Mudd brand mud mask. Why I can’t find it any more, I have no clue.
Also nearly impossible for me to find ginger Altoids, although Target has them on occasion. I have yet to find chocolate covered ginger or cinnamon Altoids although the peppermint ones are in abundant supply.
They make the chocolate covered ones in ginger, too! I think liquorice are the most elusive of all altoid flavors.
I used to be ablet to find this shampoo & conditioner called Mane & Tail. It came in giant bottles, was cheap, and gave my hair amazing body & shine. I know it’s still made, but I can never find it.
Try pet stores or feed stores. I think it was originally intended for horses, so those places would be my best guess.
Before the fine folks at Healthy Choice decided they had to retool their ice cream line to mimic Ben and Jerry’s, they had this WONDERFUL raspberry chocolate truffle flavor – raspberry ice cream with little dark chocolate mini-cordials filled with raspberry goo. Damn, that stuff was good!
Night Spice cologne
Fizzers like smarties. Not fizzers that were a hasrd candy with a center that foamed when saliva got inside.
A wine cooler that was different from other ones when they firt came out. The name was something like Weise and you could get them in a 12 oz can. Many places prohibit glass bottles.
I haven’t looked in a good decade, but for nearly 25 years I haven’t seen any books of hex paper. When I noticed it was hard to find, I made my own hex paper when necessary, so I have over half of my original notebook left! (What can you say, I don’t make hex-based outdoor maps too much.)
That sounds exactly like what happens with my wife. Kroger has regularly discontinued the products she likes. She tries really hard to like Kroger, but gets REALLY irritated when they discontinue things like shampoo or baking supplies that she regularly uses.
Um, darlin’? Where’s your region?
Tom of Maine’s fennel toothpaste. It was their best kind imo.
Seven Seas Creamy Italian Salad Dressing is gone. I used to buy in CA then it was only available by begging my mom in Illinois to mail me some, and now it is gone, gone gone … discontinued. Sigh. It was the best.
Excellent thread!
The old style Tostitos chips. They totally revamped their line. The rounds are marginally acceptable for nachos, but not as good as the bigger chips in days of yore.
Red Barons breakfast pizzas. The same size as the individual pizzas that came two to box, but for breakfast. Gone. 
(Maybe just regional.) Hamburger Relish - the kind that’s redder than what I get in California. I need to look when I go to DC this week.
Haagen-Dazs Extraas Cappucino Commotion–ice cream of the gods
I drink cocoa daily. I use cocoa powder rather than the mixes because the slightly greater time and effort involved helps to limit my consumption.
I settled on Hershey’s Dutch Processed Cocoa because I didn’t like the taste of regular cocoa, which tastes a bit fruity to me.
It came in a container that had brown lettering on a silver background.
They replaced it with Hershey’s Special Dark Dutch Processed Cocoa. Container with gold lettering on a brown background. A stronger taste, but I adjusted.
They’ve just replaced that with a “blend” of Dutch Processed Cocoa and regular cocoa. This is apparently to get in on the bandwagon of the supposed health benefits of the flavonoids in regular cocoa. Dutching destroys them, and I guess they’re among the things that give regular cocoa a fruity taste.
This new “blend” has that fruity taste.
The new container is the same as the previous Special Dark except that the lettering is gray. I didn’t notice this until I got the container home.
If I were interested in health benefits, I probably would be drinking something else.
Now I have to use this new stuff or pay more for a premium product. Mutter mutter mumble mumble.
The original Prell conditioner. This stuff was cheap, did a good job, and rinsed out easily. I’ve tried other conditioners, but all of them have only one or two of these qualities.
YELLOW corn tortilla chips. I don’t want white, or red, or blue tortilla chips. I want YELLOW corn in them. I think yellow corn tastes the best.
Tootsie pop drops. These were Tootsie pops, without the stick. I also like the mini Tootsie pops, but they seem to only be produced for Halloween.
Semi-hijack…I used to love deviled ham when I was younger. Now, however, it tastes incredibly fatty and peppery. Did it change, or did I?
I miss C2. I keep trying Coke Zero in the hopes it will eventually have the real Coke taste everyone says it does, but so far it just tastes like nothing.
There still available here in the Northwest. They also have a light version that’s not too bad.
I miss Paul Newman’s steak sauce. Had a nice flavor without being overpowering like A-1. It went from all the stores to one small chain to gone. Newman’s website still shows it being made, I just can’t find it.
Klondike Bars? THey’re still sold at my school’s cafeteria… so I guess I could find them in some supermarket around here in Louisiana…
I’m curious where you’re located, because these are quite easy to find in any local food store for me. Amusingly, the company’s website has a store locator, if you enter your zip code. Assuming you’re in the US, and there’s anything within 20 miles or so, you’re welcome.
Taters, as I understand it, Old Bay is a mid-Atlantic regional thing. Around Baltimore (where it’s made), it’s a common ingredient. I think we have a giant tin and a small shaker for the table in our kitchen.
(A Regional Foods thread from 2004, in which I praise Old Bay in the second post to the thread, among other Maryland/mid-Atlantic foods)
Team Flakes cereal.
Trader Joe’s must bring back my Portuguese Sweet Muffins!!! * :
:*
Also, from my childhood, Hostess Chocodiles and SkyBar.
SkyBar is weird in that it doesn’t taste all that good, but all the kids felt compelled to buy it anyway. Maybe something about getting multiple flavors made you feel you were getting more for your money?
