Food they don't make anymore (but should)

Carnation breakfast bars.

Noodles Romanoff

Chicken in a Biscuit

The best cereal ever: Country Morning

I still see Chicken in a Biskit is stores.

Chicken in a biskit is very much around

Those sound delicious OP.

Ayds candy

Forget the McRib, they need to bring the Cheddar Melt back. Rye bun, onions sautéed in butter and teriyaki sauce, and a cheddar cheese sauce.

I also liked their breakfast burritos and fajitas.

Figurines of course.

Someone mentioned on another site that these were discontinued, but I can confirm they are back in stores now. I just picked up bag today.

....

Sunshine brand used to make these soft cookies with a pink or white marshmallow on top sprinkled with coconut. They were SO good. They must have phased them out in the early 1990's.

Opera Creme cookies

R13, Much prefer Sunshine packaged cookies to Nabisco. These soft marshmallow cookies were so good.

Mallo Mounds, Marshmallow Mounds, or MalloMars had a chocolate or vanilla cookie bottom with a mound of marshmallow on top. It was topped with chocolate sprinkles (jimmies).

They didn't come in a box. Like Oreos they were in a cello bag with a plastic tray holding the cookies so that the marshmallow mound would not get smashed.

I also loved Sunshine golden fruit biscuits. Apparently other companies make these, called “Garibaldi”. They had such a satisfying texture.

Corn Bran cereal.

I used to love this stuff. You bake it and it puffs up and becomes crunchy and chewy. I’d slop butter and honey on it. Delicious.

I’ve gotten a brown rice version at the Japanese market, but it’s not the same. The cinnamon raisin was the key...

Dannon frozen yogurt pops. I loved the coffee yogurt covered with chocolate.

Did they have real bacon in them?

They need to put the cocaine back in Coke and the heroin back in cough medicine.

Oregon Farms Carrot Cake-It was EXCELLENT quality. It disappeared at least 20 years ago.

OP, I remember when they were called Bacon Thins. I had to get a box every time we went to the store.

FIZZIES!

Callard & Bowser's Butterscotch. They stopped making it so they could devote the production space to Altoids, not one of which I have ever purchased in my life.

R3 your crackers are still made and sell very well at Walmart stores.

Just because they ceased being stocked in your local grocery be assured the trash that shops at Walmart loves them.

This always gets a mention in threads such as this...

Kellogg's Concentrate Cereal in the little gold foil box.

I loved Concentrate. I wish they would make it again.

JELL-O pudding pops, with a new spokesperson. Those things were the bomb.

Also loved making Jello 1-2-3, but mine never came out with evenly spaced layers.

I loved the root beer flavored Fizzies. You were supposed to drop them in a glass of water and they would fizz up. But we just put the tablets in our mouths instead.

I heard there was a flood in the factory.

Pizzaria's Chips

R17, I totally forgot about that cereal, I loved it.

R29 Both ClickAmericana and the Mr. Breakfast website indicate the cereal was still very popular when Kellogg's (stupidly) discontinued it. I've also wondered why no one has tried to replicate it?

Thomas Date Nut Bread and old recipe Twinkies.

Doritos, "taco" flavor chips. They're actually still available, but not widely.

Quisp

R35, Miss date nut bread. Have dates gotten too expensive to make a profit selling it?

And don't forget Quake!

Danish Go Rounds. They were much better than Pop-Tarts

Ben & Jerry's Boston Cream Pie

Haagen-Dazs Pralines & Cream

Pepperidge Farm used to make individual pastries that were stuffed with a sauce and sliced mushrooms. They came frozen. Excellent.

[quote] They need to put the cocaine back in Coke and the heroin back in cough medicine.

And the lithium back in 7up.

r23, that's the actual box - i just didn't remember "bacon thins"

at one point, they were still available in canada.

darn, i love those crackers

They brought back Bugles, but they didn't bring back Whistles or Daisy*s...

Buitoni canned cheese ravioli

I won't even go back that far, OP. I absolutely love these ice cream bars. I haven't been able to find them for several years. Of course, Magnum brought out new flavors, but none of them compare to this one. It wasn't exactly sugar free, but it was a lot less sweet than everything else. Fuck the sugar-addicted assholes who have to have everything sickeningly sweet.

For the price point, it was delicious.

Cool Whip Squiggle.

Everyone loved it!

