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

Mint flavoured Kit Kat Chunkies. Limited edition and the best tasting of the lot.

Rest in Power, mint flavoured Kit Kat Chunkies.

I bet they've got them in Japan though.

I once bought one of those and somehow it had no wafer in it, it was just solid mint flavored kit-kat chocolate and my young mind just couldn't handle the transcendental nature of it.

I miss other flavors of Twix that aren't caramel. You used to be able to find peanut butter every now and then, but cookies and cream and fudge have been discontinued since the early nineties.

Every few months, Oreo shits out a whole bunch of new flavors of Oreo. Half of these make the cookie much worse, the rest don't really improve it.

But many years ago... I'd say 10 or more now... They did manage to put out a single flavor that *just worked*. And every time I wander by the cookie isle, I search in vain for a return of them.

I don't remember if they were called "Coffee flavored" or "Mocha flavored", but, yeah. They were ordinary chocolate Oreos with a white-ish cream, but the cream filling had a hit of coffee taste. So good. So perfect. So limited edition.

Apparently last year they had a Dunkin' Donuts-branded Mocha flavored one, but I never saw it in shops around here.

Baked Alaska Ben & Jerry's. Why the fuck did they stop it?

 

[vhstape]

UK stuff here, were so good

I think Postum is the sort of thing you had to drink in childhood to have fond memories of. It's actually pretty generic. It was great to mix with instant coffee though.

They've started making it again, but it's wildly expensive now.

I miss surge. I'm not some boomer that drank it in the 90's. I tried it when they brought it back and got hooked and now I can't find it anymore.

Did they really name a flavor of ice cream after him?

He is named after a desert.

Ben And Jerry's baked Alaksa came out in 2008, long before Baked Alaksa made his youtube channel.

Actually, he's named after "baked" (high on weed) and "Alaska" (where he's from). The fact that it coincided with the name of a dessert was just a bonus.

"I was like, 'Damnit, this guy is a genius! This guy is right. I need a name, I need an industry name to be known by," he continued. "So my name was 'Alaska.' After a while I realized just being called Alaska worked, but I needed to differentiate myself. I needed to be more unique than Alaska. That's like someone being named 'Texas' or 'Kentucky.' You have to brand yourself a little more. So I came up with 'Baked Alaska,' because at the time I was a stoner. So I was like the baked kid from Alaska. And it's also a double meaning because it's a dessert."

His rise to fame took place around suspiciously close to the same time as Ben & Jerry's discontinued the flavor. Knowing Ben & Jerry's political stance, one could perhaps speculate as to why...

tl;dr: if you miss Ben & Jerry's Baked Alaska, blame the YouTuber. It may or may not be right, but at least now you'll have someone to blame.

@Big Bad Fish Your joke has been noted and appreciated, but I still find it amusing that they might have un-named a flavor of ice cream after him.

Imagine being such a dumb cunt that a giant company discontinues something because it shares a name with you. Some executive saw this guy making a fool of himself and thought "No more"

Fuck Im just an idiot.

In my defense I have had people talk to me that actually thought that Baked Alaska had a desert named after him.

I miss Peanut Butter Boppers. Remember when you were a kid in art class and you made clay snakes by rolling clay between your hands? Imagine doing the same with peanut butter, and then coating the peanut butter snakes in Rice Krispies and chocolate chips:

 

[Juan But Not Forgotten]

Twix with gingerbread coockies, orange caramel and dark chocolate. Tried it once and fell in love with that motherfucker for the rest of my life. They don't sell it anymore where I live.

KFC used to have the Supercharger in the UK and god damn it was the best burger I ever had. I was so pissed when they announced they were gonna take it off the menu. KFC hasn't been the same since...
