Favorite discontinued grocery items?

Speadables! Delicious potted meat sandwich spreads.

Carnation breakfast bars. Originally I was supposed to have the drinks to help with weight gain as a kid, but I wanted food so my mom bought the bars. Within a few years it vanished from shelves.

R2 I remember those. I loved the chocolate chip ones.

Aunt Jemima Coffee Cake and Corn Bread mixes with the squeezable mixing bag and included baking pan. Auntie herself has gone to baking heaven, of course.

When Lipton Side Dishes first came out they had one called Mushroom in Wine Sauce. It was incredible. I practically lived on it, it was so good. But then all of a sudden it disappeared from the shelves. Never heard why.

Orange Coke. Bring it back, Coke!

DOO-DADS

Brontosaurus burgers

-Neanderthal Eldergay

Aspen soda Myers beef pot pie, and their oyster pot pie. Apparently they still make the chicken one. Marathon bars. Carnation Breakfast Bars King Vitaman cereal

Half of what I buy at Trader Joe’s. I’m not mad, because I get that they have to discontinue things to make space for new things for me to love. But some things they’ve gotten rid of hurt!

Johnsonville Corndogs. They were the best.

R9. King Vitamin! Have breakfast with the King! King Vitamin!

I loved that cereal as a kid. Loved it.

Pudding Pops (Bill Cosby would've eventually ruined them anyway, but I used to love those things.)

Hälsa walnut leaves shampoo

Le Menu frozen dinners that came with their own microwavable plates

King Vitamin is still sold in the USA by Quaker Oats, a Pepsico company.

Ooh, Trader Joes makes this great little salmon frozen meal. Some of their food is scary. Some of it is Loverlyyyy.

Hormel used to have a sausage/hot dog type item called Wranglers. They described them as course ground weiners. They had a cowboy on the package, and were somewhere between a smoked sausage and a hot dog. I enjoyed them as a kid, also after bar, or when high. Alas, they disappeared at least a decade ago - I don't drink or smoke anymore, but every once in a while I get a nostalgia craving for them, the same kind that causes me to periodically eat a Party Pizza or a can of spaghetti-os.

Vienna Dream Bars.

R17 I know this takes some work but these are super easy to make.

R18 Thank you. That's similar, but yes the box was much easier of course.

O'Grady's potato chips: thick-cut, ridged, delicious

Space Food Sticks - especially the peanut butter flavor.

GARDENBURGERS, the best mild-tasting rice-based veggie burgers out there!!! I was actually really upset when my local grocery stores stopped carrying them, and on the Kellogg’s website, I found out the entire product has now been discontinued in the past year or so.

I hate the other brands—they are too meaty for my tastes. Impossible burgers are very fleshy.

I like Morningstar brand. The chickpea ones.

Andes Toffee Crunch Chocolate Thins. Back 30 years ago when they were actually made of chocolate. Here're today's ingredients. Does this sound appetizing?

SUGAR, PALM KERNEL AND PALM OIL, NONFAT MILK, COCOA, LACTOSE, MILK PROTEIN CONCENTRATE, RICE FLOUR, SOY LECITHIN (AN EMULSIFIER), MOLASSES, CANOLA OIL, NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL FLAVORS, SALT, BAKING SODA, COLORS ADDED (RED 40 LAKE, YELLOW 5 LAKE, BLUE 1 LAKE), CORN SYRUP SOLIDS.

Casbah Nutted Pilaf

I LOVED that stuff. GAVE IT A 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 review on Amazon, wrote to the company — all to no avail. Now I hoard Zatarain’s Dirty Rice in case it happens again.

All the nasty artificial ingredients . I remember Eagle brand.

[quote] GARDENBURGERS, the best mild-tasting rice-based veggie burgers out there!!! I was actually really upset when my local grocery stores stopped carrying them, and on the Kellogg’s website, I found out the entire product has now been discontinued in the past year or so.

