What Discontinued Food or Drink Product do You Wish Was Back on the Market?

BRING BACK 3D DORITOS

That came back for a little while but in plastic bottles. I saved one and it's next to my Zima bottle.

Uncle Ben used to have a boxed pasta that had a foil bag of pickled vegetables you add to it. It was really good have not seen it for at least 10 years.

red grape malt duck

I remember those. Did you know these are back now? I might get some today, turn my fingers orange...

The original Premium Saltine crackers - not that garbage they're selling now.

You'll be disappointed.

I thought you made that up...

Juicy, sweet watermelon.

And ungassed bananas that don’t rot weird as soon as you get home.

That happens to me a lot with food I think I like. I keep buying Combos on rare occasions.... I don't like them 80% of the time.

The new Planters Cheez Balls are completely different. I think they're terrible.

You've ruined my plans for tonight....

Chi Chi's mexican restaurant, especially the seafood chimichangas. I miss Chi Chi's

I bought 6 cans when they came to town - gave 5 away immediately after.

I used to eat at a bunch of Mexican restaurants when I lived in Knoxville TN. Carne Asada!!!

One place made a house salsa but it was really spicy. Usually the house salsa is mild. I was addicted to it.

Jenkas HubaBuba bubblegum

Betty Crocker's Romanoff noodles, Campbells Green Pea soup

This is back... kinda... I forget the name but it looks just like them:

Which green pea soup? Condensed? I know they still have Chunky.

Saranac sodas are good. I think they use cane sugar.

Wild cherry Hi-C

I was wrong, they don't. Stewart's root beer does though.

Back in the early/mid 80's, Del Monte made Picante sauce. It was a sauce for chips, like salsa today, with the same flavor minus the disgusting chunks. Loved the stuff. I cannot eat the chunks in salsa, but I love the flavor. Too much work now to try and get a chip dunked without any chunks tagging along. Weird and petty, I know, but that is one of my hangups...

I miss the bananas we had back in the 50s. Disease wiped them out. The latest variety is under attack too I have heard.

2 liter california cooler

I find it harder to find the powdered drinks in my grocery store. I managed to find Tang. It's weird.

I hate the chunks too. What we like is called Restaurant style. Sometimes I'll buy a salsa and use one of these on it. Tastes much better then:

A little off topic, but I went to buy my son a stereo sound system with big speakers for Christmas, because it was one of my favorite gifts I received when growing up.

I was shocked to learn they don't make them anymore. The only thing they were selling were wifi-connected single speakers. No dials, no knobs, none of it. Just the Siri type speaker and thats it.

I guess I get it, CDs, radio, and thus the sound systems that play them are dead. All hail wifi.

Regardless, I opted to get him a record player instead............
