Bear Valley pemican bars. 450 calories in the size of a cliff bar and honestly pretty good tasting. Dry so you needed water but had good flavor.

The original Pizzaria Uno cream of broccoli soup from the 90s. It was maybe the perfect version of that soup.

Morton Mini Donuts, covered in sugar n cinnamon. Pop in the oven, crisp and hot. Haven't seen them since the mid 80s. Sad

Does it count if they still make the product but something changed so it doesn't taste the same anymore? If yes I definitely miss Termix don't know what they did but it's not the same. Also am lactose intolerant so can't really eat it anymore anyway. There's probably more things but this one I remember the most, also Pribináček.

I was going to say Snapple Elements, but apparently they're back on shelves within the last month.

Croissant Pockets. Hot Pockets also had a Beef and Cheddar flavor a long time ago and whatever equivalent they have now is not the same.

Smart Foods also used to have a spicy cheese popcorn but they changed it to an even hotter version. I can barely taste the cheese now. Bring back the original!

Soylent Green. People have no taste these days.

Monster has a line of canned coffee-like products they call their Java series. One of them was Swiss Chocolate flavored. It is discontinued, always separated, left an awful sludge in the bottom of the can, but I loved those things.

From '03 to '06, there was a guacamole flavored Dorito. Best bag snack I've ever had.

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.

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.

Pizza Mia from Pizza Hut.

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

[-] tal@lemmy.today 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

WP says that they still sell it abroad:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepsi_Blue

Pepsi Blue was announced in May 2002.[1] It launched in mid-2002 and discontinued in Canada and the United States in 2004, although it remains available in the Philippines.

I didn't get a hit on Google Shopping (just for expired stuff for that brief time they brought it back in the US a couple of years ago), but you might be able to figure out a way to get ahold of it from the Philippines.

Archway Rocky Road cookies. It was their best variety by far, but they discontinued them.

[-] devilkitty@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

No one is going to say it? Really now.

I miss the Twinkies. Not the cloud cakes. Not the bitter chemicals they sell called Twinkies. The actual american decadent sponge cake with a cream center.

Also, my father used to buy circus peanuts around the same time every year, when I was a boy. I don't know the flavor, but it wasn't fake banana that's common now.
