I've heard that Pepsi Blue is coming back, but I don't know the details. It was too sweet for my liking.



Funny enough, chicken wing prices are going through the roof due to low supply/high demand. Boneless wings are following suit, I guess.

Ngl, i'm not a fan of boneless wings. It's either a chunk of chicken, or a glorified chicken nugget ngl. But huh I wasn't aware wing prices were going up.

These were the shit. They were always some of my favorites to get trick-or-treating as a kid. They got discontinued in 2006.

Not sure if El Monterey Tornados are officially discontinued or not, but I haven't been able to find them in stores for about a decade. I think you can still find single servings at gas stations from time to time. The cheesy pepper jack ones were my favorite.

I've seen them served hot at convenience stores, but not in boxes.

I've only seen these at Speedway and some other convenience stores/gas stations
 
Why the fuck is it that every time something changes to a shittier formula they always bring back the old better one as a "limited time" deal? Mountain dew throwback is one of the examples of these. There's weird inverse versions of this like that limited "new coke" re-relase. I never saw that in stores when they brought it back somehow. To get the Original non-cocaine version of coke you have to pay extra for what they call "mexican coke" which has always been fucking surreal as shit to me. This is starting to dive less into the discontinued foods stuff and more a weird situation of something else thats somewhat similar but It's always fucking bugged the shit out of me.

I've probably already mentioned it before but in 2019 Dr Pepper had a "dark berry" flavor to promote Spider-Man: Far From Home, it was fucking delicious and I wish it wasn't so short lived and they would bring it back.

Another thing I'm sure has been mentioned is Ecto-Cooler, the return of which was the only good thing about Ghostbusters 2016, maybe they'll bring it back again for the new movie.

You have to pay extra for mexican coke since it usually comes in glass bottles. If it doesn't come in glass bottles, it actually costs the same. Around the time of many Jewish Holidays you'll see pure sugar coke in stores and to double check you gotta check the ingredients, because it looks just like regular coke. Like there's no difference in the label, supposedly the cap would be colored yellow for a 2 liter bottle but that was a regional thing.

Thing is there's glass bottle coke which is just normal post-new-coke cancellation corn syrup coke and THEN there's "mexican coke" which aren't exactly the same thing despite both coming in glass bottles and being mildly more expensive as a result. Nice tip for the weird seasonal usage of sugar instead of syrup, somehow I never knew about that.

I remember Ecto cooler was in fucking mcdonalds restraunts around me for like a good chunk of my childhood till it fucking just vanished sometime in like the mid 2000s. Going by what I've seen abut ecto cooler online I gotta wonder if this was a reigonal thing or something else entirely. Looking into it apperently it ent through several rebrandings and name/line changes where they started selling it as a minute made drink instead of Hi C so I guess like in my area they just left the ecto cooler stickers on the machines. Had no urge to try the new ecto cooler for some reason.

I wonder if that is the same thing as the old Dr pepper red fusion that they used to have in like 2003 to 2004 that stuff was great but since then I've stopped drinking non diets so I wouldn't be able to have it now but I'd love it if they brought it back in the diet form.

That shit had distribution problems, cause I never saw it around where I live. Plus I was working late and wasn't free to go shopping most days. Didn't help by asshole collectors buying entire pallets either.