Johnsonville Corn Dogs

Swanson tv dinners - loved the turkey and stuffing one.

Banquets are ok but Swansons were the bomb!

Speaking of Burry's...

Kellogg’s Raisin Squares

Drakes fruit pies fried in lard. Disgusting but tasty, cheap, and calorific snack for growing boys.

Howard Johnson’s frozen macaroni and cheese. Delicious.

Tostito's Nacho cheese corn ground chips!

My fresh twinky ass.

Spreadables by Carnation. Delicious chicken salad in a can. Yum!

Bonkers Candy

Did all of you grow up in trailer parks?

It used to be easy to find frozen yogurt - is it just my local stores that no longer stock it?

I used to love this oatmeal as a kid with the gummy bears!

Such healthy foods! You know what never got discontinued? Fresh fruits and vegetables! Eat some girls you might be able to see your own junk if you eat enough of them!

original coke

R65 that's off topic, doll.

Ice milk.

Best munchie fix EVAH!

They still make food?

Product 19!

As a stoner college student in the early 90's, this was the stuff of dreams.

I always thought Hersheyets (better than M&Ms) were discontinued - they're impossible to find around here - until I found seconds ago that they can be bought online.

Cranberry Splash Sierra Mist was incredible poured over a frozen mixture of vodka, lemonade, orange juice, and sugar for a holiday pick-me-up.

I also loved Haagen-Dazs’s five-ingredient brown sugar ice cream.

Sir Bananas banana milk was delicious and refreshing.

Ben And Jerry's WAVY GRAVY- It was FABULOUS

Noodles Romanoff owns this thread...

R25, Sees Candy makes butterscotch that has a very similar taste and texture to Callard and Bowser butterscotch.

R50, State Fair sells all beef and all meat corn dogs. Better than what you'd buy at a fair or at Hot Dog On A Stick.

Howard Johnson's Orange Cake.

Can't even find a copycat recipe.

THIS! Diet Black Cherry Vanilla Coke. It was the bees knees and it was discontinued and I still have never recovered.

I remember buying CASES of it when it was announced discontinued.

I should write a letter to Congress or something.

Soda in glass bottles. I don't drink them often but the taste is so much better in glass. You really can't find them any more which is why I rarely drink soda. Fountain drinks can be OK, but the taste in plastic is awful and the waste is unconscionable, especially those damn plastic rings.

Mexican Coke in glass bottles (and with real sugar) is readily available.

We have done this topic SOOOOO many times!

This one has over 400 responses; last one in Feb. 2020.

Aunt Jemima is going away completely, I'm OK with that, but I wish she'd bring back the wonderful little streusel top coffee cake mix in the weird squeeze bag before she checks out.

OP, r23, r45, while I was at the supermarket today, I looked in the cracker aisle, but did not find the word "bacon" on even one box.

Sego.

Carnation Instant Breakfast packets (not the new lousy ones)

Fresca

Howard Johnson all you eat clam strips.

Howard Johnson all you eat clam strips.

Howard Johnson all you can eat clam strips.

Gays don't eat clam!

Well, continuing on in that vein, they should bring back Shoney's all you can eat breakfast bar.

Hotel brunches that could choke an elephant.

These cheesecake bars were good.

r88 r89 r90 = Connie Francis

The Universal City Hilton in North Hollywood (?) used to have this fabulous brunch with a buffet about 30 yards long. The food was exceptional and featured a lot of fresh seafood--shrimp, crab, oysters, even maybe lobster meat, although I'm not sure on that last one. Also all the brunch items like eggs, french toast. OMG.

R95, how did you guess?

Screaming Yellow Zonkers were the bomb. The boxes they originally came in were entertaining to read and even educational (see below).

They have made "limited edition" production runs of it from time to time, but not currently. The only way to get that taste is to make it yourself with a copycat recipe.

Artificial butter flavor was a key factor in the taste, so you can't just use real butter, you have to buy that little bottle of butter flavoring.

The food the astronauts (supposedly) ate...

They still make bacon Cheez-Its.

Duncan Hines made a better mix than Aunt Jemima.

racist

Vitamin Water 50 Cent flavor. It was grape and my favorite. The company had a falling out with 50 Cent so discontinued the flavor.

Ice Milk!

I'm vegan now but Budget Gourmet Chicken a la King. Damn that was good.

Aydes

All of the same shit that was listed last time this thread was created.

Bacon Thins were great.

