One inevitable truth in life is that time goes by, seasons change, and your favorite food items silently disappear from grocery store shelves, leaving you a little heartbroken and a lot confused. Chances are, you’re feeling nostalgic over at least one beloved funky and junky snack that is gone forever. Vanished as quickly as it appeared. Never to be heard from again. And, most of all, taken from you too soon.
Unfortunately, we can’t (yet!) time travel our way back to those carefree childhood days when we devoured sugary cereal and crunchy cheesy goodies like there’s no tomorrow. What we can do, however, is reminisce about the past while we hopefully wait for these memorable munchies to make a triumphant return to our kitchens and, consequently, our stomachs.

Deep fried McDonald’s apple pie. The one from the 1980’s to 1990’s. The one that was crispy and the temperature of molten plutonium inside. That s**t was the best.
You get it in Switzerland. I think you can get it pretty much anywhere in Europe.
Wait, u can still get this in most european mcdonalds and it still tastes the same as it did in 90´s or did I miss something?
Former McD employee here (wayback). When I worked there, the pies and the filet-o-fish patties were prepared exactly the same way: -Both were deep fried in the same tub of lard at the same time. Somehow, the flavors didn't mingle much. Both tasted good.
Surprises in the cereal boxes!
Not the "enter two codes inside on our website" bull. Actual, physical THINGS in a package floating somewhere in that box of Cheerios!
When I was a child (60's) it was a HUGE thing to see who got the toy - little things that you had to click together to make planes trains and cars and in comics the thunderclaps or even sticks that went on your bike wheel. What about the series of animal masks on the back on Cronflake packets?
They robbed me of my job. When I was a kid I knew I was going to be the inventor of new plastic toys in the cereal boxes.
Load More Replies...Omg this reminded me on something. In the 90’s it was plastic spoons in the cereal, that changed colour from white to red (white and yellow , blue green) when it touched the cold milk. And back to white when you cleaned it with warm water. I forgot about them! Why don’t they make them anymore? I loved those spoons!
My favorite was the floppy 45rpm records on the backs of cereal boxes.
I was going to say the same and it really played!
Load More Replies...Mom would buy my brother a box of cereal, and me a box of cereal every week. We would rip the boxes and bags open, and stick our filthy arms in our food, wiggling to get to the bottom of the box where the toy was. We would usually choose our cereal based on the toy.
I loved the cut-out records on the back.... Archies, Jackson 5, Bobby Sherman etc! I still have some of them!
That picture... When I was little, I bought the cereal that advertised this robot airplane, but the toy was missing. I wrote the company and told them, and they sent me two!
Old school Pizza Hut. RIP to the salad bar with that amazing creamy Italian dressing and being able to get pitchers of beer or Pepsi.
Omg yes. I LOVED that creamy Italian. I legit would want to go to Pizza Hut just for that. I thought I was just weird and the only one
I used to work at a Pizza Hut and I was in charge of the weekend prep for the salad bar. The procedure was supposed to be put fresh food in the bottom and what was left over from the day before on top to be finished off first each day. I had to throw everything out and start fresh every weekend because the weekday staff never properly tended the salad bar and there was always rotting food in the bottom of the containers. It's probably for the best that this is no more.
Yeah, when I worked at Wendy’s in the 90s, same. Gross
Load More Replies...The Pizza Hut beside my house just opened up a salad bar I'm so excited!!
When you would win a free coke from the plastic bottle cap. Those were the best. Or the mcdonalds monopoly game when you could win free fries or something.
It still runs every once in a while in the US, but your chances of winning anything now are remote.
Load More Replies...The OG Monopoly game ended up being a big scandal with cheating and mobsters and all kinds of drama. Check out the docuseries on hbo. So great.
The podcast Lie Cheat and Steal did an episode on it too!
Load More Replies...McDonald's monopoly is a scam. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/07/how-mcmillions-scam-rigged-the-mcdonalds-monopoly-game.html
It was "scammed" but the game itself isn't. You link to 2007
