Big John’s Beans ‘n’ Fixin’s, which was discontinued for unknown reasons. It had a lot of fans. I often took a batch to pot lucks. I still crave me some. ---

I remember one company used to make these frozen meat & gravy pouches you could heat up and then pour over toast to make hot turkey sandwich. Also McDonalds used to offer a chicken fajita that I really liked. ---

Grapefruit Tang. It came out when I was a kid and our family LOVED it! And then POOF! It was gone. We kept looking for it in the grocery stores, but never found it again. For years I would search for it, but alas. It was my first experience with the aching disappointment of a lost love. ---

Mission brand macaroni and cheese. It’s fake powdered cheese was a lot sharper when most others were trying for creamy. ---

The McSkillet burrito at McDonald’s was the best thing on their breakfast menu. The sausage burritos they have now are a pale comparison. ---

> [@ioioio](#): > > Big John’s Beans ‘n’ Fixin’s, which was discontinued for unknown reasons. Yes! I remember those back in the 70’s. Then they just disappeared:( . > [@rsat3acr](#): > > rally bar, hersheys version of baby ruth That and Powerhouse, Peanut Butter no Jelly bar, Milkshake, and Chocolite. All great candy bars they don’t make anymore. Me, I wish they still made Weber beer, Augsburger beer, and Kingsbury (the best cheap beer ever made). ---

It’s not a food, but during my 1970s US Army days I preferred a shaving cream that emerged HOT from the can! It was soon discontinued. I suppose it was carcinogenic or something weak like that. Spoilsports. ---

[Danish-Go-Rounds.](http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4519/3904/1600/574176/a-Danish-Go-Rounds.jpg) Why they didn’t blow Pop-tarts off the shelves, I’ll never understand.

Mrs Smiths frozen mince pie. My mom used to serve this every Thanksgiving and a piece Ala mode was incredible. I recently found out they no longer make this. ---

Tahiti Treat soda pop. I’m not a big fan of sodas other than Coke and Pepsi, but I did love Tahiti Treat. Hard to pin down exactly what its flavour was, but whatever it was, I liked it. And it is no longer available locally. ---

They were very similar to [Product 19](https://www.seriouseats.com/images/2013/08/20130813-product-19-cereal-box.jpg) which they also stopped making. :mad: Speaking of cereal, my brother always talks about one we had as kids in the early 70’s called Ooboperoos. It was blueberry flavored and had a blue kangaroo for a mascot. I can’t find anything online about it, and just a short blurbed on Tophers. ---
