15 of the best Spice Girl products ever
Today marks 21 years since The Spice Girls released Wannabe. Yes, 21 whole friggin' years. We can't believe it either.
For those who were under 10 during The Spice Girl reign, you may feel like they were around for-ever but - brace yourselves for another shocker - Geri was only in the group for less that two years. She broke hearts around the world by announcing her departure from the group in May 1998.
But, despite their short career as Sporty, Scary, Posh, Baby and Ginger however, the five sold over 80 million records worldwide. This makes them the best-selling female group of all time, one of the best-selling pop groups of all time, and the biggest British pop phenomenon since Beatlemania. Not bad.
To celebrate our favourite female band of all time, we look back at the best Spice Girl memorabilia - which didn't you have? If you gave it away, this may make you want to get on Ebay and buy back all the collectables. We've just got our fingers and toes crossed for the rumoured reunion…

Kicking off with one of our all-time-favourite collectables, it's the Chupa Chups collaboration.
Do you remember the plastic headsets that came with the Spice lollies too? You wore them on your head and you could sing along like you were in the band. Dream. Dream. Dream.
Ah, yes. The Pepsi cans with each Spice Girls face on it. Obviously we had them all.
Would you rock this pink, love heart ode to the girls now?
We think Cadbury's positively peaked with this packaging. In fact, we think they should bring it back for the 20th anniversary as a one-off.
This is too good. What do you reckon Vicky B would think of it now? Classy, hey!
Because, frankly, you can never have (read: wear) the Spice girls close enough to your heart.
Getty ImagesAnother confectionary delight. It was a pretty good marketing scheme to have each bar as a different Spice, don't you think? You just had to buy them all. Thanks mum.
Rex FeaturesWe're not sure that each Spice was assigned to the right flavour. Cheese & Onion just doesn't feel right for Posh Spice, does it? We totally thought that was back when Salt and Vinegar was blue and Cheese and Onion was green, anyway.
ebay.comThe girls really, really loved Pepsi.
Getty ImagesWe mean, aren't these just the best dolls ever? Barbie officially got sacked off the years these landed...
the happyskull.comOne word. Nos. Stal. Gia.
Remember the slogan: "Wear nothing but Spice Impulse". Not sure we did that but good Lord, we doused ourselves in it. Oh, those were the days!
myspicegirlscollection.comWould it work as "kitsch" nowadays? Or just no...?
myspicegirlscollection.comAh, the George at Asda tie. 98% polyester. 100% 1998.
myspicegirlscollection.comThese velcro straps may just be the best thing we've ever seen...
Rex Features...as for this cap, sadly it just hasn't stood the test of time quite as well. Wouldn't you agree?