Load More Replies...Yep, it's on atm. Which reminds me I have a free Big Mac and two apple pies to redeem!
Load More Replies...It's in in the uk at the moment. Hubby and I had a meal each yesterday and won a bacon roll, a Big Mac, 6 nuggets and an apple pie (plus a couple of properties) - maybe it was fluke but the free food was up for grabs
McDonald's Monopoly was discontinued in the US due to all of the big prizes being stolen by people within McDonalds. Coke still has a points system for their caps.
Jello pudding pops. Without Cosby.
I think about these a lot more than I should. Even tried to make my own.
When I was little, we had the Tupperware popsicle kit and made pudding pops with it all the time.They aren't hard to make, they used have the recipe on the boxes of instant pudding (small adjustment to the milk quantity, I believe).
Load More Replies...I was just thinking about these the other day! I have a very specific tactile memory of trying to melt the sheet of ice on the outside to try to slide it off with my tongue so I could eat just the water-ice coating first and then the rest of the frozen pudding. Of course removing the ice shell just made the pudding melt faster, but that was part of the fun!
Unfortunately they couldn't be separated from Cosby. Shame too, these were very smooth. For anyone who has never tried them try a regular chocolate pop. It's flaky and grainy. These were nice and chocolatey but without that flaky-graininess.
Yeah, Cosby ruined these for me. Could never look at them the same way again.
Altoid Sours.
Loved those so much and still use the little tins to store random things
I'm surprised this isn't higher. They were so good. The only downside was the extremely sore mouth after eating half a tin at a time.
I've never seen the sours available in any other shape than the round. Altoids has other products in rectangular tins.
Load More Replies...That's where I keep my guitar picks. Lemon for thin picks, Tangerine for medium and something else for heavy. Funny thing: I bought a variety pack of guitar picks on Amazon and they came in a tin very similar (but inferior) to the altoids.
I'm still mourning the loss of the ginger Altoids!!! I still have a tin. I ate them all the time when I was pregnant and they completely battled my pregnancy pukes!! lol They were the best!
A candy company called Lofty Pursuits has recreated tangerine sours--they also have other sour flavors. Sold in a round tin too!
All day breakfast at McDonald's
No longer. They ended it during the pandemic in the US.
Load More Replies...No they ended it during the pandemic (at least in the US) according to a quick online query.
Load More Replies...We still have all day breakfest at a McDonald's here in Washington state. Maybe they just kept it at resturaunts that make a large percentage of their profits from breakfest. Would make sense.
*moves nextdoor to Haley and feasts on McDonald's breakfasts in the evening*
Load More Replies...So after reading the other comments it looks like this might be a franchise owner choice. Both of my local McDonald's places have all day breakfast. They'd lose customers to the nearby Subway and Jack in the Box if they didn't. All three brands offer all day breakfast here. Burger King doesn't though. I rarely eat at any of them though...
Load More Replies...Still exists in Canada. In fact, it just became a thing only a few years ago here.
I inquired online and found this answer: “No, McDonald's isn't bringing back its popular all-day breakfast next month. The fast-food giant ended the offering during the early days of pandemic lockdowns as part of a broader scheme to simplify service. Bloated menus can overwhelm customers, slow down kitchen operations and lead to longer drive-thru lines.Sep 2, 2022”
Load More Replies...Utah has not had all-day b-fast in a hot minute. I really don't care though, their b-fast sandwiches are nasty. Burger King has the better sandwich by far
The Philadephia Cheesecake Bars. I loved the strawberry ones, I can't remember if there were other flavors.
Yes!!! These were so amazing! We always had several boxes in the fridge when I was a kid.
Right! I literally just tried to look up if there was anything similar nearby and there's not😭
Load More Replies...They also had chocolate cheesecake ones! They were the bomb diggity!
Load More Replies...I used to BEG my mom for these every time we went grocery shopping!
If I remember right, there were 🍓, 🍒and 🫐 and I wish they would bring them back
I don’t know what this is - I’m assuming it’s American? - but I WANT ONE!!
My husband puts Philadelphia and jam on digestive biscuits, he would love these

