutted about these but I would definitely be interested in giving them a try again. It's pretty self explanatory but essentially it is a white Flake, covered in Cadbury's normal milk chocolate.
7) Aqua Drops - I had honestly forgotten about how nice these were until recently. They came in a handy little pot and were green and white apple sweets. Again probably not great for you but I loved to have one during car journeys.
8) Galaxy Truffle - Remember these? I was so shocked when I realised that Celebrations didn't feature these anymore! They were never my favourite but I still enjoyed them, especially around Christmas time!
9) Cadbury Snaps - Think Pringles but chocolate. I wouldn't say they were the best thing Cadbury ever did but they were always great to snack on. You know how you can eat your way through a tube or Pringles without realising it? Well these are the same and I would love to try them again for sure. You can get some knock of versions I think, but nothing compares to Cadbury, does it!
10) Cadbury Dream - I'm not a real lover of white chocolate but I did like to have these every so often. In my opinion Cadbury does the best chocolate. So a white chocolate alternative to their Dairy Milk, and I know some people who prefer white over milk chocolate so I'm surprised they got rid of it!
