What’s a discontinued snack or drink you’d pay $20 to have one last taste of?

Pizza Hut pan pizza from the 90’s.

SOBE Dragon fruit drink .

original Scooby Doo gummies

I liked the Flintstones Push Ups growing up.

Not sure who else remembers these but I miss butterfinger bb's. I swear they tasted better than regular butterfinger.

Kudos Bars! I’d pay $20 to have one more, then probably curb the interest forever after lol

Philadelphia strawberry cheesecake snackbars

Ecto Cooler

You’d think that the companies would start paying attention to these threads after being posted thousands of times. But no, we still don’t have butterfinger bb’s back.

Altoids sours Edit: I appreciate those suggesting retro. But they literally dont include the ingredient that made it sour. Its close but not it. Edit 2: Hyouko shared a link to a store whose products look right. Havent tried it yet but I just ordered tangerine and lemon so I will update.

Choco Taco

Snapple Elements. I loved the Rain and Fire flavors. Meteor was good too.

PB Crisp

The Wonka Bars sold in Blockbuster video in the late 2000s. They were chocolate and graham c****** bits. Huge, delicious, discontinued.

Do McDonald's fried apple pies count?

ShockTarts! 😖

Jello Pudding Pops

Any of the Sobe drinks, especially white pina colada

Old Reese’s.

Keebler Pizzarias

Root beer popsicles with vanilla ice cream in the middle

Original Dunkaroo’s. These new ones are absolutely not the same. But also all of the snacks from the 90’s. I miss my childhood.

Vienette ice cream. The 90’s foods-that-make-you-feel-fancy were incredible.

McDonalds OG fruit and yogurt parfait… so damn good 😩

The old version of Fresca.

Campbell's Fiesta Chili Beef Soup. Ate it all through college and my 20s. I'd add a bag of instant rice and it would absorb all the water and thicken up into a Mexican risotto. Add a ton of RedHot and jalapenos and finish with cheese and sour cream. It was so delicious and c**** and carby and I'd need a nap after wolfing it down. I'm...I'm getting a little emotional here. It was my youth, served in a bowl. Then Campbell's discontinued it. And I've never quite come to terms with their decision. About a year after it disappeared from the shelves I was in a lower-tier grocery store and found like 15 cans on the shelves and, while I'm sure the discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb was a big thrill, this was better. I shoved every can into my cart and felt like I'd pulled off a heist as I ran to my car. I tucked them away in the basement and figured they could last me until Campbell's came to their senses and brought Chili Beef back. It wasn't meant to be. I husbanded my hoard for well over a year, having a bowl here, and then another bowl four months later. I held out a long time. Until the day came when I was down to my last can. I planned on saving it for a very special occasion (the birth of my first child, the dismissal of an indictment, etc). But I had a horrible day at work, I was up for a promotion that I'd worked very hard for and not only did I not get it, I was told in effect that there was no upward path for me. I almost quit on the spot, but instead my supervisor let me take a half day to cool off. I went home in a rage. I was by this time living in an apartment and of course I'd brought along My Precious. And so, to make this really awful day complete, I had my last bowl of Chili Beef. It was delicious. I savored every bite. When it was gone, I felt better. And full. And sleepy. I knew that come the morrow I would be grieving, but that last can fulfilled its destiny in the best possible way. I've scoured the web over the decades for news that Campbell's might bring it back. They never have. Occasionally I'd see info on stores that still carried it, or could order it for you. But these largely turned out to be as reputable as Sasquatch sightings. You can find a dozen sites with posts saying "Here's how you can recreate Chili Beef soup". I don't want to recreate it. I want Campbell's to goddam recreate it. And put it on shelves again so I can buy 50 cans and load them into a safe deposit box.

Surge! Edit: I remember getting the free cd that hyped it up. Listened the c*** out of that. Jimmy eat world was on it.

The real 3D Doritos, not that fake shit they tried bringing back.

Josta. At least I think that’s the name of it. A soda from the 90s and 2000s that had guarana extract.

Anyone remember Orbitz, the clear drink with floating balls in it?

rice crispies cluster cereal 

Snackwell cookies

Peanut Butter Twix

Chex Mix before they ruined it Edit: don't tell me to make it. It's not the same and I can't buy the same pieces

The old airheads

Bennigan’s Monte Cristo.

