Interview
There are moments in your life when the stars align and you accidentally stumble on a truly phenomenal product. Maybe it’s a delicious food item, a beauty product, or a piece of technology that is so good that it raises your standards forever. And not to sound overly dramatic, but how do you go on when it’s no longer available?
Upset consumers took to an online thread to vent about the best things they bought that later got discontinued. And it still pains them to remember. Choco tacos, headphone jacks in phones, and cars with CD players are just the tip of the iceberg. Scroll down to read about all the things that people miss the most!
Meanwhile, Bored Panda also reached out to the author of the thread, u/rjkersten1, for their thoughts on the topic. You'll find their insights below!

*Business raises minimum wage and raises prices. No one buys anything. Rinse, repeat.* At some point, even the stupidest CEO is going to realize that he has to take a hit on his mega-millions compensation, raise minimum wage to retain employees and lower prices to retain customers. But with the stupidest CEOs in history here in the US, that will be some time far in the future.

This highly depends on where you live, what your shopping habits are and who you vote for. E.g. "smart shopping" of heaps of cheap c**p from China caused loss of well paid work in "First World" countries. Buying or using services from billionaires and at the same time complaining about their fortune is shooting yourself in the foot. Keeping the parties in charge who are a tad more interested in keeping the country stable and run it as a home, by voting for these parties might cause higher taxes and fees, but keeps the comfort

There’s a paradox at work here. Clearly, many consumers love some products so much that they have a visceral emotional reaction when they get discontinued. And yet, these items obviously don’t sell enough to warrant their continued production. It creates this disconnect between consumers and companies, where the latter don’t seem to take into account what the former want.
Some items, like beauty products, might get discontinued due to the scale of production or because of changes in the legality of manufacturers using certain ingredients.
“They are huge brands, and they can afford to just throw stuff out there. They can’t worry about people wanting a certain shade,” Daniel Adler, president and CEO of BuyMeBeauty explained to HuffPost.
Sometimes, however, there are very clear business strategies behind discontinuations.

I was selected for their test market before they were sold in the stores. Someone came to the door and asked if I'd like a free box of a new product. I said sure and they said they'd return and I could order more at such and such a price. When they came back I ordered six boxes. They said they weren't taking orders and gave me two free boxes. They were exceptional with that super thin icy coating trapping that unbelievably rich and creamy chocolate pudding inside. I think these are my most missed discontinued item ever!

The original green Herbal Essence shampoo from the 70s.

That stuff was so wildly popular. I can remember walking into class on a Monday morning and the whole place smelled like Herbal Essence because everyone had freshly washed hair.

In some cases, companies go for what’s known as planned obsolescence, which is bound to anger quite a few consumers. This is especially prevalent in the technology and fashion industries.
Essentially, according to Investopedia, it’s a strategy where a business ensures that a product becomes outdated or useless within a certain time period. In a nutshell, this drives demand because consumers look to replace what no longer works (well).
“While planned obsolescence can help companies control costs and drive demand, it often faces consumer backlash if the new versions offer minimal improvements over previous models,” Investopedia states. It adds that this practice can harm brand reputation and consumer satisfaction.

We were curious about what inspired the author to start the online thread about discontinued items, and u/rjkersten1 was kind enough to share their thoughts with us.
"I think for inspiration, I decided to ask the question because I went to a coffee shop to order a Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, but they said they were done serving that until next Autumn," they said.
"So, while not permanently discontinued, it got me thinking about discontinued items," u/rjkersten1 told Bored Panda.

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.
Forrest Hobbs 3 weeks ago
Plenty of moderately small cars here in the UK - although when you see a proper original Austin Mini next to any modern car, even the small ones, you realise that they've all got a lot bigger. That's in part because they have to be bigger to provide modern crash protection - crumple zones in front of a robust passenger cell (or whatever they call it) and so on.

