Snack Foods We Miss

[The 5th Golden Girl]

Don't you just hate getting a craving for a certain snack food only to find that its been discontinued?

Well, this is the thread for you. Please post the snack foods (or foods in general) you miss.

Tonight, I got a craving for a something I didn't even know the name of. I knew it was a cheese puff that came in a can. Every Google search I tried with "cheese puff" or "cheese ball" came up with recipes for things Bree Van De Kamp would bake for parties.

I thought long and hard, and I finally remembered the can the cheese balls came in had the peanut guy with the top hat, monocle, and cane. Then I had to try to remember HIS name. I typed in "peanut Mr." which brought up "Mr. Peanut" and Planters Peanuts. Yes! This was it. I typed in "Planters Cheese Balls," and what do I find?

They've been discontinued. Grr, all that work for no pay off. I could have thrown my computer out the window.

Another food I really miss is Kentucky Fried Chicken's (before they were just known as KFC) Chicken Littles. These were just generic chicken patties on a soft, small bun with a dab of mayonnaise and a slice of pickel. They were just delicious, and I know it sounds like it would be easy to create your own, but it's not. I think the bread and chicken Kentucky Fried Chicken used is what really made the Chicken Little soooooo good, and they were cheap, too (I think my Mom told me they were 50 cents).

McDonalds Pizza

It was actually quite good for a fast food burger place that attempted to make pizza

Good call, I thought their pizza was very tasty. Remember the McRib sandwich? I haven't seen those in years. :shy:

Guess what's coming back next week...the rib sandwich. Guess who ain't gettin' one! You damn right you not gettin' one, cuz I got that shit on lockdown! Anybody wants any WacArnolds, they got to come through me! I'm Calvin around this motherfucker!

[sCabbOy]

The shit I miss, is still around the south and I only get to enjoy it when I go there or have it shipped to me. This snack is boiled peanuts and I love and miss them!

[DavidDunn]

Hmm... I can get into this.

Brach's Rocks Candy
Mountain Dew Pitch Black II
Hardees' Big Chef Burger
Hardees' Western Bacon Thickburger (the epitome of all sandwiches)
Burger King Rodeo Burger
Pepsi Blue
Kroger-brand Frookies (sugar-free cookies)
Gum Credit Cards
Gum Videotapes
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Pudding Pies
Big-K Grapefruit Soda (same as Fresca, but way tastier)

I could go on forever. I'm just like Homer Simpson when the Krusty Ribwich was discontinued. I fucking freak out on the first store clerk that tells me of the product's death.

[The Taff]

Wrigley Airwaves Gum.

I chewed it a shit ton in Iceland. It's not readily available in the states. It was like cough drop gum. I loved the cherry flavor...

:( But I want one. Pu-leeeeeeeze!!!!! :cry:

[The Dream Master]

Dunkaroos were one of my favorites, and they've been gone for quite a while.

I was also a fan of the McDonald's pizza.

[Kat]

Anyone else miss Orbitz it was like this fruity flavored drink with little jello floating balls in it? I loved that shit. Also, Crystal Pepsi...

[Autobotsdie]

Dominos had this cheese brger pizza that tasted to me alot like the cheese burger you would get from McDonalds and they discontinued it.

[Ron]

Not sure if there still around, but Little Caesar's breadsticks come to mind..

[The Dream Master]

Crazy Bread? That's still around, bro.

[Ron]

Thanks..you don't know how much you just made my day:)

[The Dream Master]

Crazy bread makes every day a little bit better.

[D-Lo]

I miss the KMX energy drink and Taco Viva.

[Kat]

Chicken Tonight. They don't have this in Canada any more. It was good sauce/spice stuff. Is it still around in the states or any other part of the world?

[Titan]

I remember the Orbitz drink. That was actually the first thing I thought of when opening this thread. They used to have a pretty cool website to.

[DavidDunn]

Is Church's Chicken still around? Our Church's got converted into a fuckin' Taco Bell. As much as I enjoy a good Carne Asada steak Grilled Stuft Burrito, biscuits covered in honey and extra crispy to the third power chicken kick the crap out of anything.

[BlakeTyner]

I don't recall if I ever ate it, but didn't their commercials used to have a jingle that went "I feel like chicken tonight, like chicken toniiiiight"? If it's still around in the states, I haven't seen it.

Church's is still around, at least here. My mother loves it, but I'm not a real big fan. We have this convenience store called Gary's that does the best fried chicken ever, but it's pretty spicy and full of grease and I dig that. :)

~Blake

[The Dream Master]

Church's is still around here, too, but I haven't been in years.

I usually only ever get fried chicken from a local place around here. It's excellent because their chicken apparently isn't mutated by steroids (as is the case with KFC).

Chicken Tonight is a Unilever brand (launched in the US in 1992 and the UK and Australia in 1993) of sauce that is added to chicken pieces in a skillet, available in flavors such as Apricot Chicken, Mustard Chicken and Thai Green Curry Chicken.

