They still have pudding pops. My girlfriend thought they were discontinued too and you cant find them at most grocery stores but the Kowalski's next to my apartment had them and they are in my freezer as we speak...they have a lot of rarer hard to find items now it is peculiar.
Willy Wonka's Bottle Caps (still ocassionally seen in 3 piece wrappers like sweetarts at halloween). I love bottlecaps!...and can't find them.
I remember the "kool-aid" in the expandable container. Jello pudding pops rocked, but I think they got cancelled right along with the Cosby show.

Pizza spins [orange-colored, round, spoked crackers that looked like little wheels] -- I loved them!
No longer made...

I loved getting that stuff in my lunchbox when I was a little kid.
Wouldn't be suprised if they bring it back, companies seem to be cashing in again on all kinds of merchandising from the 80's. *Angrily raises fist at the awful looking new TMNT movie* :thumbsdown:
I think it was Nabisco that used to make shredded wheat in big bricks that'd you have to break up, haven't found that in a long time. That stuff had a better texture and tasted far better than the bite-size mini wheat varieties.
What I really miss though is microwave carmel popcorn... came with a pouch of goo to melt over the popcorn. Sooo gooood. I still find it in Mexico periodically, but not in the U.S. I imagine some idiot burned themselves and sued.
I miss dnL. It was pop that had the 7-up logo turned upside down on the bottle. It was green colored, and the taste wasn't really comparable to anything else out there.

I remember my friend's sister and a box of doo dads. I asked if she would get me the box from the cabinet, and she said "We don't have doo dads, but we have something called spap oop. It looks like the same thing, do you want to try that?" Confused, I went to see what she was talking about. Somebody put the box in the cabinet upside down, and it looked like the box said 'spap oop' due to them using all lower case to spell out 'doo dads'. We called it spap oop ever since then.

Maybe they just don't have Oh's! in Michigan, but I was eating handfuls of them yesterday. Awesome semi-good-for-you snack.

LOL. Yeah, pretty much all of them in Lowell (I think we have about 10) have Fruit Punch & Grape Fruitopia, as well as Powerade. AFAIK, that's the only place to get Fruitopia; haven't seen a bottle of it in years.

That stuff rocked with some Bacardi Orange. Or Stoli Orange. Or Orange Schanpps, Triple Sec, Curacao, etc. I swear that was the PERFECT summertime drink. Oddly enough, the sub shop down the street from work seems to be the only place that has it year round.
Crystal Pepsi and Nintendo cereal. Oh man, those are some memories.
The aftertaste of Gatorade when you've recently brushed your teeth tastes a lot like Nintendo cereal

Discontinued food products that I miss:
Crinkly fries at Carl's Jr (Hardees)
Sourdough Parmesan Cheeseburger (Carl's Jr) - I could have this wrong, maybe Jack in the Box and maybe got the name wrong, but it was summer of 1994 and it was a "limited time" sandwich. I recall it being sourdough bread coated with parmesan cheese, like cheese bread, with a single burger patty, maybe a slice of cheese, finished off with sauteed/carmelized onions between the patty and the top bun. OMG I so wish this was available again because I'd be eating it often, and so wish it wasn't because I don't need the calories. Anyone remember this burger?

Not to toot my own horn but what the hay
....I agree Josta was an awesome drink. I helped design the flavor system (actually one of several) that made up the final beverage. From what I recall and from bits and pieces heard via others involved, Pepsi decided to put the product on the market with virtually no advertising in most areas (maybe a billboard here and there, a half page magazine ad, etc.) and see if it could sprout legs on its own via word of mouth. It's placement in market areas was targeted more towards urban youth. Everyone I ever talked to about it said they liked it but alas I think sales never reached some undisclosed level to keep it viable Anyway, another poster was mentioning the availability of FrankenBerry and BooBerry....wasn't there also a Wolfman character version that was a grape flavor or something (this must be late seventies/early eighties)
Plus, can you still buy the regular old Taco Doritosanywhere?
Jolt Cola (I remember it dissapeared for a while, but now seems to be back)... TAB... Crystal Pepsi was so different when it came out.
Wendy's Smokey Bacon Classic burger now that was dang good... some good memories of a Summer of moving and that burger was din din for a week or two
I recall those purple candies that came in a puck/disc container... you threw one into your mouth, and your tongue, mouth, and teeth turned dark purple... pulled because the dye in the candies was cancer causing :Q

Anyone else remember dairy queen beef nuggets? They sounded horrible but actually weren't too bad. Dick Clark was in the commercials for them, iirc.

Evidently I'm not the only one. There's even a Spacefood Sticks Preservation Society.
