Carnation Breakfast Bars.
Unpackaged produce at the supermarket. I waste so much food because I can’t use a whole package before it goes bad.
The McDonald's deep fried apple pies that would burn your mouth. They were so greasy and tasty.
Large salad bars 😭 all of the ones near me never re opened after lock down. whole foods is the only one but it’s sooo expensive.
I miss the opportunity to buy small sedans and compact cars. I know there are still some around, but there used to be a lot more choices.
Fresh'n Up Bubble gum, with the gel in the middle.
I don't know if it's disconned, but I LOVED Dr Oetker's brand pizza, esp the mozzarella one. Can't find it anywhere now!
Archway rocky road cookies. Soaked in Kahlúa and covered in whipped cream, yes ma'am!!!
Hydrox cookies were the superior chocolate sandwich cookie.
Alpha-Bits cereal. My childhood in a box. They brought it back at one point but it wasn’t the same.
Crabtree & Evelyn. Particularly their Gardeners hand lotion, Citron body wash, and Himalaya Blue cologne.
Peanut Butter Twix. I was known as the Peanut Butter Twix lady at 2 local gas stations and a 3rd about 45 minutes away. I’m not proud of that because imagine how many you have to buy to earn a whole nickname for it! I was having them order cases just for me 💀.
Laura Secord pudding. Lifesavers in the Christmas book with all the different flavours. Cherry Blossoms .
Uno candy bar, originally made by a company called “Annabelle Candy Co.” Has a truffle like texture and almonds….
Long time ago, when the Earth was young, there were microwave cakes. And they were pretty good. Just the cake mix, in a microwave tray and frosting. Add some water, nuke for 2 minutes. Done.
Neutrogena Pore Refining Toner and Exfoliating Cleanser. Nothing else I've tried is as good.
Sunlight Dish Soap
If they had of told me they were going to do that, I would have bought a pallet of the stuff.
Lemon cream cake at Olive Garden. I seriously do not know what Olive Garden was thinking by discontinuing that. It's the worst move since the Red Sox traded Babe Ruth to the Yankees.
