Discontinued food products
 

Don't you hate it when a product you like is discontinued and taken off the shelves? Well, here's the place to talk about it! Discuss recent products that were taken off the shelf, or just discuss your old favorites that you want back.

One product that I want back is Pizza Hut flavored Doritos. I still say those were my favorite chips of all time, and I don't see why they were ever discontinued (I would guess maybe they didn't sell so well, but I don't see how they wouldn't as they were freaking great). They were released alongside some Taco Bell flavored chips (which weren't all that great) sometime in the mid to late nineties, and I think they only lasted for maybe a year or so. Even so, I still remember them, and I wish they would bring them back.

As for a more recent product, I wonder what happened with that S'mores candy bar that Hersheys had. It had been out for a good while (over a year at least), but then all of a sudden I saw it at the store, and it was marked discontinued. I took advantage of the fact that they were selling them at 10 for a $1, but other than that I didn't care for it too much.

RIP.

Heh, I was at school around 1 AM last night and hit up the vending machines for a snack. I actually wanted one of those bars but couldn't find it in any of the machines in the building. Wound up going with Peanut M&Ms instead. :(

The only cereal I've ever eaten with any regularity was Rice Crispies Squares cereal. It was basicallt just rice crispies stuck into clumps with dried up marshmellow, but damn was that good.

I want to know who decided to cancel the Marie Calendar Country Fried Chicken meal.

I will find them and I will kill them.

Those are the best frozen dinners ever. I'm surprised they canceled that one too as it was my favorate.

Anyway, I miss Crystal Pepsi. Sure its more a novelty, but I WANT MORE.

Said this in the last discontinued food thread, and I stand by my statement, the most missed product:

12 pack of SURGE! sold for %152

One time I was sitting outside eating one of those Marie Calender Fried Chicken dinners and a bear with a gun came into my yard and I totally befouled his life as a bear because I ruined his shit so hard, it is funny.

As for Surge - I recommend getting that Sobe Full Throttle energy drink in it's stead. You drop a shooter or two of gin in that and you're golden.

They sell Vault now, which it supose to be like the predecessor of Surge, but it not quite the same :(

I've had one of those, recently in fact. They've been selling them in fundraising kits at school. *Shrug*


Starburst use to have a twizzlers-like candy. I think it was Starbursts Fruit Twists or something. I loved them, but they discontinued them a while back (that or they just don't sell 'em around here anymore).

I haven't seen Caramello around in ages.
I really loved that stuff, and demanded my dad buy it for me when he went grocery shopping when I was young.

Not sure if they sell these anymore either, but the Starburst jellybeans were fantastic. Much better than generic ones, no licorice, and no wackass flavors like Jelly-Belly tends to have.

I'm still missing the peanut butter filled cookies of Planter's Peanuts. It came in a bag (much like the one dog treats do) and were in 3D shapes of peanuts but inside the cookie shell, was filled with peanut butter, creamy or crunchy.

I actually e-mailed Planters a couple years ago to ask what happened to them but I never got a response :(

I remember that stuff.

Where are you, baby? I wasn't around for a while but I'm back now. I still love you. Please come home.

Kellogg's Toaster Muffins. Blueberry, to be exact.

They were shaped like toast, but had the taste and texture of a muffin. I used to eat them every single day for a couple of years, and then they were discontinued. I even wrote the company, but they just sent me back some canned letter.

Vanilla Coke is still around. I got some the other week.

I don't know about the rest of the country, but I can't find these ANYWHERE in Southern LA at any store.

WHYYYYYY!

Not in New York. All the stores only have this Black Cherry Vanilla Coke shit and say the normal one was discontinued.

Lucky Charms haven't been on sale in the UK for about 10 years now

WHY?! ;_;

I had some of those this morning. :p


:(

I remember those. I use to eat those all the time; they were amazing.

Same here in Austin, TX. At least, around campus. And the Black Cherry Vanilla is just overdoing it on the flavorings....I prefer my plain diet Vanilla coke ;_;.

And Vanilla Pepsi just sucks (as does Pepsi in general).

:(

I think I might make a trip to the US just to eat some :edgartpg:

Also, those limited edition Mint kit-kats were nice for the month or so they were onsale here.

Maybe we can have a GFF group project to spread the joy of Lucky Charms throughout the world.
People who do not have access to Lucky Charms sign up, and we have Americans sign up to be their counterparts. Perhaps even extend it to trading regionally unique foods.

Let's call it:
Operation General Mills. :p

The only problem with that is finding a UK food that isn't available in the USA >_>

I don't think good ol' British Beef would keep in a trans-atlantic postal run.

I really miss Surge. I remember having it at a Fazolis once, and then I think a Dairy Queen and that was it. But it was the best pop I'd ever had in my life. I was shocked when I found out it was canceled. I wonder why they don't realize there is a very high demand for it.
