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

"Lean Strips" "1970's meat-free bacon substitute"

I remember when McDonald's hamburgers were 59 cents and the cheeseburgers were 69 cents.... I think pizza was 75 cents a slice.

Original CocaCola before they fucked with it. It's never been the same since. They substituted high fructose corn syrup for real cane sugar. Does NOT taste the same. You can still buy the original Coke in Mexico, Europe, and Asia. Tastes like you remember.

I used to eat that. It's a lot better if you add ingredients to it. Green onions, spices, etc.

I've seen the Mexican Coke at local grocery stores in the Mexican foods section.

Yep, mainly seaweed - as the filler material. The healthy foods market was nascent then, today it'd be a viable competitor to BK's Impossible Whopper.

Plus seaweed won't turn you into a soy boi...

The burger had less fat because the patty was only 91% meat because of the added carrageans, which is a chemical derived from red seaweed.

The burger had 10-16 grams fewer fat than the normal Big Mac.

The burger was developed by food scientists at Auburn University.

I'm having trouble finding the big bags of salted peanuts in the shell. They used to cost like $2.99 at the supermarket. Now, if they even have them, they're $2.99 for a pound.

Pure cane sugar - it rocks. Pepsi has a similar vesion.

Big fan of the Jarritos soda pops too:

More than a particular food, I wish companies wouldn't play with successful formulas, invariably ruining them.

McDonald's with seed oils.
Good n plenty with thin shell.
Coke with hfcs.
Snickers with sickening sweetness.
Ben n Jerry's with their ridiculous graveyard.

I do miss Taco doritos, but the fact there is so much toxic crap in them, I suppose that is a blessing.

They look like Fanta Fanta!!

Snapple kiwi teawi.

You and Bruce Willis...

CooL ColT Menthol Malt Liquor

Yikes!

Snickers and Milk Way, both were far less sweet and had a deeper caramel flavor back in the day.

The original BBQ fritos and Pizza Hut's original bbq pizza

What was on the pizza? I hate red onions...

I'm about 6 months older than him, lol

Fanta's great too, but they don't have as many flavors - grape, orange, strawberry and the killer good pineapple!

Oooh, here's one that really sticks in my craw, and not a food item: Under Armor Charged Cotton t-shirts. These were the softest shirts I have ever worn and I bought dozens of them. Then, after a year or three, they switched the formula to include lycra or something similar. You can go to sites that sell this brand and find hundreds of thousands of comments from patrons upset that they changed and will not bring back the original. It is weird and I wonder why companies do this, and why they do not listen to the people that buy their products???

Waffles and cocaine

To take the heat down I saute them in olive oil briefly and deglaze with a dash of balsamic vinegar.

Btw, great thread, thanks for starting it.

I would like to drink, just one more time for old times sake, the original California Coolers.

Garlic & Sea Salt Wavy Lays chips were really good too.

The U.S. version was different, mostly a blue raspberry flavor with maybe a slight hint of pepsi, I mainly remember the blue raspberry.

Kind of similar to Moutain Dew Voltage, to be honest. Which is probably why we'd never get Pepsi Blue back.
