Discontinued... story of my life.

I went to my favorite childhood market to pick up some goodies I remember only this shop having. They remembered me right away, well they remembered me as Kirby's daughter, but good enough. I looked for some products and they didn't have them. So I picked up some novelty treats and headed home. I decided to look online to see where I could find these products. So as I searched for each item, every one coming up discontinued, I figured I must have a taste for things that are going to be discontinued. Does this mean that Mountain Dew Code Red will be discontinued? Or Peanut Butter Twix? Probably not, but it does seem like there is quite a bit of coincidence with my favorite things. Two of the items I was looking for at the market were Pink Grapefruit Mentos ( I have a thing for pink grapefruit) and Coke blak. I'm sure these items are discontinued because not enough people liked them. But guess what? I LOVED them! So here is a memorial service for the yummiest products that were discontinued, or at least the ones I can think of at the moment.


Coke blak: Oh how I miss this deliciousness. I literally drank this at least once a week if not everyday in High school. I had these tiny little bottles all over the place. Someone needs to come up with another coffee flavored soda.  

Simlar to this? Haven't found anything yet :(


Pamplemousse Mentos: My mouth is watering just looking at this picture, I loved these so much and took it for granted how easy it was to get these before. Now I can't find them anywhere! I have to get my pink grapefruit fix somewhere else, and there isn't many pink grapefruit candies out there.
Simlar to this? Pink Grapefruit TicTacs are as close as it gets, but the chew isn't there. 


Hi-C Ecto Cooler: Remember this? I do! I couldn't think of the flavor so I typed in Hi-C with Slimer on it. Ta da! Ecto cooler isn't even really a flavor, but it was damn delicious!
Simlar to this? Well I'm not a fan of Capri Suns or any other juice boxes nowadays, but I'm sure if this came back I'd drink it. 


Sprinkle Spangles: This was the best damn cereal in the world. 'nuff said. I remember the commercial with Dom Deluise as the genie.
Simlar to this? The only things that I've found that tastes similar at all is Cookie crisp Sprinkles. It's good enough, but it's nothing compared to Sprinkle spangles. 


Surge Soda:  The start of energy drinks. Holy cow remember this stuff? It was good, but sugary and I'm pretty sure it would have rotted the teeth of our youth if it was still around.
Simlar to this?Well I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing that there isn't something similar to this, it was an acquired taste. But there are so many energy drinks out there that taste like soda, that it's quite possible that there are tons similar to Surge. 


Peanut Butter Crisps: These were so good. A little cookie on the outside and yummy peanut butter on the inside. All of this is making me hungry...
Simlar to this?  I haven't found anything with the same tasting peanut butter as these did. Maybe peanut butter wafers are as close as you get. 


Squeezit: Another lunch time favorite. These remind me of being a kid.
Simlar to this? Nothing will ever be the same :(