The associated advertising slogan is "I feel like Chicken Tonight". In one series of television ads, these words were sung by actors as they 'flapped' their arms in a movement similar to the chicken dance. This dance and song was performed by The Simpsons family in the episode "Lady Bouvier's Lover", as a parody of the effects on popular culture from persuasive television advertising.

The American version of the product quickly failed but it is still popular in Australia, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, where they even have a spin-off product, "Beef Tonight".

In the UK, there were commercials for Chicken Tonight featuring Arsenal legend Ian Wright.

Damn, I miss that stuff. I liked that Thai Green Curry stuff and some of the other things they made were good too. I am saddened that they don't make it anymore.

[Ron]

It's not really a snack food, but I remember when I was about 4 years old there were these little microwavable chilis that my grandfather used to buy, Libby's Diner. Ever since then I've searched for them only to be disappointed time and time again. I finally had to accept the fact that they were gone and never coming back.

[Gringo Loco]

I miss drinking Fruitopia. I used to drink this stuff along with some peach tea (I forgot who made the peach tea) in the 90's. Damn I want some.

[BlakeTyner]

I miss drinking Fruitopia. I used to drink this stuff along with some peach tea (I forgot who made the peach tea) in the 90's. Damn I want some.

Is Fruitopia not around any more? I can remember we had a Fruitopia machine in our high school, and, though I'd always get a coke at lunch, I'd usually get a Fruitopia after school when it was hot. I can still remember the funky design on that machine.

Now you can't even get a coke at the school anymore.

~Blake

PS - Snapple's peach tea was the shit.

[Gringo Loco]

Fruitopia is long gone. I did a search on it sometime last year and I think at the Coca Cola website, it read that it was discontinued. :cry:

But yeah, both of those drinks were stoner drinks, I swear. Me and my friends used to smoke the pot all day and drink that stuff.

[Ron]

They don't make fruitopia anymore?

[Gringo Loco]

Hmm... I thought it was discontinued but it shows up on Coca Cola's website in a list that has all their drinks. It doesn't say it isn't available but it also doesn't say it is. I'll do some more investigating even if I have to call Coca Cola themselves!

[BlakeTyner]

Wikipedia says it was discontinued in 2001, after its brewmaster left Coca-Cola. Now any kind of fruit drinks are marketed under Coke's Minute Maid brand.

That's teh sad. It was sort of a generational icon.

~Blake

[Gringo Loco]

Well that's the way it is. Add that to the list of foods we miss.

Fruitopia is still to be found here in Canada (It still must be in some places in the states and other places) I see tons of vending machines for it and our 7-11's and other stores of the like are fucking loaded with it.

http://www.fruitopia.com/fruitopiasecure/enter.aspx

[Ron]

I just remembered SURGE. Not a lot of people cared for it by I loved it. Coca Cola has vault now, but it's just not the same. Anyone remember OK soda and that corny phoneline you could call and leave a message. That shit just tasted like a bunch of sodas mixed together.

[The Dream Master]

Vault has a lot of the same ingredients as Surge, and it tastes pretty similar to me.

Yes, the wiki article says it's still available in Canada and the UK, but the flavor is different than what we had.

SURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGE!!!

I remember when the introduced it, there were little plastic Surge "shot glasses" next to the fountains, and you could sample it. A buddy of mine was working at an all night convenience store, and we'd line those little fuckers up 10 at a time, as a caffeine delivery system. Good times.

Vault tastes mostly the same, but it was the Surge branding that really made it work for me.

~Blake

[Ron]

Does anyone remember the Trix flavored posicles. Those were good. So many memories..so many things I will never taste again:meh:

[BlakeTyner]

I just have two words.

Crystal Pepsi.

/thread explodes with awesomeness.

~Blake

[Gringo Loco]

I remember Crystal Pepsi. That's the one from the early 90's right?

[BlakeTyner]

Yeah, roughly '92-'93. I remember there were ads during a Dallas Super Bowl.

We had it in our vending machines in middle school, and I remember that when it was ice cold, it sort of tasted like cough syrup (but in a good way.)

~Blake

[Ron]

I remember every friday when I was little my parents would get pizza and we'd watch TGIF together. One Friday we got Crystal Pespsi when it first came out. I was about 7 so that was like 14 years ago, but I remember it tasted like regular pepsi. I don't think it caught on for this reason. A lot of times colors make us feel different about a product. For example: I remember when they came out with green ketchup, a few people told me how gross it tasted yet it had the same flavor as regular ketchup.

[The Dream Master]

I know I drank Crystal Pepsi back in the day, but I honestly don't remember if it just tasted like regular Pepsi or not. It seems like everyone says it did, so I'm guessing it's probably true.

Added:

Wow, look at some of the wild shit in the Wikipedia article for Crystal Pepsi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_Pepsi).

[BlakeTyner]

Yeah, it tasted like regular Pepsi when it was cold or above. But when icy, it definitely had a medicine-y taste to it. I'd still drink it, actually, were it around.

What I miss is the Dr. Pepper gum. The gum itself had a cinnamon flavor to it, but inside each little square was a drop of DP syrup. Twas good.