Apple empanadas from Taco Bell
Fortunately I live in South AZ now and can get tasty fried empanadas all over the place now. 🤤
Great. Do I stay near Haley for all day McDonald's breakfast, or do I move near Cassie for empanadas? I can't afford two places to live!
Load More Replies...Aaahhh! Appelflappen! Available in every bakery & almost every supermarket here in the Netherlands
Yes yes yes yes!! Best thing at TB, even though I burned my mouth every time!
My taco bell still has apple empanadas? i juust got one from them like 3 days ago...
Jelly jar juice glasses. In the 1980s and maybe early 90s, my family acquired a few sets: dinosaurs, and Tom and Jerry. They were the perfect size for kids to use and the different designs helped us keep track of whose were whose. (Mine was the pterodactyl.) I don't know why they stopped being made. Seems like Pokémon and Star Wars would be great co-branding opportunities. Edit: Apparently I'm not the only one. Let's start a letter writing campaign to Welch's!
Had a bunch of the Pokemon ones. The problem is that the process involved lead paints that are banned now...
Really? Lead paint? I honestly wasn't aware of that! But I remember those glasses too (though mostly mustard ones) being available in Germany. And somehow it stopped without me noticing. And now I wonder from time to time where all those glasses and this delightful idea had gone. Sad to know the truth/facts behind the discontinuing.
Load More Replies...I love that! I have a Winnie the Pooh and 1 from the Endangered Species Collection.
Load More Replies...I have a few of these that I have picked up at flea markets and I still use them when I just need a small drink of water.
I bought 3 Tom and Jerrys at a thrift store, 2 Looney Tunes glasses and a Wendy the good witch glass at a yard sale. Only 1 glass has the Welch's lid. I don't live too far from Welch's. Love their Concord Grape jelly!
Listerine mouth strips
These aren't even discontinued. Who even made this list? I literally have a pack of these in my pocket and I already used one earlier today. I mean, really? Why even try?
You do realise that there are different countries than the one that you live in, no? Might be discontinued in some?
Load More Replies...Might be a regional thing? They're definitely available here; Mr Other Guest bought some a couple weeks ago.
Pretty sure that's the stack of strips all melted together
Load More Replies...These were discontinued? I'm certain I've seen similar things still stocked.
Quick double check, these are indeed still made and in stock here in the US right now.
Load More Replies...Loved these, but haven’t seen them in the UK for a very long time now.
Those Lifesavers cream lollipops. The orange and cream one was so good.
You can still find them on Amazon! My husband just bought a couple bags of the strawberry and cream! Cost an arm and a leg but the nostalgia is worth it.
Load More Replies...You can still get these in stores, just not as common as they were. I LOVE them.
I was recently telling my daughter about these and even Google image searched them a couple of nights ago. I loved all the flavors, but the blueberry was my favorite.
McDonald’s Snack Wraps. I could eat like 4 in a single sitting.
They are but are not the smaller value menu kind. (At least where I live)
Load More Replies...They still exist but in a different form. They used to be a smaller value menu kind. (At least where I live)

