OMG. Chocolate dinosaurs? That is clearly the greatest idea ever.
I must have this ice cream. If this flavor is discontinued before I get back to the US, I’m blaming all of y’all.
Josta, man that was tasty.
PB Max candy bars, or as I to call them “chocolate covered heroin.”
Buffalo Trace BBQ sauce, pure, unadulterated liquid crack.
Those Starburst licorice whip thingies.
Vegetable flavored crackers (shaped like bell peppers and the like).
This one brand of burritos, I don’t remember the name, but the wrappers looked like the cans of Arizona lemon tea. Cheap and oh, sooooo tasty.
Onion McNuggets.
The Turkey Jack at Jack in the Box.
I went to a very small Dopefest once. How small? There were three of us. We went to Ben & Jerry’s. The others ordered Chunky Monkey and Chubby Hubby. I had to keep the theme going, and there was only one other rhyming flavor on the menu.
Some time later, I captured the moment in haiku.
Oh man, those were great. I tried looking for them online a while back, but sadly, no luck.
Oh, I thought of another one - o.b. applicator tampons - super plus were the most absorbent ever, which I need. They were the best and now they only make the non-applicator ones. Can I just say, ewwwww! I need an applicator, thankyouverymuch. Especially on those “super-plus” days…
Sorry for the TMI.
Czeckvar beer. The very best pilsner in the world. Way better taht Urquell. It used to be Budvar, but damn Anheuser-Busch made them change the name. Too close to Budweiser. Now, the two companies have made a deal to have A-B distribute Czechvar, but where the hell is it?
Also, Dr Marten’s boots discontinued the only style that works for my strange feet.
Great googly-moogly that looks like a U-H manly man list of complaints. :rolleyes:
Where do I begin?
Chocolate Velamints (sometimes they show up but they are rare)
BubbleYum Sugar Free Mint bubble gum (sometime I find it at interstate convenient stores)
Capio Bottled Cappucino (an idea that came long too early and forgotten)
Twister banana orange strawberry Light
Delfa Rolls - yummy red licorice rolls in a strawberry flavor. I’ve ordered them on line but they have finally vanished
And finally - Original Celestial Seasonings Red Zinger (before they jiggered the recipe). I drank gallons in college and even more when I tried it with a dash of Amaretto. I wrote a furious letter to the Celestial Seasonings company about this outrage. They wrote back and thanked me for being such a loyal customer and included a catalog of merchandise and a coupon for 50 cents off. Grrrrr…
Add me to the list of folks that miss the Bar None. It was my ideal chocolately goodness, and I’m not a HUGE fan of candy bars.
I miss the 16oz glass bottles of soda, I quaffed many of them in High School. Not the classic “coke bottle” shaped ones, I’m talking about the short, squat 16oz bottles.
Keebler made a chip called “Pizzeria”, pizza flavored chips. These combined with the 16oz bottles of Mt. Dew pretty much kept I and my friends alive on the weekends.
Long gone now, it would appear. I haven’t seen a bag since 1994. Dang it.
Wow - four pages and I still have some originals to add:
Entenmann’s Fudge-Iced Devil’s Food Filled Cupcakes. Those were the BEST Entenmann’s products, and we’re talking about a company that makes lots of delicious stuff. How the heck could they have stopped making them???
Entenmann’s Fudge-Iced Crullers. Addictively delicious, but at least these were a relatively new product that may have just bombed in the marketplace despite my love for them. The cupcakes above, though, had been around forever before they stopped making them.
Nestles Mocha-flavored Crunch Bars. Not around for long, maybe only from 1999-2000 or so, but I was crazy about them.
Pepsi Lite. The best implementation of Cola-with-a-twist-of-lemon ever. The current Pepsi Twist is good, but not quite as good.
Which label? The translated one with the nutrition facts on them? Ignore that - oftentimes the lazy bastards that slap those things on there out of legal necessity apparently copy the exact same info from their domestic counterparts, regardless of accuracy. Reading the ingredients printed on the bottle in the original language shows a discrepancy. In fact, since it’s we as a nation who uniquely make the price of high fructose corn syrup so artificially low, there’s no reason to expect soft drinks from any other place to use it as a sweetener, so you can safely assume that all foreign manufactured soft drinks are sweetened with sugar (or maybe something else that may be cheaper in a certain country).
I thought so. I haven’t heard of a product by that name…
…this is where you appeal to age and call me a “whipper snapper”.
They have “Ultra” now, which I guess surpasses Super-plus, but sadly only in non-applicator.
<whimper> I forgot to remember to miss these until now. Man were they something special.
“Lifestyles Large” is now “Lifestyles King Size XL”. I guess that might be flattering to some but think it’s a bit ridiculous, and intelligence-insulting knowing there’s nothing between their original and “King Size XL” size wise.
Two things, one food, one not.
Bonnomo’s Turkish Taffy. Came in banana, vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry flavors. A flat bar of taffy.
Q-Tips with wooden sticks. Yeah I know you’re not supposed to stick them in your ears, but they are also good for cleaning other cracks and crevices. No, not there! I mean for firearms and such. The plastic and paper sticks are just no good. CVS sells them as Classic Cotton Swabs, but there aren’t any CVS in the St. Louis environs.
While I was in college, I got hooked on Celestial Seasonings “Fast Lane” tea. Or, as my friends and I called it, the “Flying people” tea. Black tea with ginsing, a bit of cinnamon and nutmeg, and a caffeine content higher than drip coffee (110 mg per serving vs. 90). Caffeine was listed as an ingredient, how could a college geek resist? 
And then around 2000 or so, it started being hard to find on the tea shelves of the local grocery store. And then it was gone. I tried their “Morning Thunder”, but it just wasn’t the same.
But last Saturday, my girlfriend and I decided to go do the Celestial Seasonings factory tour. Well, I went to their web site to get their address for driving directions and saw the happy words:
Fast Lane is Back!
For now, it’s apparently only available online and at their headquarter’s tea shop (needless to say, I picked up two boxes when the tour was over), but it looks like I wasn’t the only one depressed by it’s removal from their product line. I’m hoping it makes it’s way back onto store shelves.
I just remembered another product I miss: Hostess chocolate-chip mini muffins. Also Burger King’s Burger Buddies - mini burgers that came three to a pack. My siblings and I devoured those back in the 80s.
Also count me among those who wonder what happened to Orangina.
Suddenly Smores.
Hey there. Went to the shops after work today. I have good and bad news. The good is that I did indeed see Rich Tea on a PF box. The bad news is that they’re part of one of their mixed boxes; the ‘Peek Frean’s Assorted Tea’ mix so you get a bunch of Nice, shortbread, and other cookies in with your Rich Teas.
Mind you, they are all pretty tasty…
Just last Friday I noticed it’s in the vending machine at my YMCA. 
(Maybe the word “orange” makes someone think it’s good for you?)
Here you go.
