Lancome “Hydrative” moisturizer. I almost cried right at the counter in The Bay when the rep told me it was discontinued.

Thanks! I live in Austin so maybe…might be worth a trip. They sold it in Illinois long after they stopped selling it in California, and my mom used to mail it to me.

I miss the “Coffee’s Ready!” beeps that used to be an available feature on Mr. Coffee coffeemakers.

Oh, and 64-ounce cartons of ice cream in California supermarkets.

One of the cereal companies released a product: “Frosted All-Bran”. The Baby Boom meets middle age!

It was quite good, but didn’t last.

7-up was a candy bar with 7 different kinds of filling in a single bar. It was kind of like taking several pieces of candy and gluing them together into a bar shape. I don’t know if I can remember all 7 but one was jelly, one was coconut, one was a kind of maple cream; can anyone name the rest? (The jelly was my favorite.)

The company now puts them out as TGIFriday’s Potato skins.  
TGIFridays is a restaurant chain that somehow bought an exclusive and branding rights.  
Unfortunately, they did not bring the Baked Potato flavor over; it got discontinued.:mad:

–G!

According to the images of the wrapper online, it was: mint, nougat, butterscotch, fudge, coconut, butter cream, and caramel.

I wonder if there were different versions over the years, then, because the one I remember definitely had jelly and maple and the brazil nut. I like the maple best and always ate it first. The brazil nut was always last. And I distinctly remember the cherry, which I’d always swap with my best friend for the maple. She liked the cherry and not the maple. I was the reverse. And don’t remember it ever having a mint section at all.

Ah, the good old days that had such variety!

[all the flavors](http://pearsonscandy.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/1979_seven_up.jpg) including fruit jelly, orange jelly, chocolate pudding!

Doritos Cheeseburgers After Midnight (something like that). They came in a black bag with neon signs, and they actually did taste a bit like hamburger, cheese, ketchup and pickle. Maybe it’s good they are gone, I don’t need to add bags of Doritos to my diet ☹ And LaChoy bite size egg roll appetizers. Cheap, ultra hot pillows of finely chopped celery and cabbage, they are gone forever.

I’m not a big consumer of door crasher, sugar, poofy products but I do, or did miss Koogle, not so much since I’m not eating sugar on purpose, mostly.

Not a big consumer of fast food either but one memorable thing I do miss is the barbecued pork sub from Subway.

Both these products do in fact still exist, say the relevant companies’ web sites.

I miss the Snickers Cruncher. Peanuts, crisp rice, caramel, chocolate. Wonderful little items.