I love Gardenburgers (original flavor), except I thought they were oats-based (not rice). The size of the patty got smaller a few years ago. A while back, Costco sold them in a 9 or 10-pack (original-size patties).

They became harder and harder to find. I didn't realize they were completely discontinued.

^ I didn't know they were discontinued either.😔

My Kroger discontinued Gardenburger a couple years ago and I'm sad too because I like 'em. Two things, though. Kelloggs' Morningstar (which also owns Gardenburger) has a also has a 'Garden Veggie' flavor. I'm not sure if it's similar

I also discovered a current offer to sell cases of Gardenburgers on Amazon for over $100, which is weird since they're frozen and I'm not in an Amazon Fresh area. Copious amounts of dry ice? Is it old stock still being sold?

Kraft Savory Chicken Dinner. I loved this box of sodium as a kid and occasionally, as an adult, would make it when I wanted comfort food.

These were only discontinued a few years ago, but pistachio Oreo Thins.

TaB. Coke really screwed up when they introduced Diet Coke and left TaB to linger with a following, although small. Wish someone would buy the recipe and manufacturer it again.

What R10 said. Everything you love at Trader Joe's will disappear within a year or less. Hair-trigger marketing.

Kashi Go (original flavor) was briefly discontinued earlier this year, then abruptly reappeared on the shelves. For a few weeks I was eating the Kashi peanut butter or cinnamon flavors. Feh.

Oregon Farms Carrot Cake- it was frozen

I could swear I saw Gardenburgers in our local IGA market recently...

Yum Yums by Sunshine

For r7. I always loved these too. Sadly, the petition only had seven supporters.

Shake a puddin!

My local grocery store had frozen chicken curry pasties that were SO good! So of course they discontinued them, as seems to happen with everything I frequently buy.

r30 You buy the chicken separately, right?

Omg r35, Oregon Farms carrot cake was amazing.

R41. LOL. My mom served this as the starchy side dish with a baked chicken and some kind of green vegetable.

1,2,3 Jello from the late 60's to the mid 70's.

Tunnel of lemon boxed cakes.

Birds Eye Green Beans and Spaetzle...so good.

r46 Thanks for mentioning a BirdsEye frozen vegetable medley, they had one called New Orleans(IIRC) Various beans(string, wax, lima) in a tomato-y sauce. Loved it when I served it with mashed potatoes and pork chops done with the Shake 'n Bake BBQ flavor(also among the missing, I believe)

Another "Harrumph!" at Trader Joes for discontinuing their orange marmalade. Not as bitter as I remember my all-time fave(Chivers) but very good nonetheless.

Way BITD Nabisco had a triangular snack cracker that was loaded with poppy seeds, very tasty indeed. Maybe the price of poppy seeds go too high and they missed their price point? Did their triangle cutting machine break down and no one could repair it?

Boxed cake mix manufacturers "discontinued" about 3 ounces on most, if not all, of their lines. C'mon DH, Betty and Pillsbury, I need those coupla' ounces to make some cookies and bars using your decades-old recipes.

Am I remembering correctly, was it Lipton that used to have a line of casserole-type entrees many years ago? The Beef Stroganoff one was particularly tasty. The box was an odd shape, parallelogram perhaps?

R47 Thank you for mentioning Shake 'N Bake BBQ Glaze. It was incredibly delicious magic!

Uneeda Biscuits

🥲 They've been gone a long time, but here's a picture to remember them by...

Philadelphia cream cheese bars. They were delicious.

Philadelphia cream cheese bars. They were delicious.

R47 Triangle Thins. So delicious with garlic butter.

Marathon bars--they were like a chain of caramel covered in ilk chocolate. Mmm! I miss RC cola. It was cheaper than Coke or Pepsi, and it was more flavorful!

I miss the frozen Tyson meals. They were so good. ALl came with a grilled chicken breast, a past or rice, and a vegetable. Simple and yummy, with good sauces and gravies. Low calorie lunches. Easy to prep.

R54 We still have RC Cola in Chicago.

