Last but not least Naff Naff, they were big in the 80's when i was at school. Have not seen them since.

Thundercats crisps. The ones in the blue pack were ace.

Beetop sauce.

Used to only seem to be able to find this stuff in Liverpool and would stock up on it when we went to stay with family there. IT WAS THE BEST BROWN SAUCE EVER.
