The PS2 was discontinued this January...

Spoiler

And into the annals of history it passes

OT: Hmmmm... PS2. Dreamcast. Thats about it.

There was a limited time promotional thing when the green Skittle was green apple flavor instead of lime, and you could vote to keep it as lime or change it to green apple. It was kept as lime obviously, but I like green apple flavor for candy a lot in general, and lime not so much so it was a disappointing result.

3D Doritos. Specifically, the Jalapeno Cheddar. Loved those things, even if they did cut up the roof of my mouth.

One Sweet Whirled, my favorite Ben & Jerry's flavor. It was the best coffee ice cream I've ever had. There's quite a few Ben & Jerry's flavors that I miss, but this one easily tops the list.

Holy crap, I loved 3D Doritos. They kind of had a resurgence with those Doritos Asteroid things a while back, but they stopped those too.

The PS2 will never be discontinued...in our hearts

I kind of miss Mini-discs, even though we have digital technology that poops all over mini-discs I liked the feeling of an album having a physical aspect plus they were more portable than CD walkmans which would skip like nobody's business if you so much as moved them slightly. I guess you could still replicate the sensation by using loads of memory cards to keep your music on.

PB Crisps were the best shit around! Apparently, they were discontinued because something in it caused anal leakage, and instead of fixing it, they just discontinued it. In any case, as a kid, I never had any anal problems after eating them, and even if I did, I would endure it because they were snacks of the GODS!!!


I freakin' loved this Oreo O's cereal. Now the only place that still makes them is South Korea. South. Muthaf***in'. Korea. Rumors abound that it's coming back, but like all rumors, they are probably false.

Oh yeah, they don't make Crispy M&M's here in United States anymore. The kind with the crispy puffed rice center. Only the kind with pretzel inside now. But crispy M&M's are still available in Europe...bastards...

I remember those I used to have a Sony Mini disc player that I walked around with in high school. Those things were amazing and durable. Over the years I went through 3 ipods but that thing still works without a problem.

OT: Mountain Dew Pitch Black II and MDX both were amazing.
The Monster Black Ice Slurpee at 7/11
Mcdonald's Arch Deluxe Burger
Taco Bell's XXL Chalupa

That is all I can think of right now.

3D Doritos... Whatever happened to those?

I really miss this hamburger they sold at Burger King, for the Wild Wild West movie. It was a sour-dough BBQ bacon burger.

Mountain Dew Ultraviolet. Loved that stuff but only got to have it a couple of times before they axed it.

Dude I drank so much of that when it was out, it started hurting my teeth and I don't know how caust it was a Diet cola.

EDIT: 711 Brand Flaming Hot Cheetos. It was the first batch they made, and they were SOOOOO fucking hot. I mean legit, you could feel them traveling through your whole body hot.

They came back a year or so later, significantly less hot.

New episodes of Star Trek. The new movies are great, but Enterprise was cancelled right when it was gaining more members of its audience. And when it was being slightly above average.

 

[socialmenace42]

First thing that springs to mind :The mini. As in the actual mini, not the mini cooper made by BMW, which despite having a pretty sweet first model back in the day no longer has much to do with 'mini' at all...

What else can I think of? not strictly speaking something that isn't made anymore, nor indeed do I want it to return; but whenever I see VCR tapes I get this sweeping wave of nostalgia, it's magnificent!

Captch: lunatic fridge. Awesome name for a band.

 

[AZT00Z]

Altoids sours, though they always gave me sore throat because I pretty much eat them up all at once. I heard they got discontinued around 2008 or so, but you probably could still get them on ebay.

 

[Astoria]

The old McDonalds mcflurrys. They used to have really good sizes and you could have oreos, m$ms or two other flavours that I can't remember and they were really nice but now they have all these weird flavours like bubblegum and toffee crunch or something and they just taste weird. The sizes are much smaller too but the same price.

 

[Zippy1313]

A restaurant called Red Hots. It had the best gyros and hot dogs. Tried to eat there a year or to ago and it was just gone for no reason.

