Limited edition Late Night Jalapeno Popper Doritos. It was a limited run I think, maybe around 2009, 2010? I still miss them.

There used to be boxed ice cream with blueberry and egg yolk flavor. Loved it as a kid, got discontinued by the ice cream truck that had it. No replacement found. I probably won't even like it since I have forgotten the taste at this point.

Hmmm. Egg flavored ice cream. That’s a new one for me.

Tic Tac Icegloo https://www.produkt.at/produkte/detail/id/10734/

I discovered these in my childhood before I discovered ordinary tic tacs, but they were discontinued soon after.

Coco Rocks were the best thing ever.

I have also heard good things about Cheese Moments, although I've never experienced them myself

I don't remember the name but there was an energy bar with the flavor a specific juice that got really popular at some point when I was a kid. I think they suddenly discontinued it due to ingredients causing cancer. I had eaten so much of it that it was a bit worrying.

I swear there was a lollipop brand that looked like chupa chups or chupa chups themselves used to have a different flavor because they were the only lollipops I liked but can't find them anywhere after leaving middle school so I guess they stopped making them.

Monster assault energy drink, the "new" flavour is a disgusting mockery of the original.

Devil's Food cake/cookies. Originally they were Nabisco: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/9b/a0/af/9ba0af2803a08d55bdc523ad21648559.jpg The red and yellow box. These were a wonderful memory from my childhood. Then you could only find Snackwell's version. They were like 95% of what I remembered, not exact but so close they were still good. The last box I got (in the before times) tasted absolutely terrible and nothing like they used to. Tasted like dryness and absence of sweetness with no chocolate flavor. Texture wrong, everything wrong. Amazon would not accept my review of the new recipe. I may have compared them to the Devil's butthole. Evidently those are discontinued now. I guess they went the route of making the new recipe so hateful we would celebrate the end of the production.

I'd love to be able to have something that tastes like the original ones though.

I remember, and miss them. My grandma always had them around back in the mid-seventies, and they were the treat of all treats.

She always had Buc-Wheats cereal in the pantry too.

Now and laters had some less common flavors that were soooo good. Cherry Cola 🤤Now it's impossible to find anything outside of the 4-5 flavors in big containers.

Pepsi Blue. They brought it back for like a week and it was amazing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Used to chase black velvet with Pepsi blue in HS. Perfect chaser, annihilated any preceding flavors.

They introduced two new peanut flip flavours. One was Mexican and the other was oriental or something. They kept the Mexican one and ditched the superior oriental for some reason. Still thinking about them from time to time.

Cocoa Hoots cereal. Loved those; fifty years on and I still remember how they tasted…
