I am still mourning the departure of Helena Rubenstein Shiny Penny lip gloss in the green and gold floral metal tube. Wore that all through the 70's. And Vidal Sassoon
shampoo and conditioner in the brown bottles with the almond-y scent. Helped keep my wedge haircut lookin' good!
Yeah, I'm old....

Pepsi in a bottle, bottled in the USA. The Mexican one just tastes funny. The Mexican Pepsi is made with real sugar cane, which makes the taste a bit different.  You can buy Mexican coke in glass bottles around here, too, and I do love it for a nice change! (besides the sugar, I think the glass bottle somehow makes it better than in a plastic bottle, too...) |

The original Herbal Essence (NOT Herbal Essences) Shampoo from the '60s and '70s... that shampoo smelled so good! I have no idea if it was all that good for the hair, but the smell just takes me back!  |

Oh I forgot!! Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Cherry Garcia!! My most fave ice cream of all time!! Along these lines, I wish they'd bring back the old version of Chubby Hubby. The new version sucks  |

I miss the Kraft Macaroni and Cheese Cheese topping. If anyone knows any other brand cheese topping that is as good as this was on pasta, vegetables, and popcorn, please, PLEASE send me a message. My kids miss it, too. (Sorry that image is so huge.)  |

Yoplait Custard Style yogurt and Haagen Dazs Cappuccino Commotion ice cream. I miss them so so much. Have you tried Yoplait Thick and Creamy yogurt? Don't know if it's exactly like a custard style but it's as exactly as labelled... thick and creamy and delicious. I'm totally hooked on strawberry Thick and Creamy. For some reason it's hard to find around here so it's a real treat for me when I can get it. |

Cool Whip frosting. Just enough sweet to seem like a treat on graham crackers or banana bread. But only 8 carbs, and I didn't even use a whole serving. Maybe it was a summertime thing? But I've checked every grocery store in town.

Oh, did you open a Pandora's Box, baby! My list is long! After reading everyone else's posts, here's what sprang to mind . . . The original Herbal Essence (NOT Herbal Essences) Shampoo from the '60s and '70s... that shampoo smelled so good! I have no idea if it was all that good for the hair, but the smell just takes me back! Yes! Love, love, loved the smell of that stuff and it is all gone. papersilly, I would love those cutting sheets to come back, too! Other stuff includes 99% of the perfumes I have ever worn. They always seem to disappear. I will, however, give accolades to Thymes for bringing back my Fig Leaf & Cassis perfume. Aldi made a brand of cheerios w/berries that I wish they'd bring back. I miss Snapple's English Breakfast Tea, Newton's Fruit Thins Banana & Dark Chocolate, Stouffer's Noodles Romanoff & Baskin Robbins Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Ice Cream (although, truth be told, I haven't been there in ages, so they may still make that one). I also miss Phyisque's Curl Cream & the Silhouettes' line of clothing for plus sized women. |

My list is long. As a matter of fact, if I like it a lot, it's guaranteed to be discontinued.  Fair warning... if you like White Cheddar Simply Cheetos, you better stock up.  |

-Finesse mousse
-Maybeline Ultra Lash wateroof mascara in the gold and white tube
-Purex powder bleach for colors. If they haven't discontinued it I sure can't find it
anymore.
If they discontinue my 40 calorie fat free Fudgecicles I'll just shoot myself.

I always liked the Brach's pick-a-mix candy display in the store; my favorite was always Sour Balls- individually wrapped, lime, cherry, orange, grape, lemon... I could probably find it online somewhere, but I liked choosing my own mix; more green, red, and orange, and hardly any lemon- lol! We have a grocery chain called Ingels and they still have the Brach's pick-a-mix - I love that they still have that because I like to mix things up  |

The Bodyshop Pineapple face wash Try Alba's pineapple enzyme face wash. You'll find it at Whole Foods and natural foods stores but I've also seen it at Marshalls occasionally. |

Starbucks used to have a drink called something like the Chantica and it was basically a thick hot chocolate or as I liked to call it brownie mix in a cup. I loved it.

I've used Clinique for so many years, this has happened to me TWICE.
My husband grew up with Octagon soap and believed it was almost medicinal. He ordered by the case for many years. It was discontinued a few years ago and the remaining product on the market brings gold bar prices. He still has a good many squirreled away in our linen closet. I jokingly call them our "rainy day fund."

I just thought of another one Flex shampoo and conditioner - I loved the way it smelled. Revlon doesn't make any shampoos anymore |

Mother's cookies used to sell Flaxy Flix - or something like that the kids always called them fiddle flakes but that wasn't the right name. They were so good - they were wafer bars covered in chocolate and rolled in cornflakes. So darn good

Drixoral. It worked better than the other OTC meds for most of the people in my family.

Thanks to everyone who told me that the single dose allergy meds are back at Walgreens and CVS. I live in a small town, so I only have Walmart to rely on. I had ordered some of these from CVS several years ago, but when I went to buy some more, I couldn't find them anywhere! So glad to know that they are back. I did find them online at Walgreens, so I'll go order some now. The peas rock!!

My BF would definitely say Pizzerias chip from the 80's. He talks about them frequently. I was just getting ready to say Pizzerias. I don't even eat chips very often but I could finish a bag of those things in one sitting. Oh how I miss them! |

Bath and Body Works Toasted Hazelnut scent. I loved that stuff. I can't stand most of their scents now, but I would love to have that one again.

You can buy Mexican coke in glass bottles around here, too, and I do love it for a nice change! (besides the sugar, I think the glass bottle somehow makes it better than in a plastic bottle, too...)
