I really liked these. The noodles were thicker than most and the flavor was somewhat unique. I used to let them soak for an additional 15-20 minutes to let the noodles really plump up, then put them back in the microwave to reheat them.

Whoever was responsible for discontinuing the greatest food product to ever (or that will ever) grace the Earth should have gotten the death penalty. All offspring of said individual should have received the same fate for good measure.
Those were pretty good.

Burger King had hot dogs for about six months, and they were really damn good. Nice change of pace if you visit there frequently.

...
I tried their hot dogs 3 different times because I just couldn't believe how terrible they were. I thought they'd make it right the next time.

Nope. Worst fucking thing ever.

I'm not picky when it comes to hot dogs, but the only worse hot dog experience I ever had was at an Atlanta Braves baseball game. I tried, but I just couldn't finish it.

Tombstone pizza. Apparently they're not discontinued nationally but I can't get them around here any more. I know they're not good in the grand scheme but I have fond memories of them from childhood, when they were better than pretty much any other frozen pizza.

I'm going with the Taco Light, from Taco Bell!!! Loved these things back in the 80s. Bigger flour tortilla shell, double meat, sour cream. Looking for a picture I find there's been petitions to get it back, and groups loving it. A facebook group even

Mister Vickie's potato chips; they came in "hot stuff" flavour only and they were incredible.

O'Ryan thick cut sour cream & onion potato chips. Also amazing.

Can't find those types of flavours anywhere anymore. Also can't find pictures of them...

Miss Vickies is still available here on the Best Coast. I like the salt 'n vinegar. Edit: oh wait, there was a Mister, my bad.

I miss Clearly Canadian too and the whole Seltzer craze from the 90's.

Apparently the Mister Vickie's line was from Miss Vickie's, started around 1990. I'm guessing the more manly BBQ and hot flavors. Miss Vickies was purchased by Frito-Lay in 1993.
