Have you ever found yourself desperately missing a brand or product that has been gone for a very long time? It might have been your favorite cereal from childhood, a beloved device, a favorite store, or a fashion trend that you never got to fully enjoy before it disappeared into the outdated goods. Whatever it may be, the idea of discontinued products that still hold a special place in our hearts is definitely interesting to look back at!
Anyway, recently someone in the Reddit online community posted a discussion about the things that have ceased production, but they miss them like hell. Feel free to share your own sentimental items in the comments area and explore 39 of the most popular ones collected for you!

Whenever I see "No user serviceable parts inside", I tend to regard it as a challenge. And as often as not, there are in fact "user serviceable parts inside". You just need to get the right kind of screwdriver to get it apart.

How many phones, tablets and computers go into landfills either because they have been designed to fail after a short period of time or we have been conditioned by marketing to replace them for the newer better model? I had a flip phone that I kept around as an emergency phone - I bought it in the mid 90s and it finally stopped working in 2022 - so that was probably at least 25 years that it functioned - how many phones made today would be built to last that long?

you still find them. The shoe brand I buy, lasts. Have one pair for 15 years, had to have the heels replaces 3 times and the sole once, but the shoe looks near new and very good quality men's dress shoe. They cost a bit more up front, but it is worth every penny given the quality and how it lasts
Jesha 2 years ago
The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles. But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet. This was the Captain Samuel Vimes "Boots" theory of socioeconomic unfairness.

You think that was the case in the 1990s? Nope, people then were also complaining at how things weren't as good as they used to be. It's an illusion, because each generation only sees those things that survived from the previous generations with no idea about the other 95% of stuff that fell apart.

While some of this might be correct there's also a bias toward long lasting quality products. Those are just the ones that survived. There has always been c**p that broke in a 2 month notice.

Gen X here (will be 44 in May) I'm disabled, getting next to nothing in SSD. My husband works at Walmart. The ONLY reason I own a house is that I inherited it when my mom was killed in June and she happened to have enough in her bank account (again lucky she put me on her account as a co-owner) to pay off the reverse mortgage. Otherwise, I would have lost the house. Unluckily, I am still trying to clean and empty so I can hopefully renovate/rebuild to make the house wheelchair accessible.

My landlord just put my rent up by $40 a week. My sons place went up by $80 a week. (he lives in the rough part of a major city and I live in a middle income part of a small regional city). Not sure how people are meant to get by anymore unless they have multiple streams of income.

Living in a little town in MT here. Small towns don't have jobs that pay high enough for the cheap houses. Most people who can afford property are renting it out at outrageous rates. You could make $25 an hr in Phoenix AZ, and here the same job is $12. Same company, same job, different state. You can't afford to have a house that isn't dilapidated on that.

There have been a bunch of articles written about the fact that housing affordability has changed in the last few decades. For example in Sydney the average income is currently six times higher than it was in 1981, but the average house price is now over sixteen times higher than it was in 1981. This isn’t an issue of normal indexing of prices.

Physical items for music, video games, movies, etc. (this isn't actually discontinued yet but with the current trend it wouldn't surprise me if everything just moves completely to streaming in ~10 years)
Too many things are moving to digital where you don't actually own anything. All you have is a license to use the digital media. The last time I bought a physical game disc, the only thing it did was install Origin on my computer and provide a license key to download the game. My current car has built in Spotify instead of a CD player.
Maybe I'm becoming "old man ranting about change" but I'm concerned about how everything's become a monthly subscription service where the companies control what you have access to and can remove things whenever they want.
Susie Elle 2 years ago
Yes, however buying digital instead of physical saves previous minerals and other resources that otherwise would've had to be mined and manufactured. It's a very small thing, but I like to think that it has at least this benefit.
Saint Tim the Godless 2 years ago
Except there is a real resource cost to build and power the infrastructure that holds all of this now-virtual media. It is NOT nearly as green as you might hope.

Physical is and will always be better. Dvds, blu rays and disc based video games. Streaming is awful in the long run. They can remove favorite movies and shows anytime so you can no longer view your favorites. Nothing really good to store a bunch of digital films and shows you buy. I say if they want to replace disc and dvds, to do something like Nintendo has done with switch games, putting them on a sd card like aspect. That can be even worthy for big games and save from having to install them on a console too.

Buy the DVD or Blu Ray with digital codes. Best of both worlds.

Yes because you can be denied access to the media if you stream. If you somehow break your service agreement guess what you can no longer access it. Plus we don't always have internet access.