~Blake

[The Dream Master]

Here's a question that's somewhat related to the topic at hand:

I just noticed that Trix went away from being fruit shaped--it's shaped like balls now--and it's being advertised as all new. Am I crazy, or weren't they like this until the early '90s when they changed to the fruit shape in the first place?

[Ron]

Ha, "In the Family Guy episode "I Take Thee Quagmire", Peter pitches the idea of Crystal Pepsi, the main selling point being that you could see someone through the glass if they were coming at you with a knife." you gotta love Family Guy's obscure pop culture references. An yes, I do believe you're right DM in regards to Trix cereal. I may be wrong also though, it's been know to happen every 75 years:D

[Gringo Loco]

I dunno, I've always had Trix in my mind as the balls. I could be wrong though.

[Ron]

I can't stop thinking about crazy bread now..i'm gonna have to take the 10 mile ride to the nearest Little Caesar's and end this craving.

[BluTsbunny]

I miss the planter's cheese balls and the chicken little sammich too.


Also miss these keebler cookies that were called magic middles I think. They were a round shortbread cookie with chocolate filling inside. They came in a blue cardboard box if I remember correctly.

Also miss the koala bear cookies too.

[Ron]

do they still make teddy grams?

[BlakeTyner]

Mmmm...Planter's Cheese Balls. auuhhhgghghgh [/homer]


I haven't seen Teddy Grahams, but then again I haven't been looking for them, either.

It's also somewhat difficult for me to find Combos, which I loved as a kid. And despite mass searching in all local stores, I can't find any Chupa-Chup suckers, which were my staple in high school.

~Blake

[The Dream Master]

Teddy Grahams are still around. I just had some not too long ago. The chocolate chip flavor owns.

[Ron]

I'm gonna have to get my hands on someof those...they remind me of my childhood.

[Darth Sinister]

Mint Kit Kat bars. I haven't been able to find them since 2005.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

Do they still make those Koala cookies? They looked like little koala bears, and had chocolate in them. :) Those were great!

[Shoesalesman]

Mint Kit Kat bars. I haven't been able to find them since 2005.

I just saw some at the convenience store by my aunt's house. They were selling them by the box (I assume there's 30 to a box). Must have been a mixed up shipping order because they were for a pretty cheap price.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

Those cookies are referred to in my above post were called Koala Yummies. I couldn't think of the name of them before.

Usually Target has the Mini Kit Kat Bars. :) That is if you have any of those near you.

[NETRA]

Zots! Specifically cherry flavored Zots.

[Shoesalesman]

Mojos, the one for a penny kind, not the one for a dime kind of today.

They made them differently back then, don't know how... they just did.

[NETRA]

How about old Coke? I know what we have now is called "Classic" but I'm sorry, it's NOT the original formula. It used to make your nose burn! Bring that back.

[ChoKo]

Orange Julius. The last one in my hometown closed in the early 90's. The nearest one, now, is nearly 4 hours away.

Hi-C Ecto Cooler. I used to love the stuff.
http://www.moonmac.com/images/Ecto_Cooler.jpeg

Someone else mentioned Fruitopia. I miss it, too. Especially the "Grape Beyond" flavor.

Terminator 2 Sour Meltdown Balls. They were like Jawbreakers, only these were the size of BB's, and were ten times more sour. They were so strong, in fact, that if you popped more than one or two, they would cause the inside of your cheek to peel. Powerful stuff.

[NETRA]

Ha! I forgot about Ecto Cooler! I used to LOVE that. Ahhh, memory lane.

[ChoKo]

They still make the same flavor as the Ecto Cooler, but it's been re-named "Citrus Cooler" or something. It just ain't the same without Slimer staring back at you...

[Autobotsdie]

Surge cola.

[ChoKo]

I really miss Count Chocula. For some reason, none of the Grocery Stores around here carry it anymore. :(

[NW77]

I really miss Count Chocula. For some reason, none of the Grocery Stores around here carry it anymore. :(

Have you try Wal-Mart? Some of 'em has it along with Boo Berry & Franken' Berry. Thought I think the Supercenter one carry it than the smaller store. I found several of 'em around the Supercenter.

And anyone remeber what those snack that look like some kind of golden graham thing that have little peanut butter or sometime chocolate filling on the inside? I last has one around 12 yrs. ago or so.

[ChoKo]

Our local Wal-Mart was the place that I usually bought my Count Chocula from. They stopped stocking it over a year ago. They don't carry any of the monster cereals anymore. I don't know if it's just in my local Wal-Mart, or the entire state. (VA) None of the grocery store chains around her carry it anymore. :(

[Darth Sinister]

Surge cola.

Vault is pretty close to Surge.


Ah, I have a few Target stores, but not within walking or driving distance. I'd have to take a bus to the nearest one. I generally don't go into Target these days due to the prices.

[Kat]

I really miss Count Chocula. For some reason, none of the Grocery Stores around here carry it anymore. :(

Only one store in my area carries it. It was pretty good and normally I don't like chocolate and marshmallows.

