What discontinued snack/beverage would you bring back?

Apple Slice soda

Light and Lively cottage cheese..it was thick and creamy.

Cool Whip FROSTING. Only available in the freezer section. A million times better than canned frosting.

I don't remember Cool Whip frosting, but I think there used to be "chocolate flavored" Cool Whip decades ago. Maybe other flavors too. I used to eat it right out of the tub.

My mother often bought Dream Whip, a boxed powdered whipped topping mix. I still see that in stores.

Pommac soda

The Cool Whip frosting came in chocolate and vanilla. The chocolate was mmmmmmmmmm...

[amberpi]

I feel like I missed a good thing...

 

[disneylovinmom3]

Quaker baked cheddar snack mix and jello no bake Reese's.

 

[Domo]

Walnut Whips are now just Whips. Why?

 

[disneylovinmom3]

Schwan's tater teasers they were like flat tater tots filled with spicy jalapeño cheese

 

[disneylovinmom3]

They still make Chunky bars. I get them every year for my mom as part of her small gifts

Maybe there is hope! I haven't seen one around here in a long time. Your posts inspired me to try the Nestle "product locator" online, lol - it said that there wasn't anyplace that sold them within a 15+ miles, but I'll keep hope alive! We don't have Wawas either, although I went to one once in VA...[/QUOTE]
They have them at Cracker Barrel if you have one near you

How about stuff that isn't missed? Anyone remember Simple Pleasures "frozen dairy dessert"? It used a fat substitute with the trademark name Simplesse. It had a lot of the problems that Olestra had, which was that it wasn't fully digested. Same issue with sugar-free hard candies that used sugar alcohols like sorbitol.

There was another one I thought was kind of gross, which was Mocha Mix non-dairy frozen dessert. It used soybean oil instead of milk fat. It didn't really have any digestive issues, but it made me nauseous.

Gator Gum (by Gatorade).

Can you still find Sen-Sen?

Thank goodness it is still available; I actually use it. I've got several "secret family recipes" that are throw-backs to the 70's - people LOVE them and I'm pretty sure I couldn't reproduce the results with whipped cream.

Are Certs and Lifesavers still available in the States? Certs have been gone here entirely for 3 or 4 years; can't even get 'em on Amazon. I do see the very, very occasional package of Lifesavers 5-Flavour at a gas station or convenience store once in a while. I miss both of them.

I know the Walmart near me had the Lifesaver "books" at Christmastime.

It looks like you can still get them on the web site:

Yep, I think my mother used Dream Whip more as an ingredient in her 70's dessert creations rather than as whipped topping.

Would it amuse you to know that my grocery store sells a generic, yellow-label version and of course, that's the one I buy?
