So I've been pining for the 'Spicy Indian Masala' flavour of Kettle chips for years, but sadly I don't think they'll ever be returning. Just wondering if anyone else has been crushed when a favourite product of theirs was taken off the shelves?

I don't know if they were discontinued, but it has been years since I've seen any Bonkers candy. Does anyone else remember those? I used to buy those from the school vending machine almost daily. I haven't seen them in like 15 years.

I havent seen the crunchy M&Ms for a few years now. I always thought they could be better but still loved them anyway.

The crispy M&Ms? Or just Peanut ones? Because peanut is (obviously) still around, and I'm still (obviously) in love with them.

I have always contended that Smuckers Jelly Beans were (are?) the best, and I would look forward to them every Easter. Unfortunately, I haven't seen them in the stores for years. I think Brachs may be selling them under a different brand now, so I'll try looking out for Orchard Fruit jelly beans in the spring. Fingers crossed.

Oompa Loompas. They were a candy similar to Skittles, but tasted 1000x better.

Don't remember the name, but it was Jones Soda Natural juices or something, and it was Cherry flavor. For a while it was only available during the summer, But I haven't seen it in a few years.
I thought they stopped making those Flaming Hot Cheeto's w/Lime, but recently I saw some for sale...sooooo gooood.

Mountain Dew LiveWire- ESPECIALLY as a Slurpee flavour at 7-11. Yes, it does return each year, but seems to be in limited markets.

SPICY INDY WHOPPERS at BK.
BACON MUSHROOM MELT at Wendys.
SPICY BACONATOR at Wendys.
I love these special burgers they roll out but they NEVER KEEP THEM and it pisses me off so much. I only had 2 mushroom melts, 2 indy whoppers, and like two dozen spicy baconators (I was prepared for these) before they took them away and they were so much better than their normal burgers.. *cry

If they kept them then those would be their normal burgers and you'd want them to keep something else around longer.
Does anybody remember those Shaq double decker tacos?

McDonald's Pizza (I know I can get Pizza on every block but man I loved McD's pizza back in the day)
Cherry Coke (Can't find this in Canada for the life of me! I get it every time I go to the States though - would drink it ALL the time)
McCain Pizza Premiere (They changed the packaging/taste a couple years ago...maybe longer but I used to LIVE on this damn frozen pizza. Back when it came in the plastic flimsy container not the box. One of the saddest things to happen in my life...kinda)

McDonald's did a pizza?I only ever saw it in Canadia ... and it wasn't great. On par with a Little Caesar, which is fine if all you want is cheese and pepperoni.
And regarding Cherry Coke, there is a cafe nearby that has a funky soda machine where you can add a shot of vanilla, lemon, or cherry to any of the products dispensed. I like Sprite with an extra shot of lemon, or diet coke with vanilla and lemon :)

Sure do.

That reminds me, the Diet Coke with lemon and Diet Coke with lime editions were great. And Vanilla Coke is awesome, but increasingly hard to find.

Closest I have found in US, is "French Sparkling Lemonade" at Trader Joe's.
In the US they have an energy drink available in some markets based on Solo called Coolah. I believe it has just been introduced in Australia as Solo Strong.

So I'm a creature of habit and I have buying the same pair of sneakers for an extensive period of time...and they have been discontinued. It's terrible. I have been scouring the internets and NYC to track down the remaining pairs to stock up. It's nothing fancy just a solid pair of sneakers form New Balance.

I really liked Solo and it's flavored variations.
Wow, on the other news of there being a Solo energy drink. I've had that French Sparkling Soda (wait.... maybe one of us is mistaken, most likely me thinking of two different things - but isn't it Italian soda?) which is close, but not that close. "Squash" in general, isn't very common in US.

I have purple NB's that I don't want to wear because I think they are so rare.

Love NB's. If they seriously discontinued the model, maybe switch to another NB model that feels similar...unless you care about looks.

It amazes me really - you can get lemonade everywhere, but its never carbonated. Mello Yello is as close as you find to a "lemon soda", and Sprite/SevenUp/Mist is a "lemon-lime soda", but its not a "lemon squash".

From the childhood years:
I miss Strawberry Honeycombs Cereal.. my brother and sister don't even remember it. When it was my turn to pick the cereal (we rotated the chooser of the cereal) I fell in love w/this pink "strawberry" version of the Honeycombs cereal. Then one day I realized it was no where to be found and I think about it every time I walk down the cereal aisle.

Powerpuff girls cereal I hear was really good. I never had it but my brother swears by it.
A product that I can't find anymore is a cologne, Candies. Oh man it smelled awesome but I haven't seen it in a long time. I saw a duan reed that had 3 boxes on the shelves a couple of months ago. I bought all three. The boxes were really dusty and looked to be sitting in some warehouse for a while. when ever I am in a pharmacy or cologne place I take a quick glance around to see if I see it.
BUBBLE BEEPERS.
talk about elementary school memories. i remember we all had em like we were drug dealers.. awesome times. if you grew up in the hood, you would know what im talking about. :p

Samboy chips are still the best BBQ flavour around, none of this "smokey texan grill" crap, but sadly they're becoming a lot harder to find now. Only certain supermarkets are stocking them :(
Oh, and Kool Fruits! You can still get Kool Mints, but Kool Fruits in those little cardboard tubes when you went to the movies - they were the bomb!
