My dad would get a bag of taco doritos everyday after school when he was a kid and he'll still buy a bag once in a while. Every time he has them he tells us that the new ones suck and give us the "back in my day we only had 2 flavors of doritos" speech

Did they actually get rid of them now? I stopped going after I went and they said that munchie meals could only be ordered through the app… really sick of this trend of fast food place apps.

RIP to a real one, it used to be the best 24h drive thru option.

in the website instead of showing the different burgers you could order, you just get a "build your own meal" prompt and the only burgers there are some of the basic ones, and this is the same on the restaurants, so unless you wished you could change your munchie meal fries for onion rings, this is an absolutely worse deal IMO.

They may still be in production, I think it's just walmart being a massive anus by removing them and then forgetting to remove what they removed.

I'm looking online and they don't seem to be discontinued. I had this issue with Walmart before. Try another store and see if they ring up. I'm thinking they should.

Back in the early 2000's Starbucks would have this chocolate drink in the winter. It was thick, thick almost sludge, served in a tiny cup. And that was all any sane person could drink. It was so rich it was pretty much a dessert in a cup. Like liquid Pot de Creme. Don't remember the name, but ai think it was around in 2003-5. Amazing stuff.

If it's the Chantico, a cafe I worked at when I was younger had to create an analogous drink to it because people would walk in and order like it was Starbucks and just leave when we didn't have a frappuccinos or whatever so they changed the menu. I worked there years later than what you mention and our take on it was still on the menu then, so I'm guessing you're not the only one who misses them. The one we made used to basically congeal if you let it get cold, it was so stupidly rich. Can't remember the recipe exactly as it's been a while, but we would mix cream, whole milk, and cocoa powder in a saucepan, never letting it boil, took it off the flame, melted chocolate pastilles in it, then warmed it back up whilst whisking over a flame until everything was unctuous and foamy.

That’s it! I couldn’t remember the name. It was so ridiculously rich. I looked it up, apparently Starbucks used a bunch of cocoa butter in it. Heart attack in a 6oz cup.

I would strangle me grandma for some delicious ketchup flavored pringles chips. I don't know do they make those still in Murricas but haven't seen any here on east Europe for years.

I was salivating over a bowl of Jolly Time's microwavable cheddar popcorn (called The Big Cheez) when I suddenly realized that I haven't seen their "Kettle Mania" brand of microwavable kettle corn on store shelves recently. I honestly preferred it over their regular kettle corn due to it having these nice flecks of browned sugar that would give it a nice caramel-like flavor profile. Their site still lists a bunch of flavors but sadly Kettle Mania isn't one of 'em.

This shit was so good back in the day, I don't even like Mountain Dew, but I made an exception for this stuff.


Hard as a rock and sticky as anything, but damn it was good. The new stuff doesn't compare.


Classic, sweet as fuck, and damn it was good.

Squeezits kind of made a comeback in the form of Kool-Aid Bursts and MTN Dew Game Fuel Citrus-Cherry recently returned to stores (it even has Halo branding on it) alongside a second Game Fuel flavor.

EDIT: French Toast Crunch is also available as well.

Fun fact, this was the first Mountain Dew I ever tried.

Kool-Aid Bursts came out when Squeeze-It was still popular, around the mid-90s. Sucks Squeeze-It is gone tthough.

I fucking miss Cheez Waffies. I ate the shit outta these as a kid and haven't seen a bag in 20 years. The cheez was fake and tangy as hell, but they had a weird addictive quality.

I miss Quiznos. Their subs were so much better than Subway.

There are still locations left. For example, Quizno's that's located in my old neighborhood is still around. And yes, Quizno's was way WAY better (albeit pricier) than Subway

Game fuel was great. Someone I know still has a case on a display shelf with some other halo crap.

We only have one location left here in Ohio and its hours away from me
