Ask Lemmy

When I was in college they came out with a bunch of different "pieces" candies. They were just like Reese's pieces, but for different candies, like Heath and Almond Joy. I loved them, and I loved the fact that you could mix them together to make different flavors. They didn't last too long, though. I was disappointed when I couldn't find them anymore after a few years.

Then later I found a new favorite candy in the Butterfinger cups. They were like Reese's peanut butter cups, but softer and with little Butterfinger pieces in them! I loved them, but they also disappeared in a few years. That's the issue with gravitating toward new things - so many of the ones I find myself enjoying end up failing since most people just like to stick with what they know.

Back during the Fruity/Cocoa Pebbles craze, there was a third cereal in the line, a cinnamon themed one. I had that whenever I could, but it has been gone for years.

So many. Everything I love goes away. The first that comes to mind is Crescent brand au jus. It was the best out there, period.

The next is the bruschetta chicken ciabatta sandwich that Jack in the Box used to have. Amazing.

Uno candy bars are technically still around but impossible to find. I love those little bastards.

There are more but I can't think of them. Do the myriad of products that changed their recipes thinking no one would notice count? I noticed. Sometimes the new thing is dead to me.

Also those old "fire" "rain" element drinks (sobe?) were unbelievably good. In fact sobe was so good in the 90s/00s but changed recipes and packaging so that stuff is bleh to me now.

Original Surge cola. They changed it for the relaunch and it never was quite right. I used to have one every day before [sport] practice in high school.

Oh! Trader Joe's had this pepperjack quiche that was out of this world. Haven't seen it in years. It was the only reason for me to go there.

Edit: this post made me hungry and sad

Nabisco Ideal bars

Crispín chocolate covered wafer cookie snack bars. They were huge and only cost like 79 cents. They were around up until about 2 years ago when they suddenly went out of production.

Eggo Waf-Fulls had a fruit filling inside. Their strawberry filling was to die for. It's a real tragedy we haven't seen them again after over 20 years.

Lan Chi Chili paste, I miss that stuff so much.

OP, Cabot makes a horseradish cheddar, make some cheese fries?

Diet Sunkist lemonade soda

Fanta Exotic. It still exists but it's not sold in my country. Only the sugar free equivalent which is okay but nowhere as good.

Mr Green by SoBe. Tasted like Dr Pepper, but it was green, and was available in Pepsi vending machines after 7up brand split away from PeosiCo in vending machines (iirc it was because that was the time Sierra Mist came out).

Original Treets. Better than m&m's.

Monster orange Khaos (the 30% juice type), and the yellow Ripper flavor also. Miss me with that Papillon and Pipeline Punch.

Mild cheese dip, there all spicy now and I'm allergic to capsaicin. So Its difficult to find any cheese dip around where I am that isn't spicy.
