Crystal Pepsi
I submit the following:
Both of these RULED and I miss them dearly.
Crystal Clear Pepsi. I don’t drink soda anymore, but when I was a kid that was my crack!
I remember they brought it back for a limited time for a bit, but sadly it’s now gone.
I remember not liking Crystal Clear Pepsi because it didn’t taste as good as regular Pepsi, but everyone was so stoked about it that I was afraid to say anything and look uncool haha
Waffle Crisp. The rest of my family couldn’t stand the smell, but it was my go to cereal for years.
Lots of chip flavors. In the UK and probably other countries Frito-Lay makes a Thai Sweet Chili kettle chip under the Sensations sub-brand. They sold it in the U.S. too but dropped the whole Sensations line after the corn chip side did not do well at the same time as Sun Chips were growing (used the same production lines). Hal’s of New York does a really good version of this but I only see them at one hotel I often stop at in Albany.
Later they had a white cheddar and cracked peppercorn flavor, also a kettle chip but with a cut that made it more like Ruffles. Fantastic chip, but gone.
When I was a kid I remember a brand called O’Boise’s. I think it was connected to Keebler. The sour cream and onion was really good. Schlotzsky’s sour cream and onion chips are extremely similar.
Panera used to use chips from a brand called Krunchers. Panera only had the plain kettle chips, but in grocery stores they had a lot of good flavors. Haven’t seen those in years. Now Panera’s chips are private labeled, but taste the same.
Damn I was gonna suggest Hardbite Sweet Ghost Pepper if you like the sweet Thai chili but I think Hardbite is only Canadian.
Never heard of it but I’ll see if I can find it next time we visit my wife’s parents in Quebec

Looks like it’s available in the US from Amazon:

Yeah, you can find gray market imports of the Walker’s Sensations from the UK, but it’s not as convenient or cost-effective as finding them at your local store. I get them occasionally and save them for a lunch treat.
Lays is called Walkers in the UK and the Sensations brand is still sold.
Here there are in my local supermarket. Personally I prefer the Sensation Thai Sweet Chilli nuts, they are the perfect thing while you wait for food to cook on the BBQ.
I miss bbq walkers that came in a black bag. They stopped them decades ago and the last bag I had was when I was maybe 9.
Yes, sorry if I wasn’t clear; it’s only been discontinued in the U.S. as far as I know. Perhaps Canada also; I haven’t seen them there but I don’t know if they had them in the first place.
Big Ed’s Super Saucer
They were at least twice as big as the current brands (the most prominent being ugh Nestlé) of pre-made ice cream cookie sandwiches, and were only around a dollar or two. Not to mention 10 times tastier.
I miss them. I miss them so fucking much… 😖
Learning how they operated the business while trying to figure out why they suddenly stopped being sold around me, it makes sense. They just relied on word of mouth while also changing the areas they serviced making it difficult to actually acquire product.
You could try these, if they’re available in your area, seems pretty similar and I always liked em.
Good lord these things were an 11/10. The peanut butter was god-like.
The original Mountain Dew Fruit Punch Kickstart
Snackwraps from McDonalds. BKs version just isn’t the same.
Kudos bars.
I really liked their spiked lemonade and whatever the berry one was.
Heinz Chocolate Sponge Pudding in a can :'(
Bugles. They stopped selling them in Canada a couple years ago, and they were great for Christmas.
Altoids sours
A few years ago, Morningstar used to have a vegetarian rib patty. Once I realized its potential as a vegetarian McRib, I bought a pack. It was delicious. I bought another pack.
And then it was gone from shelves in every store that had it.
Yeah another morningstar rib fan!! Maybe we need to band together and petition to get these back
I just found their replacement in store. Check out my other comment below.
Those were so good!!!
Yes!! Riblets! I haven’t seen them anywhere in years and I miss them so much :(
They’re (kinda) back!! I haven’t tried them yet, but I will.
Yes thank you for finding this!! Now I have to hunt them down
In Germany we had a joghurt back in the 90s called “Frufo” (a portmanteau of Frucht (fruit) and UFO), which was basically just a strawberry joghurt in a flat, round package with a hole in the middle for a small toy. They even released pralines, which were filled with the same joghurt and were pure delish, especially cold out of the fridge on a hot summer day.
Everywhere I go, people my age miss that. It just needs the question “Hey, remember Frufo?” to send them to memory lane :)
For me it’s the miracoli pasta sets we could buy here when I was a kid. I have plenty fond memories of that stuff when I was little, but as it turns out they don’t make them any more because it’s more profitable to sell the Sauce alone… not to mention the other flavors like the cheese and herb farfalle pasta they used to have :(
But they actually do! Or I had luck and got a limited edition from kaufland just yesterday. You should go and check out if they are still available :)
😳 i shop at Kaufland frequently, I’ll definitely have a thorough look next time was sure they had only the sauce in jars.
Reese’s used to have an “Elvis” Reese’s peanut butter cup that had a layer of banana cream in them and they were FIRE and I think about them at least 5 times a year.
I wish I could go back to before I read this comment so I didn’t know what I was missing.
Red Baron breakfast pizzas. Biscuit crust slathered with gravy, sausage, and cheese. They were awesome.
