My husband loved Fruit Harvest Apple Cinnamon cereal, and apparently it’s been discontinued. (The Kellogg site doesn’t list it with the discontinued flavors, nor with the current products. Maybe they want to pretend it never existed.)
Anyway, I’ve looked around a bit online and haven’t found any place that still carries it. I would be happy to reimburse for purchase and shipping costs if anyone can find it locally.
Is there anything in particular that others want that perhaps I can help find?

In addition, their Boy, they were good, but… link has items that have been officially confirmed as discontinued. I discovered this site in my attempt to track down some Fudgetown cookies.
Post Oat Flakes were a tasty standby killed off by a food fad. Around 1990 all we wanted from the noble oat was BRAN BRAN BRAN. Post Flakes didn’t have any, so they were quietly 86’d.
All right, maybe no one gives a wet toot about Post Oat Flakes. But they had to be moving more units than Cherry Hump or American Beauty Dumplets. No?
When I was a kid I used to love Freakies . Sure it was nothing but a bowl full of sugar, but you used to get a figuring of one of the Freakies in every box. You just had to have the whole set. It was a necessary part of life.
Carnation Breakfast Bars. Chocolate for breakfast! Woo-hoo!
Stouffer’s (or maybe Swanson, I forget) Italian Sausage Sandwich. Only made for a few years in the early '80s. Kind of complicated to prepare because it came in two pieces. You had to heat the bread separately from the meat (which came in a foil cooking pan topped with cardboard.) Sure was yummy though.
Kraft Taco Cheez 'n Crackers and Pizza Cheez 'n Crackers. Pure ambrosia.
I’ll say King Vitaman (sic), which had an effect similar to Quisp on the pallette. It had a little cartoon king for a logo and had 6000% of most vitamins and minerals.
In the early 70’s I loved a cereal named “Alpin”. It was nuts and grains and stuff and was really good. A while back I was excited to see a box of “Alpin” in a larger grocery store so I picked it up. It turned out to be an imported British brand with the same name as my old (U.S.) favorite, but was not the same, or as good, as the cereal I remembered.
King Vitamin and Quisp are both listed as available from the Hometown Favorites site linked to by scotandrsn. Just sayin…
Keebler used to have a snack chip called Pizzerias. Thise were awesome. I didn’t even care that they were pizza flavored…I really loved the texture of the chip, which was some sort of flour-tortilla-like chip.
Someone, I think it was Hershey, but it may have been M&M/Mars, had a S’mores candy bar. Delicious and vegetarain, unlike many things with marshmallow-style ingredients. Dunno if they were discontinued or if they just aren’t sold around here but I haven’t seen one in years.
They aren’t discontinued but I never see them anywhere so they might as well be unless I want to order them 24 packs at a time, but I love Choward’s violet gum and mints. Such a totally bizarre flavor and no one ever tried to bum gum off me.
Otto, it was indeed Hershey’s that had S’mores candy bar. AFAIK, it is not discontinued. I did a quick ebay search and found one seller with a 36 box count.
I actually had a S’mores candy bar just last week. Saw it in the checkout lane at Kroger, and got suckered into the impulse buy. So they’re still around here (Dayton, OH), at any rate.
Actually, they changed the formula in the last year or so. The packages say something like “new and improved” or “better taste” or something. It seems they’re still an active product.
Anybody remember the candy called “Charms”? They were like “LifeSavers” except they were square instead of round and didn’t have a hole in the middle, just an indentation. I always liked their taste better than “LifeSavers”. There was also a “Charms” sucker.