In the 1990s you could get boxes of dinner helpers that had a bag of herbed or flavored rice, a can of gravy or sauce, and then a bread crumb topping. You'd put the rice in a casserole with 2 cups of water, put your own chicken or other meat on top of that, cover it in the sauce, then top it with the bread crumbs and bake, about 40 minutes. Those were the best. I'm sure it was all sodium.

I think they were Kraft "One Dish Bakes" or something along those lines. They were so much better than the skillet meals you can get.

Celestial Seasonings Emperor's Choice ginseng tea. I was never a big tea drinker, but I loved that one. Seems to have been discontinued because even though it's still on their website, you can't order it.

Le Menu frozen dinners with the indestructible plate.

Reggie Bar

Reggie, you taste pretty good!

The original recipe of Hamburger Helper. I used to love that shit. I recently got it and it tasted like crap.

Yes to the Philly bars, those were insanely delicious and fattening and ohhh my.

[quote] Cake Mix Upsizer - Bring Your Box Mix Back to 18.5 oz

Dutch Mill Apple Cider Donuts ca. 1995

The company is still in business but the donuts are Dollar Store quality since the company was sold years ago.

R37 I don't remember yum-yums but those look a lot like Girl Scouts Samoas, to me.

Breyer's Viennetta

Squeezit "juices"

Butterfinger BB's

Pop Tarts Cereal

Hydrox Cookies

Apple Newtons

Kudos Bars

Dannon Sprink'lin Yogurt/Dessert

Kraft Bagel-Fuls

It was all sugary shit, but fun!

Trader Joe's Chocolate Mint Cheesecake

Stouffers Ham Asparagus Bake

Oregon Farms Carrot Cake

Lean Cuisine Stuffed Cabbage Rolls

Stouffer's Vegetable Lasagna. It was loaded with fatty alfredo sauce, but billed as "healthy" for dumbasses.

Viennetta is back, Baby!

Cheese flavored saltines. So lightly cheesy. Probably Nabisco, but I don't remember.

R44 For those who never knew it: Jello 1-2-3 was a magical kids' dessert: whip it up like regular Jello, pour it into a parfait glass and wait till a three-layered parfait appears. You're Mister Wizard!

Kellogg's Concentrate Cereal

I think it's begin gone over 40 years now, but a couple years ago, I saw that there was still some kind of campaign to try to get Kellogg' to bring it back... lol

Coca Cola that wasn't just Coca in name only.

R71! I had forgotten Concentrate, one of my favorites, because its loss was hard on my grandmother's breakfasts. (And mine, I admit.)

That was some weird, wonderful stuff.

My mother used to buy something called Familia- what you Europeans would call Muesli- It had raw oats , nuts ( probably Almonds) and some dried fruit. My seven year old self liked it. My mother bought at probably at a Health Food store. I doubt the A&P would have sold that stuff back in ca. 1973.

Open Wide for CHUNKY!

If I had a nickel for every chunky I've opened wide for....

R75- I take you you're a bottom that LOVES FAT TOPS.

People in 11 Western states may remember Johnston's Yogurt.

It was the best. None of this Greek kerap.

Mystic Mint cookies (Nabisco)

r62 Thanks so much for posting that video. I'm going to make a batch of that stuff and keep it on hand for future baking.

La Bella Pasta. It was a line that a local supermarket chain here carried in the 1990s, consisting of flavored dry pasta in several varieties, including spinach, lemon pepper, sun-dried tomato, and chili pepper. It was delicious, but then it just disappeared. I miss it.

R79, glad you can use the recipe in the video! They downsize the cake mix; meanwhile, we still have these 9x13 pans.

Cox hot dogs

Kahn’s corn dogs

Does anyone remember Pepperidge Farm Croissant Pizza? I miss it, too.

I do, R84. They were very good.

I miss ‘Abortion on Demand’. It’s only just been discontinued but I miss it already.

Campbell's soup are a shadow of their former acceptability.

Reggie bars were THE BOMB! They were round, and kind like Baby Ruths, only crunchy. My late mother LOVED them!

