I was quite fond of Planters Cheez Balls in a can… Someone in here had to like Crystal Pepsi… ---

Wendy’s had sandwiches called Freschetta or something like that. Cold cut sandwiches on cibatta bread. LOVED them. They lasted less than a year I think. ---

I’ve mentioned this in other threads, but Giant SweeTarts. Not the nasty chewy abominations, but the actual SweeTarts scaled up to about 2" in diameter. They haven’t made them in years. ---

College Inn Chicken ala King in a can. This stuff over egg noodles was my alltime ultimate comfort food. ::sniff:: ---

[Danish-Go-Rounds](http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4519/3904/1600/574176/a-Danish-Go-Rounds.jpg) I will never understand how these failed and Pop-Tarts survived. [Breakfast Squares.](http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3233/2999975591_c967eb1f5e_b.jpg) Despite being weirdly dry yet not, they had a taste like nothing else. ---

Merrimints. They look like [this](http://www.weddingspinster.com/Mints.html). You can still get that style of mint, just not that brand. Danish go rounds. (ETA: Damn, beaten by less than a minute!) [Shake-a-pudd’n](http://cache.boston.com/bonzai-fba/Globe_Photo/2007/08/03/1186153165_4005.jpg). ---

3-d doritos. I also couldn’t find Bugles at the local Food Lion when I was last there. ---

I came in to mention these. Every time I find a brand of nacho cheese-flavored tortilla chips I like (Laura Scudders, Granny Goose, Old Dutch), they discontinue them. Trader Joe’s has some good ones now. Doritos are a sad substitute. ---

Mission brand macaroni and cheese, with the super cheesy bright orange powder. Arby’s turkey subs with their creamy Italian sub sauce. ---

Arby’s fried cheesy fried potato triangle thingies. I miss them so much. I haven’t been back to Arbys since they went away. Denny’s “oreo blaster” milkshakes. That was just recently - they decided there was too much clutter in the menu. Oddly enough, haven’t been back there again either… ---
