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

[GenociderSyo]

This food was discontinued, and then brought back: Planters Cheez Balls.

I really liked them as a kid, so I was eager to pick some up for a party about a month ago. I couldn't find any so I settled for the Utz ones instead, which I hadn't tried before.

They seem to be store specific, I've found them in Stop and Shop.

These were so great, the creme was ten times better than an Oreo but not like unadulterated sugar.

On a related note, was I dreaming, or did the original Oreo O's cereal have little creme marshmallow pieces in it? I was so disappointed when they brought it back and it was just cookies. Probably explains why I'm more of a savory snack person now.

 

[Pizza Time]

Maxed Out/Mega Lunchables. In particular the deep dish pizza or the pizza stix versions. I rarely got them as a kid because of the price and when I got old enough to buy them myself I realized they were discontinued.


3D Doritos. I used to rinse out the containers and keep small toys or pencils in them.

 

[Agent Abe Caprine]

These things were the best. 12 year old me would eat entire bags of them. Not sure why these got discontinued. Maybe low sales.

I'd bring these to school and got asked for a bite once. Being a complete sperg, I didn't think it was a bad idea to share them.

The kid started coughing after trying one. No one ever asked to try my food after that.

I know these were pure sugar, but I still miss them. Just look at how rad that dinosaur is.

 

[Jason Wynn]

The orange ones were the clear winner, but berry was pretty good as well.

 

[Mr. Skeltal]

Wasabi ginger chips were objectively the best Lay's have had to offer in recent years. Too bad they were promotional.
Cheetos Asteroids and 3D Doritos will always be a desired comeback alongside Pepsi Blue because I'm a filthy nostalgia driven manchild.

I miss the pecan Chunky bars. Now all you can get are the ones with peanuts and raisins.

I miss being able to buy Nestle's Milk Chocolate bars at a store in the USA. Last place I found the regular size bars was at a Smart&Final store about twenty years ago. You could buy the bigger bars online until a few years ago, and you could get the little "fun size" bars until about a year ago. Nowadays if you want Nestle's Milk Chocolate bars you have to go on eBay and buy them from suppliers in Europe. Buy mine from a lady in Portugal. Get 12 125-gram bars for about $56. Lady packs the bars well. I eat a bar every now and then.

I remember it was reformulated in the early 00s to have marshmallows for some reason? Then it was discontinued a little bit later.

I found some in a Cracker Barrel recently, still very good.

 

[Billy "the Bot" Bobson]

I miss the Dragon Fruit Icebreakers Cubes. It was the taste of my childhood. I think they changed the recipe shortly before they stopped making them, because it tasted like shit at the end.

Lmao. That's where I found this one

I literally just found out Freschetta no longer makes this:

Now I'm sad. For frozen pizza this was some good shit.

Those sauce stuffed crusts were really comfy. Round in the UK they were sold as Chicago Town. I need to check if they still are. But I musn't eat them because I'm greggnant enough.

The marshmallows were a later addition iirc.

Also, I miss those cremewiches.

this has probably been said earlier in the thread but

these lil sum-bitches

i barely remember how they tasted, but i remember it was fuckin good

They still make the orange ones but you may already know that. I never had the berry or lime. I had one of the orange ones recently, and it tasted a lot different than I remember it. I suppose your tastebuds as a child are a lot more accustomed to really sugary snacks.

I only had these once but they are so fun and tasty. They are impossible to find in grocery stores so I can only imagine they are discontinued.

 

[Orion Balls]

This stuff was wonderful. There were three different flavours, but this one had rosemary and lemon balm.

This is solely nostalgia for me, but Pepsi Blue. My family is hardcore Team Coke, but the when we moved into my childhood home we had no food in the fridge for a couple days except for a fuckload of Pepsi Blue we got for free from an event we went to as a break from moving boxes. It didn’t even taste like Pepsi, but blue cotton candy.

One of our neighbors at that house worked in a Coke bottling factory and would give us free cases of new drinks before he moved away. Im not a coffee person but I recall thinking Coke Blac wasn’t too bad.

My favorite Dairy Queen Blizzard was the Midnight Truffle. RIP

Skittles fucked up when they replaced lime skittles with green apple ones to match international mixes. True, lime skittles are now in another mix, but the original fruit mix of my childhood is gone save for limited edition releases. The smell of the bag was so good, and lime mixed well with every flavor. I hate green apple candies because they always smell and taste floral to me. Green apple skittles are not the exception.
