I used to LOVE Birdseye pick up stix ! They were like the pizza rolls now but bigger! I even remember the jingle !:) It was a little catchy tune! ;)


"Pick up , Pick up stix, they only take a few short minutes to fix, Pick up, Pick up stix! Yeah Birdseye pick up stix "! :D


They really didn't take that long to cook, but of course you had to put them in the regular over, it was before microwaves! :)

1. Back in the early 70's Campbell Soup had a tomato soup with small O -shaped pasta. I was addicted to it during my second pregnancy. But one day it disappeared. :(

2. In the 80's I loved Cracker Jack Cereal! But for some reason it was discontinued. I never knew why! It was so yummy!:liplick:

I had never heard of Pick Up Stix or Cracker Jack cereal, but they sound good.

My entries:

-Pillsbury frozen regular size blueberry waffles (unlike Eggo's, these actually had flavor to them)

- 123 Jello (3 layer, multi-variety jello)

-Doodads snack mix (if you turned the package upside down, it spelled "spapoop")

-Barnone candy bar. Sort of a cross between a Kit Kat and a Whatchamacalit, with no shortage of chocolate and crushed peanuts. Later versions contained caramel. Lots of people want this back.

-7 up bar. Never had this as it was before my time, but it sounds so good. Basically, a box of mix chocolates in candy bar form with 7 sections, each containing a different flavor. Discontinued because it reminded people too much of 7 up the drink.

-PB Maxx - another thing I didn't get to try, but really wanted to. Sort of like the shape of a Bun, but loaded with peanut butter and peanuts. Discontinued also because of a stupid reason: The Mars folks hated peanut butter.

-Pepperidge Farm Salzburg cookies: delightfully textured mocha cookie. Discontinued, but 80 million versions of the horrid Milanos are still around.

-Swanson fish tv dinner.

-Klondike NASCAR bars. Round klondikes with caramel and peanuts.

-The big Lunchables, with 2 meats, 2 cheeses, 2 types of crackers, a chocolate mint and a packet of Dijon mustard.

-Just Right and Clusters cereal

-Bubble Eez Bubble gum. The softest bubble gum ever, shaped in a big gumball, came 6 to a pouch and had the catchiest jingle in the recorded history of Planet Earth. Apparently discontinued because some packages contained traces of cocaine (?!)

-Cheez it Twists. Two flavors in one twisted cheez it.

-lots of flavors of Snapple, including Mint tea. Didn't try some of them because Snapple has always been hard to get in my area.

Not sure if these are still around, but Catherine Clark bread and Pepperidge Farm cheese sticks, the latter of which was flat out addictive.

I never heard of Cracker Jack cereal either. I think I remember the tomato soup with pasta? What I can't find anymore that I used to like was Campbell's curly noodle soup! :confused:


And Wiseguy 182, I don't like those Pepperidge Farm Milano cookies either! :p

-Wendy's salad bars. I'm guessing they got rid of these because they took up a lot of space in the restaurant. Also, the old Caesar side salads they had up until the mid-late 2000's. Now every salad they have has a bunch of nuts and fruit on it. Gross.

-Sweet Spots Cookies. flipping AWESOME small, circular shortbread cookies with a Heshey's kiss in the middle. Around in 1992 or thereabouts.

-Almost Home cookies. With the old-fashioned country home embroidered on the package, similar to Soft Batch.

-Giggles cookies.

-Peanut Butter putters, anyone remember these? A little before my time and I never had them, but they looked so good. Peanut butter and oats I believe, next to nothing about them on the internet.

I loved Twix Cookies and Creme and Chocolate Fudge!...

One of my favourites thats been discontinued is GOLDEN GRAIN MACARONI AND CHEDDER!!!!! (mmmmmmmmmmmmm it was my favourite mac and cheese of all time (Sadly the company sold that division of thier company in 1986))

http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=kj8jAAAAIBAJ&img=1&zoom=3&pg=6003,4770606

Here is a commercial for it.. BRINGS ME TO TEARS!!

www.youtube.com/v/TNCUEslvovY


I also miss PRE-2000 M&Ms like crazy!!

