Ask Lemmy

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

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!

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.

Smurfberry Crunch

Soylent Green. People have no taste these days.

Josta. Pepsi's first "energy drink" that they released in the mid 90's, made with guarana AND caffeine.

This was back in the days when Pepsi could "sponser" a middle school by putting a branded soda machine in a common area. It's how I ended up drinking grape Fuitopia every day at lunch, and every day I'd get a bottle of Josta for the walk home.

It wasn't immediately palatable. Reminiscent of Moxie but without the waxy aftertaste. It was like drinking carbonated cough syrup. But just like the other energy drinks that would follow a few years later, I really came to appreciate the taste.

It recently popped up in the background of a scene of the first season of Loki which had me hopeful for a revival, but no such luck.

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

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

Space food sticks!!!!

Chicken flavour Cheetos

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.

Coco Rocks were the best thing ever.

I have also heard good things about Cheese Moments, although I've never experienced them myself

Pizza Mia from Pizza Hut.

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.

Tic Tac Icegloo https://www.produkt.at/produkte/detail/id/10734/

I discovered these in my childhood before I discovered ordinary tic tacs, but they were discontinued soon after.

Monster assault energy drink, the "new" flavour is a disgusting mockery of the original.
