You're right. Fat fingered it.
Some flavors:
ca.news.yahoo.com
Cheerios quietly discontinued three flavors — and customers are not happy
Fans have questioned why these three flavors will no longer be on grocery store shelves
CVS, which bought Rite Aid and Bartell's Drug Store, will rebrand the remaining stores CVS.
I don't go to CVS......or any other stores which keep you waiting 120 minutes while 20 workers keep answering 60 phones and eventually remember you need a prescription.
What I miss are Mom and pop stores, local music shops, especially those where you could get "rare" music like stuff from Japan etc, the just around the corner electronics shop where you could pick up headphones, 2.5 to 3.5mm audio jack converters, batteries, drool at the latest walkman etc.. Local bank offices, the ones where you actually could get money etc indeed with a good service..
So much has disappeared over the years, it's kinda really sad..
Was it all great and convenient? No, waiting a week or two before you got your desired motherboard for the 80486 you wanted to build or the 6 week wait for a CD coming from Japan, but still I miss that sort of stuff anyway, guess I miss a whole era.

Growing up, whenever we would go and visit the grandparents - they would give my brother and and I $5-$10 and say, "Go down to the corner store, pick up a six pack of beer, a pack of cigarettes and some candy for yourself."
No one ever questioned it.
