What products did you love, but were taken off the market? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 08-19-2005, 08:16 PM

Have you ever loved a product and for whatever reason was discontinued and taken off the market? Either that, or it is almost impossible to find nowadays.

I use to really like Crystal Pepsi, but I guess it didn't sell very well and they stopped making it.

I believe they were called OBoise chips.. something along those lines. Yeah I haven't seen them since I was a kid.

swedeace · 08-19-2005, 08:25 PM

Yeah! I remember Crystal Pepsi!!! I LOVED that!! It was circa 1993!! I remember drinking it with my neighborhood childhood friends.

Pine Brothers cough drops. They were cherry and they were gummy-like. I used to eat them like candy

Taco Bell used to have these big tacos called Taco Bell Grandes. I would get them all the time. They had lettuce, tomatos, black olives and sour cream on them but for some reason they discontinued them in the early 90's.

I also used to love Fresh in Up gum. The pieces were square shaped with liquid centers. No idea why they got rid of that either.
I haven't seen Bubs Daddy gum or Jolly Rancher sticks in a long time either.

Also Towne Club soda. I'm not sure if that was a nationwide thing or just a Michigan thing. They had this big warehouse type building with a bunch of different flavors of soda in glass bottles and you could go there and fill up a box with whatever flavors you wanted. When you finished all the pop you brought back the emply bottles for a refund and filled the box up again.

I can't remember the cereal company but back in the 80's I absolutely loved Cracker Jack cereal. It has disappeared. Also in the early 70'sthere was a cereal that I loved. It was a granola cereal(maybe put out by Quaker Oats) but I cannot remember the exact name of it! It was so yummy!

Oh you reminded me of Taco Bells Bellbeefers!!!! They were awesome. Anyone else remember the Bellbeefers? Hamburger with grounded up ground beef, just like the taco except it had buns instead of a taco shell.

The original Sprite Remix. Not the gross berry or Baja ****... the tropical stuff in the light orange-ish can.

Steve M. · 08-19-2005, 08:47 PM

Fiats.

HA HA HA! I am just kidding, of course. Seriously, though, I miss Quaker Corn Bran cereal.

Number 9 Dream · 08-19-2005, 08:48 PM

I remember Taco Bell carried their own fries back in the early to mid 90's....they weren't Nathan's. They came in a large box and were topped with cheese and scallions

These things were sooo good.

I'm sure there's more stuff I'll recall later