I asked the company if they would consider using WATER instead of SKIM MILK.. (It wont taste as bad as it does with SKIM MILK) They didnt reply to me.... (No surprise)

I didnt realise how much they are trying to keep this in the dark until I found a WIKI page discussing M&M candies a couple years ago and ya know how you can edit the pages??

I added in that they changed all thier candy recipes IN THE YEAR 2000 to skim milk from reg milk (I didnt comment about the taste I just added that) and my comments were removed!! (Twice I added it and both times they were deleted) -- That told me right there!!!!!!

For a year MARS lied to me saying they didnt change anything.... THEY MUST THINK IM AN IDIOT THAT CANT READ OR TASTE ANYTHING!!! (they must think most are and dont like those like ME who dont take thier BS and stand up to them)

McRib hasn't been discontinued.

A little down in the weeds, but Mocha flavor Carnation Instant Breakfast. Discontinued so they could put a 3rd type of chocolate in the variety pack. :(

I also used to like that Golden Grain Macaroni & Cheddar, used to buy it all the time. I often wondered what happened to that product. All of a sudden one day it was gone. Nowadays, the boxed Mac & Cheese I buy is from Kraft.

The best frozen Mac & Cheese is Stouffers. Back in the 70's, there was a frozen Mac & Cheese made by Creamettes that I used to like, but that product is long gone too.

A couple discontinued Pop Tarts flavors I miss are Frosted Grape and Frosted Dutch Apple, also Frosted Chocolate Vanilla Creme. I know sometimes Pop Tarts brings flavors back for a limited time, I'm hoping these flavors make a comeback. They have a new limited one, Frosted Blue Raspberry, I haven't tried it yet.

The grocery store near where I live no longer sells a few breakfast products that I like. I think the products are still being made, it's just the idiocy of store management that decided not to stock them anymore. The products are:

Toaster Strudel Raspberry
Toaster Strudel Boston Cream Pie
Toaster Scrambles Bacon & Sausage

There is a Wal-Mart here also, I'll have to check there and see if they have these products.

Another product I miss that also seems to be long gone from stores are these frozen banana cream pies with the graham cracker crust. Haven't seen those anywhere in years, they were tasty.

Goldrush ice cream bars.

Now I only like CLEAR VALUE mac and cheese..... Absolutely delicious!!!!!

General Mills' Breakfast Squares, the aforementioned Dutch Apple Frosted Pop-Tarts, Brown Sugar Cinnamon Frosted Mini-Wheats.

dinosaur meat ;)

-Sweet Spots Cookies. flipping AWESOME small, circular shortbread cookies with a Heshey's kiss in the middle. Around in 1992 or thereabouts.


I remember these! My mom used to put them in my lunches. I loved them.

The best frozen Mac & Cheese is Stouffers.

Never tried that one but I haven't found anything that beats Boston Market's frozen mac & cheese.

Never tried that one but I haven't anything that beats Boston Market's frozen mac & cheese

Boston Market mac and cheese is very good. I think my favorite though is from one of my local pizzerias. They have "deluxe mac & cheese" with ground beef, onions, celery and green peppers mixed in. Quite good and hearty.

A lot of Weight Watchers products I liked, at their meeting centers have been discontinued. Like their Chili and brown Rice combo.

I used to LOVE these !

Never heard of Clear Value. Probably not available in my area. I like Kraft. Tastes OK to me.

YES!!! I mentioned those above and they are very addictive.

YES!!! I mentioned those above and they are very addictive.



They were GREAT!!!!!!!! I have NO idea why they would discontinue them!!! :confused: I could eat a WHOLE box of them at a time they were so good! ;)

I loved the 3D Doritos when I was in high school. I believe they were launched sometime in the late 90s and were stopped sometime in the early 2000s.

