Funny bones were top of my list and I'm thrilled they are back - now to get someone (my mum, my sister, my best friend - who all live in New England) to ship me some since they aren't available here (they never were)
Swiss Cheese Crackers as a previous poster mentioned
3D Doritos - I don't like regular ones, they hurt my mouth but I loved these
The older version of the Chunky bar - it was better than the Nestle version (although that one is still good)
And my number one wish? That I could still buy British chocolate here in my local (US) shops - the selection has dwindled to just a couple and they are not as authentic - my KitKat bar was made in Poland and I'm not sure about the Galaxy bar but it was obviously marketed for the Malta/Greece/Cyprus region with markings in Greek and English

I can't remember which brand it was, but somebody used to make pineapple grapefruit juice. You could buy it in a bottle, then in those tiny cans. Now nobody makes it. I miss that stuff.

I thought of another item I really miss, and I only had it once. Back when the internet was just starting out there was a website that sold body lotions, etc. I think the site was ingredients.com or something like that. They had the best smelling orange lotion. I don't remember the exact name or if it was just straight orange or something with it, but it smelled so nice. When I went to reorder it the site was completely gone as if it had never existed. I tried body shop/b&bw orange products but they weren't the same.

Charles Chips! I loved their potato chips and white chocolate pretzel balls! Double Cola - lot's of childhood memories of this drink - I can actually find it at Cracker Barrel sometimes. Charles Chips were re-launched in late 2011. I can find them at the Fresh Market for $5 per bag, so they are not cheap, but they are available in the original recipe. (They're fried in cottonseed oil, which makes a huge difference in the flavor.) They have a website and a web store, so you can order yourself a mouthful of delicious memories if you wanna!  www.charleschips.com/index.php |

Nature's Pride Whole Wheat bread. It had just the right amount of nuttiness and it was perfect for grilled cheese sandwiches! I fell in love with this bread right before Hostess brands closed down. They brought the Twinkies back, but not my favorite bread.  |

Arbonne used to make a great facial cleanser that was super gentle. I have super sensitive, super dry skin, and that old Arbonne stuff made my face feel like a baby's butt. They discontinued it years ago (2006 or 2007), reformulated everything, and raised their prices. (And it was already pretty expensive to begin with!) Now I can get something similar from one of Arbonne's "specialty" lines, but it's four times as expensive and smells different. Boo, Arbonne!
OceanSpray White Cran Peach water enhancer was the bomb. It's been gone for 3 years now. Sniffle. Still miss it! Crystal Light sort of discontinued Strawberry Kiwi water enhancer at the same time, but I've been finding it at Walmart lately.
My sister loved Ranch Fritos. They discontinued those in 1998 or so. Two years ago, Ranch Fritos appeared in Walmart. I took a picture and sent it to my sister, and the next day I went back to get her a bag. They were *gone*. That fast. Unbelievable!

When we were kids in the 70's we ate these things by Banquet called Cookin' Bags. You dropped this frozen bag in boiling water. My favorite was the veal parmigian and the also had sliced beef and sliced turkey. Mmmmm. Nobody I know even remembers these but my family. They used to make these toaster things that tasted like cornbread. The brand was Howard Johnsons like the hotel. They were soooo good. Max Factor eye shadow in the shade 18 Karat. Bath and Body Works lotion, shower gel and body spray in Tangerine Spice and Victoria's Secret lotions, perfumes and shower gels in Pear Glacé and Peach Hyacinth and Riviera Sun. Perfumes: Sophia and Calvin Klein. I know CK still makes a lot of perfume but this not this one. It wore it in 1984/1985. It was in a red plastic spray bottle. Loved it. OMG - I ate those too. In fact, I still have a little cook book that I ordered from them to jazz them up - I lived on them in college. |

Tart and Tiny candy
Kotex pads with wings and side gathers - why they discontinued these I do not know. I haven't been able to find them in ages and they were perfect for people like me who need all the protection they can get. About twice a year I email their customer service and ask for them to come back.

This thread is bringing back a lot of memories for me. I really miss K de Krizia perfume. I'm hoarding my last bottle. I wish they would bring back Vaporub cream in a tube. That stuff was so much easier to use than the stuff in a jar. The few items I miss from my youth include the Vidal Sassoon shampoo, Agree shampoo and Avon's Country Breeze perfume. I have a giant bottle of K de Krizia I've been hoarding forever! I loved that stuff so much! |

Cruelty free emu butt gland oil. Why? this is a joke; go read MizIndependent's thread about 'judging at the dogwash' and you'll figure it out. |

Cactus Cooler soda - you can buy it online from specialty stores, but I can't find it in stores any more. I live on the west coast and can find Cactus Cooler in most stores. When I was in college in the Midwest I could never find it and that's when I found out they only distribute to the west coast. |

Sadly, it's more specific than that as they don't carry it in Washington. My kids thought it was awesome when I introduced it to them on a vacation to California. |

I thought of another... Doritos made a blue cheese and buffalo wing flavored chip that wad out of this world good. I could eat a whole bag in one sitting.
Ok, I can eat a whole bag of pretty much any flavor chip in one sitting, but these were seriously good.

I grew up in Southern CA, which is where I drank it. I've been in VA now for 12 years, and haven't seen a can in person in eons. Such sugary goodness!  |

Clearly Canadian
A pumpkin smelling lotion from bath and body works from the year 1999. It was the best smelling lotion.
Also a clear soda called Orbitz? I think that's what it is called, it had these small edible colored jelly balls that would float to the top.

They do make Tart n Tinys again! I found them at a Rocket Fizz store. It's the only place I've seen them. They taste exactly like they used to. This is my new favorite store in town. It is super expensive because I always have my kid with me and we find a ton of goodies there. I also found a pack of Snaps there. The guy there said they don't make them anymore. Whaaaat? |
