When we revisited 41 discontinued foods that left a Tid-Bit-shaped hole in our hearts, it was clear people had plenty more to share. From forgotten flavors of familiar favorites (wowza, check out that alliteration) to completely original creations, BuzzFeed Community user comments were another delicious trip down memory lane. So, we’re diving even deeper into the pantry of the past with 36 more beloved foods that disappeared without a trace (and honestly, we’re still not over it).
1.
“Buitoni Toaster Pizza! They were round pockets filled with sauce and cheese that came frozen, and you popped them in the toaster to heat them. This was a perfect after-school snack.”
2.
“Fizzies. Loved dropping those tablets into ice-cold water and creating a yummy fizzy drink. Especially the root beer flavor! In addition, we drank them out of those colorful aluminum glasses. It made the icy cold experience even better! No Fizzies or aluminum glasses any longer. SAD.”
3.
“One thing that I truly miss from my ’90s childhood: Rice Krispies Treats cereal! It was so good!”
4.
“Hydrox sandwich cookies! So much better than Oreos. “
5.
“Shake-A-Puddin’. Came with an orange plastic cartoon-like ‘person’ unscrewed in the middle to add the dry pudding mix and milk. Screw it back together and shake, and after a minute open and you have properly mixed, ready-to-eat pudding (in theory; there were usually lots of dry powder lumps). The jingle went: ‘Shake, shake, shake. Shake, shake, shake. Shake-a-puddin’. Shake-a-puddin’.”
6.
“I miss Bar None candy bars. I used to ‘unleash my chocolate beastie!'”
7.
“Munch ‘Ems. They were little hexagon-shaped crackers, and the ranch flavor was amazing.”
8.
“The only answer is the Peanut Butter Boppers.”
9.
“The Mars candy bar. The company now has a product like it, but it’s not the same as the original one.”
10.
“Social Teas by Nabisco.”
11.
Drake’s full-sized Ring Dings. They came out with Ring Ding Juniors, which eventually became Ring Dings, and the original, larger, individually wrapped version disappeared.”
12.
“Fortified oat flakes! It was so delicious, not too sweet, and had a very specific flavor we’ve never been able to find since.”
13.
“A soft drink, around the time that Mountain Dew premiered, called Kickapoo Joy Juice.”
14.
“Sara Lee Frozen Banana Cake.”
15.
“Little Debbie Banana Twins.”
16.
“Nabisco Marshmallow Sandwich Cookies!”
17.
“Meatloaf sauce — it came in a can, and all you had to do was dump it into a pound of ground beef, and it made the absolutely most delicious meatloaf ever with no extra seasoning!”
18.
“Devil’s food cookies. You can still buy them, though they are not made the same way… The old ones were just the cake filling dipped in a very thin layer of marshmallow and then in a thin layer of chocolate.”
19.
“Crazy Cow (chocolate and strawberry).”
20.
“Willy Wonka Oompas.”
21.
“Cinnaburst and Mintaburst gum.”
22.
“Australian Toaster Biscuits.”
23.
“Kraft Chicken Noodle dinner.”
24.
” Butterfinger BBs. Way better ratio of chocolate to inside, and they didn’t make a mess.”
25.
“Morton’s frozen honey buns!!!”
26.
“Ocean Spray cranberry raspberry hard candy. It was around sometime in the ’90s and gone too soon!”
27.
“Moola Koola by Borden’s. The slogan was ‘soft drink that tastes like a cow!'”
28.
“Juice Squeeze — Grapefruit, wild berry, and there was also an orange one… Best soda I’ve ever tried. Rip Crystal Geyser.”
29.
“Koogle Peanut Butters.”
30.
“Chicken Tonight was a big hit in our house in the early 1990s. They had several varieties of this sauce for skillet-cooked chicken, but Country French was the best. “
31.
“Orange sugar-free Bubble Yum. It was the best! It was around in the late ’70s/early ’80s. Not sure when it went away.”
32.
“Grape Lifesavers. They used to come in a pack by themselves. Haven’t seen them in the US since the mid-’80s. A friend found some on a trip to Canada about 25 years ago, but I don’t know if they’re available anywhere now.”
33.
“Stouffer’s Corn Soufflé. It was excellent as a side dish or for dinner with a salad.”
34.
“Rothschilds butterscotch. They had a toffee and chocolate as well. I thought the butterscotch was the height of sophistication as a kid.”
35.
“Stouffer’s Welsh Rarebit.”
36.
“Banana flips, a vanilla cake taco filled with artificial flavored banana cream. So artificially flavored, and so good.”
