While in the cooking aisle of my grocery store checking out packaged cookies, I was reminded of how much I miss Circus Animal Cookies, which got discontinued last year when Mother's Cookies filed for bankruptcy (although Kellogg's has said it plans to reintroduce some favorites). In hard times, many products — from Archway Cookies to Zima coolers — have gone the way of Crystal Pepsi. What discontinued products do you still crave?






Ultimo
Triples Cereal, Crystal Clear Pepsi, and Ranch Ruffles. If anyone can tell me where to get those three things i would love them forever.
1Ok I know it's not discontinued, but for some reason my local grocery store (Mollie Stones) stopped carrying regular puff pastry. Now they only carry puff pastry tarts. It's driving me insane.
2pine brothers cherry cough drops
3Growing up, my absolute favorite cereal was Apple Raisin Crisp and if I could buy it now, I'd be all over it.
4Rice Krispy treats cereal and the Oreo cereal are the only two I can think of right now!
5Well, when I lived in London for a bit, I used to love love LOVE Weetabix minis in the fruit & nut crisp flavour. DELISH. Unfortunately, I'm not about to spend 60 dollars to ship it to California. They also have this insanely delicious chocolate mousse called Gu. The stuff was like crack in a cup. My god, MUST BOOK PLANE TICKET NOW.
6Something my area does not carry - Gibbles Potato chips.
7Pizzeria's chips (they were pizza shaped flour chips covered completely in bright red pizza flavoring) (Dorito's makes a mix bag with pizza ones now that tastes similar)
Keebler I believe used to make a light blue box of cookies that were mini chocolate chip cookies filled with gooey chocolate. When you bit into it you got a burst of chocolate.
The Pecan Sandie's cookies at the store, they used to make another flavor. It was either Praline Sandies or Toffee Sandie's but they were yummy!
8We were talking about Crystal Pepsi the other day. I totally miss that stuff!
9It's not discontinued, but I can't get it and would love to, there was a tea in Italy called something like EstaTe, it was tea infused with with Peach nectar, soooo good!
10Tropicana Fruit Twisters!!
11string things!!!
12Taffy cookies
13sodalicious fruit snacks.

14Gosh, i have no idea...
15I miss Bonkers. I sort of miss the McDLT. I miss OK soda. And it's not a food, but I miss the Boston Garden.
16I'm with Bluebell....Taffy cookies all the way! They were a staple of road trips when I was a kid, and my sisters and I had carried on the tradition as adults. So sad. I hope they are one of the flavors that are brought back!
17Crispy M&Ms!
18I used to buy those around every holiday and then they took them off the shelves and I almost cried
Please sign these petition http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/crispymms and maybe they will bring them back!
I also miss these cinnamon sugar alphabet cookies that I would buy in bulk at Costco
haha- Zima! What a funny product to put on this title picture. we used to put jolly ranchers in the bottles, although i never really tasted a difference.
I live near a predominantly hispanic neighborhood, and when I first moved here the local produce markets sold these little bags of pumpkin seeds roasted with chili. My god that stuff was so good. about 6 months later they just up and disappeared. I'm not yet over the withdrawal symptoms.
19i do love them circus animal treaties, mmmmmmmm....
20Orbitz, the fruity drink that had little gelatin balls in it. My favorite was raspberry. It was so good and I was so sad when it was discontinued
21Oh my god Triples! Jules0701 you are so right, I adored that cereal. The multi grain cheerios are the closest I can find to it.
22Crispy M&Ms!!! OMG I forgot about those! I totally wanted some a few months ago and then I learned they don't exist!
23clearly canadian and bar none candy bars.
24Mars Bars. I craved them when I was pregnant. Snickers with Almonds is what replaced them and it's suppose to be the same thing according their website. I can taste the difference.
25oo i had forgotten about clearly canadian- i loved the wild cherry!
26o and senaca apple sauce. maybe its still made somewhere but i haven't seen it. it was the only apple sauce i liked growing up!
27I forgot about clearly canadian too!! Wild Cherry was so good!! I also enjoyed orbitz as well--- how you remember so many items that are gone when reading this. I really enjoyed Coconut Yoo-hoo! Chocolate is just not the same for me!
28Oereo Cereal and crispy M&M's. The crispp M&M's was EVERYONE's fav; why get rid of it?
29They still make Archway cookies. I just bought Oatmeal today.
jmorri26, I really had begun to think I'd imagined those Keebler cookies! I had them once and then could never find them again. They were amazing.
30Bar None candy bars were my FAVORITE!! I wish they would bring them back...
31wouldn't buy it anymore, but for YEARS i missed rice-a-roni's original (stroganoff) flavor. ah... the childhood memories of quick meals out of a box by mom. (thank god for grandma, or there would certainly be no chowmama today!)
32wow, aside from crispy m&ms, ive never heard of any of the foods everyone is mentioning! well, its not exactly discontinued, but all the food brads here like lays etc have different flavors available in india, so i stock up on those while im there.
33The veggie burger at McDonald's! I'm a vegetarian, and for all of six months or so, it was so nice to be able to go to MickyD's with my friends after school and actually order something, as opposed to subsisting on McFlurrys and fries.
34they dont make clearly canadian anymore??? really? well i miss those sara lee pound cakes, there was vanilla and chocolate. they were so good. and i miss a whole buncha stuff since i moved to the US. No offense but Canadian chocolate bars/desserts are wayyyyy better.
35i also really liked the lay's cool guacamole chips.i haven't seen those in about 5 years.i had forgotten about them until today.
36Oh and this isn't really discontinued but Dairy Land used to sell Jones in the bottles and they stopped
Now I can only find them in the 12 packs at the grocery stores and they don't taste the same OR have all the flavors!
37Campbell's Tomato Garden Soup - I used to eat it alll the time, and then they up and changed the recipe one day. It tasted totally different! My sister and I actually wrote the company to get them to change it back. I can't remember what ever came of that. Now I can't even find it when I go grocery shopping. Also, I agree about the crispy M&Ms. My boyfriend and I did a candy run to the gas station the other night, and I was totally looking for those!
38I can't help but think of that SNL skit with "Crystal Gravy" when somebody mentions Crystal Pepsi! I will miss the Circus Animal cookies
39Amloveaffair & SoapBox -- did you sign the petition?!
40rosebud mints by russell stovers. also, plain doritos, which aren't carried in my area.
41one of my friends always raved about coca cola blak, and i never got a chance to try it before it was discontinued in the us!
42When I was really young there used to be a cereal called Crispy Critters. I loved it. If it ever came on the market again, I would buy it in cases!
43Pudding pops and Jell-O fruit and cream bars!
44Clearly Canadian water... I can get a similar one from Winn-Dixie here in town. If you have one, go to the soda aisle and look for their Wild Cherry in the 1-ltr bottles. Almost the same, even though it's not quite there.
What I miss though - Summit candy bars. And Whatchamcallit before they added frickin caramel to it...
45When I was in high school I loved to eat Chili Cheese Burritos (Chilitos) from Taco Bell. Mmmmmmmm. It's probably best that they no longer exist.
46Is that cereal Alphabits still around? I loved that as a youngin..
47Rice kripsy treat cereal.... I've missed that over the years...
48Nestle Alpine White! Most white chocolate is disgusting, but this was good, good stuff. And the commercials were hilarious
creamy white...dreamy white