Ice milk is probably the same thing as whatever Breyers is now.

The one Hostess pie I liked was Blackberry, which was seasonal, but seems to have disappeared. Not as oversweet as cherry.

Banquet was always awful, bargain brand stuff.

Frozen Dream Whip in a tub.

Jell-O Spoon Candy.

Jello Chiffon pudding (Lemon & Chocolate). I think it was basically "Whip & Chill" before they made "Whip & Chill", which is also missed.

Not quite, twat R107. No Pillsbury Food Sticks.

Premium saltines cheddar. They weren't as strong as other cheese crackers. They just had a light, delicious taste.

R108 No, Breyers doesn't taste like the old ice milk. Breyers is really bland-tasting ice cream (thicker than ice milk). I don't remember Breyers tasting so bad decades ago.

^^^ I meant tasting so bland.

Schrafft's Ice Cream- ca. 1979 my mother would leave it on the counter to soften it up just as we started dinner. That was the premium ice cream BEFORE Haagen Dazs and Ben And Jerry's.

"Fresca"

Fresca is still available.

Fresca is being discontinued.

Good thing they still make this.

Banquet boil in bag meals. Or as we know it these days "sous vide".

"Bacon"

Sizzle Lean

Is Fresca going to be discontinued?

According to Coca-Cola, there are no plans to discontinue Fresca. It has been in short supply during the pandemic but should be back to normal availability within the next few months.

Diet Coke w/Lime.

Fuck Fresca. it's worse than drinking piss. They should have discontinued that and kept TaB.

Fresca is good, but they use aspartame, so I can't drink it. They should switch to Splenda instead of aspartame.

I might have mentioned this product before - DO DADS

Nabisco chocolate covered Graham crackers. Delicious dark chocolate, not available during summer months. Nothing else comes close. Even making my own.

Hydrox. So much better than Oreos. I just googled and they are coming back soon. And I loved buying a whole package of Lidos from Pepperidge Farms. Now they only come in the big chocolate box mixed with others I don't like. And do they still make orange sherbet?

I never see 5 Alive anymore. Is it still around?

r128 I think Trader Joe's had some chocolate-covered graham crackers a few years ago, but they were very expensive and semi-"artisanal," if you get my drift.

Lemon Coolers Cookies!!!

Entenmann’s Cherry Buns

BA Isco used to sell a cookie assortment that had their entire cookie line in one box. The vanilla sandwich cookies were my favorite. Golden Oreos do not compare.

Pancakes Barbara!

Twelfth Cake

Mr. Salty pretzel sticks.

Keebler’s makes great chocolate-covered graham crackers. They’re called Deluxe Grahams and are very dense. They’re made with milk chocolate though.

FRIBBLES

When the Friendly's chain was new to America, the restaurants served a burger on toast called the Big Beef. The hot juices dripped into the bread and made for an awesome combination. I always paired one with an Awful Awful, a thick shake that became the Fribble.

Chocolate malts are hard to find. Most restaurants don't want to bother because there's so little demand. But chocolate malts beat chocolate-only shakes hands down.

I was just thinking about that the other day R35. What is the difference between the old and new Twinkies? The new just seem weirdly flavorless.

Space Food Sticks

Bring back Tequiza to go with your food.

Omg Pillsbury Food Sticks!! I’ve been trying to remember those FOREVER!!

The chocolate was not very good but the peanut butter and the orange were, from what I recall. I used to have those every day.

Yes R134!!!

Dunkin Donuts before they deemphasized Donuts and stopped making them FRESH DAILY- they often taste burnt- my father once told me that means that they don't change the oil the donuts are cooked in.

In r49 is that DL fave Claudia Lamb, aka 'Heather Hartman' with the Cool Whip squiggle?

R130, I miss Five Alive. Our grocers only sold it in frozen concentrated form, I was just looking for that recently.

There used to be these Kraft spaghetti dinner kits, they were a can of meat sauce, a 1/2 pound portion of dry pasta and a little bag of Parmesan cheese, all in a box. Loved ‘em. When I was a kid, my hungover dad used to make it sometimes on Sunday late mornings for himself and my sister and I and we LOVED it.

Brachs made the most delicious French Burnt Peanuts. Perfect taste and crunchy. When they discontinued it, I went on a search for an equivalent. Never found it.

The food at Chock Full O Nuts- like date nut bread with cream cheese and their pound cake. They also had tasty donuts.