3rd on Oregon Farms carrot cake- everyone I know loved it, and a second on Stouffer's vegetable lasagna. I do like the turkey Tetrazzini.

i really liked that cinnamon spread done by imperial margarine. i make my own copycat recipe i got online though, it's sooooo good on toasted fresh baked bread or just everyday toast too.

A&P Spanish bar cake.

R89 Is that different from what Stouffers calls "Veggie Lovers Lasagna?" I still see that in stores, and it's listed at their website in both the individual and party tray sizes.

No, not the same in the least.

R92, meant to add they changed the recipe and sauce to make it more "healthy".

R84- I never had nor heard of it but it looks good.

R88- I had Reggie Bars in the summer of 1979 and didn't try Baby Ruth bars until I entered high school in the fall of 1979. I like Baby Ruth bars a lot but I agree I thought at the time Reggie Bars were even better- too bad they discontinued such a good product.

Nabisco Twigs and Nabisco Doo Dads. My favorite snacks.

Also Nabisco Swiss Cheese crackers

Also Nabisco Tid Bits

Mothers Taffy and Peanut Butter Gauchos were so good. I used to bring them back East when I would go anywhere out west. The last time I got them they weren’t nearly so good as I think the company had actually gone bankrupt and was bought by someone else. Didn’t know they’d discontinued them.

That's why Nabisco Premiums now don't taste right, now I buy Keebler Zesta saltines

Tostitos Nacho Cheese flavor

R97- SO MANY eldergays including me mention Doo Dads as one of their favorite discontinued snacks- it wasn't only the peanuts, pretzel sticks, rice chex, wheat chex it was also the tastiest spices Nabisco sprinkled on them. I started a thread months ago about your favorite snacks or sweets from the 1970's and started off the thread by mentioning Doo Dads. I hate when they discontinue such a good product.

Pepperidge Farm snack sticks, I loved the sesame and cheese flavors

The Chef Boyardee Pizza kit no longer gives you the grated cheese. The whole point of me buying it was that cheese, I used to buy the 2 pizza kit and then make just 1 pizza but use both cheese packets.

Chicken is a Biscuit. One of my favorite after school snacks.

r106 they are still made

Tostitos nacho cheese flavor? I don’t remember that at all and I’m a Tostitos (lime flavor) fan.

How did it compare to Doritos nacho cheese flavor?

r108 I remember eating them in the 80's so they go back awhile. They were much better than the Doritos. The nacho cheese flavor didn't taste fake and sprayed on. The texture was better too.

Here's a link to the Nacho Cheese Tostitos

R54 R55 Yeah, I see RC Cola at stores in Southern California as well. I know they have it at Ralphs (Kroger), as well as the Walmart Store. I think I've even seen it at the 99 Cent Only Store.

Mr. Turkey brand Kielbasa. Delicious. Used to buy it at Ralph's in Los Angeles.

Morton's used to have these frozen honey buns that were so good especially after doing bong hits.

R111- Here's a cute period piece from 1972 this was two or three years before the Me And My RC ad campaign- which I remember well and enjoyed.

Stouffer's Harvest Apples aka Escalloped Apples sold in CA. I know they are sold in other states. It doesn't make sense why they stopped in CA.

Brachs Pick-a-Mix

I don't recall the make now, but long, long ago there was a frozen dish of lima beans and little squares of cheddar cheese.

In the oven, the cheese would melt, creating a cheesy veg dish. It was really good! And it meant you could cook the beans without that interfering water.

It vanished long ago, however.

Ben & Jerry's "From Russia With Buzz", KIND Roasted Jalapeño Bars, Cranberry & Sage Triscuits (they were a one-time holiday limited edition), Gardetto's "Chicago Style" mix, Frito's Texas Grill Corn Chips, Marzetti "The Ultimate Bleu Cheese" Dressing (it's the only bottled bleu cheese dressing I wouls use), and Magnum Infinity Chocolate Ice Cream Bars (dark chocolate ice ceam with a dark chocolate ganache swirl, dipped in dark chocolate & cocoa nbs), Sour Starbursts...I could go on. Most of it's junk anyway, but I miss it.

