Gator Gum is all that comes to mind. But it's been replaced by maple-flavored ham jerky... mmmm.

Fruitopia?

Maybe they still make it, but I can't find it anywhere in eastern Tennessee...

Have you checked out Vault? It's the same formula as Surge, repackaged under a new name. One of the best days of last year was my first drink of it. :p

Fruitopia is still very very big and strong here in Canada. I don't drink it anymore though, it was bought out by all the big corporations and now they make a cheaper/more sugary version of it. Before when it first came out it used to come in the big glass jugs and the juice was real. Now it's just pure sugar, you can buy it frozen in the supermarket.

Lots of McDonalds fountains have it, I know for a fact that the McDonalds on 56th and Fowler in Tampa has at least one flavor in there, because when I got to the fountain I was all "WTF? FRUITOPIA?"

They weren't frosted unlike the stupid 'strawberry delight' crap out there now and they had smuckers filling... mm. Why did they pull these? :(

Third, I don't have a name for and I'd really like if someone could come up with a name/picture of it for me. It was a drink mix that you made yourself inside an accordian looking cylinder that pulled up to make the drink. Does anyone remember this one? I swear people tell me I'm crazy when I reference it but I know someone out there will remember.

Any other stuff you guys miss?

I remember both those! Loved those mini wheats. I can't remember the name of that drink, but I remember it, they were from back in like the very early 90s, weren't they?

Are they still just marketing that as a Summer item?

wikipedia indicates that it is still marketed, and that it is best found in gas stations and convenience stores.

i'm wondering if the bottler in my area carries it.


edit: bottler in my area says they don't carry it anymore

There were three I came up with that I really wish were still made or that I could find again.

'Giggle Cookies' which were weird oreo like cookies with faces in them and the creme center made up the face that was punched out of the outer cookie. These things were amazing, I'd love to find out why they were pulled.. wish I still had some.

Oh how I miss Mt. Dew Livewire.

Something that hasn't been brought up yet. Buzz Lightyear cereal, it was called Buzz Blasts. It was so amazing and probably one of my top 3 favorite cereals. It was sadly replaced by "Mud and Bugs". Both from Kelloggs.