Never heard of Clear Value. Probably not available in my area. I like Kraft. Tastes OK to me.


I like Kraft!;) The only thing with boxed Mac & Cheese is it is really good when you first make it! But if you put the leftovers in the fridge and reheat later it isn't nearly as good! Same with Hamburger Helper and Tuna Helper ,that is yummy when it's first made but in leftovers it's really bland and dried out tasting! :p

Yea that is true about boxed mac & cheese. The pasta tends to absorb the cheese sauce so it's best to eat it all right away and no leftovers. Otherwise, it will dry out and lose some flavor as well.

Some of my favorite foods restaurants no longer have: Dairy Queen's Treatzza Pizza, I had it when I was a lot younger and wish they would bring it back. And no it wasn't pizza mixed with ice cream, it was all good dessert. Also the double chocolate chip shakes alive from Steak n Shake and the navajo taco from Carlos O'Kellys, they discontinued that around a year before going out of business.

As a kid, I always prefer Hydrox cookies. They were similar to Oreos. Heard a few years Hydrox company out of business.

A lot of foods I were crazy about when I was a kid are no longer made today and I can't figure out why the companies don't bring them back because the foods were so good to eat. When I was a kid my mother and I used to love Twigs crackers and they were made by Nabisco and Twigs were cheese flavored crackers with sesame seeds in them and they were great but now you can't find Twigs crackers anymore since they disappeared and there isn't any crackers that taste like Nabisco Twigs today. Another favorite snack of my grandfather's was Nabisco Bacon crackers and ever since Nabisco discontinued Bacon crackers you can never find bacon flavored crackers by any brand anywhere
Bestie

Yosicles

Yogos

Many of the foods I did like I no longer do for the taste is different. I could tolerate Tic Tacs although I found Dynamites to taste better. Dynamites it seems went off the market. Tic Tac now even taste worse. So much artificial funny taste flavors

As a kid, I always prefer Hydrox cookies. They were similar to Oreos. Heard a few years Hydrox company out of business.


One of the funniest lines I ever heard was that your father was the person that you sent to the store for Oreos and he came back with Hydrox.

I miss Coca Cola with cane sugar instead of corn syrup.

I also miss Melody Cookies, which most of you probably never heard of.

Nestle Quik Candy
Matt's Chocolate Chip Cookies(A brand that Aldi had)
Reeses Peanut Butter Whoppers

Jello Pudding Pops and Hershey Cookies and Mint bar, and a little bit of my childhood died when Kool Aid stopped making Purplesauraus Rex. Although they did bring that back 90's Kool aid flavors for a bit a few years ago.

I remember several foods from this thread, like Golden Grain Macaroni & Cheddar (used to get always), PB Max candy (once in a while), and Cracker Jack Cereal (probably had only a couple of times).

Anyone remember Kraft "Wrapples," the flat caramel on sheets that you used to form caramel apples? Came with popsicle sticks included. "That's how you make / caramel apples / with Wrapples / from Kraft!"

Candies I used to like:
"No Jelly" bar (peanut butter)
Willy Wonka Scrunch Bar

I remember once in a while I would steal a Kennedy half-dollar from my dad's stack and go blow it on candy, like Apple Stix, Munch Bars (mostly peanuts, like a brittle), Wayne Buns (clusters), Mars Bars, Oompas, Snickers... I was a rough & tumble kid.

Does anyone remember Keebler's Tato Skins? They were potato chips that tasted like potato wedges and they were delicious
Bestie

Yes, I remember Tato Skins. I wasn't sure they're no longer available anywhere.

How about some discontinued peanut butter brands: Superman; Planter's (? still around?)

For a while, a new Chef Boyardee line of boxed skillet dinners started up, to compete with Hamburger Helper. I can't remember the name. There was a good flavor or two. Sometime in the '90s I think.

