I can't go back that far with my carp fishing but I do miss CC Moore Equinox (only been gone a few years). 1st boilies used properly were Dynamite Baits Pineapple and spicy shrimp and crab

Forgotten About Nash whiskey! I got some as a youngster as they sounded cool at the time didn't catch much on them! 😹

Been Interesting the last 20/30 years watching boilies evolve a change.

Some good bait out there now much better for the fish

Feel like I was a bit late to the scene compared to some on here

I started in 2003 and my first pack of boilies were ritchworths strawberry jam, first time using them and I had a 9 and half mirror that stood as a PB for a few years.
After that it was nash white chocolate that was a winner for me back then, fish seemed to love them on my local

Baitcraft T1, what a bait before they went big time.

DT Baits Fish blood and orange 👌

First boilies I bought were Richworth tuttis

Fresh prawn and spicy shellfish from dynamite baits back in 2006 I believe and I did really well using them.

The one's I can remember from from the 90s were
Nash Strawberry birdfood
Nash Sting
Then Activ 8 was the game changer for me (but it seemed to change in later years didn't quite smell the same unless that was my imagination)
GLM From Eric's the Crossgates shop (when Sam first bought the shop they dabbled in bait making)
These day's I was on Dynamite Source but my water seems to be dominated by Krill baits so had to follow suit

I'm formulating a plan to get hold of the original recipe. If i do, I'm definitely starting to roll myself again.
