21 Discontinued Foods From The Good Old Days That People Are Seriously Nostalgic For
Redditor u/Endy15388 asked, "What discontinued food do you wish they brought back?" Here's how people, including members of the BuzzFeed Community, responded (including one of my very own recently discontinued favorites).
1."Jello Pudding Pops, dammit."
2."Wonka Shock Tarts. I remember getting them all the time as a kid with my dad at gas stations. Now they have some other version of these, but they're just not the same."
3."McDonald's Snack Wraps live rent-free in my mind. I miss them every day."
4."Pop Tarts pastry swirls. They were toaster cheese and fruit danishes that were the goddamn best."
5."Kudos M&M candy bars!"
6."Taco Bell's caramel apple empanadas. I don't care if those are Cinnabon Cinna-Bites. Give me my caramel apple empanada. They were even better than the old McDonald's fried apple pies."
7."Keebler Pizzarias. This was an absolutely delicious snack chip."
8."Boston Chicken before it became Boston Market and before it was purchased by McDonald's and turned into trash food."
9."Pepsi Blue! It was the weirdest drink, but it was so good! I found one randomly in a vending machine a few years back, and it felt like finding a Twinkie during an apocalypse."
10."This is obscure, but Pepperidge Farm made salad croutons that were absolutely amazing. They were perfectly flavored and perfectly crunchy. Nothing else compares."
11."Oh, Taco Bell. Where is my beloved seven-layer burrito? It was a classic, on the menu for decades, and you go and get rid of it. For shame."
12."Butterfinger BB's, the ones with the Simpsons characters on the package."
13."Ritz Bits Peanut Butter Sandwiches. Look, I don't know exactly what's going on at Nabisco, but I suddenly can't find these anywhere. I've heard rumors that they're being discontinued, and I'd just like to know why anyone would do this to one of the world's greatest junk foods."
14."Altioids used to make these sour tangerine sucker candies. I would do some strange things to have these now."
15."Philadelphia cheesecake snack bars! Eating one of these was the best way to consume a ton of calories in a few bites."
16."Berry Berry Kix, the kind with the berry-shaped berries. Don't ask me why the shape makes a difference, but it does."
17."Rice Krispies Treats Cereal. They were literally just broken up Rice Krispie Treats but labeled 'cereal.' My brother and I would polish off a box in a few days."
18."Keebler Magic Middles cookies! More than once during the pandemic I thought to myself that what the world needed at that time was for these cookies to come back and serve as a brief respite in the bleakness."
19."Y’all remember the salad shakers from McDonalds? I was so sad when they were discontinued. I don’t even love salads much, but these were amazing!"
20."Snapple Elements. I think my collection of the bottles is still in my old room at my parent's house."
21."I used to LOVE Alphabits cereal, especially Marshmallow Alphabits. And then, one day it was gone and came back with no marshmallow option, and the cereal tasted like a weak cardboard version of its previous self."