[Autobotsdie]

Thats what I hate. One store will carry the product but another won't.

[Violent VictiM]

I just remembered SURGE. Not a lot of people cared for it by I loved it. Coca Cola has vault now, but it's just not the same.

The nail on the head.

I drank so much Surge as a kid, that I'm sure I have no sperm left from the amount of Yellow-5. One night before I had to go on for an Orchestra recital, I drank 4 bottles. I was wired.

Rice Krispie Treats cereal. Teh awesome.

[NW77]

Rice Krispie Treats cereal. Teh awesome.



Damn, man!! I forgot about that cereal. It was so damn good that it feel like I'm in Heaven, meeting God. Why oh why they got rid of it? It was so good that it been around for years, so I wonder why it gone. :cry:

[Violent VictiM]

Damn, man!! I forgot about that cereal. It was so damn good that it feel like I'm in Heaven, meeting God. Why oh why they got rid of it? It was so good that it been around for years, so I wonder why it gone. :cry:

It's still at a local supermarket by me. However, it costs $4.69 a box and never goes on sale. EVER.

[ChoKo]

I miss Chiclets; yet another product we don't get around here anymore.

[NW77]

I miss Chiclets; yet another product we don't get around here anymore.

Really? There still plenty of 'em here. In fact, I have the fruit flavor one here at home right now. It's weird that some popular products that still exist are not everywhere in the US like some would've expect. Probably depend on how successful it does at certain stores or not.

[Kat]

We don't have Mellow Yellow anymore! At least where I live :( I used to love that stuff

[ChoKo]

Anyone else remember Sundrop? What about RC Cola? I can't seem to find those anymore, either.

[NW77]

Anyone else remember Sundrop? What about RC Cola? I can't seem to find those anymore, either.

Still have 'em here. :D :D

Man, you may as well need to move somewhere when you can't find stuff like that anymore. Maybe a big city, since it will be easy to find everything.

[The 5th Golden Girl]

We don't have Mellow Yellow anymore! At least where I live :( I used to love that stuff

Really? That's odd. It's my favorite soft drink, so if I lived where you do, I'd die.

[On a Pale Horse]

McDonalds McRib sandwich.


Smurfberry Crunch (cereal from early 80s)

Teddygrams... do they still make those?

[NW77]

Teddygrams... do they still make those?



Of course!! I still see many of 'em at the closest grocery store from me. And man, I can't believe you brought up the Smurf cereal. Now I remeber eating them & they were pretty good. :)

[ChoKo]

Anyone remember Gushers? I used to really like those. I haven't seen them in a while.

[NW77]

Anyone remember Gushers? I used to really like those. I haven't seen them in a while.

I could mail you some. There plenty of 'em at my store where I work. ;)

[MaDMaNMaRz]

Anyone remember Gushers? I used to really like those. I haven't seen them in a while.

Hell yeah! Those were the deal. :)

[ChoKo]

Gushers are great when you're high.... They're the perfect stoner snack.

(I don't do drugs anymore, but I can reminisce, can't I?)

[MaDMaNMaRz]

Haha, I haven't done that before. I would try it, but I don't do drugs anymore either. :)

[BlakeTyner]

lol back in my weed-smokin' days, my friends and I had like a two-hour long conversation about how fucking amazing Funyuns tasted.

I agree.......Funyuns are fucking amazing. :)

[ChoKo]

Funyuns are the nectar of the Gods.

[NW77]

Well, I finally found Dunkaroos after trying to find it for some time. They don't sell 'em anymore at your average grocery stores thought. I found one at Dollar General. Those kind of stores should have 'em. Shame it's the vanilla frosting with sprinkles for dipping the cookies on. I prefer the chocolate frosting instead. :D

[WesReviews]

Holy crap... how did I miss this? Thank heavens for 5th Golden Girl for resurrecting one of my old threads from the last board! I was about to recreate it when I thought I should do a search. Glad I did!

Anyway, I miss...

Crystal Pepsi (Plain and simple, it was a victim of hype. I think if re-introduced in the modern era where new soft drinks are popping up all the time, it would've found its audience.)

Pepsi Vanilla (I much prefer it to Vanilla Coke, but oh well. Vanilla Coke is still pretty good.)

McDonald's Pizza (I don't think it was ever given a fair shake by the general public that couldn't accept McDonald's doing pizza... but Marion's Pizza (http://www.marionspizza.com/) in Dayton, Ohio has pizza VERY similar in taste, if you're ever up that way) According to Wikipedia... "Pizza is still sold at three McDonald's locations in Orlando, Florida, Spencer, West Virginia, and New Haven, Connecticut."

Shit man, Marshmallow Krispies, I'd forgotten all about those.

Showbiz Pizza turned into Chuck E. Cheese around here, I guess cause they bought them out. I remembered that happening when I was a kid and being confused.

Yeah, the closest one to me was in Lexington and I'm pretty sure it's a Chuck-E-Cheese now as well. I actually really like Chuck-E-Cheese's pizza. Been a couple of years since I've last been, though.