I bought a physical copy of a game a few years ago to avoid using Steam (I am not going to use Steam), and it turned out that the disk contents were literally the product key for the Steam version, and the Steam installer.

Everything got raised by over a dollar an item! We lost 25% of our customers so they cut our allowed labor. Lost another 25% because of wait times for food. Fast food should be fast and cheap... they aren't allowing either.

I think this is more in relation to loss leaders. Often people would buy a $1 burger and the company would make no money on that. But since the person was in the shop they'd also buy a drink or chips or a sundae and they'd make their profit there.

The optimism of the 1990s

Same. I bought a couple of shirts at Kohl's when I visited my Mom in Phoenix. LOVED them. I'm pretty busty so I prefer loose fitting V-necks (otherwise I look like a refrigerator). Back home in San Diego about 6 months later & decided to get a few more. Same story as with the Levi's. Exact same brand, size & style, but obviously a different factory/manufacturer - they weren't as loose fitting, shorter and the sleeves weren't as long (I have a large Celtic armband tattoo that I don't always want showing). Oh - and they shrunk a bit when I washed them.

When I find something that works, I buy it in bulk. And keep buying it in bulk. That's because it disappears. Store changes brands. Brands change their quality or discontinue the style. How do you discontinue a plain black t-shirt? Why? There has never been a change in fashion so drastic or severe where you cannot work a plain black t-shirt into your outfit. So why?

Taco Bell has always been c**p food compared to a "real" Mexican restaurant but the positive used to be they were cheap food to stuff your face. Now I can buy the lunch special at a couple of local Mexican places for less money, I get table service and the food is hands down better.

I miss going into Walmart somewhere between Midnight and 3:am to shop. NO Long A** Lines, No Rude People - maybe a few freaks but otherwise a peaceful shopping trip. I miss that.

I miss the city being active 24 hours a day. It felt like everything was always on, open, moving. I absolutely loved coming home late and stopping into a grocery store at 3am to grab snacks. Now everything is keeping bankers hours and it sucks. Sure, you can plan ahead, but responsibility doesn't feel the same as spontaneous synchronicity. I feel sorry for whoever is working grave shift.

Had a friend that was an exterminator. He told me NEVER go to a 24/7 restaurant because they don’t ever shut down to exterminate pests.

Aladdin's castle. It was an arcade in the local mall. I was heart broken when they closed that place down. So many good memories as a kid in that place.

I miss Sears, Walden Books, B.Dalton books and the game store at the local mall, that sold board games and D&D products. I haven't been to the mall in years because there isn't anything there and the traffic to get there is such a hassle to deal with.

I loved Waldon Books. I always got a book and a colossal cookie. Best day ever!

Different name but the arcade in our mall has been suffering for years. It got smaller, changed to mostly higher profit games, moved to another (cheaper) location in the mall. Then it closed but currently we have another arcade place in the mall that serves some food sort of like an off brand chucky cheese kind of vibe. Walked past recently and it looked pretty dead. I get it though. Most kids can play amazing console games at home for close to free. And even the totally free games are better than what we had in arcades in the 70s.

Ecto Cooler. When it came back temporarily a few years ago, I got some but figured it would be crappy like most nostalgia-bait food and drink. It was glorious. So damn tasty.

It paired VERY well with rum and vodka of all price ranges. Excellent bouquet with tangy, yet subtle aftertaste note...

I really miss Doo Dads. They were a snack mix years ago and none of the ones now have the same taste.
Kathryn Baylis 2 years ago
I’ve tried revisiting a lot of foods from my youth that I hadn’t eaten in years——even decades. So many of them tasted horrible. Did they change the mix? Did they opt for cheap ingredients? Or have my taste buds changed? I don’t know. But some of the cookies left my mouth feeling like it was coated with lard, some of the candy tasted like wax or chemical dye, and the rest just seemed like really bad tasteless (or s****y tasting) versions of what used to be really tasty food.

Grilled Stuft Burrito from Taco Bell, and Pontiac cars

I dearly loved my Pontiac Grand Prix 02 GTP with factory Bose stereo system. Until the transmission went out, had it rebuilt but never the same. They just didn't make the transmissions durable enough for the Grand Prix and it was a common problem with them. It still makes me sad.

My first grilled stuffed burrito was at Taco Bell. I loved that creamy taco sauce they used and the intense browning they gave the tortilla. I ate it until it was gone.

I tried the cheese curls and I remember the taste being of sharp cheddar. I couldn't decide if they changed the formula or my taste buds are getting older. Either way, I won't be buying it again.
