Favorite Food that Time Forgot

[IndieMatty]

Food items/snacks and cereals that are now gone.

I have three:

Hostess Choco Bliss snackcakes
Kelloggs Bigg Mixx Cereal

and Kudos bars.

Thoughts?

[jakethebake]

Never heard of the first two. We still have Kudos bars here.

[kerssens]

I'm sure they still make them but Otter Pops were good....also scrambled egg pockets and Jack in the Box and chicken littles at KFC

[ThaSaltCracka]

whatever that weird soda Coke made for a little while, can't remember whats its called though. OK Cola?

[BusterStacks]

I have some:

* the hard gummy bears that may still be at sweet factory

* the old school Fun Fruits that didn't have a shape

* big league chew

* Good n Fruity

[BusterStacks]

For the record, I have a box of kudos and a case of otter pops right here. They still make them.

[IndieMatty]

Good to know about Kudos...

Choco Bliss was this awesome snackcake in the twinkie vein, but chocalate, with thick chocalte cream, chocalate Icing and Chocalate Chips on top. It was around in like 88-92 when I was still bringing lunch to school.

Big Mixx was a Kelloggs cereal that was pretty much a mix of all there brands coated in brown sugar. It was awesome.

The Western Wopper is another one I just remembered.

[Lumpy]

Hostess Chocodiles

You have to over 35 for this one
Danish Go-rounds. They were like Pop Tarts, only better!

i've never heard of anyone knowing this candy before. my gf in high school and I used to skip class to go to different stores around town and try to find them. mmmm so tasty.

[kerssens]

Big League Chew is still going strong and has been immortalized by Peter Griffin.

[IndieMatty]

I know they make Good And Plenty still...they don't make the fruit version?

Those were good.

[heavybody]

Ghirardelli Flicks, I used to love eating them and the tube they came in was cool.

[WEASEL45]

Ecto Cooler
Mc Sourdough Bacon Burger from McDonald

[TheRake]

Anyone remember Charleston Chew? I am not sure if they still make them or not. We used to buy them when we were kids because they were twice as big as every other candy bar on the market. Good value for $0.25

TheRake

[kerssens]

They make them in bite size pieces now...pretty good, especially if you freeze them.

[ThaSaltCracka]

you know, it took me a minute to remember what Kudos are, [censored] they still sell those.

That just seems wrong. The size was a major selling point IMO.

[mmbt0ne]

Surge. What the hell ever happened to that?

[kerssens]

There was a granola bar that rivaled Kudos...it came in a brown box/brown wrapping, had chocolate and peanut butter mixed in...My mom put them in my lunch in elementary school, I hated 'em but I was usually able to trade them for enough money to buy a cap'n crunch ice cream. Anybody remember the name?

[kerssens]

Dipps.....they were horrid

[M2d]

Flicks-someone already mentioned it, but I thought I'd give it another endorsement.

McDonalds FRIED apple pies. the baked ones just don't cut it.

[Ulysses]

Taco Bell Cinnamon Crispas.

[IndieMatty]

I think every Taco Bell item they discontinued could be on this list.

[beerbandit]

skittle brau

cheers

[beerbandit]

i wasnt gonna say anything because i wasnt sure

but i think that you are right

[Boris]

Oh my god.

[hoyaboy1]

I LOVE Good and Fruitys. Haven't seen them for a few years though.

[IndieMatty]

[ QUOTE ]
Oh my god.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes?

[GuyOnTilt]

Super Sour Dweebs and Clusters. I'm pretty sure they still make Clusters, but I haven't seen a grocery store that carries it in way too long, and I've definitely been looking.

Chili Cheese Burrito. WTF - how could they discontinue that.

and I'm going to vote Otter Pops for my wife's sake.

Sarge/images/graemlins/diamond.gif

[astroglide]

i believe you can still order them. it's just a frito burrito no frito right?

[IndieMatty]

One thing about the Bell is that each location can be totally different. They are not held to certain rules that other franchises are.

I haven't seen a Mexican Pizza in the tri-state area in years, but I know theres some taco bell, somewhere thats dishing them out.

Yea, you just nailed the exception to the "everything taco bell has discontinued" rule. The Mexican Pizza. Yuck! /images/graemlins/frown.gif

[IndieMatty]

Oh man, I f'n love those things...theres a reason why my friends refer to me as the "sh*tty food connouiseur".

On another taco bell note, I absolutely despise raw tomatos, I like every other type of of tomato product, but raw tomatos make me gag...and taco bell SUCKED at the no tomatos request, I used to have one across from mt apartment, I was the weenie who like watched them make it and would blurt out...

"WAIT WAIT, NO TOMATOS ON THOSE NACHOS!"

[/ QUOTE ]
Even if you like tomatoes, theirs are always kinda not quite ripe and they don't cut off the bad parts so they're kinda nasty.

[daryn]

they used to have a cereal that i really dug..

it was like, rice krispies treats cereal

mmmmmmmmm...

Negative. Double plus ungood.

[IndieMatty]

I have no shame in admitting, I have no idea what you are talking about.

[IndieMatty]

Now I do. I never saw that post. Sorry for polution. But umm..what else do you post here?

[tolbiny]

"Kelloggs Bigg Mixx Cereal"

Holy Sh*T. When this stuff was taken out of production they were selling it for 6 boxes for 5 bucks or something ridiculously cheap for cereal, and my mom bough ssomething like 40 boxes of it.
At first it was great, but i think the last couple of boxes just sat there untill it was thrown away.

[dr. klopek]

Nintendo cereal.