Mom and I used to love Micro-Magic French Fries and they were fries that you could cook in the microwave and they tasted awesome and delicious and I used to eat them all the time when I was little. Micro-Magic also had microwave cheeseburgers and hamburgers too.
Did you ever buy Micro-Magic French Fries?

Thank you! I think the one I liked best was some kind of stroganoff on rotini pasta.

Do you remember Jello Pudding Bites? They were similar to fruit snacks but tasted like vanilla or chocolate flavors and they were great to eat. Another favorite snack of mine were Mother's Marias Cookies and they were like Marie Lu cookies and they were awesome to eat for Friday night snacks and my mom would share a roll of Mother's Marias Cookies with me whenever we would buy them
Bestie

Do you remember Aunt Jemima's Breakfast Platters? They were introduced in the 80's and contained sausage eggs and pancakes on a plate that you could microwave and it also came in a version with waffles too. Also another discontinued frozen breakfast line was Swanson's Great Starts and they consisted of ham and cheese and sausage breakfast sandwiches and had pancake platters too. It's amazing how advanced frozen breakfasts have become and with these two discontinued frozen breakfast lines it really started a food trend for people who wanted a fast and easy breakfast before going to work
Bestie

Hershey Cookies and Mint bar,
I recently tried the new oreo mint candy bars and thought it tasted a lot like the cookies and mint bar

How about Mickey's Parade Ice Creams? They were a brand of ice creams and ice pops made by Disney and featured Mickey Mouse shaped popsicles and ice cream cones with star sprinkles. My mom used to buy Mickey's Parade ice creams for me when I was little and I loved them and it's a shame that Disney did away with Mickey's Parade ice creams and teamed up with Nestle to make their Cool Creations line of ice creams

Do you remember when Burger King had pizza for a short time in the 90's? My mom used to eat the Burger King pizzas and it was a great idea that Burger King did in the 90's that should've never gotten discontinued because they were great. Another food that Burger King had was the Fiesta Whopper which my mom also liked and Burger King even made Fiesta Fries which were fries with a spicy taste. This was another great idea that Burger King discontinued and should bring back to menus

I could be wrong, but I don't recall ever hearing about BK having served pizza.

I know that McDonald's did during the '90s.

Original New York Seltzer, which came in many great flavors. No one remembers this until I show them pictures.

My mom used to LOVE New York Seltzer and one time she got a whole case of it from a radio station and she drank a whole lot of New York Seltzer when I was a baby and it was great tasting stuff
Bestie

In the 90's Burger King debuted Cini-Minis which were mini Pillsbury cinnamon rolls that were part of Burger King's breakfast menu and I ate them when they came out and they were great tasting. I don't know why Burger King discontinued them but they were a great idea to expand the Burger King breakfast menu

How did your mom get a case from a radio station? That sounds like an interesting story!

I just ordered two cases the other day: one blueberry and one black cherry. The blueberry arrived today, and it tastes just like I remember. :cool:

When I was a baby my mom used to be addicted to radio stations for their contests and one time the radio station had a contest and the prize was a case of New York Seltzer and she entered the contest and she won the case of New York Seltzer and she drank a whole lot of it and the rest of the New York Seltzer she gave to my godfather and he liked it as well

Do you remember Hershey's Symphony bars? They were giant chocolate bars that came in dark chocolate flavor with almonds or milk chocolate flavor and tasted pretty good. Another candy that Hershey's had that was good but also gone was Hershey's Swoops and they tasted great and came in York Peppermint Patty flavor to Reese's Peanut Butter Cup flavor and Almond Joy flavor as well as chocolate too. And Hershey's seemed to have the best candies that quickly disappeared too soon
Bestie

Another discontinued food I used to love were SunnyDoodles and they were made by Drake's.

The Cinnamon Pebbles cereal that got discontinued recently

Totino's Pizza Stuffers

The Mexican Coke and Kosher versions are made this way.

Too bad they had hydrogenated soybean oil in them. Whenever you see the word "hydrogenated" in the ingredients that means trans fat. But that was in everything packaged back in the day.

