When I was a kid in the 80's I used to be facinated with the 'Mr Juicy' cartons in the bakers. They weren't the cartoony design like now, they were more detailed in design with arms and legs! There was orange, apple and I think pineapple juice. I think I liked the picture more than the juice when I finally had one : )

Do Golden Wonder still make their Pot Snack? They sadly sold off Pot Noodle to Walkers I think but later, naturally regretted it...

Re: Retro packaging- your favourite designs

I liked the logo on the old (70s and early 80s) Golden Wonder crisps, and the little cartoon mascot (man with the hat on eating a bag of crisps).

The packaging is so bland now, but I think the GW crisps are still very good.

Dr.Pepper bottle with the polystyrene label.
Always used to scratch my name in it for some reason.

If anyone remembers when Iceland bought up Bejam, didn't they also think Bejam food tasted miles better than Iceland stuff, even though their stores looked run down? Well the Reading one was...I still think Beef Burgers from Birds Eye and Lamb Grills from Ross with chips and marrow fat peas was lush back in the 1980s....

Ariel hasn't really changed its smell has it? The powder I mean. I remember the blue spirograph logo on the front meant hand wash and green was for washing machines - a fancy luxury back then! Then came the merged box with blue and green and it all went wrong....

Lucozade with the orange cellophane makes me remember when I was ill as a child - you'd always be given the stuff 'to make you better', it was more medicinal back then, now its an 'energy drink for sports'....I only ever drank the original version when I was ill. I remember the glass bottle with blobs on it and the metal lid top under the cellophane - I even remember the smell of the cellophane...

We've chatted about packaging before and its never boring on here to repeat it, but everyones right, everything looked better 'back then'.

everything sure did look better and taste better.

one of my faves was the packaging for jamaixa ginger cake.
in fact i think its the same as it always was.

jelly tots was a favourite as well.
do they still exist.

I liked lucozade when it came in a glass bottle with the orange cellophane around it.

Does anyone remember a washing powder packet that was shiny aqua green coloured? It was probably 80s. I really liked that, but can't think of the brand.

Well it's only taken me 5 months to remember it was Biotex that I was thinking of
I did like the Radion orange packet too.

LOL Buzz, I'd have never of noticed if I wasn't looking for it, but yes it does look a bit rude
