What discontinued food, snack, or drink do you miss the most?

[Kira's Mom]

I don't miss Jolt Cola. The worst migraine I had during my teen years was triggered by drinking that stuff right before a band competition. I had to leave after my band finished, and ended up in the emergency room! My band director thought I was having a stroke.

You can still buy Quisp.

Space Food Sticks

Really??!!??

That stuff tasted like tootsie rolls gone bad. At least to me.

My ultimate missed food is Callard & Bowser butterscotch candies. My Mom bought me a box whenever we went downtown or to the theater. I loved everything about it--the fancy white box, the shiny paper and how one piece could last for several minutes---a glorious little eternity to a little kid. *sigh*

They also had wonderful toffees as well in various flavors.

Taco flavored Doritos

Where are you? I'm in Los Angeles and I see Taco Doritos at the grocery store all the time.

I miss Hostess lemon and apple pies, chocolate and vanilla zingers, cupcakes and Ding Dongs.

I can't stand regular hot dogs but I used to eat Oscar Meyer Smokies. I've been devastated since they discontinued them. Bar S brand has some but they suck ass.

I miss the Orange shake they used to have at Del Taco.

Fizzies. In the 1960s, they were a flavored tablet dropped into tap water to make a soft drink. Pretty bland as I remember, and the worst root beer flavor ever. They became carbonated and dissolved in water like Alka-Seltzer. You could put a cherry one on your tongue and it looked like your mouth was bleeding. Fun times.

- Pizza Hut "Calizzas"

Any relation to Pizza Hut's Priazzo? a sort of pizza "pie" in the more literal sense. It had pizza fillings and a top crust. The meatza one was great.

Quik brand banana flavoring for milk. man I miss that stuff.

Nehi brand soft drinks. They had all the best fruit flavors - orange and grape being the two I remember best. I understand it's still available of you search hard enough, but they used to be in every convenience store when I was a kid.

 

[Third Nacelle]

Quik brand banana flavoring for milk. man I miss that stuff.

It's still around, they just changed the name to Banana Nesquik.

 

[Pegaritaville]

You can still buy Quisp.

I haven't seen it in decades- Quisp was my favorite cereal growing up.


I miss Pepsi Light (kind of had a lemon flavor). When I heard they were discontinuing it, I went out and bought every 12-pack I could find.

I also miss Bomino's Turkish Taffy.

 

[Robert Maxwell]

Do they still make boxed candies which have booze in them?

My girlfriend and I got a bunch of alcohol-filled chocolate "bottles" a while back. Shaped like actual liquor bottles, made of chocolate, wrapped in foil, with actual alcohol inside. Fucking awesome. We had way too many of those. They sold 'em at the liquor store.

No, they're different things (Calizzas were like turnovers) but I miss Priazzos too.

Our Dollar General store has cheese balls in 5 gallon drums for $3.

for some reason that isn't very appealing

Taco flavored Doritos

Where are you? I'm in Los Angeles and I see Taco Doritos at the grocery store all the time.

I'm in Florida. They started selling them again in the retro bags about a year or so ago. Six months ago they disappeared again. I can't find them anywhere.

 

[Kira's Mom]

You can still buy Quisp.

I also miss Bomino's Turkish Taffy.

[Pondwater]

Origianl recipe Three Musketeers bars

Oh, no, I used to love Three Musketeers! What have they done to them?

ETA that I got my answer here. Not sure I like the sounds of it.

One of these days, I expect to see an oil drum of DG brand root beer for $3.

Some things are regional, so it's hard to know if it's been discontinued or not.

I miss:

Campbell's Chunky - Chicken Mushroom Chowder (though I scratch-make something very similar) - been gone for several years

dnL - a green, lime flavored 7up with caffeine - they only made it one year

good Swiss Creme brand soda - it's not the same as it used to be, so it might as well be gone

Dean's Extra Rich Egg-Nog - used to be in the dark blue quart bottle - haven't seen it in years, only the regular & lean ()

Vanilla creme Pop-Tarts - the ones with vanilla inside & on top - they come back once in a while, then disappear again