Ever since the "cash for clunkers" "deal" the US government ran several years back, cheap older cars are very hard to find. Imagine that, seems like it was done on purpose.
Forrest Hobbs 3 weeks ago (edited)
howdylee: yes, they wanted to get rid of the fuel-inefficient, highly polluting, and dangerous old cars. Those were the good reasons. The other reason was to boost the profits of the auto industry who were paying the politicians... Sorry, sorry, surely they couldn't have been that venal and corrupt, the real reason must have been to "protect the jobs of American auto workers". 🤨🤣 Dangerous? Yes, dangerous for two reasons: one, because they lacked modern safety features; two, because they were old and poorly maintained.

Meanwhile, we also wanted to get the redditor's thoughts on what ordinary consumers could potentially do to help bring back discontinued items. From their perspective, it's best to be direct about your wants.
"I think consumers could just ask the business about it. If enough people ask, they might realize how popular demand there is for it," they said.
What are some awesome products that you loved that eventually got discontinued? Do you know why this happened? Realistically speaking, what could you do to convince businesses to bring them back? Do you think any of the things you enjoy right now are at risk of being discontinued in the near future? Let us know!

But no. A half teaspoon of refried beans and three shreds of cheese was their idea for the tostada at double the price they used to be. And then they wonder why no one bought them. Dumb asses.

I used to love their tostadas.. I stopped eating at Taco Bell after they got rid of them, now I get crunchy snack tacos at Del Taco. I don't like Taco Bells meat, so I started eating at Del Taco, which has superior meat and they're still fairly cheap, the snack taco is only $1.29 each, and on Tuesdays you can get 3 for $2.99 or something..

Coca-Cola Life. I loved the natural sugar in those green cans!

Didn't last long in Ireland, but I didn't know about other countries. Much better than the zero or diet versions. So now it's fat Coke all the way!

Cheez-It —— Twisterz.
My 11 yr old self would eat them by the box. The ‘hot wings and cheesy blue’ flavor to be precise. I’m 36 now and still not over it. I still scan the cheez it section in stores, secretly hoping I’ll come across them again.

Burple. Those orange expandable jugs were so cool! Wish I had like 6-7 of them.

Chef Boyardee box spagetti dinner. It contained the spagetti, sauce, and a parmasen cheese pack. It was the long rectangular box. Back in the 80s. Gosh, I loved that stuff.

Golden Grain made a boxed macaroni and cheese. All you did was add the hot water and then stir in the cheese. It was awesome. So of course it's discontinued.

Meh, all American stuff. Need a list for the other side of the ocean. Let's start with Walnut Whip, Creme Egg (not that mess that's pretending to be it), Little Chef/Happy Eater (like they were in the 80s), and Quattro.

If I like something, they stop making it. That goes for clothes, shoes, and accessories, too. Now if I really fall in love with a clothing item, I buy an extra one for when the first one wears out.

A whole lotta stuff I've never seen nor heard of anyway, and another load of stuff that does exist outside of America. Sad really.

Computers having built-in CD drives. I had to buy an external one to plug into my new laptop. The Pizza Hut I remember so fondly from my childhood.

McDonald's Cheddar Melt burger. Burger, fried onions and cheddar on a rye bun! They keep bringing back the McRib... bring the Cheddar Melt back! And Campbell's Pepper Pot soup. Campbell's had so many good soups but now it's like 120 versions of chicken soup. Chicken and noodles, stars, alphabets, star wars, barley you name it and they made chicken soup out of it. Kaboom cereal. The only sugar b**b cereal I really liked! Agree shampoo. Or any shampoo for oily hair like mine. Now it's just normal or dry hair. (No, I will not use Dawn dish soap! LOL!) I find that whenever I REALLY like something, there are corporate gremlins that make it disappear.

It seems that the rest of us just ring-fenced the US and let most of these tasteless things die a natural death! We still have Dark Chocolate Kit-Kats and things but so much of the stuff in this list is just for the US market!
