As I sit here munching on a re-issue bag of Taco Doritos I thought about some of the foods I used to enjoy but can't get anymore. Here are a few of them:
1 - Nacho Cheese crunchy Cheetos
2 - Old school McDonald's fries (pre-1990 fried in beef tallow)
3 - Even older school McDonald's steak sandwich
4 - Ben & Jerry's Cool Britania (vanilla bean ice cream with fresh strawberries and fudge covered shortbread cookie pieces)
5 - Pretty much any pre-HFCS soda
Anyone have their favorites to share? Discuss.
Ooh, I remember a thread like this.
Crystal pepsi!
Baskin Robin's Daquire (sp?) Ice (was more of a sorbet than an ice cream)
Mr. Salty pretzels. When everyone else was "Low Sodium" and "No-Salt" this guy came out and said "make the beast with two backs You!! I'm Mr. Salty!!!!"
Tato Skins by Keebler.
Wiki says you can still get them, but I haven't seen them since Keebler stopped making them.
Planters Cheese Balls

Cherry lemon lime. :'(
Oh, I also want Booberry, Frankenberry, and Count Chocula cereal. I know it's available in some markets during Halloween, but I have not seen them in 20 years.
Oh, and Stroh's beer which I can't get in NC....

My beagle (RIP) got her head stuck in one of these cans many years ago and we had to drill holes in it so she could breathe then dad had to cut it off her head.

batman cereal (the one that came in the black box, and a was a tie-in with the first movie).
ecto-cooler hi-c.
McDonald's fried apple pie.
Quackers.
Original Coke.
I loved those Planters cheese balls. And the build up that you get when you eat a lot of them that sort of smoothes out your tooth ridges.

I created a mixed drink years ago based on Ecto that I called 'Murk'. Mix (roughly) equal parts Ecto Cooler, Squirt pop, and gin. The result was a pale green liquid you couldn't see through (hence the name). You could burn the shit out of it and never taste it. [evil]

You can still get coke made with PCS (imported from Mexico) it is usually in the import isle at the grocery store with all the mexican food. In mexico HFCS is not used in the manufacture of sodas.
Jones company used to make sausages that had bacon bits in them.

The Dr Pepper bottling plant in Dublin, Tx uses PCS. "Dublin Dr Pepper" is available online but I haven't ordered any yet. Unfortunately the mexican Coke doesn't seem to make it's way to upstate NY. Also available online.

The town where I went to college was about 10 miles from Dublin, TX. I drank a lot of the dublin Dr. Pepper, but now I have trouble switching back to the regular kind. Luckily, with corn prices shooting through the ceiling, the Dr. Pepper bottling company has various "old style" soft drinks coming out, all made with cane sugar. In some of the stores around here (N. Texas) you can find big red, the dublin DP, and 7up all made the old way with can sugar
It's lovely ;D

we buy this locally made soda now and then that uses cane sugar. the taste is remarkable. they make a birch beer that is awesome.

Those are not it. I found those when I searched too. They were just regularly shaped marshmallows that were blue and I think were supposed to be blue-berry flavored.
Caffrey's Irish Cream Ale...sigh.
still made, but no longer distributed in the US. whenever someone i know goes to britain i make them pick me up a case.
Beverage - Almond Smash (a soda). Watney's Red Label (beer)
Food - Marathon Bar. Seriously is there a food out there than cant be made aside from processed snacks and candy?

I think the drive would cost me that same in gas as the cost of a bottle on ebay. Thanks for the offer [thumbsup]
You are probably right. I did drive to Waukesha last year to pick up my bike tho. Long way out there, but felt even longer driving back with the bike in the back of the truck :)
