Awesome food products that were discontinued

[clamum]

They still have Livewire here at the gas stations.

I liked those Buffalo Wings that McDonald's had for a short time.

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.

I have seen livewire for sale since it was introduced back in 2003. Was it discontinued in some places?

Ecto Cooler /thread

This stuff was truely awesome... colored green, tasted orange. How can you get any better? Plus this was the time when slimer was king and the Ghostbuster rocked hard. I would love to have this childhood treat back

From Wiki

Ecto Cooler was product tie-in with the movie Ghostbusters. Hi-C struck a deal in 1984 to promote the movie by developing a drink. Expected to last only as long as the movie, the drink was successful beyond expectations and continued to be produced for the better part of two decades. The Ecto Cooler box featured the Ghostbusters character Slimer, as did the commercials. Slimer left the box sometime around 1997, but Minute Maid did not discontinue the product until 2001, at which point it was renamed Shoutin' Orange Tangergreen. Slimer was replaced on the packaging by a similar-looking blob of lips. Excepting the flavor, the only other unchanged aspect of the product is that it is still being noted as ecto cool on many store receipts.

In 2006, Shoutin' Orange Tangergreen was renamed Crazy Citrus Cooler.

Ecto Cooler is also the nickname of an alcoholic drink that is made by mixing a lemon-lime powder mix with vodka, sugar, water, and ice. [1]

Because of popular demand, mega retailers such as Walmart and Target have agreed to begin restocking this product as of March 2007.[citation needed]

I really want proof of that last claim... I f'n loved ecto cooler and if it comes back I may die.

Do they still make Tato Skins chips? Loved those when I was a kid.

my kids had some bacon cheddar tater skins chips yesterday

 

[theLION]

Well the ones that came to mind that people already said were:

1. those pizza chips, "Pizzarias" (i LOVED these)
2. Ecto-Cooler (drank it soo much i kinda got sick of it, but i still miss it)

But the one i remember and would like to try again were those Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Pies!! Remember those, it was like green and had vanilla pudding inside?

Oh my, one weekend i just want to sit back, relax, and eat some Pizzarias, drink some Ecto-Cooler and have some TMNT pies for dessert.

I don't know if they have them under the Tato Skins name anymore, but you can get something similar marketed under TGI Friday's Potato Skins. They have a bacon cheddar and sour cream I beleive.

They are addictive little buggers.

Here in SE Michigan (all I can attest to) they still have Tato Skins, under that name, as well as the TGI Friday's Potato Skins.

Although I've only seen the named "Tato Skins" in small "single serving" bags. The "TGI..." variety are avaialble in big bags... at least at Sam's Club.


One I remember that is now gone was the Marathon Candy Bar.

mighty wings from McDonalds and the old skinny fries from KFC. before the wedges.

 

[CptObvious]

I loved Rax roast beef sandwiches as a kid, until they filed for bankruptcy and pulled out of Florida.

I used to buy a bottle of that for my train ride home after work in the summer when I worked downtown. They even had a website which is now used by the travel Orbitz people.

Lots of good memories in this thread. My 2 cents:

Bonkers (fruit chew candies)