Uneeda biscuits

Aunt Jemima liquid pourable pancake batter. The pancakes came out thin, fluffy and a little sweet. My mom only bought Bisquik at home but when were sailing the liquid batter was easier for her to prepare breakfast in a tiny boat “kitchen.” I always wanted her to buy it to use at home.

The Reggie Jackson and Chocolite candy bars.

Life Savers - FANCY FRUITS. Does anyone remember this? One of the flavors was pear.

Peanut butter boppers

I've not seen any of these, ever. In fact I haven't seen many foods at all.

The delicious pizza sized APPLE PANCAKES at Bickford's Pancake house in the 1970's.

Nabisco used to have a triangle-shaped cracker that was loaded with poppy seeds. Very tasty and crunchy. Second the vote for UNEEDA Biscuits.

White grapefruit juice. The pink's too sweet for me.

Kellogg's PEP cereal.

Welch's frozen concentrate grape juice. The best flavor of any of their other incarnations. The aroma and taste were exquisite, but ephemeral.

Breyer's ice cream, like they made in the olden days. Many of the flavors now have so little dairy in them they cannot be termed ice cream, Frozen Dairy Dessert is the new monicker. They used to make an English Walnut flavor that was very good, speaking as a confirmed juglanphile.

I remember fancy fruits and pear Lifesavers. Lifesavers used to be good. They all taste like chemicals now and most of my favorite flavors are gone anyway.

Chicken in a Biscuit

A ton of the foods you guys mention are still on the market.

I noticed that as well R162.

These folks are not good shoppers.

Another vote for Chicken in a Biscuit. Also Sociables

They still make chicken in a biskit you dumb doras.

Just ask your local grocer to order it, if they carry any Nabisco/snackworks products they can get it.

McDonald's Fried Apple Pies. The baked ones are shit.

Dannon Raspberry Frozen Yogurt bars dipped in dark chocolate.

I just found out that Freshen Up gum was discontinued, in 2019. I haven't seen that on the shelves in decades.

Space Food Sticks

Pepperidge Farm's Old Fashioned Lemon Nut Crunch cookies.

Caribou Coffee chewy granola bars

i really liked the Magic Pan, a restaurant chain in the Mall. Many Dlers do too. There are threads.

There used to be Keebler brand cookies that were peanut butter inside with hard dark chocolate outside. It was late 70s/early 80s. My gran would keep them in the fridge. So damn good and her daily slice of Entenmens crumble cake. Oh and their walnut frosting cake.

R168, they used to sell it at Cracker Barrel in the last few years before they discontinued it. Before that, I could find it at a certain truck stop/ gas station place and at one little gas station store at a Walmart (after I moved away from Sheetz in the late 90s.) Late 80s and early 90s had it at a lot of convenience stores. Before that I could find it at any grocery store.

I was a Freshen Up chewer since 1976. I still look on ebay to see if anybody's grandma has died and they found some to sell in her pantry. RIP best gum ever.

Oreo cookies. The crap they sell these days under that name are terrible.

Ben And Jerry's WAVY GRAVY- discontinued in 2006.

Keebler German Chocolate Cookies. A chocolate cookie that wasn't sweet with classic German Chocolate Cake glaze/frosting.

Nabisco Coconut Chocolate Cookies - Discontinued when the Palm Oil craze happened. I can remember my Mom hiding these so that she could dole out 2 for our lunches.

Yes, I was a pudgy kid!!

Ben & Jerry's Boston Cream Pie

Jello Spoon Candy

R177, Is this what you're looking for per chance?

Hi, R180. Not quite the same. Hopefully, the link works.

I think they still make Alpha Bits. I can’t find them in the store but I think Amazon carries it. I’m not going to turn an Amazon driver into my grocery boy just to have a couple of boxes.

They make the Kraft Tangy Spaghetti Dinner R149 but it's the powder you mix with tomato paste, not the meat flavored sauce.

For OP. You can get these in Europe, same shit as Nabisco's effort.

Jenny Craig has lemon cooler cookies and they’re low calorie! Yum!

R162 that’s because the majority here are shut ins.

Chumm Gum

Swanson tv dinners - I miss the turkey & stuffing one with mashed potatoes and green peas. Oh and cranberry sauce too.

I know I know don't judge...

* Oh they had a good roast beef and gravy one

My favorite Ben & Jerry's - discontinued 2014.
