This is what I came in to say. They were so delicious! Sigh.
I’ll have to try those. That would rock!
I’ve seen TV ads for Pitney-Bowes meters as recently as a month ago…

Entenmann’s Apple Strudel. Oh how I miss you.
Clinique Superfit foundation. I’m devastated.
Jimmy Z pants and shorts. They were a surf wear company in the 80s, and they had this design with a heavy velcro “belt” thing that when you closed it, you had another pocket. This mean that they were infinitely adjustable in waist line, but not elastic. The only downside was the sound when you took your pants off (the loud ripping sound of the velcro releasing).
I had shorts in tan that I wore out.

Anyone else read this and think “I’ve got good news! That gum you like will come back in style.”?
I’ve got a few foodies and one other:
Green Giant Lasagna
Moose Bros. Pizza
Black Cow suckers
Wiener wagons
chemistry sets
Here’s one for you. I saw Quisp for sale the last time I was at Target. It was on the impulse buy rack in the checkout line. I had one of those moments of disorientation that happen when I start to question my own reality.
I loved my Saturn ION.
Archer Farms (Target store brand) Southwest Style Lasagna. Basically an Enchillada Lasagna with meat, beans, corn, peppers, enchillada sauce and corn tortilla layers with cheese. Awesome stuff. For $7 I got three good meals out of it.
They also used to make a Chicken sausage with walnuts and alfredo sauce lasanga, which was not only nearly equally awesome, but my deathly-allergic-to-tomatoes mother could enjoy it.
There was a soda made by the Clearly Canadian company around 2000-2002ish. It came in a pastel blue glass bottle, and tasted similar to European-style lemonade with a dash of grapefruit soda. One of my favorite drinks in high school, but sadly dead and buried. The grocery store set of Gilmore Girls has a bunch of it on the shelves in the early seasons; I always notice that when my wife’s watching old episodes.
I’ve been terrified that one of my favorite current products (TrueLemon, TrueLime) will suffer a similar fate. It’s little packets of lime and lemon flavor. One packet is enough to make a quart of water subtly fruity and it’s been a great tool to drink less soda and juice. I’m the only person I’ve ever met who’s ever heard of it.
OK, fuck it. Space food sticks. I’m serious.
Yes! I have half a shaker of bath powder, and I only use it for special occasions. I often go in the shop and sniff around, hoping they’ve resurrected it under a different name.
Oh, another (stupid) one: The Body Shop’s coconut oil hair…stuff. It came in a little old-timey pomade tin, and a tiny dab mixed with water kept my hair lookin’ good all day. And it smelled like coconuts.
It disappeared for a while. I think they actually sell a product with the same name now, but it comes in a plastic cosmetics tub, blah. I’ll probably buy some at some point, but without the charming tin, it lost the magic.
Nah, that was Doublemint.
I miss a chocolate bar from the late '70s and 80s, but don’t remember what it was called. My brain keeps suggesting “Million Dollar Bar,” but that’s not it. The bar was red, white, and blue, and the typeface was a rounded serif, and it had nougat and biscuit and was the best thing ever. Even Coffee Crisps pale in comparison. Life is so unfair.
Callard & Bowser Licorice Toffee
Not the red, white and yellow Nestlé “$100,000” bar (now renamed “100 Grand”)?
they are great, I’m the other person who has heard of them and love them =)
The TrueOrange sucks ass though, it has a strange almost moldy aftertaste.
I usually have at least 3 or 4 boxes of each lurking around the house, the car, my mom’s house, in my purse… 
Here.