Holy shit, them WWF Superstars of Wrestling Ice Cream Bars brings back alot of memories.

Like hearing the ice cream truck a few blocks away and running home to beg my mom for 50 or 75 cents (cant remember which, but they were definitely under a dollar) to buy one.

...then a few hours later the water ice truck would come and id beg for a dollar to get 2 soft pretzels and a small blue berry water ice. I used to drive my mom up the wall

Then I would dip my pretzels in the water ice.

Ahhh...the days

Fucking Sharkleberry Fin! I remember always wanting some of that shit. I know I had it, but I can not remember what it tasted like.

I used to like McDonalds pizza quite a bit, but I think if I had some now, I would like it even more. I like that weird crusty shit they had on the bottom now.

hWKgwS20NyM

I miss that shit, really good. Also miss Christmas Captain Crunch and the pretzel shaped Christmas Voortmans with white icing and red & green sprinkles. I remember some cool pudding that you made yourself and it had Shake in the title. I also miss real blue whales, but you can kind of get them again, I think. It was great because they were the only blue candy you could find back then and then they went and changed them sour because kids today are stupid. Tahiti Treat pop I never got to have as much as I could have. I remember these drinks called Mondo, too.

[The Tall Man]

Banana, I miss the hell out of Crystal Pepsi. I thought I was the only person who actually liked it.

I remember a couple of years ago, they brought it back but it was all wrong. It was made with that nasty splenda shit, so it didn't taste the same, and the bottle was different. I was sorely disappointed.

I don't remember ever eating the Superstars Ice Cream bars or the McDonald's Pizza, but I certainly remember licking up my share of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Pudding Pies.

Yep, it was similar. When Showbiz Pizza went out of business, a lot of them became Chuck E. Cheese. I know the one in Lexington, KY that I used to go to back in the day is now a Chuck E. Cheese. They still have really good pizza as well, though I've not gone in a couple of years.

Just watched the last commercial and they sing "Showbizz Pizza, where a kid can be a kid!" Old ChuckeCheeses commercials sing the exact same song with the exact same line, just changin out the name of the place to ChuckeCheeses... I'm wondering if they indeed became ChuckeCheeses?

[WesReviews]

From Wikipedia...

Showbiz Pizza Place was a restaurant chain popular in the 1980s. Its history is greatly intertwined with that of its main competitor and eventual successor, Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time Theatre. Both companies found early success, owing partially to the rise in popularity of arcade games at the time. The basic concept was to offer pizza, a large selection of arcade games, and an animatronic stage show as a complete package of food and entertainment. The largest difference between the two, and easiest way to distinguish the two chains, was the different robotics and the mascots that each concept used. The mascot for Showbiz was Billy Bob, an overall-clad hillbilly bear.

HISTORY
The business was founded in Topeka, Kansas, in 1980[1] by Robert L. Brock, owner of Brock Hotel Corporation. At the time, Brock was quite successful as one of the largest franchisers in the Holiday Inn hotel system. Eighty percent of Showbiz Pizza Place was owned by Brock Hotel Corporation. The other 20 percent was owned by Creative Engineering, Inc. who was responsible for producing the animatronics show Showbiz used: The Rock-afire Explosion. In 1982, the company moved its headquarters to Irving, Texas. In 1984, the company purchased the assets of Chuck E. Cheese's, after that company declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy. They then proceeded to change the name of the company to Showbiz Pizza Time, Inc. Both restaurants were kept operating as separate entities. After disagreements over a period of years with Creative, Showbiz management decided to go ahead with a restructuring of the restaurants called "Concept Unification". This would consist of renovating all Showbiz animation into Chuck E. Cheese characters, as well as renaming all stores to "Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza". This would be the end for the concept known as "Showbiz Pizza Place", although the company is still in business, as the current management of the "Chuck E. Cheese's" concept is a direct line from the "Showbiz Pizza Time, Inc." era, with little connection to the original "Pizza Time Theatre" ownership. They are now known as CEC Entertainment Concepts, L.P.

The majority of former ShowBiz Pizza Place locations were converted into Chuck E. Cheese's. At the current time, there are around 83 converted "Rock-afire Explosion" shows still in use as "3-Stage" Chuck E. Cheese shows. Some stores were also closed at this time, while others converted to independent concepts, such as "Circus Pizza" (not to be confused with Circus World Pizza) and "Billy Bob's Wonderland" in Barboursville, WV, where the classic Rock-afire Explosion Band is still active. There are less than a handful of these stores still operational.

There are a few restaurants still using the Showbiz Pizza Place name and animation. All are located outside the United States, and have no connection to the original company. Known locations are in Lebanon, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait.[citation needed] There has been one return of the brand in the United States, where it is now called Showbiz Pizza Zone. It is now closed.

Wow... Had no idea that Billy Bob's Wonderland in Huntington, WV is/was the same thing as Showbiz Pizza! Next time I'm over there, I'm definitely gonna stop in and grab some food. I always wondered what it was.