R118- That reminds me- My favorite Ben and Jerry's flavor of all time was discontinued in 2006

Wavy Gravy

Doritos Zesty Salsa white corn chips, restaurant style. I think they may only have been test marketed in DC (maybe elsewhere) in 1992-93. Best chips of all time.

Ben & Jerry's Boston Cream Pie flavor. One of my all-time top three or five flavors. Canceled like they're Trader Joe's.

Ströhmann Apple Sauce cupcakes, as a child in Philly, they were delicious!! Even my "non-DNA evil dad" loved them.

Swanson tv dinners, especially turkey/dressing and something called Swiss Steak I believe. I think they had fried chicken, that was ok... or maybe it was a brand of fried chicken in a box. Great stuff for the very lazy.

Much better than Banquet.

(don't judge)

One of the many casualties of Mondelēz' takeover of Montreal-based Biscuits David.

Keebler Magic Middles Cookies. Bring them back, you cruel elves!!

This seems like such a pre-covid our supply chain isn't fucked thread.

What people won't do to be in denial.

I just wish I could find JIF in the stores again

Still around but Entenmann’s glazed donuts used to be so good but now they’re so banal they may as well be discontinued.

That's true of most Entenmann's products since the family sold the business, which was quite awhile ago, r128.

I don't know what happened to Entenmann's. It used to a quality product, now everything sucks.

[quote]I just wish I could find JIF in the stores again

r127, if you get used to eating natural peanut butter, made solely from real peanuts, JIF, Peter Pan and all the other commercial grade products taste like peanut flavored plastic paste.

Ben & Jerry’s Chunky Monkey at least in the UK.

For those who miss US Marathon bars, Cadbury’s in the UK make essentially the same thing called Curly Wurly. I’m sure you can find them somewhere online in the US.

Speaking of candy no longer made. I miss those Brach’s Pick n Mix Neapolitan coconut squares and Brach’s Jube Jel chicks and rabbits for Easter.

Off topic: lost in translation candy. Smarties in the US are called Fizzers in the UK and Rockets in Canada. Smarties in the UK are sort of like another version of M&Ms. Circus Peanuts in the US (the orange coloured, banana flavoured stale marshmallow thingies) taste exactly like ‘foam bananas’ in the UK which more sensible are at least yellow banana shapes. They come in two sizes: around 2” and mini.

So true, R131.

I saw Jif back today. There were only like 2 jars, and a ton of generic store brand which they NEVER normally have. Where did it come from if they don't normally carry it? They suddenly created generic PB due to the Jif emergency?

Mr. Salty Pretzel sticks.

Entemanns was sold to BIMBO, a Mexican conglomerate - along with Thomas English muffins, Bay's English muffins, Orowheat, and pretty much 90% of the grocery store bread aisle.

It sucks. Next time you go shopping, check the package. Fuck BIMBO..

Birdseye Orange Plus

Kellogg's Danish Go Rounds

I don't remember you FAT hoes! There's plenty to still get from the store. Clearly Canadian/New York seltzer sodas?? They sell them at world market now though. They're not fucking diet though and I'll puke from real soda.

R136, Thanks. Didn't know what happened to Orowheat whole wheat bread. Like Mothers' cookies TPTB kept the name but changed the product. No bueno.

Miss pastel colored Easter Eggs filled with a soft coconut center. Today's hard shell candy eggs don't compare.

I remember the Pepperidge Farm pizza. So good.

Jif was recalled because of salmonella, which is why it disappeared. I'd bought some for the first time since I was a kid, because the store was out of every other kind of peanut butter, then 2 weeks later got an email telling me about the recall. Thus endeth my Jif experience.

Snickers used to make a bar called Crisper, which was similar to Whatchamacallits, and they were really good. Discontinued a few years ago, sadly. I can still get Whatchamacallits at Economy Candy, though.