[Lazymeatball]

did anyone else call their hotline daily, 1-800-I FEEL OK ?

And Surge soda was the bastard child of Mountain Dew and cheap schnapps, so gross. What they should have kept producing was Citra, that stuff was delicious.

[daryn]

i definitely called that #

[Cubswin]

For the record, i think they still make good and fruity... at least i thought i saw them when i went to the store accross from my work to get my can of Monster this morning. The candy i have rediscovered the past few weeks are Sugar Babies. Ive gotten them every day for the last 2 weeks now... so good.

[kerssens]

Do they still make that flavored sugar that you scoop up with the stick made completely of sugar?

Ecto Cooler

[/ QUOTE ]

Last year, my roommate and I were reminiscing about Ecto Cooler and decided to do some research to see where we could find any. You can get 10 year old boxes of it on ebay if you want, but Hi-C still makes it, just under a different name, Shoutin' Orange Tangagreen.

[Cubswin]

i saw those not too long ago also.... i forget what they are called.

anyone remember Bottle Caps? I love those.... havnt found them in about a year.

You just reminded me of Pixie Stix - the first candy I ever heard of getting banned because kids were doing lines of it off their desks. Messed up.

Nothing like a paper straw full of sugar to teach kids how to do coke, I guess. Not like it mattered, the stuff was hell on getting kids wired no matter how they consumed it.

[/ QUOTE ]

This ends the discussion for great discontinued fast food. I can't even eat the Cinnamon Twist things they have now.

For fast food Taco Bell has a lot of great discontinued items. The old-style Enchirito with a black olive on it is another honorable mention. They're saving like 1/100 of a cent by not having that anymore, though, so it's a great business decision.

One of my old favorites was a cereal: C3PO's. I can't describe the taste, but it was my favorite cereal for the year or so it was out.

Oh, and actually, the Chicken Ceasar Pitas they had at Wendy's were awesome. I barely go there anymore.

Oh, that mozzarella/tomato sauce (I think it was called the Italian something) Chicken Sandwich at Burger King was pretty good as well. They bring that back for a couple weeks at a time, though.

Other foods I don't think have been mentioned yet:

-Yellow- Tootsie Pops
Switzer Licorice (I think Twizzler bought them out and canned the best type of licorice)
Striped Dainties (a cookie with chocolate stripes on it - no it doesn't taste the same as all the other ones that are the same basic idea)

~D

[daryn]

that mcdonalds chicken flatbread sandwich was pretty good.

[sfer]

Orange Creamsicle Ice Cream at Louie G's.

[astroglide]

caesars were good at jack in the box too. so were tacquitos. so were teriyaki bowls. etc.

[astroglide]

lik-m-aid is the name of the candy and yes it's still made

[IndieMatty]

Theres only one McDonalds I know of that still has the Sausage Breakfast Burritos, those things are great.

[oddjob]

the only one i can think of is whatchamacallit before they added carmel. i don't mind the carmel, but i think i like the old one better.

[heavybody]

Jack In The Box's....steak sandwich.

[kerssens]

Do they still make bagel dogs?

Edit: I just remembered that I got a box from Costco earlier this year.

[IndieMatty]

For what it was the McDonalds cheesesteak was actually pretty damn good.

[IndieMatty]

Miller Red Beer. The best major macro beer ever, (with High Life a close second). Lasted 2 years and was awesome.

I guess you never had a real cheesesteak...


Up until about a year ago, I would have said Jello Puddin' Pops. But they came back! The day I found out they were back was like one of the top 5 days of my life.

[IndieMatty]

I've had plenty of real philly cheese steaks. They are infinitely better. I prefaced with "for what it was".

Like saying, Domninos Deep Dish is pretty damn good, for what it is.

Ya know?

I audibly laughed at your pudding pops line.

Do you guys have the Lobster Rolls? I've heard about them, and people say they are actually really good.

Ok. I can respect that. It's just that being that I'm from the home of the cheesesteak, I have to make sure I do my part to keep its solid reputation. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

It's just like Taco Bell. It's great as long as you don't try to pretend it's actually Mexican food. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[IndieMatty]

I've come to a conclusion that mexican restaurants (all of them) are overrated for dinner purposes. Everyone loves the appetizers we all agree.. But I have never had a really amazing mexican dinner, always dissapointing.

[kerssens]

Mayor Adam West has been heavily quoted recently around here....mmmm, ahhhh, mmm...

[KungFuSandwich]

The best is the DairyQueen Frozen Hot Chocolate. Most stopped carrying them a long time ago but there was one near me that would still make it. Now that the Moolate came out they wont make it for me /images/graemlins/frown.gif

It was soo good. Its made with IceCream, Misty Ice, and HotFudge and then mixed with the blizzard machine.
It was so good, and it was cheap compared to other DQ desserts.
I dont know why they wont make it for me anymore, its not that they dont have the ingredients.
Next time any of you go to a dairyqueen try to convince them to make you one. I think youll like it.

Dang, now I really want one. I guess I will have to look into Mr.Misty and Blizzard machines on eBay.

[astroglide]

incase you weren't kidding, machines like that are probably a nightmare to maintain in terms of cleaning. i know the machines at baskin-robbins were.

This will depend on what part of the country you are in. If you live in a place where the choices in MX food consist of On the Border and Taco Bell, I'd agree. But I've had many fine Mexican food meals here in AZ. I'm sure the situation is similar in CA, NM &amp; TX.

I personally miss the McRib. Lips &amp; A-holes I'm sure, but a nice alternative to a burger when you don't have time for anything but fast food.
