> [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > [Jujubes](http://mimg.ugo.com/201102/8/3/9/172938/cuts/jujubes_480x480.jpg). Those tiny, hard gel candies. The only thing I would buy at the movie theater. > Green apple Jolly Ranchers. The real thing. I don’t know what they’ve done with the flavor, but they’re just not the same. > Russian dressing salad dressing. Thousand island seems to have pushed the Russian dressing off the shelves. You can find these at a Menard’s store…I sold 3 boxes yesterday ---

The greatest breakfast cereal in history, Just Right with Fruit and Nut by Kelloggs. I think the plain version is still available in Canada, but I don’t know about the fruit and nut version. And it’s the best cereal EVER. Damn you Kelloggs! ---

> [@The\_Winkler](#): > > VCRs. I have many tapes I want to convert to digital and I’m having trouble finding a working VCR without having to buy a really old one online. Then I have to also pay for shipping. Amazon has a bunch of DVD VCR combos you can buy. Some are under $100, all are new presumably. ---

> [@robby](#): > > [ul] > [li]Mennen Speed Stick antiperspirant in the “Fresh” scent, not the crappy “Power” version that they are currently selling. Apparently, after Colgate-Palmolive bought Mennen, they discontinued the original non-“Power” version. I had used the previous version for **30 years** (since high school). The new “Power” version is completely repulsive and smells terrible. After using the same product for decades, I’ve been forced to start trying competing products. Great way to lose a loyal customer. :rolleyes:[/li][/ul] YES! I just got the new power version today and it smells like either “Decorative soaps at Grandma’s” or “old lady gang bang in the detergent aisle” ---

Dang you, whoever said to try the “natural” Cheetos as a replacement cheez ball. It’s definitely not the same, and the first time around I didn’t like them too much, but now I’m addicted to a whole new thing. :mad:. 😃 ---

Hershey’s European Style Dutch Processed Cocoa. They replaced it with Hershey’s Cocoa Special Dark blend of natural and Dutched cocoas. It isn’t as good, and the other Dutched cocoas available cost substantially more. Chapstick with hexachlorophene. It removed the layer of dead skin and healed cracked lips quickly. Unfortunately they decided that hexachlorophene was too toxic. ---

Johnnie Walker Green Label. By far my favourite JW whisky, reasonably priced to boot and they discontinued it in 2012. There are still bottles of it about but now it’s waaay overpriced. ---

Granted, I live in Hawaii, so these things may still be available. In that case, they’re not in stores here anymore, and that will probably make me sadder\* Swanson TV Dinner: veal parmigiana flavor Frosted Apple pop-tarts (the kind with the layer of icing, not the stripes) Diet vanilla coke Quaker Instant Grits: cheese flavor McDonald’s apple danish (not the pie, but a steam-heated breakfast pastry) Doo Dad’s snack mix (which I see in post #127) Chuckles jelly candy - Not that sad, as I see the weather reports for my New England friends ---

Mine are all beverage-related. Diet Vanilla Coke (why? why? why? it was so much better than plain Diet Coke!) Apple Slice (the apple-flavored version of Slice) New York Seltzer (especially the cream soda version) Crystal Pepsi Sprite Remix ---

Tender Vittles. My elderly cat doesn’t seem to be all that happy with either dry food or wet food, but he goes ape over the soft pill pockets made by Greenies, which are basically very expensive Tender Vittles. ---

Little Tree car fresheners used to have an aroma called “Spice” that smelled kind of like Old Spice aftershave (but not quite). A few years ago, they reformulated the Spice scent so now it smells like cinnamon. I miss the old one.
