Foods that are discontinued that you miss? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I miss the Brownie Earthquake from Dairy Queen. A brownie, vanilla ice cream, marshmallow fluff, whipped cream, chocolate drizzle, Oreo pieces, yummy. I've only had it a couple of times, and wanted to go back, but the close Dairy Queens by me both shut down, and the nearest Dairy Queen is in a Mall about two hours away from me. And now, the Brownie Earthquake is discontinued. Fans of the Brownie Earthquake who also miss it pointed out we just have to buy brownies, Marshmallow fluff, a half gallon of ice cream, a can of whipped cream, a box of Oreos, chocolate syrup and make our own Brownie Earthquake.

A Brownie Earthquake was about $6.35. For a one time thing

A can of whipped cream is about $4

Marshmallow fluff maybe about $5

A box of premade brownies might be $7

Chocolate syrup might be about $4

A box of Oreos is about $5

A half gallon of ice cream is about $6

So about $31 for about 10 uses versus $6.35 for a one time thing.

Not bad.

When you used to be able to buy salted pistachio nuts, and the salt was so heavy that the shells were coated solid white, making them look "frosted"

Sen-Sen licorice candy

The Wendy's Bacon Portabella burger on a brioche

A restaurant called "Char King" with their "Charky" burgers.

Brach's original Bridge Mix

Mohawk Valley Limburger Cheese Spread

Stouffer's Welsh Rarebit

Hickory Farms mall stores (more variety than mail order)

The hidden treasures cereal was GOOD during my childhood. Some sweetened corn squares were filled with NOTHING and some were filled with a fruity filling. Yummy and fun.

Sadly, it was discontinued in about two years when it should have been a HUGE hit.

Dunkin Donuts had a delicious steak sandwich that I had one time, and when I went back for it just a little while later, it was already gone. Sigh.

Mint Skittles in the plastic tin that were released/discontinued in early-mid 2000s

The original WWF ice cream bars. Good Humor discontinued them in 2009.

Good Humor recently released WWE ice cream sandwiches, but they are not the same.

Chocolate Dipped Altoids

These weren't around that long and I believe they launched in the mid-to-late 2000s.

Totino's Pizza Stuffers

Released/Discontinued in early 2010s. Pretty much 2 big pizza rolls like a Hot Pocket.

The original 3D Doritos that were launched sometime in the late 90s and were stopped sometime in the early 2000s.

They did make a comeback a short while ago, but they do not taste the same as the ones from 20-years ago.

I could have sworn I saw the 3D Doritos recently. You pointing out they made a comeback a little while ago makes sense.

Also, where do you live? I have lived in Miami my whole life and was 16-22 in the Mid 2000's-2006 and never saw the Mint Skittles.

The Wonka candies that were released in 2005 to promote Charlie And The Chocolate Factory were delicious but are now discontinued.

Wonka Donut. A chocolate donut shaped candy filled with chocolate truffle fudge and topped with sprinkles.

The Wonka Bar. A chocolate bar with Graham cracker pieces.

I miss them both.

Yanno? THAT is a real shame too. The original 3D Doritos were good. But the two flavors they offer now, ranch and chili-cheese, are horrible

In that same spirit, the original Planters cheese balls were fantastic, but the recently resurrected edition is oily and nasty.

Forever Yours Chocolate Bars-

Like a Milky Way but with dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate! I haven't seen any in roughly forty years!

Milky Way has a dark chocolate candy filled with vanilla creme.

Flamin' Hot Doritos (the real ones, not these Nacho ones they have now)
I'm so pissed they make Flamin' Hot-"everything under the sun" but not Doritos.

Hot Pockets had these toaster pastry things briefly. idk what they were called. Nobody else seems to remember they existed.

Kool-Aid Fruit-T's

Hmm. Sometimes bringing back beloved discontinued foods is a "Be careful what you wish for because it might come true," type. Sometimes the beloved discontinued food coming back to life so to speak tastes extremely nasty compared to how great it tasted back when it was in heavy rotation.