The old Wendy’s fries from the 90s
I think they switched to vegetable oil from beef tallow to fry the fries. Beef tallow is like gorilla glue for your circulation, but it gave the fries that "just right" crunch and pop that some people were willing to trade years of their life for.
I heard recently the vegetable oil has been found to be just as bad in a different way so it matters not how it's fried. Honestly, they're french fries and not healthy carrots. You know what you are getting and if it gets to taste better, then bring on the beef.
Load More Replies...EVERYTHING at Wendy's got worse after Dave passed away. I wish another ff joint would revive the "Where's the beef" slogan just to dunk on Wendy's and how bad they are now. The buns are enormous, dense, and stale.
If you order your sandwich plain, or ask for a topping be removed, you get the regular burger. I refuse to eat at Wendy's now.
Load More Replies...I am not sure what they did, but I get sick every time I eat at Wendy's. So now, I don't eat at Wendy's.
No one wants them fried in lard anymore, which is a shame. They tasted so much better and we're much more filling.
Oh my f*****g hell..! Does ANYONE at all remember Wendy's Bread sticks in the 90's!?!? I remember a handful of early childhood years where we would get $0.50 bread sticks that would come in a foil sleeve and they were delicious! Omg, one time I had a leftover bread stick I wanted to heat up and didn't know foil couldn't go in the microwave, I learned something new that day 😅
Butterfinger. It isn’t discontinued but I wish Ferrero would go back to the original Nestle recipe. It tastes like I dropped a butterfinger in a pile of sawdust and let it sit there until it expired and then ate it. No similar product can really compare to the original Butterfinger.
You'll be hard pressed to find a multinational company that isn't.
Load More Replies...Candy bars in general have declined in taste. Reese’s Cups we’re incredible in the 1980s
Try the reeses miniatures, if you have not already. They have a better peanut butter to chocolate ratio. You are right about the regular size reeses. There is something off, but I gave up on them before I could figure out what it is.
Load More Replies...Hell yeah! Butterfingers were the best, but they just ain’t the same nowadays ☹️
I don't like them anymore, although it used to be my favorite. Until they changed the recipe and it was like gnawing on tree bark
Most of what we have now are cheap imitations of the original. Do they think we don't notice?
Chi Chi’s! I don’t know what was better…the queso dip, the fajitas, or the fried ice cream.
Funny...it's a Mexican restaurant and Chi Chi's in Mexican (Nahuatl) means "breasts". Let's not forget the great US restaurant called Hooters.
My MIL was friends with the original "Chi-Chi" in Minnesota. The owner who started the chain named it after his wife, who's nickname was Chi-Chi.
Load More Replies...Why . . . Why . . . Why . . . did they go away?!?!?! We used to travel for two hours to eat there!!!
I wish Coke would stop fuggin around with dream-flavored cola and just bring Ecto Cooler back again.
***FOR GOOD*** this time, Coke.
What? The Coke Creations are great, Starlight was the best thing to happen. Flavoured Coke needs more love.
I love hi-c holy s**t gobble stoppers I haven’t had those in years
Best damn drink to come out of coke. They need to stop tuggin at their balls with all those nasty limited time flavors and do the world a favor and bring this back!
What is dream flavored cola? My kids keep asking me to buy it but I won't because dream is not a flavor and I don't know what it is.
Taco Bell's Grilled Stuffed Burrito. I have no idea why they discontinued it. It was the only thing on the menu I would order. Nothing else comes close.
The chili cheese burrito and the taco salads in the edible shell bowls were phenomenal, too!
It’s not on the menu but you can still order chili cheese burritos
Load More Replies...My husband miss there one chicken burrito it was the only thing he would eat. Now he eats the chipotle chicken burrito he like them. But he really loved the ones before.
Seven layer burritos and taco salad are both gone. I don't stop there any more. New menu sucks.
you can still get that, but it's just smaller now.
Load More Replies...This is obscure, but Pepperidge Farm made salad croutons that were absolutely amazing. Perfectly flavored. Perfectly crunchy. Nothing else compares.
Take your damn upvote! EDIT - who else read that in the voice "Peppehridge fahms remembahs..."
Load More Replies...Bring back croutons that are small enough to chew without dislocating your jaw or lacerating the roof of your mouth.
These were the only croutons I would buy - they were small, well seasoned, tasty enough to eat straight out of the can. Have not been able to find them for a very long time. I dislike those oversized, overcooked croutons that are available now.
I once got a wild rice stuffing mix from Pepperidge farm. Never found another. No recipe compares to it.
Enchiritos from Taco Bell.
They brought them back for a limited time 11/17 - 11/30.
Load More Replies...They are bringing this back too. Online vote for this or the double decker taco.
I miss the simple beef meximelt. How hard is it to put the pico de gallo cheese and meat on the tortilla and pop in the steamer? So simple.
If you have the Taco Bell app, they're running a poll on whether to bring back the Double Decker Taco or the Enchirito. You can vote once per day (my husband talked me into voting Enchirito along with him, I don't personally get that worked up about either option).
They're actually talking about bringing this back, but you have to vote for it via the app
I just read that they're coming back for a limited time from November 17 through 30.
I have the Taco bell app and they've been letting us vote on what to bring back. I've voted for Enchirito every day now. Voting closed yesterday and they are supposed to announce today which item is coming back. As of yesterday (Oct. 6,22) enchirito's where in the lead!!!
Update--THE ENCHIRITO IS COMING BACK!!!!!!

