I forgot to mention it, but Kit Kat Witch's Brew came out a few years ago and it was pretty damn tasty, as it had a bit of marshmallow in the candy.

Crystal pepsi!!!

I also tried some of that in August 2016 when they brought it back.

Sierra Mist my beloved ?

Wonka Bars! Does anyone else remember these!? I think they were introduced to promote that 2000s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory remake, but Wikipedia tells me they hung around until 2010 or so. They were a chocolate-covered graham cracker candy bar, but it was actually a full, unbroken graham cracker completely coated in high-quality chocolate. I haven't had one in about 15 years, but I remember them being crispy, buttery, and scrum-diddly-umptious. In fact, there's never been a Wonka-branded candy product I didn't adore.



been looking for these :(
the solid chocolate ones

Don't tell the guy in my avatar, but this was actually my favourite lemon-lime soft drink, and what I was going to mention coming into this thread. It had a subtler, deeper flavour (for a poisonous HFCS nightmare-beverage) than 7UP or Sprite, and served cold, stayed fizzy for way longer. You don't often get "fresh"-tasting sodas these days, but Sierra Mist definitely fit that remit. I miss it.

I LOVED Wonka Bars. I was so sad when I couldn't find them anymore. Anything really good seems to eventually get taken away. I wish they'd bring them back. I don't care if the quality would make it a tad overpriced. I'd still buy it.

Josta, 100% is what I think of every time this question comes up. I miss this drink so much. It was my jam when I was a kid. I drank like WAY too much of it lol. That, and original Jolt.

As far as food goes, I remember Planters (I think) had these PD&J crispy snack things that were really good that I miss a lot. Also mini Pop Tarts.

More recently Ghost Energy had a Cotton Candy flavor that I really loved. Of course it's the one flavor they get rid of.

Jolt Cola. A fantastic Cola drink (with various other spinoff flavors during its first run from the 80's-mid-'00s that went AWOL before being turned into a nasty energy drink attempt, which wound up getting the company sued over the battery can design (Someone else had the patent already), then it went AWOL again...then it came back briefly during the mid-late '10s, only sold through Dollar General and like...one other dollar-type store. Now it's just a faded memory...'cause, yeah, it went bust...again, discon'd in 2019.

I also miss the Mountain Dew Baja Gold, which was a pineapple flavored Mountain Dew.

Surge

It's not "completely" discontinued, but it's exclusive to only certain Burger King locations now, and none of them near me have it.

 

[lil_thang]

not really a food or drink so much, but would probably fall under the FDA, but back when i was a smoker i exclusively smoked Port Royal Black Label pouches, but they stopped making black label like half decade ago so now i'm just grumpily huffing max nicotine strength vape naysh instead

 

[RanmyakuIchi's icon RanmyakuIchi RanmyakuIchi]

I'm not familiar with that, but I bet it had some good burgers on the menu. I'm not sure if it's discontinued, but there was this habanero burger that McDonald's had on their menu a few several years ago but it's not there.

This reminds me that McDonald's used to have a sriracha quarter pounder with crispy onions that was really good too.

I hardly drink soda anymore, but this was a LAN staple here:
It was relaunched in 2017, but it didn't taste ANYTHING like the OG did. It had a super unique taste.

 

[ladyerrant]

anyone remember Frutopia? I miss it.

That's a crazy good aesthetic.

 

[ladyerrant]

I probably wouldn't like it now, on reflection. I quit drinking sodas/sugary drinks years ago and my tolerance for them is almost nonexistant now.

No, but I wish I did. I'd love to try that.

I don't think I saw that one, but they used to have this one on the menu in around maybe 2015-2016?

At least I think it's maybe discontinued? I haven't seen it on the menu at the McDonald's that I eat at for a few years now.

 

[spacebear]

Bring back Surge you cowards.

I never saw this one in my area, it looks really tasty.

It was and my Mom really liked the Big 'n Tasty burger too.

They had a limited run of it for the last Ghost Busters flick.
Gone again now, though.
