Are you ready to be hit with NOSTALGIA?
First things first, there's no denying that Scotland has a history of producing iconic snacks and drinks (full sugar Irn Bru I miss you).
Whether it's a Tunnock's Teacake, a Scotch pie or a class of Barr-anything-ade we've certainly got a serious range of delicious treats that few outside of Scotland get to encounter.
However, there are some that time forgot and after a heated Edinburgh Live team discussion we've collated some Scottish delights from your childhood and years gone by that you may have forgotten about.
Highlander Crisps
These were absolute god-tier level crisps. Forget your Kettle Chips, a bag of tomato-flavour Highlander was where it was at when you were a bairn.
Why did the multi-packs only ever have one bag of tomato? Child cruelty in our opinion.
The West Lothian factory unfortunately shut down in 2013 and the producer of stingiest salt and vinegar crisps ever went out of business.
Irn Bru Bars
Combining two Scottish favourites - Irn-Bru and sweets - was always going to be a winner and if you had a spare 10p these bars were a no-brainer.
These tangy, chewy, stretchy sweeties came in a vibrant orange colouring and were loved by schoolchildren across the country.
Created by the company behind Wham bars and Highland Toffee they are no longer in production (much to the relief of dentists) and it looks like they aren't coming back anytime soon, sadly.
Creamola Foam
Creamola Foam (now available again under the guise of Krakatoa Foam, don't be fooled) was a brightly coloured tin filled with flavoured crystals that when added to water, created a raspberry, orange, lemon or cola soft drink that was fizzy and foaming.
Created in the 50s in Glasgow, they combined the fun of a science experiment with a delicious drink - you can get the new version sure, but nothing will taste quite like the original.
Highland Toffee
The famous 'Coo Candy' is arguably one of Scotland's most recognisable sweets and was an effective loose tooth remover when we were wee.
Sporting the Heilan’ Coo logo this delicious toffee treat was even exported round the world at the height of its popularity - unfortunately it isn't in production anymore and what we'd give to get a sugar-hit from one just one more time.
Barr's D&B
Barr's Dandelion and Burdock shared a historical origin with root beer and sarsaparilla, which were originally made from lightly fermented root extracts - and it was probably the strangest tasting fizzy juice ever.
Lucky Tatties
So named because in some original versions a lucky person could find a charm or toy inside them.
However, they are more fondly remembered as a tasty (and fiery hot) cinnamon treat.
What do you think: which of these six treats would you MOST like to make a full comeback?
