Products You Miss

[Communicore1991]

What's a product that you used to get that you can no longer find or is no longer available? Whether it be a can of Tab soda or your favorite hair product that you used for 25 years before being discontinued in the 90s, let's hear it!

The Works toilet bowl cleaner. I loved that stuff.

Banalg. It was this blue colored liquid pain reliever that you rubbed on with a cotton ball. It was really the only thing that worked on my knees and back. I haven't seen it on store shelves in decades.

This one is simple and going to make me crazy even typing it up:

Get a PERFECT pair of tennis shoes. The kind you can run and workout in and then perfectly transition to walking around shoes after they wear down too much. And then when it’s time to get a new pair…

It’s like they never existed. Zero mention of them on the brand’s website. Not even anything similar.

WHY DO THEY DO THAT?

Breyers ice cream when it used to be good, not cheapened down and now it’s mostly “frozen dairy dessert.”

Tuna in 7 oz. cans.

My original L’Oréal hair color - it’s been discontinued for about a year now. I used to get so many compliments on my hair color. Other ladies would ask me - where do you get your hair done and I’d say - my bathroom

White grapefruit. I used to be able to buy white grapefruit in every grocery store and bottles of white grapefruit juice in any random convenience store. Now the only thing they sell is ruby red. Haven’t been able to get white grapefruit since probably about the mid-2000s.

They still make it. I saw it at Walmart yesterday, and bought some not long ago at Dollar Tree. Didn't realize it wasn't still found everywhere?

That's where I buy it now as well. I couldn't find it at the usual places and was very happy to see it at Dollar Tree.

Holy crumbs, I forgot all about those Pepperidge Farm Sesame sticks! That was a go-to snack for me. I did a search, apparently they still make these in limited quantities.

Comtrex was my main cold medicine, then they yanked it because of phenylpropanolamine issues.

The original Surge soda. Due to popular demand, they rereleased it later, but it did not taste the same. Didn't have that ZInG.
I think about that taste, and I'm whisked back to the late 90's.
