**TMI TMI TMI** I think I know why it disappeared. I ate one and damn near blew chocolate bubbles in my pants.

There was a cereal when I was kid in the 80s called "Crispy Wheats n Raisins’ that I thought was the greatest, but I guess it was discontinued because I haven’t seen it in years.

Even better though, was a soda from about ten years ago called Royal Crown Draft. It came in brown glass bottles and was the tastiest thing I’ve ever seen, but apparently Royal Crown decided it wasn’t profitable enough and as far as I know it too is gone forever.

I’d happily do this for you if we have it locally. I live near several different supermarkets (Publix, Albertson’s, Winn-Dixie, Super Target, Wal-Mart Supercenter, Big Lots), so there’s a good chance I can find it if it still exists. Ask **Selkie** , **bouv** , or **Seeker74** – I’ve hooked them all up with locally-purchased food items before.