The WWE Ice Cream Bar Popped Loudest in Boston (http://bleacherreport.com/articles/728965-wwe-news-latest-news-and-rumors-from-wwe/entry/106898-the-wwe-ice-cream-bar-popped-loudest-in-boston)

The biggest pop of the night wasn’t from Punk’s megaphone or the contract negotiation, or even when John Cena slapped CM Punk. The truth is the biggest pop of the night had everything to do with WWE Ice Cream Bars.

Yes, you are hearing that right. If you watched the show you are not questioning this now. The biggest pop the Boston faithful let out was for a failed WWE gimmick. This is just proof that the WWE fans are among the most fickle of any wrestling crowd. They’ll cheer crazy for Zack Ryder and Ice Cream bars, and boo their hometown kid, John Cena.

However, if we are to play detective and therapist we might be able to uncover the reason for such a loud pop on a product that half of the people in the arena would have had to Google just to remember what it looked like.

The most likely scenario is that the WWE tried and true weren’t as happy to hear the drop but more or less happy to see someone stick it to Vince McMahon. While there are times when Vince is well over with the crowd, especially when someone has attacked the WWE faithful, but the crowd is drawn to Punk’ honesty and they wanted to see him stick it to McMahon.

The ice cream was a ridiculous demand, but the demand was from someone who had Vince McMahon in the palm of it’s hand.

Now, since the WWE ice cream bars are trending on twitter and have been well searched this morning, don’t be surprised if the WWE puts the ice cream bar back into production. They would sell just about anything to make a dollar and with a younger audience making up their target demographic it’s entirely possible that they will try and capitalize on it, at least in limited production.

Ah, it’s a rare occasion when the WWE faithful can have a serious discussion about the WWE and their once delicious ice cream bars.

.yes, they were.

[Brett H.]

CM Punk was talking about getting Vince to bring those back (or something) on Raw (from what I heard). Something tells me the Boo approves, brother.

I'd spend $50 for sure and maybe $100 to fuckin' try them. When I first heard Punk mention this, I thought for sure they'd put them out again and I was going to try my damnedest and spare no expense to get my hands on some, even if most of the new WWE Superstars are useless tits. It would kill me to watch Superstars and Coliseum Videos when snotty kids in Hulkamania bandanas would be chowing on them.

[zombie extra 3]

McDonald's Chicken Fajitas.

When prepared right, they were awesome. One of the few things from McDonald's I really liked.

Now they are replaced by the inferior snack wraps (which are not bad but not as good).

It would be money well spent. I remember in 1991ish the WWF Ice Cream Bar got me in trouble as I spent a whopping $1.25 on one off the ice cream truck, the most expensive item there. "You spent HOW MUCH OF YOUR ALLOWANCE ON THAT?!" I think, though, that the grief was mostly because I spent money on something wrestling related, and not the most expensive Ice Cream Truck item.

[Brett H.]

I don't think I really liked this shit because I was such a picky eater, but I remember getting Big Foot Soup and Alligator Soup if anyone remembers those. Ninja Turtles cereal I actually liked, Nielson chocolate covered granola bars (they were hard instead of the chewy stuff you only seem to find today), Great Canadian Mint ice cream bars (the best on the planet, the inside had a hard chocolate core surrounded by mint ice cream covered in chocolate and nuts), BEEP "juice" drink, which was also my favorite and I tried to track it down for years. It's been officially discontinued.

Unintentional humor in there. "Taste the bars of the Superstars." Indeed.

Shit man, Marshmallow Krispies, I'd forgotten all about those.

That was my first cereal, I believe. I used to eat that a lot up until 1986 and then I started to eat both Fruity and Coco Pebbles a lot. Last time I had them was in 1990. That was whey they switched the packaging from pink to green.

Speaking of what I miss...

I'll also be hitting up the one sto' they got there for some retro candy like Roman Nougats (way better than your Brach jelly nougats) and Walker's Toffee, which I haven't been able to find since I was a little kid. I'll grab whatever weird old chocolate bars I've never tried, too.

Unintentional humor in there. "Taste the bars of the Superstars." Indeed.


Rumours are WWE are seriously considering bringing them back they are even sending out questionnaires to fans asking if they want them back.

Punk said in an interview he didn't plan on saying that about them just going out and making a few silly demands and the Ice Cream Bars just popped into his head whist he was talking the reaction they got really surprised him (though he also said he really did love them and would like to see them back)

[Darth Sinister]

It'll have to be someone other than Good Humor, if they don't budge.

Peanut butter Twix; I haven't seen that anywhere for about 6 years, now.

Oh Hell yeah! I loved their bacon cheeseburgers, lol. And the milkshakes that would end up half frozen, half lava.

I miss Night Hawk frozen dinners. They only sell them in Texas I think. I loved the chopped steak with tater tots and mac n cheese.

One thing I loved but can't remember the name of were these snacks that were shaped like peanuts and filled with peanut butter. The outside was made of some light, cookie type stuff. My Dad and I used to tear those things up.

