Like the title says, what foods do you miss that aren't available anymore?
1. Reggie Bars. One of the best tasting candy bars ever made. Named after famous New York Yankee Reggie Jackson. It only had a 5 year run. God, I miss that damn candy bar.
2. McDonald's fried apple pie. Part of any old person's childhood was getting a deep fried apple pie from McDonald's & biting into it before it had time to cool. You would end up burning your lips, tongue & the roof of your mouth. But it was so worth it. Also available (but not as tasty) was the deep fried cherry pie. I think they're still available in parts of the United Kingdom. Lucky bastards.
3. McDonald Land Cookies. The cookies from McDonald's. Chocolate chip or vanilla. Nothig made you fatter than to finish off your meal with a couple of boxes of these.
4. Breyer's Viennetta ice cream dessert. I swear to God- look at this thing. It tasted as good as it looked.
5. McDonald's McDLT. It was just the concept that made it taste good.
6. McDonald's Arch Deluxe. This hamburger kicked serious ass! So damn good!
7. Ice Cream Cones cereal. Not only was this really good, but you could send away for a little toy piano to play the jingle. Which I had! Until my damn cousin stole it from me. Screw you, Johan!

Doritos 3D. Those little canisters were addicting and a huge part of my college dorm experience.
I can't remember the name but there was a short time where Planters sold PB/Chocolate crisps candy bites that were epic, but then vanished after a year or two.
Taco Bell Club Chalupa. Here and gone, never to be seen again.
Mountain Dew Revolution. It didn't win the original competition and was never brought back. I'm still bitter about it and have a loathing for MD Voltage because of it.
Nestle's Mocha Crunch. My favorite candy bar of all time.
I'm sure I'll think of others.

Grilled steak tacos from Taco Bell and peanut butter Pop Tarts.
There's a lot of good about Canada but those are some serious detriments.

Cadbury Marble and BN Biscuits.
(I believe they're still produced in some parts of the world, but they died out in the UK years ago.)

Krystal used to sell popcorn chicken called Chicken Bites. They always were fresh, tender, and juicy and delicious with awesome BBQ sauce. Those went away. Now (at my nearest franchise anyway) the Chik has changed for the worse. It used to have the same quality chicken and paired perfectly with everything else. My favorite thing to get out. But the last couple orders I've gotten dry, bland, preprocessed parties. Haven't went there in months.
Wal-Mart used to carry a wide variety of frozen veggies under their Great Value brand, meant for stir fry. Most were good for sides and one especially was fantastic for a ground beef and Ramen dish with fresh mushrooms. Of course, that one bit the dust as well.
3D Doritos.
Pepsi Blue, a berry-flavored cola colored blue. I liked the fizziness. After it vanished everywhere else in the store, my family would let me stock up on it from a vending machine outside our Kmart until the well dried up.
One that recently disappeared from stores and a quick browse on retail sites yielded no results: A&W branded Cream Soda powdered drink mix. Have a ton stocked up anyway. (Now if only they can get a Creamsicle-flavored mix...)
One my mother liked but has insensitively made a resurgence in the last few years: Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper.

Easily Burger King chicken tenders. It makes absolutely NO sense that they would ever change this because it was always the best alternative to 'nuggets' that are constantly pushed on us. Had a unique taste, everything about it was good. It's a bummer these don't exist anymore.  Also, this one kind of doesn't count, but Doritos Salsa Verde (which are actually currently out of production because of the pandemic) were the best of the best back in the day in multiple parts of the country. I didn't know they still existed for ages until a west coast trip where I found them. Since then I've had them a few times and shoved them into my suitcase to bring back, but I don't get why these are limited to the west coast and not nation wide instead of the gross sweet chili ones and whatever else Doritos comes up with. Salsa Verde Doritos are one of the best tasting snacks like that ever.  |
