They were both delicious. Bought up by Coke and discontinued. Gotta have that high fructose corn syrup dontcha know? I gave up soda long ago.

21. I agree with you, marble falls. I liked Hydrox Cookies.better then Oreos,

[nuxvomica]

9. Buitoni Instant Pizzas and Nabisco Ideal Bars

You cooked the little cheese and sauce pizzas in a toaster and they were incredibly tasty with a perfect pastry. Ideal bars were considered cookies, had a crumbly peanut butter core and were covered in dark chocolate. We kept them in the refrigerator because the chocolate melted so easily that they were not sold during hot weather months.

I miss them both dearly.

[debm55]

22. Thank you very much, nuxvomica. They sounded good.

[stopdiggin]

It was caramel covered with chocolate in a long lattice.

[surrealAmerican]

62. I loved those as a kid...

... used to put them in the freezer because they'd melt as you ate them - very messy, but delicious.

[SWBTATTReg]

19. Enchiritos at Taco Bell

They quit making them years ago, one of my favorites at TB

[Coventina]

20. Trader Joe's Habanero & Lime Salsa

[Easterncedar]

27. I bought Ovaltine last year. Is it really gone?

Still made, but in the US it is made by Nestle and otherwise it's made by a British company.

[debm55]

30. My store doesn't sell it anymore.

[Easterncedar]

35. I bet you can order it

There's a specialty cookware and wine shop owned by an English guy in Bath, Maine. I got Horlick's there recently. Similar to Ovaltine.

[Polly Hennessey]

47. I can buy it at Safeway here in California.

I have two canisters sitting in my cabinet. Love it with some chocolate chip cookie 🍪 🥛

[debm55]

48. Oh , Thank you , Polly Hennessey. We don't have Safeway here. Some have mentioned Giant Eagle and Cosco.

[Keepthesoulalive]

31. Figurines!

I've even written a letter to Pillsbury begging them to reissue--and I'm not alone! There's a Figurine advocacy group out there.

[debm55]

36. Thank you for sharing with us, Lulu KC. Keep writing.

[Keepthesoulalive]

38. I feel your pain

Lecters used to have a whole section dedicated to the dough boy.

[Easterncedar]

32. Carnation Instant Breakfast

Chocolate malt was my favorite. You reminded me, Deb, mentioning Ovaltine.

Maybe Instant Breakfast still exists? I haven't looked for it for 50 years! Hah!

[debm55]

39. As a working mom.I would have a Carnation Instant Breakfast, before taking the toddlar to daycare and going to school,

I didn't know they stopped selling. I really liked them and Ovaltine.

[nuxvomica]

41. It's now called "Breakfast Essentials"

I add it to my post-workout smoothie. You can find it in the cereal section of the supermarket.

[debm55]

44. Oh thank you very much, When I am able to get out of my house(snow) and go shopping, I 'll look for it under it's new

name.

[Easterncedar]

60. Thanks!

[generalbetrayus]

43. Carnation Instant Breakfast is still around. My girlfriend puts the chocolate powder in milk most mornings.

Costco has it in Costco-sized amounts. Kroger stores also sell it.

[debm55]

45. Thank you very much, generalbetrayus.

[boonecreek]

34. Canfield's sodas.

Especially Cherry Ola Cola.

[debm55]

40. Thank you very much, boonecreek. Sorry.

[Diamond_Dog]

42. I buy Ovaltine all the time!

My local Giant Eagle carries it.

I miss Post Oat Flakes. I loved a bowl of Oat Flakes for breakfast with fresh raspberries.

[debm55]

46. Thank you very much, Diamond_Dog. Is the Giant Eagle in the Pittsburgh area?

[Diamond_Dog]

51. Yes! They are all over Pittsburgh.

If you Google “Giant Eagle Pittsburgh area locations” there are about 25 of them.

[debm55]

53. Thank you Diamond_Dog. I shop at Giant Eagle in Elizabeth, PA. I will have to do a good search.

[ProfessorGAC]

50. Ovaltine Is Available Around Here

The website shows Walmart has it, too.
So, you don't have to miss it!

[debm55]

54. Thank you very much, ProfessorGAC. I'll just have to do a better search.

[johnp3907]

52. O'Grady's potato chips.

[debm55]

55. Oh sorry, johnp3907.

[GreenWave]

56. Root beer koolaid.

Bosco brings tears to me.

[SheltieLover]

57. Regal Crown Sour Cherry candy.*

Both Walmart & Target sell Ovaltine and Bosco! Deb!

Enjoy!

On edit. Regal Crowns are avail online, but are not the same. They taste like cough drops. 😓

[Nittersing]

58. The original Special K.

It used to be shaped in little cups, kind of like orecchiette pasta.

[3catwoman3]

59. Trader Joe's Champagne Pear Vinaigrette slad dressing...

...with gorgonzola cheese - best dressing I've ever had. I'd add fresh pear pieces, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries and sometimes pomegranate seeds to the greens - deeeeeeeeeeeee-licious!

https://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images;_ylt=AwrirdlK4HdpGwIAghdXNyoA;_ylu=Y29sbwNiZjEEcG9zAzEEdnRpZAMEc2VjA3BpdnM-?p=trader+joe%27s+champagne+pear

My only complaint with Trader Joe's is that they have often discontinued many of my/our favorite products. This has happened at least 8 times with things we like, to the point where my husband and I have kidded around that if we like something, that will be the kiss of death for that product at T Joe's.

The Litehouse company makes a very similar dressing that has proven to be a worthy substitute, but the store where I was getting it stopped carrying it. The customer service desk said it had been discontinued. I called the Litehouse company to ask about this, and was told that they do still make it, and that any store that carries Litehouse products should be able to place a special order for me. I'm going to try this. If true, I might order 12 bottles so I don't run out.

[debm55]

64. That's the way to go , 3catwoman3. It does sound delicious.

[MIButterfly]

61. Mott's chunky apple sauce.

Several years ago, they stopped selling it at Kroger so my mother and I would buy the Kroger brand, which wasn't bad at all. A few weeks ago, I was in the mood for some applesauce and I looked on Mott's website to see where I could buy the chunky and it wasn't listed. That explains why Kroger didn't have it.

[debm55]

65. So sorry MIButterfly. But you found a close second. Too bad you Kroger's discontinued it.

[bobalew]

63. Ramona's Weenie roll

It was a chili dog burrito, but when the son took over the business , he discontinued many good items, and reduced quantity & quality....

[debm55]

66. Thank you very much, bobalew. That sometimes happens when the business changes hands.

[dickthegrouch]

67. Callard & Bowser Liquorice toffee

(British)
Very sticky toffee which had a nasty habit of pulling my crowns off.
McVities fruit pies - individual sized fruit pies with the best pastry tops ever. Blackcurrant was my favorite, with raspberry and apple a close second.

[debm55]

70. Thank you very much for sharing with us, dickthegrough,

[Rizen]

68. Chicken karaage and cob salad.

Both from trader Joes. They were discontinued.

[debm55]

71. Sorry to hear that.Rizen. Thank you for sharing with us.

[hydrolastic]

69. La Victoria "Ranchero" salsa

Sadly, last year went missing. it was the best.

[debm55]

72. Sorry, hydrolastic..I sounds great. I wonder why it was missing..
