I read this in Serious Eats today and sorely missed Keebler Tato Chips and fried McDonald's Apple Pies: http://tinyurl.com/6a6llx

Dude, Tato Skins... they were so good. They're still KIND OF around in vending machines, as TGI Friday's Potato Skins. We get them in our snack box here at work. But they only come in one flavour, I think.

I miss Keebler's tortilla chips. CHACHOS. I still remember the jingle, sadly.

Smurfs Cereal.

Dunkin Donuts cereal too.

Ecto Cooler

i miss real trix. the new trix that's shaped like different things is icky.

Taco flavored Doritos - mmmmm, I miss those. And I can't seem to find succotash anywhere anymore. I'm sure there are others that I will think of later.

NINTENDO CEREAL SYSTEM

Those swedish square chocolate candies. I think they were called "Ice Cubes". My Mom used to get a whole jar of them from Costco. They had a cute bear on the front. I remember eating them with my grandpa and screaming "GO DODGERS"! Because he was a Dodgers fan and my parents were bigtime Giants fans. Ah sweet childhood. Ah sweet chocolate. I miss my grandpa now.

princess peach soda

so awesome.

i thought they still made flamin hot cheetos.

Chocodiles, Ecto Cooler, Hostess TMNT Pies

chocodiles are still around

koala yummies. i think they're still around under a differnt name.

hells yeah

Crystal Pepsi. Right now.

iawdrawkward

no more cheese balls? really? *sadface*

They don't make the cheese ball puffs in the cans anymore, and it REALLY bums me out because my grandmother always, always, ALWAYS had those at her house. I always want to get a can of Planter's when I'm missing her, and they don't seem to exist anymore! Ugh!!

If you seriously want your Planter's Cheez Balls (I never thought I'd have to type that in a sentence, btw), you ladies should probably take a gander at this: http://www.petitiononline.com/cheez123/petition.html

@emily: My mom used to buy them for me when I was growing up... totally reminds me of her and takes me back to my childhood! :)

@navin, re: chocodiles: Last I checked, they were only being made in 1 plant, and you had to special order them by the case. I haven't seen 'em in years on a store shelf.

the horribleness of cincinnati could be a factor in that, though.

@Triangles: Hahaha... Thank you! I totally signed it. Oh, and I LOVE the comments of the other people who have signed.

"bring them back - because you are depriving my children of a cheesy childhood!"

@bizzchelle: omg, I did not even see that quote! Ha!!

btw, does anyone out there remember Freshen Up, the gum with a liquid center? I thought it was discontinued but found it recently and it was definitely NOT as good as I'd remembered it. It had the staying power of a virgin male and is nothing compared to recent gums like Stride.

@phro: WHICH EXPLAINS WHY I LOVE IT!

This is kinda related... I came across this site about a year or so ago, and it has tons of novelty candy/snacks that are sometimes hard to find (but not discontinued, to my knowledge).