[kramerfan]

Wow all this great stuff makes me hungry.lol

Peanut butter Twix; I haven't seen that anywhere for about 6 years, now.

I was thinking that I saw a commercial the other day for this with sharks being interviewed by a human... but that was for Snickers, not Twix.

[Darth Sinister]

It's still around.

[Nukulur]

Can I have some? I'll pay you.

Are you talking about Nutter Butter? I think they still make 'em...

[SoulOnFire]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
No, it wasn't Nutter Butter (love those things!). These looked like actual peanuts but the shell was like a cookie with peanut butter inside. In other words, you could fake someone out with one by making them think it was an actual peanut.

[Jus-X]

I know what Soul's talking about but I forget the name. It is reminding me to bring up the Nutrageous candy bar.

These things were the shit but Reeses stopped making them for some reason. :(

[SoulOnFire]

It was P.B. Crisps!

Planters always cancels the good shit. I miss their cheese curls and cheese balls too.:(

[Brett H.]

Cheese balls were prime. We used to be able to get the Kracker Barrel kind at shitty places like Zellers here.

I had an Idaho spud yesterday, I've been trying to track down as many weird old chocolate bars as possible. They're okay.

Really uncharacteristic of me to like that kind of crummy compressed powder sugar type candy, but I really loved those back in the day. I remember they were about 35 cents a box.

[The 5th Golden Girl]

Dunkaroos were one of my favorites, and they've been gone for quite a while.

I had a friend come over a few months ago and she brought Dunkaroos with her. She got them at the Dollar General down my street.

Eating them was hilarious because I did what I always used to do... I'd only take a little icing for each cookie because I thought I'd run out of icing, and then by the end I was having to use a lot of icing because there was more than expected there to be. :p

A recent BuzzFeed article that I think many in this thread will enjoy...

25 Foods You'll Never Be Able to Eat Again (http://www.buzzfeed.com/daves4/25-foods-youll-never-eat-again)

[kramerfan]

Ive only heard of a few of those on that 25 list.

[Jus-X]

Never heard of Heinz EZ Squirt, Gatorade Gum, Oreo O's, or Waffle Crisp... the rest of those things were things I remember eating/drinking back when they were out. If it weren't for this list I would have forgotten about Ecto Cooler. That was the best flavored Juice Box ever. And Sprite remix was my favorite soda when it was out.

[WesReviews]

I'm not 100% sure they're discontinued, but I'll list this under a snack food gone Missing In Action...

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51KAp-YXq%2BL._SL500_AA300_.jpg

Orange & Creme flavor of Creme Savers. I see Strawberry & Creme everywhere, but it's been forever since I've seen Orange in stores. Anyone know if this is still in production? I can't find any Creme Savers website info. Not even at Wrigley's website (the company that owns Lifesavers.)

Seen any Creme Savers flavors in your neck of the woods?

[DouglasJ]

In 1999, here in the UK we could buy Krusty Kola, along with several other Simpsons based drinks. KK was amazing. Yellow, with a thick syrup that clogged up the back of your throat. It was discontinued after about a year, I still remember the day I went to the supermarket to pick up more of this stuff and was told it had been discontinued. Crushed. Completely crushed.

I finally got one I haven't thought of in years and no one's posted. Fucking NEON Oreos. I only had them a couple times and they were indeed the doepest of all the Oreos. I can't find shit about them online, which is totally weird unless it was just a Canadian thing.

I remember when they came in a pink box. :geek:

You don't go grocery shopping that often?

Gatorade Gum,

Me either.

Oreo O's, or Waffle Crisp

I remember the Oreo cereal, but not the other.

... the rest of those things were things I remember eating/drinking back when they were out. If it weren't for this list I would have forgotten about Ecto Cooler.

How can you forget that?

Neon? There's colored cream Oreo cookies for certain holidays and such, but what do you mean by neon?

[Brett H.]

All different shades of neon cream.

[The Dream Master]

I don't remember those, but somebody (http://www.inthe80s.com/food/neonoreos0.shtml) else does, apparently. Shoulda known it was an 80s thing. :X

[Darth Sinister]

Looking at the Marshmellow Rice Krispies box, I see something that I missed. I see that they added a fruity flavor which explains why it tasted like shit. I had stopped eating in 86 and was on Fruity and Coca Pebbles. By 90, it was this now.

Yeah, the original Marshmallow Krispies came in a pink box and were not fruit flavored. The fruit kind was introduced later.

This was the kind I always remember getting. So good!

Got some Captain Crunch Crunch Berries cereal, Rice Krispie Treats cereal and Tato Skins brought back from the States for me. Haven't had Crunch with Berries for about 15 years and while the blue/purple berries put a damper on the good combo of flavors in the cereal, it's still the only Crunch I really want to eat.

[The Dream Master]

I'm still pissed that they haven't had Christmas Crunch here for the past few years. I can bet you Jesus wasn't a big fan of that because I'm sure one of the wise men brought that shit to the manger.

A recent BuzzFeed article that I think many in this thread will enjoy...