Do you remember Kellogg's Mueslix Cereal? It was all the rage in the 80's and Kellogg's used to claim that it was considered the biggest health food fad in Europe and came in flakes or bran and had a commercial that featured a classical piece and the commercial had scenes of country life. Another food that was very popular was Post's Blueberry Morning cereal and it was flakes that had blueberries mixed in it and it continued the trend of healthy cereals. It's a shame that today's cereals are now focused on kids and cereals like Kellogg's Mueslix should make a comeback to get more people eating healthy again

How about Betty Crocker's Mug O'Lunch meals? They debuted in the 70's and was one of the most exciting inventions in food. Betty Crocker's Mug O'Lunch meals consisted of three meals ranging from macaroni and cheese to spaghetti to beef noodles and each came in a special mug that could be used again after the food was finished. It's a shame we don't see ramen noodles and other soups being served in mugs like this because whoever invented this at the Betty Crocker factory was a genius

I remember Mug O Lunch too and I used to eat it! It also had a chicken noodle flavor added later. I never saw Mug O Lunch that come with a mug, there were just envelopes in a box and you used your own mug. Maybe you had a test item or a give away. There are several commercials on Youtube.

How about Suddenly Smores? They were cookies designed for the microwave and after you warmed them up they tasted exactly like smores that you ate on campouts. What about Junior Mint Cookies? They were made with Junior Mints and tasted great

Jimmy Dean Tastefuls. A competitor to Lunchables that offered more food: two decent size sandwiches, a bag of potato chips or other snack, and a name-brand dessert. Notable for Jimmy Dean taking a wicked verbal jab in the commercials stating that Lunchables were "not a lunch". Good concept, but the sandwiches were rather bland tasting. Perhaps a little retooling might have worked wonders.
Mom and I tried Jimmy Dean Tastefuls and they were the pepperoni pizzas and we only bought them because they were new and on sale at the supermarket and we disliked them a lot because the pepperoni pizzas had no flavor and tasted terrible. I had only two bites of Jimmy Dean Tastefuls and then I asked for something else because they were the worst tasting food ever. Glad I stuck to Oscar Mayer Lunchables Pizzas
Bestie

How about Keebler's O'Boisies potato chips and Keebler's Pizzarias chips? I tried O'Boisies once and thought they were okay and Keebler's Pizzarias chips actually tasted like pizza. In the 80's Keebler was trying to be chip king but instead focused on their cookies and crackers rather than chips and they should try making good tasting chips again
Bestie

Does anyone remember Fruitopia? It was made by Minute Maid in 1994 and was a unique juice that tasted awesome and was known for it's cool commercials.

Too bad Minute Maid discontinued it because Fruitopia was a neat drink

WWF Ice Cream Bars:

Good Humor officially discontinued these in 2009.


I saw that Good Humor has released new WWE Ice Cream Sandwiches. I haven't had one yet so I don't know how they are.

I know that the cookie is all vanilla and doesn't have a chocolate coating on the back like the old bars.

What about Promise margarine? It just disappeared and I never found out why?

I looked it up and here is why Promise margarine is discontinued:

Bowing to pressure from the Federal Trade Commission, the maker of Promise margarine agreed yesterday to stop advertising the butter substitute as a low-fat product that can help prevent heart disease

so they falsely advertised to consumers so they had to discontinue the margarine

Thanks for the info. Wow, all this time, I thought for a margarine, it was the best out there. It certainly had a good taste.

You are welcome and I agree it had a good taste, it is a shame it is discontinued

First thing that always pops into my heads when I see threads like this; gourmet pride soups. Like cup-o-noodles, only the broth was better, it had real vegetables and MEAT, and the noodles were short, not long. Which mean they didn't get soggy.

More recently, BBQ flavored goldfish. Probably the only flavor of goldfish I can tolerate. Those were good, and then they disappeared! :(
