    A few years ago, Morningstar used to have a vegetarian rib patty. Once I realized its potential as a vegetarian McRib, I bought a pack. It was delicious. I bought another pack.

    And then it was gone from shelves in every store that had it.

    I’ve never seen anyone bring it up, so there’s probably no chance it ever gets brought back. How come banana ice cream is so uncommon? It’s the obvious secret fourth flavor, and this one was good. Why do we live on hellworld?

      I bought a case of Orbitz drinks around the time they stopped making them. I drank most of them over the following year or so, but I still have one left. The colors are faded, but the little gel bits are still floating around.

      I thought I was the only one… I used to love that sandwich back in the day.

    Pop Tarts. They still make them but the ingredients have changed and the quality declined so significantly that they are a different product than they used to be.

    Lots of chip flavors. In the UK and probably other countries Frito-Lay makes a Thai Sweet Chili kettle chip under the Sensations sub-brand. They sold it in the U.S. too but dropped the whole Sensations line after the corn chip side did not do well at the same time as Sun Chips were growing (used the same production lines). Hal’s of New York does a really good version of this but I only see them at one hotel I often stop at in Albany.

    Later they had a white cheddar and cracked peppercorn flavor, also a kettle chip but with a cut that made it more like Ruffles. Fantastic chip, but gone.

    When I was a kid I remember a brand called O’Boise’s. I think it was connected to Keebler. The sour cream and onion was really good. Schlotzsky’s sour cream and onion chips are extremely similar.

    Panera used to use chips from a brand called Krunchers. Panera only had the plain kettle chips, but in grocery stores they had a lot of good flavors. Haven’t seen those in years. Now Panera’s chips are private labeled, but taste the same.

      Damn I was gonna suggest Hardbite Sweet Ghost Pepper if you like the sweet Thai chili but I think Hardbite is only Canadian.

    Reese’s used to have an “Elvis” Reese’s peanut butter cup that had a layer of banana cream in them and they were FIRE and I think about them at least 5 times a year.

    From the late 80’s, PB Max

    Fucking GREAT candy bar killed off because apparently the Mars family doesn’t like peanut butter.
