Fun thread - foods you miss

Here it’s called “classic rich milk chocolate”. They’re covering all the bases! 😂

I loved good n plenty and necco wafers. I’ve been eating mostly paleo since June and I miss a lot of things. We were at the Ocean City boardwalk last week and I was missing my salt water taffy and old timey candy I like to get there.

I almost cried when I saw pumpkin pie pop tarts. I generally hate pop tarts but those pumpkin pie ones are my treat in fall.

Fruit Wrinkles. Anyone else remember those? They were the best fruit snacks.

Birds Eye Star Turn, it was orange or mint mousse with a chocolate shell. It was a Sunday afternoon tea treat every week.

BACOS!!!! I have no idea if they were gluten free or not because they disappeared before I was diagnosed. None of the substitutes come close.

Anyone remember General Foods International Coffees?

I loved and felt so sophisticated having my afternoon Orange Cappuccino.   

I'd never pick it over my Nespresso now but know this was the drink that launched my love of cappuccinos and lattes.

I was CRUSHED when I found this out. I love potato cakes and cant believe they did away with them!!

Oh man I LOVED Jell-o 123, I would make it at my dad's house on his weekends and I absolutely thought it was magic!

Also loved Keebler's Magic Middles cookies and fruit wrinkles.

This is such a fun thread, thanks for starting it!

They had chocolate chips inside and a crumbly texture with chocolate on the outside.  OMG.

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen Quisp cereal recently at HyVee. I didn’t buy it because I was busy buying multiple boxes of retro recipe Golden Grahams to make S’mores bars.

I miss Nabisco Bacon Thins. I'll never understand why these were discontinued. It's hard to believe it was because of poor sales. And Knudsen's Strawberry frozen Yogurt Push-Ups. These were so delicious... better than ice cream.

I miss, and miss so much;

- Jello Pudding Pops


Charles Chips Sandies; They delivered them in a can, real crispy cinnamon sugar cookies.

Anything with real corn syrup such as Ketchup and things prepared with unhealthy fats.

I did not expect to find so many lovers of Jello 1-2-3 here! I read the OP and then had to look up what it called because DH and I ate a lot of Jello 1-2-3 when we were first married. Loved it! Apparently it wasn't just me.

Also, General Foods International Coffees! They actually still exist as Maxwell House International Coffee. Same product. I can only find two flavors at the commissary, French Vanilla and Hazelnut. A few years ago they had a holiday cinnamon spice limited edition that I've never found again. I always have one of these in my coffee cupboard. Normally I drink my coffee black, but every now and then I like to feel sophisticated and drink my International Coffee. 😂

My mom used to always shop at the Hostess outlet bread store too! And LOL about the sell by dates, they really don’t matter because those things have so many preservatives in them that they would never rot anyway. 

I’m sure you’re right about the trans fats. None of that stuff is anywhere close to as good as it used to be.

This thread reminds me of my all time favorite thing that is forever gone, and that would be Frosty Angel Cakes. Those were from Dolly Madison and the only place that I ever saw them was at certain gas stations. It was a little loaf of angel food cake with a slab of thick, sugary pink frosting on top. I wouldn’t get them all the time but when I’d see them I’d buy like 2-3 of them. They’ve been gone for a long time. If I could recreate that recipe, I’d be all over it.

My cats wanted me to post that they miss the breakfast flavors of canned Fancy Feast. They had egg, cheese, and greens with chicken or fish.
