I remember I used to love the cheesey tots from Burger King. My mom would buy us some on the way to school when I was younger and it was always my favorite part of the morning. They brought them back a couple years ago I wanna say and they weren't as good, but maybe I was just eating them with rose-flavored tastebuds.

They were so good! You can go to the store and see a ton of different novelty waffles and they don't hold a candle to these.

After thinking for a moment when are they going to bring these back on Wal-Mart or any other big name store nearby, I decided to check their site. Unfortunately it seems they have deleted the pages dedicated to each of these flavors, presumably discontinued.


To say I'm mad is an understatement as there was no other ice cream I quite enjoyed like the mexican coffee one, made with no cornslop (HFCS) or any other B.S. additives that made my throat feel like slime. It was truly amazing and its a travesty there isn't anything else to replicate it.

That's the only thing that I can remember which disappeared from the shelves at some point.
Rarely eat stuff like this nowadays but would probably inhale a couple of boxes of Trio should they bring it back.

I still see the popsicles. I've never seen the pints though. Now I feel bad I missed them.

Mikesell's potato chips, which may just be a SW Ohio thing, used to have a Cincinnati Chili flavored chip that was a really good with some sour cream and shredded cheddar. Got canned, but they kept their objectively inferior smoked bacon flavor.

Not food, but who in the fuck decided it would be a good idea to discontinue the citrus flavor of Listerine in the US? They stopped making it here claiming it wasn't selling and yet they now have a fucking "grapefruit rose" flavor, like that's going to sell any better. The only bearable flavor left's either the purple or the higher strength Therabreath, everything else is 29 different varities of mouth burning mint because some suit thought letting Indonesia have exclusive use of citrus mouthwash was a good idea.

Arby's potato cakes. They were goyslop, but they were nostalgic goyslop that brought back pleasant childhood memories. After they got rid of them I stopped giving a fuck about Arby's all together and haven't been since.
 
Back in the 80s, in Michigan, in almost every grocery store, in the frozen section, there were frozen pizzas that came 2 or 3 in a stack. They had a little white label, they weren't any of the major brands, they weren't even very good. Just 2 or 3 frozen pizzas on a cardboard disk, shrink wrapped. They only ever had 2 or 3 varieties... Cheese, or pepperoni (it was always the little cubed pepperoni), and I think they had a "combo" that was pepperoni sausage and green peppers. I don't know who made them. I don't think it was one company - I think there were different companies that all put out their own version, but they were all pretty much the same. Two or three medium-ish size pizzas, stacked on top of each other, on a cardboard disk.

And they weren't great.

But I wish I could still find them. I get so nostalgic for them sometimes. Me and my dad used to get them sometimes when mom was away. Sometimes we would put stuff on them, shred some cheddar cheese, or open a can of canned mushrooms, or something.

Again: Not good pizzas. I just miss the memories.

Those just sound like Totino's Party Pizzas without the box, or those Tony's pizzas without the paper insert.

Something like Tony's, quality wise. Crust was a little thicker and bread-ier, as I recall. I actually remember them being (not to reference my moniker, but...) very similar in most respects to school pizza of the era, except they were round and not rectangular.

I feel like I sorta remember what you're talking about although I'm probably a bit younger and it would have been in the early and mid 90s for me. It was like a Tony's for sure. I remember sometimes when we had absolutely nothing else going for dinner, mom didn't want to cook that we'd pull them out of the recesses of the freezer. They certainly were not good, but they were reliably mediocre.

I saw them into the 2000s, but they got harder and harder to find - you would only find them at little backwoods gas stations and mom-and-pop IGAs and stuff by the time I left Michigan.

Was it like a Hunt Brother's Pizza then? That's the only gas station pizza I know of.

No no, nothing like that. This wasn't a hot food thing, it was purely a frozen take-and-bake pizza. I'm talking the type of backwoods gas stations that tend to serve as a mini grocery store for the area, you had them a lot in Michigan. Something a little better than a party store, but not really a true grocery store.

Oh my god I haven't thought about those things in years. I left Michigan in the early 2000s but grew up there in the 80s. I can even remember how they tasted.