Reeses swoops

Fruit String Thing. Those were such a treat when I was a kid Also idk why they won’t bring back Sour Starburst EDIT: so apparently people are still buying sour Starburst. Maybe it’s a distribution thing, I haven’t seen them in stores in years 😭 EDIT 2: I found a store that had them and got three bags lol. Gonna hoard that shit like Smaug from now on

Hawaiian Punch, without the new artificial sweetener. It tastes like chemicals to me. The original tastes like childhood. I just want to share it with my kid.

Rice Krispie Treats Cereal. Crazy Calypso chips

those philadelphia cheesecake bars

Bonkers

The product isn’t discontinued but changed Those Royal Dansk butter cookies you know the tins from hosting sewing supplies? They used to come with the most wonderful huge sugar crystals on the pretzel cookie and the finnish bread cookie. They still technically have tiny, fine sugar crystals on top, but they are NOTHING like what they used to be. And no alternative to Royal Dansk I’ve seen still use the great ones. Those butter cookies just aren’t as good as they were 20 years ago.

Apple Newtons

A Mars bar with almonds. I swear it used to come with almonds.

Not a snack or drink but this question made me think of the specific brand of Teen Spirit Berry Blossom deodorant I used to wear, and I really wish I could smell that again.

Doritos, 1970s taco flavor. They have taco now, but it's not the same.

Bawls and a Fruitopia.

Kudos bars

Tato chips

Keebler Pizzeria chips from the 90's

The old ranch/italian flavored Gardetto’s with the little spiral pasta pieces

Vault, red or green. Those were my childhood energy soda days.

Sour altoids

A Chucklin Cherry Squeeze-It. 

Qualudes

SoBe strawberry banana drink

Alpha bits cereal!! My most favorite cereal ever

Cheetos Paws, as they were in the 90s. They did them again a few years ago, but they weren’t the same.

Planters Cheese Balls - the correct recipe, not the wax ones they pawned off on us a decade ago…

Minute Maid Juice Pops

Carnation breakfast bar

I’d pay $20 for a pack of Gator Gum, really just so my kids could experience it.

the flat Cheese Nips shaped like cartoon characters

Coca cola coffee

The original Jello Pudding Pops.

Shocktarts. Blues only though

Nestle had an Alpine (white chocolate) bar that was my FAVORITE thing on earth…. discontinued in the 90’s maybe? I’d sell my soul for a taste of one, to be a 6 year old again in 1988 at a rural gas station in the mountains of NC. With my sisters and giggling, and happy. I’ll try anything that’s white chocolate just hoping it takes me back to THAT place.

The old watermelon Laffy Taffy with the seeds and the color changing Squeeze it drinks.

Where are the Tab people?!

The Zinger sandwich from KFC. Went to a concert in Canada last year and the venue had a KFC concession stand and they had it! I IMMEDIATELY paid the overpriced concession stand cost and it was everything I remembered!

I didn’t even like ecto cooler but I feel like I need closure

Zima.

Crystal Pepsi

a twinkie from the 80's or a honeybun from the 90's

Kudos bar

Welch’s grape soda. That shit probably violates international law with whatever colors it but damn was it good grape soda.

If cereal can be considered a snack I’d bring back OG waffle crisp. It was my absolute favorite growing up and definitely isn’t the same since they brought it back.

McDonald's Apple Pie. The deep fried one

Everything, before the great shrinkflation craze starting around 2000. Corporate greed has ruined EVERYTHING and I'm not tired of complaining about it. Go buy a Double Stuf Oreo pack. It will break your heart 😥

Cinnabon Cereal 😭

Lays made chocolate covered potato chips, and they were absolutely bomb. Tons of really good chocolate on top of a salty ripple chip. Trust.

Rain berry Gatorade. It was the only sports drink I liked during cross country. Whenever I got sick it was my go-to beverage.  None of the berry Gatorade on the market are anything like it.

$20 for a drink? I wanna have the Coca-Cola with the cocaine in it.

I feel like I'm the only person that actually likes Coca Cola Black.

FourLoco original

Coke Zero with Lime. Disappeared at the pandemic.

Mr Phipps Pretzel Chips TMNT hostess pies Jones Juice (Dave was my favorite flavor) Mango Gatorade Edit: how could I forget the original apple cinnamon cheerios with the crags of cinnamon sugar on them?!!
