Spinoff: discontinued food you wish they'd bring back

[RetailWorkhorse]

Mary Jane's or Bit-o-Honey's in bags by themselves anywhere here. Well, scratch that. Mary Jane is only available seasonally, and I once found Bit o honey in a bag in a store.

Two things I carry year-round. How many bags of each would you like? Comes about 8-15 pieces (I haven't counted) to a bag, 12 bags to a case. I can order and ship to you however much you like.

[*]Swanson frozen dinners.

Sold by Sav-a-lot now, I believe.

4) There was this one cereal I loved as a kid, though I can't remember the name of it. It was a Rice Krispies-type cereal with fruit-shaped marshmallows in it. The box was red, I think, and it had cartoon fruit on the front. It used to be my favourite cereal, but I haven't seen a box of it since I was 5.

OMG, I thought I was going to be the sole poster for this one. This was Fruity Marshmallow Krispies. I still remember the commercial jingle!! I'm sure it is probably out there on YouTube or Hulu.

Years after they stopped making the fruity krispies, the company that makes Cocoa and Fruity Pebbles made ones called Dino-Pebbles which were a similar concept to the marshmallow krispies. They just didn't have that same taste.

I also vote: Jello Pudding Pops, Crystal Pepsi, Ecto Cooler, Surge, and the short-lived OK Soda (we bought them mostly for the fun sayings and stuff on the cans. I actually collected all the different ones, but I don't know what happened to the collection.

Others I haven't seen mentioned:
*McD's Chicken Fajita (yeah, not really high quality but I loved the taste!), the ORIGINAL McD's McChicken (the one that was in the shape of a shark fin...).

*The ORIGINAL S'mores cereal. Not the over-sugary version they have called "S'morez". If it ain't broke, don't fix it!!!

*The original HoneyComb. They changed it somehow and the texture just isn't what it used to be.

*Crispy Critters cereal. I LOVED the 'indubitably' critter!

I will post as I think of more...

[*]Cadbury Chocolate Creme Eggs! Still haven't forgiven Cadbury for discontinuing these!

Oh, I totally agree! I still like the original fondant and the caramel eggs, but the chocolate creme eggs were the best!

Also, Honey Bran cereal. And I'm sure you'll find some more cereals on that page to bring back memories...

Smoothie-flavor Skittles. I loved them and now I can't find them anywhere.

Flat Earth brand chips. They had fruit-flavored corn chips. Sounds nasty, but they were *delicious*.

[AdminAssistant]

And I'm sure you'll find some more cereals on that page to bring back memories...

Pop-Tarts Crunch....That I remember. Mom was fairly strict about cereal purchases (we usually had plain Cheerios, Honey Nut Cheerios, or Frosted Mini-Wheats). But I distinctly remember eating Pop-Tarts Crunch and that it wasn't very good. I remember seeing a lot of the others though...Smurf Berry Crunch, Boo Berry, Nerds, etc.

[HappyFun Ball]

Kool-Aid used to have 2 flavors I loved! Sunshine Punch and Rainbow Punch.. I miss those.

There also use to be a yogurt called Sprinklin's that had a bunch of good flavors and and these really tasty sprinkles.

Nerds used to have Cherry/ Orange and Blueberry/Raspberry flavors that were real good.

I also want the following things back in stores:[list][*]Mountain Dew Livewire needs to be consistently available, all year round, EVERYWHERE Pepsi is sold,
[*]Mello Yello -- Coke's equivalent of Mountain Dew, which needs to be as readily available as Mountain Dew.

They are bringing back some old favorites for a while so maybe at least during that time, Livewire might be easier to find though I don't know why it isn't always easy to find when it's supposed to be one of the permanent flavors.

In the last year or so, I've been seeing Mellow Yellow more often so possibly it is making a bit of a comeback?

[mlmama]

The Dollar General near me has Dunk-A-Roos. I have to fight my daughter for the last little package. They also have Bit O Honey and Mary Janes (?) and other odd candies.

[stephenr]

Surge needs to come back. I know Vault took its place but Surge was better tasting. Mountain Dew Supernova was also another good flavor. Hopefully it comes back soon.

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

[*]Mello Yello -- Coke's equivalent of Mountain Dew, which needs to be as readily available as Mountain Dew.

Mello Yello seems to be readily avilable in my neck of the woods. There's even Mello Yello Zero, which is pretty yucky. Nowhere near as close an approximation of the original as Coke Zero is.

Another discontinued food I miss: watermelon Pop Tarts.

[Dreamstalker]

I used to LIVE on Surge (actually, that might explain a lot )

Five Alive (it's apparently still made, but really hard to find in the US). Mom hated when dad let me buy the stuff, I compromised by letting her add half real fruit juice whenever I had some. The Invigorating and Pomegranate versions on the wikipedia page look really good.

[fireheart]

You'll all hate me.

We get Dunk-A-Roos here by the truckload

[ralerin]

@RH: Ah, thanks but I'm all set.

Oh yes the Mcd's fajita! Used to enjoy it with sweet and sour sauce and tons of pepper (yes I know, weird but it was delicious!)

[fma_fanatic]

Add me in for Crystal Pepsi. I did like the Pepsi Blue, though the burps I got from drinking it were something to be heard.

Applebees Steak Fajita Rollups. I loved those and it was a running joke at a place I temped at that it was the only thing I'd order on the menu when we went to the local Applebees for lunch. I was sad when they took it off the menu.

A few months later, we were visiting the husband's sisters and I just about wet myself to see that the Applebees we were at still had them. He joked that me and the Rollups needed a quiet corner (I've been known to have food orgasms; they are rather..interesting).

I know that the international market near me has the Kinder eggs, and if I understand what a friend said a few months back on Facebook, it's not a matter of buying them here that's illegal, but buying them in Europe and shipping them back to the states that's illegal, unless you're a retailer (at least that's what one of the managers at the international market told me).

Apparently friend's younger brother who's serving in Afghanistan had a stopover in Germany before coming home, bought and shipped some for her kids. Customs confiscated the shipment and he was pretty mad. I guess the amount he bought wasn't cheap.

I did offer to buy her some and ship them if she'd send some money, but I haven't heard anything from her yet. I don't know if it's a seasonal thing or if they sell them year round.

Ice Cream Cones cereal
Goobers