Orville Redenbachers microwave caramel corn.
I liked a flavour called Santa Fe, I had just discovered boxes of microwaveable at a convenience store....then they were gone, discontinued the flavour.
This, but the pour over cheddar popcorn. Still my favorite microwavable popcorn.
Choco tacos
I think they brought those back shortly after the decision was made to discontinue them because said decision received a LOT of backlash. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Currently no but there are reports that they are looking at bringing it back. We will see.
Load More Replies...The Klondike Choco Taco has unfortunately been discontinued in both 1ct and 4ct pack sizes. Over the past 2 years, we have experienced an unprecedented spike in demand across our portfolio and have had to make very tough decisions to ensure availability of our full portfolio nationwide. A necessary but unfortunate part of this process is that we sometimes must discontinue products, even a beloved item like Choco Taco. We know this may be very disappointing. We hope you’ll try our other delicious
That's since been recanted and they are bringing it back (they have stated such since August). To be frank, because why not, frank seems awesome, it was a PR stunt from the word go. Choco Tacos have always sold well for them, they were never really going to discontinue them. Halting production for a while under the guise of a weird PR stunt was the perfect plan. It worked too. The message you shared is what they said when they first announced the "discontinuation", it's changed since then.
Load More Replies...Chaco Taco's have been back for quite some time. They're not as good as they were though
I ate one a couple of days ago..... They still sell them in a store that i know here in Texas
I’m not really into Dr. Pepper, but the Berries & Cream Dr. Pepper had a chokehold on me that no other soda has ever had.
Also smoothie skittles, and lime skittles.
Skittles changed the green back to lime from apple in March of this year. It made me happy!
Really? I bought a bad a month or two ago and it was still apple
Load More Replies...I love you got a downvote, like someone was mad you had them and they didnt haha. I'll up you;)

Watermelon Laffy Taffy with the candy seeds in them
Didn't air heads have seeds too? They were my favorite. Or my childhood is a lie and I used to like Laffy taffy.
No air heads never had them, and trust me I'm a air head and lady taffy freak lmao
Load More Replies...Remember the cherry ones with blue and pink sugar crystals in them?? The best candy ever!!!
Omg yasssss! In Utah we have the watermelon Laffy Taffy but they no longer have the seeds. They just don't taste the same 🥺
This is the 3rd item on here that I can go buy today. Maybe Kansas is special? 😆😆 Yeah ok not so much
Crystal Pepsi
We can still get this. A couple times a year, they bring it back for a few months. Not everywhere sells them though. I've never seen them at grocery stores, only convenience stores and gas station stores.
It's regular Pepsi but without the carmel coloring. It was awesome to have a soda other than Sprite or 7up. Was so sad when they stopped carrying it here. The carmel coloring and I don't always mingle well so I have to limit my intake-along with a lot of other food colors that aren't natural. 😢
Load More Replies...Tried it several times. I can best describe it as: Yeah, that's ok. Of all the sodas available this is one of them.
The US needs to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of this in December. They let Canada do it for the Summer, it would be criminal to shun the United States where it originated. Bring it back at least for that.
A few years ago Crystal Pepsi was briefly available at the grocery. So I got a bottle & my spouse & I did a blind taste test between it and regular Pepsi and we could not tell the difference. They taste the same.
Saw some in Canada several years back.....thought it still existed there regularly.
Kudos. The quaker ones aren't even close to as good.
Rice Krispie Treats Cereal. It was Rice Krispie treats AS CEREAL. It was too good for this world. I miss it.
My sister makes rice krispie treats with cinnamon chips mixed in and they are FABULOUS!
Making rice crispy treats with peanut butter is next level.
Load More Replies...That pic is not the original rice krispies treats cereal. It came in a beautiful blue box and there was no cereal that could compare to it. I miss it.
I can’t believe something like this has been sold as a breakfest for kids!
The 2nd or 3rd time I ate this cereal as a kid I accidentally used milk that had gone over. Never could eat it again lol
HERSHEY’S CHOCOLATE MILK POWDER!!! The flavor and the texture of the powder were like no other chocolate milk in the history of mankind. It was so delicious that our family’s main method of consuming it was to barely dip a shallow spoonful of the powder into milk, scoop up the barely dissolved milky powder, and eat it straight. Hershey's discontinued it in favor of their chocolate syrup, which was the worst decision ever made by a corporation. I would do anything to get it back.
Now that I'm living in the UK, where Cadbury is the major chocolate brand, I really miss Hershey's Special Dark syrup. Made great chocolate milk, and great hot chocolate.
This is like the 7th thing on this list that is still available. Wtf? Thought we were talking about things discontinued decades ago. Guess I was mistaken 🤔
Oreo cakesters. That s**t was delicious
I bought some! Keep looking you'll find them. Blew my boys minds.
Load More Replies...I saw those yesterday at Walmart. I was surprised to see them on the shelf.
They did bring these back, but they aren't quite the same as they used to be.
Maybe it depends on the region you're in. I've looked in several grocery stores to no avail. Kroger, Target, Publix, Wal-Mart, nada.
P.B. Crisps. I cannot wrap my head around why they won’t bring them back. It would be such a home run. I just want some P.B. Crisps!
I heard they discontinued them because they caused a**l leakage, not joking.
Old school Little Caesars pizza. The long cardboard pizza tray wrapped in paper. When you'd tear it open, the Little Ceasars' goodness smell filled the room. Oh the '90s, how I miss you.
And their Crazy Bread! I tried the new Little Caesars pizza once and it tastes like cardboard. Never again.
Flintstones Push-Up Pops
Orbitz drink from the late 90’s with the gelatinous balls floating in it. Middle school me loved that crap.
Dunkaroos. Like the origional dunkaroos.
I did too. I was contemplating if my kids would like them. Sadly, pretty sure with sensory issues, they would not.
Load More Replies...Emphasis on the original. I tried the new ones and they don't hit like they did as a kid. Maybe it's just because my taste buds changed.
Teddy grahams with birthday cake frosting is pretty close. Obviously not exactly the same thing but it is as close to the original I've ever had.
I got some dunkaroos recently, and it wasn't the same, the flavor wasn't there
Load More Replies...Marathon candy bars. They were a very chewy caramel lattice covered in milk chocolate. My favorite candy bar as a kid. Also, I know about Curly Whirlys, but they just aren't as good. Their caramel is too soft.

