You’ve probably felt the pain before. The shock, sadness, and utter disgust that happens when you find out one of your favorite foods has been discontinued. If you could have one wish in the world it would be to just bring that one food back for good! But, alas, companies are stubborn and rarely choose to bring back a lot of beloved foods just for nostalgia’s sake. Here are twenty discontinued foods that gave us that same feeling.
No brand of cheese balls was ever as perfect as these were. They were really the best balls of cheese, and no one will make any that compare ever again.
I remember eating these semi-fruit shaped Trix as a child. I was at my happiest then… but in 2006 they discontinued them forever in favor of a boring, “puff-“shaped cereal. I’ll never be the same.
Apparently there was a Great Food Discontinuation in 2006 (yeah, I’m working on trademarking that one) because Butterfinger BBs also stopped being in production that year. These were like high quality versions of a Whopper, with all the elements of Butterfingers that we LOVE.
These were basically chocolate Pringles (and much more delicious than they might sound). There were so many flavors, too! Apparently promo was bad and not a lot of people knew about them so they were ALSO added to the discontinued foods list in 2006!
Pizza-flavored and even pizza-shaped chips. I don’t know how they managed to fail.
Another one from Planters, these were peanut-shaped and had peanut butter in the middle. What more could you need?
Chocolate cream, crushed peanuts, milk chocolate coating, and a wafer in the middle? These sound HEAVENLY. I can’t imagine why this would go out of style.
You either loved them or hated them (who am I kidding, you definitely loved them). These pudding pies may have looked a little… different with their green “turtle” coating, but they were such delicious snacks.
It might seem like a silly idea, but it was cute nonetheless. Plus, less than $2 for a salad isn’t a bad price.
Basically small Doritos chips that have been puffed up. They looked a little like Bugles if you ask me. I’d kill to get my hands on some.
All I need to say is: FUDGE in the center of a shortbread cookie! How could that have gone wrong? That’s the dream team!
While some of the more prudish people might not agree with this one, everyone who likes a little color and uniqueness in our lives all agree: this one was a pure masterpiece.
It’s not just discontinued foods–drinks need to come back too! Mint and iced tea are honestly the perfect combination, so I seriously can’t believe this one didn’t catch on. They recently brought this flavor back for a limited time, but ultimately it has been discontinued forever.
These pudding-flavored gummies were the bomb! Seems like the type of thing that would sell really well, but apparently there wasn’t enough consumer support, and they dropped the product for good.
It was gum that tasted like Dr. Pepper and had a liquidy center. That is the BEST type of gum out there! RIP Dr. Pepper gum. You deserved better.
Caffeine-free soda AND flavoring packets with tropical, berry and jam flavors! Not sure how this one didn’t stand the test of time.
It’s hard to believe that they would discontinue such a good flavor as this one, especially seeing some of the weird flavors they produce today (I’m looking at you, Jolly-Rancher flavor). It does look pretty similar to the cookies and creme flavor they have today, though, so maybe it tastes similar, too.
Simple chocolate and vanilla cookies with cream inside, but they also had cute little smiling, giggling faces on them! Adorable!
Peanut butter banana Reese’s cups. They were introduced for a limited time in honor of Elvis Presley only to be yanked away from us when we had grown fond of them. Just like the King himself.
Chances are, one or both of your grandparents always kept some of these somewhere around the house, and we all grew to love them.