Mama Celeste made a good pizza too - something about the cheese made it better than Totinos etc .

I used to love the Imperial Romanov Burgers. Made from real Romanovs! Good eats. Unfortunately they had to discontinue the item when they ran out of Romanovs.

PB Crisps made by Planters. They were graham crackers shaped like shelled peanuts with either peanut butter or chocolate inside.

Magic Middles cookies

Fruit Slushes-I think they were on the juice aisle. They were little cups in a pack and you’d freeze them and they turned into an amazing slush.

There was also something my mom would get my sister and me as a treat every so often because they were a little pricey. It was in the ice cream section and I can’t remember if it was a milkshake or sundae, but it was Milky Way and there was ice cream with chocolate fudge and caramel and came in a cup. This was late ‘80s/early ‘90s and damn they were good. Does anyone remember these?

HoJo’s frozen macaroni and cheese and their Toastees blueberry toaster muffins. The best, period.

Yes, R76. How perceptive of you.

Don't forget the Chunky of Color part, too!

Does anyone remember the 7-up chocolate bar? Similar to 7 different bites in a box of chocolates.

How about individual foil wrapped baba au rums? They sold for 25 cents in the 1970's.

R106 They still make Chicken in a Biskit and it's listed as in stock at Walmart's online site.

The Nabisco cookie assortment. It had a little bit of everything in one box. It included the Swiss Cremes, a tastier precursor to the Golden Oreo.

R115 California has all sorts of strange rules regarding agricultural products, especially ones not from their state. Maybe the apples weren't grown in accordance with some weird CA-only law, or the cinnamon is from a country they think we should embargo, or the flour is bleached, etc.

Sprite Remix Berryclear. I could drink my weight in that shit. I also remember Minute Maid apple juice in glass bottles when I was little in the late 90s—tasted so much better than the plastic bottle ones.

I'll go with:

Customer Service.

I can't for the life of me remember the brand names of either of these but:

- Glazed donuts you got from the freezer section and were supposed to pop them in your oven to warm them up. They were heavenly and would melt in your mouth.

- Frozen blueberry corn cake squares that would fit in your toaster. Those were one of my favorite things for breakfast.

These were both back in the 80's.

Looking at this list, it's no wonder we're all so fat.

Another vote for Mystic Mint cookies. Damn, they were good.

And no, the somewhat similar Oreos are not close.

President's Choice Butter Thins

Hey, speak for yourself. I'm not fat. But discontinued products are most likely junk-filled and taste good.

No company ever discontinued vegetables.

[quote]No company ever discontinued vegetables.

They should all discontinue Brussels sprouts.

R154 I was gong to say hot box boys who offer to take your groceries out to your car.

R161 Isn't a hot box when someone either burns down a joint or releases a bunch of farts inside a sealed car?

The Carr's ginger lemon cookies (looked like Oreos) used to be really good. Now, horrible. Not technically discontinued, but not the same.

r162, maybe you're thinking of a Dutch Oven, where you fart under the sheets and then force your partner's head under the covers?

Summer's Eve with dyes and toxins.

R163 Sad to hear; I rather liked those. Did they drastically cutback on the ginger?

R166, IIRC, the cookies seemed smaller and really dry (powdery, maybe). I think it was more of a texture thing, like they had cut back on the butter or fat.

R167 Thanks... still sad to hear. Perhaps they previously contained Palm Oil, and recipe was altered. So many makers of biscuits, cookies, and crackers are trying to cut back or eliminate it.

R155: See R147

Corn (standalone) and blueberry-corn toaster muffins. Howard Johnson's Toastees.

Oh, I just thought of one: Slice soda. It was sooooo good - kind of a soft citrus flavor? Big in the mid-80s

Diet Apple Slice was my favorite, r170.

Campbells Scotch Broth soup.

