View Full Version : Ever have a favorite product discontinued?

I have. Most recently, Lancome stopped making my favorite eyeliner that I've used for years. I've bought 3 other ones, but can't find one that compares.
LL Bean stopped making these great PJs last year. I ordered them for years.
A few years back, a company did away with the line of my favorite bra. :eek: Now, that was traumatic.
At Papa Gino's, I've been ordering pepperburgers since I was a teen. Just a simple burger with fried green peppers.
Recently, I tried to order one. Sorry, I was told, we don't make them anymore. :mad:

Surge. I used to have that in seventh and eighth grade and I loved that stuff. I wonder what happened to it? :confused:

It was a green fruit soda that had a lot of caffeine. That didn't seem to bother me, though. It was really good. It was around during the mid to late 1990s. 7Up came up with a similar product earlier this year, dnL (That's the 7Up logo upside down)

That reminds me of Jolt from a few year's back. College students used to drink it to stay up all night to study.
Their slogan was, 'All the sugar and twice the caffeine.' :lol:

What happened to P.B. Crisps?
Ugh, Surge. It was okay, til I went to this one picnic and they had this race thing. Sprint 15 yards, pick up a can of Surge, chug it, and whoever got done first wins. Know what I did while attemping that one?
You guessed it. I :barf: ed.
But the picnic-people felt so bad they gave me a freee Surge jacket, which I'm pictured wearing below...

They just came back - as "Smorez" or however the name is...I believe it's in a blue box now...I can't remember which company makes it now, tho. But it's definitely back. I saw commercials for it a few times.

Oh my gosh, THANK YOU BRIAN! My friend and I were just on the phone talking about Jolt, and it reminded me of Surge, but I couldn't think of the name. I think my friend thought I was full of applesauce. Now I can tell her, "It was called Surge!"

I remember back in the mid 90s there was this very short lived soup. WOW, it was awesome. You all know the soups in the styrofoam cups? Well this soup was like that only, in addition to the long skinny noodles, it also had noodles in the shape of sunshines with sunglasses on them! I LOOOOOOVED that soup. My grandma would eat it too, but pick out the sunshines before she'd cook the rest, and she'd give them to me. I always got double sunshines.
The thing I hate is when they discontinue type of clothes.
I know, clothing styles change, but I'm talking about simple items, like work boots.
Whenever I find a boot I like and wear to work day after day, inevitably when I need to replace them, the store has changed the style or fit, then I have to find another style.
When I was running, I hated it when they would change or upgrade the style of a favorite running shoe. Sometimes the changes they would make were awful!

Crystal Pepsi.
But they didn't discontinue it before ruining it. 'Twas sad, it was. If only that Pepsi Blue crap had been Crystal Pepsi with blue food coloring added, all would've been right with the world.
Surge wasn't too bad, either.

Orbitz is a cool flavored drink mix with dark, spherical, chewy balls made from yam and tapioca called Pearls Ew!. We are currently offering 20 different flavors to suit the unique taste preference of the local consumers.
Other than Orbitz, I really cant think of anything else I miss. I basically miss all the old commercials.

I was wondering why the lady looked so familiar in that pic, then you said it was Cindy Williams...still wasn't ringing a bell to me, so I had to IMDb her...Now I remember! She was Shirley on "Lavrene & Shirley"! No way! That is soooooo cool. :D

My brother developed a rash because of Crazy Foam, so my Mother wouldn't let me use it anymore. I was a bit peeved.
From then on, I decided to devote myself to a life of crime...

I used to use this shampoo, I cna't remember what brand it was, but it was called Honey Almond and smelled exactly like maraschino cherries. I loved it but they don't make it anymore. That and Tropical Nectar from Victoria's Secret. My friend and I have a big inside joke with that and I went to buy her some for her birthday and they told me they discontinued it.

And am I the only one who thinks that, with all the variations coming out nowadays, Crystal Pepsi is about due for a comeback? Yep.
BTW: Saw the "Crystal Gravy" parody ad on a Classic SNL ep last night. Sadly, that parody-ad will probably be the only thing that'll ever be seen again by the mass public in regards to the product.

I loved polly pockets! I still have a ballet one and a zoo one- somewhere.
Also I havent seen Quints, Popples, or My Little Ponies lately.
And Barbie's friend Midge...what happened to her??
I'll bring this thing full-circle...or full 180%, whichever you prefer. Janice started this out with eyeliner, PJ's and bras :eek: :lol: . I used to be able to get chainsaw bar oil at a bargain price in gallon size containers. Only one store carried that bargain priced gallon-size. I can still get gallons but not at that price. That company, and so that store, discontinued the gallon jugs. I know, I know, the bras were much more fun and interesting. Hey I didn't just fall off the turnip truck you know! :) :p
Hardy's fastfood. Still exists in some state, but not mine :(
Body Shop's Juba perfume. Loved that stuff. And everything from Naturistics - now there's a company that simply disappeared into oblivion :mad:
Hershey's chocolate milk was my fave when I was little - it disappeared when I was like 10, and I've just now seen it coming back! YAY!!!:) :) :)
Anyone remember snap-bracelets? ;)
