They only answer I'd ever give.

Buitoni Instant Pizza

I’d say Planter’s Cheez Balls and lime green skittles, but people wised up and brought those back recently.

This was my first thought. Not sure if it is a nostalgia thing or if it was actually good at this point. I did like it a lot back then though.

McSkillet burrito, so yummy :(

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

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

I don’t know if it’s discontinued or not sold in the US anymore, but there used to be this European cereal called Pocketini that was square’s filled with chocolate. Kellogg'scame out with cheap rip off that had much less and waxy tasting chocolate and smaller squares that just sucks.

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

[–] Emi621@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

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.

McDonalds bacon egg and cheese bagel along with Jack in the Box's ciabatta breakfast sandwich.

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.

Fiery Habanero Doritos

[–] toffi@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

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.

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.

[–] pdxfed@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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.

[–] 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.

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