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

[Coffee Druid]

It's not "discontinued", you can still get it from stores with a large enough Latin American clientele, but I miss when Taco Bell had Manzanita Sol in the fountain. I loved that shit - it tasted like just good, fresh apple juice, but also carbonated.

There are six-packs of bottles and a 12 pack of cans at a store near me. That stuff is amazing. Apple is such an underrated soda flavor. I also wish more candy had the "sweet red apple" flavor instead of sour green apple.

A grocery store near me has seasonal flavors of their brand-name sodas. They had a sangria flavor that was basically fruit punch soda, but not too sweet. I haven't seen it around lately.

Unfortunately none of the big name markets here have it, and the latin markets are (a) sketch as fuck and (b) hit or miss on having it anyways.

The best I can do usually is Sidral Mundet, which is similar, but sweeter and less crisp and fresh tasting.

Kind of miss Slice at the moment. Also Sierra Mist back when it didn't taste like shit.

Max N' Cheetos. Slap some in the toaster oven and have a good time.

Try Martinelli's if you have it. Looks like champagne, but it's carbonated apple cider.

 

[whatever I feel like]

There are only a few things I miss to such a degree...

Those Yogos fruit snacks that came in Mixed Berry and Strawberry Banana were my favorite. Loved the berry one, but one day they just were gone forever. What I wouldn't give to eat one more packet.

A drink I REALLY miss is Mr. PiBB. Supposedly it was discontinued in 2001 but I vividly remember drinking it every summer at a pool's snack bar until about 2007ish, saw the label on the machine through the little window too. Dr. Pepper just doesn't hit the same...

Then there was the brief time that Goldfish came out with a new snack called Goldfish Puffs. I liked them more than cheeto puffs, but maybe the fun fish shapes had a placebo effect on me or something. Only bought a couple bags total before inexplicably never seeing them again at the stores not long after. Hope one day they return to the shelves.

Wait second.... I haven't seen Goldfish bags in ages. Did they stop making them or switch to generic plastic?

Regular goldfish are still around with the standard matte paper bag packaging where I am (but I've also seen them be sold in what look like jumbo milk cartons). They just don't sell the cheeto puff variant anymore apparently. It looks like this:

Came in a bunch of flavors that I don't think you could get with the normal ones. I remember the bag had a resealable adhesive lip though, not like this pic but I could be remembering wrong.

Most grocery stores around here have them with all the other pepperidge farm products.

According to eggo they still sell these, but I haven't seen these in any store where I live in over a year. I want them back

Pepsi NEXT It tasted almost exactly like normal Pepsi but half the calories! Way better than Max and Diet.

American here. Dunkaroos are back. I'll try to find a picture I took recently.
Edit: here it is. From last month. I've never had them so I can't say if it tastes the same as before, but hopefully some of you can try it yourselves.

 

[Oogie Boogie Bone Jones]

These shits right here. They just up and vanished and nothing in the world has been right since.

Garfield Tortilla Chips. I remember them being sold at this discount department store that still sold NES games well into the mid 1990s in my area. They had this really cheap taste and texture but they were really good if you know what I mean. Like, you wouldn't mistake it for a high-quality product, but it had a really nice cheap cheese flavouring, almost like off-brand Doritos that I've never tasted anywhere else. I haven't found anything that tastes quite like them since the mid-1990s.

Anyway there's a story to go with this. I was sure these chips existed, but for years I could find no reference to them online and no one I know in real life seemed to remember them. Someone in the same boat pieced together proof of their existence through old newspaper flyers and posted it online. It turns out they were only in Canada and even here they were a very obscure product:

Dunkaroos have been available at 7-Eleven locations for a while now. I had 'em last year and I found the cookie to be good but the icing feels different.

Oh wow, I just noticed they started labeling the flavor that's out now as vanilla. Does this mean they're bringing back the chocolate frosting?

Anywho, back in the early 2010s Wonka had this huge line of gummies that were great. These in particular were pretty bomb.

EDIT: Insert image does not like me today.

I haven't seen this for over 10 years and I've been thinking recently of how good it was. Yes, I can make my own, but I miss this.

The store also phased out the Knorr Creamy Pesto sauce and I want to hurt somebody over it. Can you make a creamy pesto out of a regular pesto maybe? I dunno. I'm gonna miss that shit tho.
I think they may also be phasing out the Knorr alfredo and I just hate everything.

Altoids Sours were the best

I liked Ginger too. My favorite Sours were the Tangerine ones. Altoid tins were also the best for saving tiny computer parts, screws, various substances, and Limor Fried (Lady Ada) once did a how-to on how to build an MP3 player into one.

While it's not discontinued, I miss actual Burger King food from 20 years ago. It's amazing how after some formula and ingredient changes, Burger King went from top tier level fast food to bottom of the shit barrel.

I miss when they had the best fish sandwich you could buy at a fast-food joint. The BK Big Fish was awesome. Last time I bought it a few years ago, it was literally cat food-tier. Actually it wasn't even that, because I put a bit of it out for the cat and she refused to eat it.
