Celebrity chef Marcela Valladolid’s Adobo Chicken - which was available at my local grocers until one day a few years ago they discontinued it. It was a marinated chicken that went on the grill.

Regular tostadas at Taco Bell. I realize I could probably ask for one off-menu, since they have a “spicy tostada” now that has 90% of the same ingredients, but I just don’t bother because I expect a blank stare from the kid across the corner.
I seem to remember those. But even though ‘baked’ and supposedly less fattening, the package said it contained ‘2 servings’ . 
Has anyone ever eaten 1/2 package of cooked ramen noodles? I didn’t eat a lot of ramen, but I didn’t think it was worth searching the ‘low-cal’ out if I was only allowed half a package.
There are some baked noodles available on Amazon.
I think I saw some at my local supermarket the other day.
I remember that the first time I ever encountered the stuff was at the liquor store I used to stop at on my way home from school in the 70s. I never got up the gumption to buy it because a.) I could get a 16-ounce RC Cola for less money; and b) it had been on the cooler shelf for so long that it had separated into three distinct layers of fluid, and it looked TOTALLY GROSS.
Several years later, the shop had changed hands, and I got a job there as a stock boy. I still saw YooHoo in the cooler, and it STILL came in clear glass bottles with three distinct layers of fluid.
I sometimes have nightmares that it was still the SAME set of bottles.
Surly Over Rated West Coast IPA. It was literally my favorite beer. Enough people complained about it. They brought it back last week.
The label distinctly says “Shake It!” Having said that, I wouldn’t drink it voluntarily. If I had to have a chocolate drink I would just go to the refrigerated aisle and get a Nesquik.
Salt & Pepper flavour rippled Pringles - the rippling meant they were heftier than standard Pringles and therefore worth eating one a time without feeling unfulfillingly thin. God, I miss them.
Brannigan’s Beer Nuts; pretty short lived back there in the '90s, but pretty glorious, as I remember.
Ross Oven-Crunchies - tater tots, essentially, to my transatlantic friends - were a staple of my upbringing but haven’t been available on these shores for many moons. I’m not brand loyal, I just want something that does what that does, and there ain’t no tots on this rock.
Numerous drinks which have - thanks to the UK government’s sugar tax - been reformulated with some form of sweetener (even when there was already a light/diet/slimline/etc. version for those who wanted less sugar). I drank Ribena for about 40 years but now it tastes like drain cleaner. Vimto, so beloved of those west of the Pennines, has gone the same way. I loved Irn Bru and Dr. Pepper and would gladly pay the sugar tax for a full-weight high-octane version, but nope, Coke and Pepsi are the only mainstream sodas left untouched. 7Up - the taste of childhood summers - reduced to a cloying, stevia-laden mess. Idris Ginger Beer, ruined. Even fancy upmarket ones like San Pellegrino have succumbed. I just want normal pop back! I’ll pay the damn tax!
I’ve been looking for Faygo Diet Chocolate Fudge soda, I used to hate diet pop but would like to try it now.
And my husband still talks about Chef Boy-ar-dee Chicken Ravioli (canned). Can’t find either but I haven’t looked recently.
Frosted Grape Pop tarts…I would enjoy these every summer when we would visit my dad and step mom. They have a frosted blueberry Poptart that I find similar but nowhere near as good.
Nabisco had a Devil’s Food Cake cookie which was decadent! It was like a small chocolate cake surrounded by marshmallow cream and a thin veneer of chocolate coating. In the 80’s they came in a bright yellow and red package. I think they switched over to Snackwell’s and a green package sometime in the 90’s but they tasted just as good. I could eat a whole box in one sitting (I hand a high metabolism and incredible sweet tooth at the time so I got away with it…lol).
Chicken Tonite Simmering Sauce…the chicken and mushroom on a bed of rice was perfect when my Mom made this back in my high school days (early 90’s)…plus the marketing jingle was so catchy that we still sing it for a laugh when my family gets together.
I found a commercial for it on YouTube and just about laughed at how hokey it was.
One last thing was this brownie/cookie mix made by possibly by Keebler, I could be wrong, but you basically made a chocolate chip cookie dough and a brownie batter and mixed the two into a 13x9 inch pan and baked them like ordinary brownies. They were called Jumbles and whenever my mom would make them I would sneak into the kitchen at night for an extra helping because they were so good!
Alas!
Oldie but goodie, 15 months is long enuf for a resurrection…
My current can’t get it is a classic: Hellman’s Tartar Sauce. [NE Florida] Already checked Publix and Wal-Mart this week, no dice, spot on the shelf for it is gone, too.
Also gonzo are Triple Fruit and Blueberry Newtons. They had already discontinued the Apple ones years ago, which were pretty awesome.
I was just informed today the MEGA Peanut M&Ms are kaput. Well, I guess they’re saving me some money and maybe I can drop a few pounds in the process because their regular peanut M&Ms suck.
Celatano Frozen Ravioli (not sure of the spelling)
it was a big fluffy ravioli. regional company. we couldn’t get it when we moved west.
a bigger brand bought them out and went national. but then the bigger brand went with their own crappy ravioli recipe with the celatano name. that didnt work and now it doesnt exist.
lays southern biscuits and gravy flavored potato chips
Gatorade citrus swish flavor
Arby’s used to sell an Angus sub that was great.
Frosted Grape Pop tarts… loved them as a kid.
I remember those. They were incredibly good.
I miss Jell-O Pudding Pops. When I was in high school and we’d take trips to our state’s only amusement park, they’d have a pudding pops stand on the grounds right next to the bumper cars. I’d probably buy at least two of those suckers every time I was there.
1982 Pillsbury Fudge Jumbles mix
This page has an original commercial, and a copy cat recipe.
Hope this link works, never tried to embed something before.
Nehi soda, especially Blue Cream.
Green River soda, carbonated and non-carbonated. It may still be around in some form in some places, but I haven’t seen it in movie house vending machines since the early to mid-1960s.