25 Foods You'll Never Be Able to Eat Again (http://www.buzzfeed.com/daves4/25-foods-youll-never-eat-again)

Unlike apparently most, I have tasted all 25 of those delicacies. It's probably due to the fact that I grew up in the 90's, the worst time for food experimentation in history, but some of those were fucking awesome, and I did not know Butterfinger BB's were gone until just now when I heard my own heart break. Must be a 90's thing, because I don't know how anyone can not remember the frightening old ladies from the Waffle Crisp commercials.

Mom and dad bought a box of Christmas Crunch. I don't even think they've opened it yet. :X

[BluTsbunny]

I swear to God that I saw on Walmart's website that they carry Keebler Magic Middles cookies in their stores. I don't know if it's true or not as I haven't been out to Walmart in awhile since we lost our car.

Anyone want to go to Wally-world on a fact finding mission and bring back some of these delightful little cookies?

[Brett H.]

I dunno if these are hard to find, were hard to find or what, but I seem to remember DM or Wes or someone doep whining you couldn't get these anymore:

http://yesteryearremembered.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Taco-Flavored-Doritos.jpg

Well I was walking down the aisle at Wal-mart and there they were. I bought some and they fucking suck. 'Course I'm used to eating the best and they've never really left shelves here in Canada in my lifetime, despite different bag labels and names, they're still the same classic shit from Old Dutch:

http://www.taquitos.net/im/sn/OldDtuch-Ariba-Taco.jpg

That's one thing I really want to do at some point is when I'm mailing DM shit to send him some of the chips we have here, because our shit is miles and miles ahead of the Lays and Cheetos bullshit Americans have. And it's not just my personal taste, the jump up in quality, flavor, crunch and even nutrition (as healthy as chips can be, but bear with me) is phenomenal having had lots of both.

[WesReviews]

I'll trade you six bags of Tato Skins for wrestling boots, Boo.

[SlasherFreak]

Rap Snacks...

I know they still come out...but they suck...Im talking about back in the day...with MC Potato

Also miss the blatant rip offs, Chumpies:

[nottidelterrore]

Kareem, Eric, and Rafael?

I want a bag of Chumpies.

[WesReviews]

I miss pretty much everything in this ad...

http://www.themushroomkingdom.net/images/merch/food_nintendomunchies.jpg

I've mentioned them before, but the Nintendo ice cream sandwiches were friggin' amazing.

[CosmoBubba]

While they haven't been discontinued per se, I'm still incredibly bummed that Count Chocula, Frankenberry, and Boo Berry have been scaled back to the point where I can only buy them during one month out of the year. If they sold it year-round, I would eat nothing but those cereals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

[Jus-X]

I haven't looked for them in a while, but something just came to mind that I used to eat all the time, Pixie Stix. Are those still around?

[Seth Doom]

Pixie sticks are still around in Az but only the friggin huge straws as far as I am aware.

What about Chico sticks? I haven't seen those in forever.

The '25 foods you'll never eat again" link made me sad with all the junk food I miss. Except Pepsi Blue(among a few others). That shit was rank. It didn't have Kick Soda on there which hopefully means I will come across it again someday.

Nintendo cereal! God how i miss thee and my mario bros. show.

[Darth Sinister]

I dunno if these are hard to find, were hard to find or what, but I seem to remember DM or Wes or someone doep whining you couldn't get these anymore:

I went through Wal-Mart the other day and found them in family size. So they're doing well in the US.

I miss pretty much everything in this ad...

Shit, I only knew about the cereal and the fruit roll ups.

I've mentioned them before, but the Nintendo ice cream sandwiches were friggin' amazing.

But are they as good as the WWF Ice Cream Bars?

Pixie sticks are still around in Az but only the friggin huge straws as far as I am aware.

Same in Nebraska.

What about Chico sticks? I haven't seen those in forever.

Never heard of them.

Bret H.-

I found some of those taco flavored Doritos at Hy-Vee yesterday here in Manhattan.

Unfortunately, they're fucking gross; no one in my family likes them after eating Arribas from Old Dutch all these years that are the same idea but much tastier.

[Darth Sinister]

There's a reason it went from that to the Doritos that we now know as the primary verison.

[i am SAW]

who remembers Doritos Rollitos?

imagine taking a regular triangle dorito chip, and rolling it up like a joint.

they were doritos, just smaller and alot harder to bite.

http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/5420/46445922.jpg

but the 3D ones were good, like biting into a cheese flavored bubble.

http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/hprofile-ak-snc4/41604_108929805018_1881_n.jpg

[SlasherFreak]

Yeah, I really liked them doritos 3d.

To fill that void, I get the nacho cheese flavored bugles, but its still not the same

[BluTsbunny]

I wonder if any crazy stoner ever tried putting pot in one of those doritos rollitos and tried to smoke it. :duh:

[WesReviews]

I'd forgotten all about the Rollitos and Doritos 3D.

[WesReviews]

Better grab 'em while you still can. Juuuuuust in case.
