Does anyone remember the sports drink AllSport made in the 90s? Its still being made, but back then it was carbonated. It wasn’t popular because of that but I was a fan. ---

The original 5th Avenue candy bar that was topped with 2 chocolate-covered almonds until the mid-60s. ---

> [@Czarcasm](#): > > The original 5th Avenue candy bar that was topped with 2 chocolate-covered almonds until the mid-60s. Much longer than that. I remember when they switched over, pretty sure it was in the 90s sometime. 5th Avenue was my favorite peanut butter molasses bar, except when I could get my hands on a Clark, except when I could get my hands on a Zagnut. Which were always stale, because no one bought them except for me. Got to the point where I liked em stale. Zagnut. ---

Peppermint (or Grape) suglarless Bubble Yum. Why they kept the worst flavor is beyond my ken. Red Lobster: Langostinos and shrimp (dinner entree). Hush puppies (I understand they still sell them in the south). Taco Bell: Cinnamon Crispas ---

> [@MissTake](#): > > Sunkist Mandarin Orange soda - tasted like soda I drank in Norway (no idea the name of it) For a replacement try Izze Clementine. They also have pomegranate, blackberry, and others. Billed as sparkling juices so sometimes they’re with the sodas and sometimes with juice. Really very good. ---

I would say [Bubble Up](http://www.dadsrootbeer.com/dads/dads.nsf/vwContent/Bubble_Up) but apparently it’s still made. [Choco’lite](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86F-pt2e0_A) - Aero bars are not the same. [Tuna Twist](http://www.inthe70s.com/food/tunatwist0.shtml) - The only way I would eat tunafish sandwiches. “I’m Sir Celery. I’m Miss Parsley. We are the Onion twins.” ---

Pommac soda Sold in the mid-sixties by Dr Pepper, it looked and bubbled like champagne, and had a taste like … well, I can’t describe it. Partly because I have tasted nothing like it, and it has been 40+ years since I have had any. It is a popular Finnish/Swedish drink, and still available there, but I have found no one in the USA that is currently distributing it. ---

The reason it was pulled from U.S. distribution was because: 1. It contained Aspartame, and 2. It had a tendency to ferment in the bottle. ---

> [@rsat3acr](#): > > Rally candy bar, it was the Hershey equivilent to Baby Ruth. You can probably find these right now in Walgreens stores. We got several cases of them a couple of months ago for our Suggestive Sell Hershey’s month, and most people had never heard of them, so they didn’t sell so well. Go check soon, because they may be sent back after the first of the year! ---

> [@Czarcasm](#): > > Grape Nehi This and all the other flavors are still available in South Georgia and Florida, for sure. Not sure where else. My dad is pretty addicted to Nehi Peach, and I remember stopping in the middle of the night at a closed gas station and getting it out of a vending machine (glass bottles!) when I was a kid.
