Europeans have a lot of the same candy bars as in the US, but with different names. When I was living in Britain in the '70s, a Milky Way was a Mars Bar, a Three Musketeers was a Milky Way, and (IIRC) a Curly-Wurly was a Three Musketeers.
I haven’t had a Three Musketeers/Milky Way in years. Wasn’t that chocolate-covered nougat? Or was the filling aerated chocolate?
Chef BoyArDee sausage pizza mix. I used to walk home from elementary school for lunch and I remember my grandmother making it for me. I used to get one every once in awhile and I was sad when I realized they were gone for good.
As an adult? Orangina has become increasingly difficult to find (it’s a carbonated blend of orange, tangerine, and grapefruit juice) and I was quite disappointed when Greek Gods stopped making their pomegranate yogurt. That was Da Best.
There are a couple of now-discontinued cookies I really liked as a kid.
One was chocolate-coated creme wafer sticks made by Nabisco. But I really had a serious jones for Swedish Cremes, a decadent cookie whose manufacturer I forget. If I was lucky I was allowed a couple of those one night a week (I had cruel parents).
This thread gives me another chance to complain yet again about the loss of the Seven Up bar. Said bar not only had 7 different blocks of fillings, but different bars had different fillings. From their Wiki article:
I think McDonalds food is horrific shit and haven’t eaten there for over a decade.
But they did have 2 things that were decent.
The McDLT lettuce and tomato hamburger they had was gimmicky but not bad when compared to their other tripe.
And they once had these golden nuggets that were deep fried chunks of onion. Those were quite good. Like tater tots but made of onion. I’d probably eat there every so often if they had both of these things still.
The McDLT was OK, but I just couldn’t get past the cheese being on the cold side. And looking at the photos, it wasn’t even placed to touch the burger when it was assembled – it was sandwiched between the tomato and lettuce for some weird reason, so it was sure not to even melt in the least.
Kraft Dinner is still around, but recently they changed it to be ‘new and improved, with no artificial coloring!’ They replaced the food coloring with Turmeric, and it changed the taste for the worse. Also, they appear to have also either changdd the thickness of the noodles or the composition, because they now break down into a mushy mess if you cook them anough to make them not chewy.
It was funny - I recently had some KD, and Immediately noticed the changed taste. So I googled it and found reams of comments online saying how much worse Kraft dinner was with the change - and in the middle of the search results was a tweet from Kraft saying that their ‘stealth’ change of Kraft Dinner was a huge success because no one noticed the change. Idiots.
Sunshine Hydrox cookies — miles better than Oreos (which I refuse to eat).
Cup Custard Sandwich cookies. They were my childhood favorite, even more than Hydrox.
Pepperidge vegetables in puff pastry – my favorite was the green bean one…it was kinda like green bean casserole (a bit lighter sauce) in puff pastry. About the size of a bao. Yummmmmmmmmm.

Suzy-Q’s live! The first time they brought them back, there was an over abundance of sawdust in them, and they were reformulated to almost as good as they one were.
I used to buy Moose Brothers Pizza from Cub Foods in Plano, Texas back in the mid 1990s. It wasn’t frozen just refrigerated and it was packaged in its own little deep dish which you baked it in. One of my favorite pizzas you could purchase from a supermarket but I have no idea what happened to the brand.
