Not me but a couple of family members miss those tasteless shitty chicken fajitas mcdonald's used to sell.

I miss the hostess pudding pies but in particular the one that had the chocolate crust. Those have been discontinued since the early 90s.

I loved those chocolate pudding pies so much...but my god, are they absolutely horrid for you to eat. Looking up one of those bad boys, they're 520 calories and 24g of fat, 40g of sugar and 73g of carbs...good grief. I could chonk one of those down in a few min.

That reminds me of those Marie Callender's "single serve" chicken pot pies. There was a time when my wife was eating them for lunch at work until she read the back of the box one day. There's 600 calories and 32g of fat in a chicken pie, 45g of fat in a beef pie. To add to it, they have 42-61% of your daily allowance of sodium.

It's very sad. Socialism has devastated your cereal aisles. Our cereal aisles are tremendous. You've never seen cereal aisles like these before. People are saying we have the greatest cereal aisles in history!

View attachment 57702

That's a goddamn cereal aisle to be proud of, awesome.

Edit: I'm going to take a photo of my local cereal aisle for comparison next time I'm there, it's practically grey.

Diet Crystal Pepsi, and Orbiz.

Also kinda miss Butterfinger BBZ.

FYI, most supermarkets, at least here in Vegas, have Clearly Canadian on the shelves. It's in the specialty drinks aisle, same place you'll find the stevia colas, crafted ginger ales and root beers, etc.

I wish they still would produce the legendary icelandic sweets called “Blár Ópal” it was discontinued in 2005 because it contained to high amount of chloroform and they did not find any substitute for it..so it was discontinued

I don't know why but I view this as one of the best quotes ever on NG.com.

OK at least the thread winner.

Please Knud, post more and thank-you.

Jolt soda anyone?

Remeber OK soda? They were kinda nasty, seemed like just a "suicde soda" The cans were kinda trippy though.

There is an ice cream sandwich called “It’s It” which is this. Different ice cream flavors too. I like the mint.

so that's what an It's It ...is. I always drive past one of their buildings out of the SFO airport, and never knew it was something different.

Yeah they’re based in SF.

The first time someone tried to tell me about a product called “It’s It” I thought they were insane. It was like a real life version of The Who’s on First? gag.

Those Nestle Krunch ice cream nuggets.
There was a knock off Kool Aid type drink that came with a powder and a container shaped like an accordion that you would expand and contract that would make a very distinctive noise. Problem was you could never clean them well enough to reuse so they just got thrown out. Burples?
Rax Roast Beef kids drinks that came in a plastic Alligator cup.
Tower of Sour 3' long Pixie Sticks. Just 3' of multi flavored sugar that would turn your shit rainbow colors.

I experienced this too
"It's It".
"Ok, what's it?"
"It's it."


It's kinda of like, "what kind of jeans am I wearing?"

"Michael Korrs?"
"Guess"
"Levi's"
"Guess"

RIGHT LAGDUF?

Fuck, Burples, I remember those! Pretty tasty too if my memory isn't playing tricks on me.

I think I'm the only one that actually liked/drank it but, I would give someone else's childs life for more Red Fusion Dr. Pepper.

And that child's sibling for Rockadile Red Kool-Aid.

Fuck cherry... I WANT ROCKADILE RED!

Not discontinued, but there are no Arby's near me, and they have my favorite curly fries.
