Cola Vanilla

Ruffles Flavor Rush Big BBQ and Cheddar potato chips.

Bassett's Wine Gums. After Eight. Had they only been discontinued, I would be almost fine with it. But the packages are still in the stores, filled with off-brand weak copies of the original products. Fuck Mondelez and Nestlé and everything they stand for. Not just because of this, but especially because of this.

QFC used to make seltzer water flavored like root beer, Dr. Pepper (it was called "Hint of the Doctor Flavor which is downright hilarious), and cola. The product line was discontinued due to lack of popularity and I miss it every day.

Schöller Pirulo Jungly

Loved it, this was my favorite Schöller ice!

Cruncheroos

Maruchan Jalapeno Cheddar Instant Lunch

Taco Bell Enchirito, it comes back sometimes but very rarely.

Waffle Crisp. Not the new one the original from '99ish

The original Alphabet cereal. Not this sugar coated crap they sell nowadays.

Also, C-3PO cereal from the 80s. I can't say I've ever found anything that tastes the same.

I miss Kmart and Kmart's Smart Sense low calorie lemonades: https://i.imgur.com/W0DzcZS.jpeg

They tasted so.. weird.. but man I loved em. We bought all of them when stores were closing. Still have a few in the garage for rainy days.

There was a sort of yogurt cup that was very spongy, not quite cheese cake thick but close. It was delicious and i forgot what it's called.

Looked it up just now and it might be the Yoplait Whips, but the container is different from what i remember (obv they changed it like all others).

I don't think i could find that in a local store though

Josta 🥰

McDonalds bacon egg and cheese bagel along with Jack in the Box's ciabatta breakfast sandwich.

Brisk fruit punch and sidekicks garlic alfredo spaghetti. Sad days when those were discontinued

When I was a super young kid, I remember going to the store occasionally, where my mom would rarely buy me these yogurt gummy candies as a treat. I absolutely loved them, they were delicious. However, they were discontinued or something like 20 years ago. There isn’t much I wouldn’t do to get more of them. I’d even make them myself if I could find a recipe.

I think the brand name was Campinos. IIRC they were mostly a hard candy brand, but those soft candies were a million times better than any other candy I could have had as a kid.

Edit: I just googled them since they were on my mind. It seems like they’re out of stock everywhere but here’s a product listing https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/campino-yogourt-gummies-120g/10192347

Polly waffles

They only answer I'd ever give.

Buitoni Instant Pizza

Quaker Crunchy Corn Bran was a cereal that had a terrible name, but was SO yummy. Puffins are similar, but not quite right.

Ocean Spray made a Cranberry Key Lime cocktail for a very short while and I loved it.

Eggo used to make a Nutragrain version, and since I only eat toaster waffles with peanut butter and syrup, I couldn't taste the difference and it made for a healthier breakfast.

I have nostalgia for things like Clearly Canadian and Orbitz, but pretty sure I wouldn't actually like them anymore.

The original Pizzaria Uno cream of broccoli soup from the 90s. It was maybe the perfect version of that soup.

Bear Valley pemican bars. 450 calories in the size of a cliff bar and honestly pretty good tasting. Dry so you needed water but had good flavor.

Dunkin Donuts movie tie-in drink from Men in Black 3. I think I got one every day for the 3 months it existed.

I’d say Planter’s Cheez Balls and lime green skittles, but people wised up and brought those back recently.

Morton Mini Donuts, covered in sugar n cinnamon. Pop in the oven, crisp and hot. Haven't seen them since the mid 80s. Sad

McSkillet burrito, so yummy :(

Smurfberry Crunch