Whole Foods used to sell Rachel's yogurt—it was good, tart yogurt with unusual flavor combinations like plum-lavender. Shortly after I discovered it, they abruptly stopped selling it; this coincided with a move, and I thought it was a regional difference, but I never saw it again at any whole foods or anywhere. I think it's a UK brand.

This was around 2010. Since then supermarkets increasingly only sell "Greek" yogurt, along with the basically acceptable Brown Cow ("cream on top!"). Dannon has become worthless. Stonyfield has a revolting mucilaginous texture. Then there's a panoply of overpriced yogurts from Iceland and those made from cashew milk or similar. What happened?

For anyone craving old brand sodas, there is a store in LA called Galcos's that stocks many discontinued brands that they have made especially for them. They're not cheap, but they ship.

R173, the company may have failed. Sometimes these small vendors just go kaput.

I used to get a delicious cinnamon raisin mochi and the company just disappeared. No one makes anything like it anymore. i can get white rice mochi, but it’s not the same.

R173, what kind of yogurt do you like? If you like whole milk yogurt, try Mountain High (not the low-fat). IMO, Brown Cow and Stonyfield are pretty similar. I never noticed a bad texture with Stonyfield.

Right now, I'm liking Fage 5%, which is a strained whole milk yogurt. I eat it with honey.

If you like flavors, try Noosa. My favorite flavor is the cherry. Comes in small containers and expensive, though.

Nearly all the regular fruit-on-the-botoom yogurt has gone away. Kroger was making six flavors. They've now cut that to three. One of which I don't like.

I'm not a fan of Greek yogurt at all. Noosa *Australian" yogurt is okay, but nothing I want all the time, plus it's overpriced.

Dannon supposedly still makes seven fruit-on-the-bottom flavors, but they're nowhere to be found.

Top Shelf meals by Hormel. The beef ribs were amazing.

Top Shelf meals by Hormel, especially the beef ribs. Amazing.

Whitney's yogurt. It was the creamiest, most custardy yogurt I've had to this day, and the fruit on the bottom was thick and luscious. No idea why it went away.

Op we have those taffy cookies in some Smart & Final’s in California

R180, I LOVED Whitney’s lemon yogurt. The Skyr lemon yogurt is super creamy. Try it, you might like it.

If you like the old-school Dannon fruit-on-the-bottom, you can mix plain whole-milk Dannon or Stonyfield with a good fruit preserve. Bonne Maman is decent quality. There’s a watery tart brand called Erivan that is actually like what yogurt started out being, what I remember from the 1970s. Sometimes it’s refreshing to eat a spoonful or two of that stuff, even though I hated it as a kid.

Thank you, R182! I'll check those out!

Stouffers Lobster Newburg

Entenmann's Louisiana Crunch Cake

There was also a delicious Entenmann's danish with walnuts and icing; my grandmother always kept one around. My mother didn't allow us to have sweets, so I loved having that at Nana's house.

R184, Entenmann’s used to be so delicious. Their Louisiana Crunch Cake was heavenly. I’d save the crunchies for last. Now I see them and there are hardly any crunchies sprinkled on the top. Back in the day, the cakes were positively encrusted with them. I loved the Cherry Cheese Danish, too, full of plump cherries. The last time I got it (years ago), it was just some gummy red stuff with about two cherries per cake. Awful.

[quote]Entenmann's Louisiana Crunch Cake

I'd forgotten about those, I used to get them regularly in the 1990s. Haven't seen one in 20 years. The cherry cheese danish doesn't have even 2 measly cherries anymore, unfortunately. Entenmann's just tastes like Hostess now.

R155, was it Morton’s frozen donuts? They also made honey buns which were so freaking good.

All those Nabisco crackers haven’t been the same since they took the transfats out.

Piccadilly Circles. They're a hot heart meal, on an English muffin!

As ever, Ideal Peanut Butter Bars, accept no substitutes. Haven't seen them in so many years.

Entemanns was ruined when BIMBO bought it, just like they ruined Thomas' English muffins, Orowheat bread and every other brand they bought. Fuck that Mexican conglomerate.