 

[Jack Joe Tip Toe]

That one Oreo cereal was fucking great. Until it disappeared out of the blue one day. I don't know why. Maybe too many moms complained that it made their kids fat.

 

[glyphseeker]

Surprised no-one has said anything about French-Toast Crunch, i loved that stuff as a kid.

 

[bak00777]

A few things that come to mind are a special scent of Febreze called New Zealand that was out last summer and I loved it, it covered the scent of certain "herbs" i used pretty well. Also Just when i started really liking a shampoo or body wash i used they discontinued it. Also Waffle Crisp is the best cereal ever made, not sure if its 100% discontinued, but i haven't seen it in stores in years.

 

[FunKing]

Coke - The old kind with sugar
Twinkies - The old non-shit kind, not the recently discontinued awful twinkies
DnD games from SSI

you can get "Coke de Mexico" it's Coke in a glass bottle that uses regular sugar, and tastes the way it's supposed to.

As for me? I miss "Doo-Dads" http://gbnfgroceries.blogspot.com/2011/11/from-snack-aisle-doo-dads.html
They've made stuff that's similar...but it'll never be those.

There was this weird white/red/chocolate candy taffy they sold for like 5 cents when I was a kid. It was pretty good, tasted neat and they don't make it anywhere. It came in shitty wrapper that easily came off (yay) and it was pretty big for the price too. Maybe it was 25 cents. Whatever.

Pac-Man cereal.

Count-Chocula. I see it from time to time but it's not always available. The limit release irritates me. It's basically chocolate-lucky-charms. It's technically still around in places, just not near me.

This ... fruit-mascot cereal. It's rice crispies with very cheap marshmallows. Perfect!!

Altoids sours, though they always gave me sore throat because I pretty much eat them up all at once. I heard they got discontinued around 2008 or so, but you probably could still get them on ebay.

I loved those too. I'd go through like half a tin at a time. Tangerine, raspberry, and apple. Idk if they had other flavors. I would buy them all the time and wondered what ever happened to them.

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

White Kitkat Chunkies and Vanilla Coke, at least where I live. I can still get them but only at specialist candy shops and usually for an absurd price.

...Not that Vanilla Coke was ever at a good price(~2 euro for a 250ml bullet can no wonder it didn't stick here).

My personal solution to that problem is regular coke and vanilla rum - whalers in this case.

Though I do seem to find vanilla coke from time to time here but there isn't any regularity to the supply.

Orbitz soda. Not like the air company, but a clear citrus soda that had neutrally buoyant balls in it of varying colour. I used to love the flavour of the soda part, although despite claims to the contrary I'm pretty sure the floating bits had no flavouring at all.

There was also this one kind of ramen from my school days that was awesome. It cost 40 cents more than the competing brand, but it had actual bits of dried octopus and shrimp in it and way better broth. Haven't seen it in years, but it had no English text on the cup so I couldn't even try to look it up.

I had Orbitz once and it was one of the worst beverages I've ever had. I seem to recall it was pitched as a "tropical" flavor when it was, in reality, coconut. Out of all the foods I've ever tried, coconut is, far and away, the most disgusting. That it was also incredibly syrupy did little to help - it was less a beverage than a topping for waffles in some twisted diner of misery and despair.

Oreo O's.

I occasionally go to the cereal aisle cry over their demise.

(No, we aren't talking about the fact that South Korea still has them, because I am too poor to import them.)

 

[Headsprouter]

Timesplitters games!

Spoiler: feels

I'm talkin' the ones by the 'Radical dudes... *sniff*

And Snow Flakes, as they were originally called.

Thin milk chocolate shell encasing a soft, gentle, thick, wispy inside of white chocolate...they came out alongside Flake Praline (nutty flake) and Flake Dipped (thick flake). But neither were as good as Snow Flakes..

I remember when I loved chocolate, now I'm really not big on it at all. I still have 3 untouched Easter eggs.
