Discontinued Foods That We Miss. - A memorial for those gone too soon.

[Spl00gies]

These niggers were the shit.

 

[LolRaccoon]

The original Mountain Dew Game Fuel and MDX. Those drinks were the bomb.

 

[nekrataal]

I miss this beer so much

 

[Crystal Golem]

There was a particular flavor of sobe I want to say orange mango something? It was one of the "milky" looking ones. Sobe seems to be back on the shelves again but I can't find that flavor. A bottle of that stuff, some doritos, a copy of Diablo 2 and my parents utter refusal to interact with the phone after 10pm made for some very anti-social Friday nights.

 

[Sylvie Paula Paula]

The cola in the Lunchables from the early 2000s. That shit was delicious.

 

[Sea creature]

This was my shit. To this day I still crave Metromint.

Like the art on the packaging. 1990s things had effort in the design of the box. How very standard.




These were like beer as a soda.




They now have Reese's Take 5. It's a dollar store count of three truffles per serving.




Goddamn, I hate the powers that be for killing this.

fuckin yogos those were god tier

never got to have them much as a kid bc my parents were insistent on always buying "organic" foods but whenever i got a chance to have these they were the shit 10/10

i wonder why they were discontinued though?

You two are after my heart. These were so delicious

I miss the Italian Cheese Blend Gardetto’s the most. Chex Mix also had this Honey BBQ flavor in the late 90s. I would mix the Bold and Honey BBQ flavors together - so good.

You can still find Gardetto's Italian Cheese Blend at Dollar Tree if you're in the US.

Pepsi Blue was horrible the first time I tried it and I paid it no mind for several months, until I decided to give it another chance, and it grew on me, and then I loved it.

But then it was discontinued, never to come back to America.

goodbye my love

I remember this tasted like pine tree but I don't know of anyone else who tried it. Did it taste like pine or am I just going senile?

Around 2008 there was this chip brand called Flat Earth that was a spin-off under the Frito Lay umbrella that made "healthy" vegetable chips and stuff. Well they had these Wild Berry Patch chips that were really, really tasty. I miss them a lot.

It's been a few years, but I also miss Ruffles smokehouse barbecue chips. They were absolutely the best barbecue chips and it's disappointing they got rid of them but keep doing stupid limited edition weird flavors.

I just picked up a bag of Ruffles Smokehouse Barbecue flavored chips last week at the market, so they're back dude. Though, honestly I didn't find them to be that great. I think Lay's Sweet Southern Heat Barbecue are far superior a barbecue chip.

Went through all twenty pages and remembered just as much stuff miss as I had originally intended to mention but other people have but here we go:
For food I have the Jack it the Box Colossus:

Basically a lovechild between a baconator and a double quarter pounder, also I have Ben and Jerry's Willie Nelson's Peach Cobbler swear to Christ this stuff was crack in ice cream form:

For drinks I miss Snapples carbonated clear root beer:

Maxwell House's Cappio, for a cheap coffee brand this stuff was pretty decent:

This stuff still sold in Germany but for a couple years there was a coffee shop by my house that sold this and I was hooked it was some the smoothest and strongest cola I've ever had. It's possible to get it ordered online but it costs a kidney in shipping.
And finally I remember this, Coca-Cola's attempt at a soda titled after the most known phrase in the world just above their namebrand:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OK_Soda Just looking at the cans and this stuff screams SJW douchefag and anyone holding a can of it should get punched and no conviction coming to the one who threw said punch.

My husband buys Afri Cola at Arco/AM PM all the time so if you have one near you, try there. He just drank one last night.

First had these on a flight a while ago and bought them for a while after the fact when I got back home but they just vanished from store shelves and ever since I haven't been able to find them

I loved Pepsi Blue, it tasted nothing like pine trees to me. But then again, I can eat cilantro just fine and it tastes like soap to some people.

I thought you could get these at Costco or Sam's Club?

Yeah, I noticed recently. I shared a bag with my folks, and my mom said the same thing you did about the Southern Heat. Unfortunately she's right, but I still really like the Ruffles Smokehouse.

I know they still make them, but I haven't been able to find them anywhere around here

Fry's Five Centres. A hollowed out chocolate bar with a lucky dip of strawberry, orange, raspberry, lemon, or pineapple filling. Discontinued 1992.

The markedly inferior Chocolate Cream, Orange Cream, and Peppermint Cream are still going though.

Rest in power Five Centres.

There is an orange cream? Wtf where do they sell them

ASTROS.
This has been mentioned a few times in this thread.
But it bears repeating.
These things are god damn amazing.
For yanks: Think better Crispy M&Ms.
For non-colonial oldfags: Think Smarties with a big honking cookie ball in the middle.
They are still available in certain markets, but I have yet been able to bring myself to pull the trigger on the dodgy foreign food market markup plus shipping.
Fucking tempted though as I type this.

 

[AltisticRight]

Hate the "newer ones".

 

[General Disarray]

Getting harder to find Maruchan Ramen in the Roast Beef flavor so stock up!
Taco Bell used to make you an Enchirito if you asked. Now, they won't (can't?).
Ore-Ida's cheesy hash-browns, patties you'd fry up in a pan.
Date bar mix.
Salerno butter cookies.
All kids' cereals changed for the worse IMO. That might just be my taste buds. King Vitamin ftw.