Baskin Robbins - Chocolate Mousse Royale ice cream
Thrifty's ice cream. Despite having scooped tons of it in my years working there, it was outstanding.
7up Gold. I must have been in a test market because many people I talk to have never heard of it. It had a cinnamon-cardamom and maybe ginger flavor? But it had a bit of a bite to it rather than being sweet like ginger ale. I LOVED it. Must have been the late 1980s? U still miss it.
Did you live in Colorado Springs in the 80s? I dif. It was a test market area. There were several things I tried and love but they never hit the general market.
I. FREAKING. LOVED. THIS! When they first rolled it out, I was getting a soda machine in the business. The driver told me about it and gave me one to try. That stuff went into the biggest dispenser rack and I ran out constantly. Picture Captain Morgan without the rum and you're most of the way there.
Altoids Tangerine Sours

Only a few Brits, most likely northern will understand this one. Mather’s Black Beer diluted with lemonade (preferably Shaw’s yellow lemonade) WAS Christmas to me. Stopped brewing it because some posh Tory chancellor twit decided to reclassify it as a liqueur so incurring extra duty/VAT or whatever. Made it too unprofitable to brew. I still despise you George Osborne for ruining Christmas forevermore. Winston Churchill insisted on black beer not being rationed during WWII because of its high vitamin C content. Captain Cook gave it to his ships crew and even set up a brewery in New Zealand.
Sounds vile but I love a good story. Have a fake Internet point. So, was Mather's Black Beer like a stout or a porter?

If they every bring back PB Crisps, you gotta get some. They are sweet and salty and crunchy. They might just be perfect lil poppables. I must have eaten 150lbs during pregnancy.

Hershey’s chocolate reportedly contains buytric acid which is found in sour yogurts, aged hard cheeses like Parmesan and vomit. It creates a tanginess that can remind people of something spoiled. 🤢.

Also, Taco Bell chili cheese burritos, which were originally named the Chilito until Taco Bell figured out that's Spanish slang for a penis.

Only a few Brits, most likely northern will understand this one. Mather’s Black Beer diluted with lemonade (preferably Shaw’s yellow lemonade) WAS Christmas to me. Stopped brewing it because some posh Tory chancellor twit decided to reclassify it as a liqueur so incurring extra duty/VAT or whatever. Made it too unprofitable to brew. I still despise you George Osborne for ruining Christmas forevermore. Winston Churchill insisted on black beer not being rationed during WWII because of its high vitamin C content. Captain Cook gave it to his ships crew and even set up a brewery in New Zealand.
Sounds vile but I love a good story. Have a fake Internet point. So, was Mather's Black Beer like a stout or a porter?
