Products that have disappeared

Swanson tv dinners. Loved their turkey dinner with mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce. I'm surprised they went away. Banquet's similar cheap dinners seem to be doing fine.

this again?

Jello Pudding Pops frozen chocolate treat.

El Paso Mexican TV Dinners. It had beans and Spanish rice and Cheese Enchiladas. I haven't seen those in years.

Farrah shampoo.

Was the bread in the bag OP?

They still make them. I couldn't find the turkey ones specifically on my local Safeway's app, but they still have all the other ones.

The whole company is in Canada now but they distribute to the US.

You had to add your own bread or mashed potatoes.

Sea Monkeys. Dippidy do. Hi Karate'

I remember Datalounge when this thread was only once a twice a year. Not biweekly. But that Datalounge has disappeared.

Sunbeam CoffeeMaster

Faberge Organics Wheat Germ Oil & Honey shampoo and conditioner.

belt machine

Loved those as a kid, OP. My mom would only very occasionally not cook from scratch. But she served those w/mashed potatoes (which I think is the typical selection) when we had them.

Things on my list that have been discontinued:

-Ben & Jerry's "From Russia With Buzz" -Magnum "Infinity" dark chocolate ice cream bars - Panera Bread Portobello Mushroom Panini - Ralph Lauren Safari Cologne -Gucci Rush Cologne -Dior Higher Cologne

I could go on. But I have a bad habit of really liking products or services which inevitably get discontinued.

Apparently, "Sea Monkies" are still a thing, R9. Someone I follow online was gifted those last year, but they're still as much a waste of money as they were fifty years ago. And I'd be remissed if I didn't mention my crush on the "High Karate" guy. Geeky ginger men that can ALSO perform martial arts.?! Be still my groin.

I think the boil in the bag meals disappeared mainly because it was easier to microwave them

Fox fur wrap with head and appendages.

Hand-cranked vibrators

Christian love and compassion

Nacho Cheese Cheetos. Damn, I loved them so much. Bring them back!

Those Keebler soft baked chocolate chip cookies. Reformulated in the early 90s.

I was addicted to those things even though they gave me a raging headache.

Blue Stratos

Caftan eazy-press.

Me and my sister were latch key kids in the early 70s, and after school while my Mama was at work until 6pm, we'd eat those boil in a bag dinners, make quick instant mashed potatoes, open a can of veggies, or put the meat and gravy on French bread with lettuce and tomatoes and eat it like a poboy. They were convenient and delicious! We'd eat in front of the television while we watched reruns of the Brady Bunch and Gilligan's Island...

I have such vivid memories of the boil in bag meals because they were one of the things where we got to pick our own and I always without fail with pick chicken Alan King and we usually serve it over like two slices of torn up white bread. It was the same way with pot pies and TV dinners too. Especially like the pot pies because my mom would have us use a fork to put our initial in the pie to vent it.

Tangerine Lifesavers

Nabisco swiiss cheese crackers and Betty Crocker date bars. Sea monkeys still exist.

I love, Love, LOVE that we periodically get these thread questions here.

Without a doubt, Carnation Breakfast Bars. Chocolate chip was my favorite, but they had so many great flavors.

I saw someone on the Reddit group call this stuff "karma farming," r10. They repeat topics over and over or steal comments from others and make new threads on them, just to get "karma" for their account so it's harder to get FFed into oblivion when they start trolling.

The thread calls for discontinued "products" and almost all the responses are snack foods.

Mooooo, DL! Moooo! 🐮

I always post that one on these threads. Usually gets me tons of WWs.

But lovely Cherry Chiclets does not. I don't think American gays like gum much.

Chicken Alan King?

What, the Don Rickles boil bag was sold out?

R28 it can function that way but sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Just in gays with OCD rehashing the same topics. It IS a kind of contact, "conversation", and people want that and have a right to it.

I'm off now to the WEEKLY All About Eve thread.

Get a gander at that Chicken, Allen King!

The last time I had boil in the bag meals was when I went on an expedition so try checking out camping or military stores if you really want them again.

I wish they'd bring back Aspen, the apple soda. I was hooked on it when I started college is 1978.

Wit and wisdom.

Saturday matinees featuring hi-tech space travel

Does that striped Zebra gum still exist?

R35 that will never ever happen

Jello Chiffon Pudding. It came in Lemon or Chocolate.

I miss these

R38, they still make Fruit Stripe Gum but it’s hard to find sometimes.

R42 That wasn't hard.

r1=Tucker Carlson

^ They don't call him "Fish Sticks" for nothing 😏

Diet Pepsi Slurpees

Those things were delicious, even though they gave me instant diarrhea

Mmm gotta love trash food that instantly flushes all the trash out of you, R46.

Savannah Smiles Girl Scout cookies, discontinued only a few years back.

Le Menu frozen dinners. They seemed so fancy to this gayling, with their plastic plate included.

Hälsa walnut leaves shampoo. Smelled fantastic and got my hair squeaky clean.

Frusen Glädjé.

R49 I used to save the plates from the Le Menu frozen dinners. I was in college and poor

I don't eat fast food anymore anyway, but I'm surprised McDonald's didn't suffer after ruining its French fries. They were so good when I was young. Now I don't even know what they do to them, but they are not very good and as soon as they cool down to room temperature, they become hard and plasticine.

Agree shampoo

Sean Cody’s Calvin.

Dimension shampoo.

Still available on eBay at $100 a bottle.

Wouldn’t shampoo go “bad” eventually?

Dolly Parton hawking Breeze Detergent with a bath towel in each box... Turns out they were about the size of a washcloth 🙄

Space food sticks. I begged my mother to buy some. They were horrible.

Rondo brand pop. It came in what looked like a beer can and i remember it from the early 80s. Brawndo was based on it. Apparently a similar beverage is still sold in Australia

Aveda Light Elements Mist Wax. My favorite hair product ever. I would buy it at my salon until it was discontinued, but for a couple of years I was able to buy leftover stock bottles. I have yet to find another product that I like as much.
