What food/drink do you miss?

[Pin Wizard]

Well, just visit FL. We have Tab and Fresca. That's what I HATE about FL...they're behind the times on EVERYTHING!!

Wow, we have Tab and Fresca here in Milwaukee too.

I miss the wine cooler Matilda Bay. That was sooooo goooood! And I'm NOT a wine cooler fan!

Mallo Cups. I love those things! Can't find them around here anymore!

Come to Columbus, OH. We have a place here called Quizno's

Pretty good.

What do I miss? Two things because I don't live in Puerto Rico.

You can get them both anywhere but they just aren't the same.
Mangoes (nothing like picking them off the tree yourself)
Guayaba (Guava fruit made into a candy paste - You can get them here but it is much dryer than the one in Puerto Rico)

Tuna Helper used to make a Tuna Pot Pie variety. Some time ago, it became unavailable in MA. But I used to find it in NH while visiting relatives. Now, can't find it anywhere.

We like to make it but put canned or leftover chicken in it.

The vending machine at work and one a school have tab!

Is Jello 1-2-3 the same as a Jello Parfait? You mixed it with water, I guess, and in the refridgerator it separated into three layers.

I miss the Krafts plain ole Spaghetti. Not the Italian. The box looked liked the Macaroni and Cheese box but was red. My husband used to rave about my spaghetti and it just came out of a box. Just add tomato paste, hamburger and water and Wahlah! He never knew.

I also miss the old Mars bars. They changed the recipe up back in the 80's and they have never tasted the same.

We only eat bacon once in a great while but I always liked Rath's Smoky Maple brand of bacon. I haven't been able to find it in a while unfortunately. I also liked Apple Crisp Cereal but it vanished some time back too.

As for sweets, Slo Poke bars were one of my favorites when I was a kid. And the best ice cream bars were Sidewalk Sandwiches and Mississippi Mud neither of which I can find any more.

Wow!

 

[Bob O]

I miss a brand of i think keeble cookies calledd "Ice Creams"!!!!!

 

[WillyJ]

Ballentine Ale!!

 

[Lars624]

They recently stopped making Caffeine Free Mountain Dew & I am already missing that!! It was always difficult to find, but now it's going to be impossible!
Does anyone remember the Marathon Bar? It was about 8 or 9 inches long....braided caramel covered in chocolate......mmmmm...I sure miss those....

 

[PhotobearSam]

Frankenberry Cereal...I lived on the stuff as a kid.

 

[browneyes]

The old coca cola. When they switched to new coke, then back to old coke-the formula changed.

Also, I liked the old diet DP's. The new ones have too much of a sacchrine taste.

That's like Mrs. Alabamaalan enjoying her Caffeine Free Diet Dr. Pepper (or dark water) - I mean, what's the point?

Say, anyone remember Jolt Cola???

Actually I used to drink regular Mt Dew but I ended up in the ER having heart palpatations from too much caffeine. The ER Doc said that no one over 18 should drink Mt Dew I really enjoyed the taste so found the caffeine free version. I don't drink anything with caffeine in it after noon as a rule now.

 

[WilmaBud]

Actually, they still make Frankenberry and Booberry. We can usually get it around here at Halloween time.

I miss Tootsie Pop Drops and especially Turkish Taffy! I also used to love this cereal called BucWheats. And I miss, miss, miss, PDQ!

 

[Jingle]

I miss PDQ, Spoon Candy, Cool & Creamy pudding, Great Shake, and most of all, I miss pop in glass bottles.

In that case, I see your point! I just didn't know anyone drank it for the taste alone!

I don't think it's so much an issue of are these being made anymore as opposed to our stores aren't stocking them! I haven't seen Diet Mazola here in years, but I know it exists. I can't even remember which brand of spaghetti sauce I used to buy, but it also hasn't been here in years. It seems every so often they stop stocking the things I like. Boca Burgers? They no longer stock garlic. DS won't eat the other flavors! I heard a lady talking with someone putting bread on the shelves the other day about a product she was looking fo. He informed her that Publix will not be selling it any longer.
