Wildland Aronia Berry Juice Cocktail, from CostCo.

The color was a little purpler than cranberry juice. They replaced it with grape juice, not as good.

Can't find a pic on google. The juice was around in the 90s.

Edit: Bing had one:

It seems this instance very stupidly blocks images from i m g b b so I had to go hunting for another host. Great work admins.

Grillmix shakers in Hungary. They had great flavours, we used them on everything... then one day they simply ceased to exist.

Josta. Pepsi's first "energy drink" that they released in the mid 90's, made with guarana AND caffeine.

This was back in the days when Pepsi could "sponser" a middle school by putting a branded soda machine in a common area. It's how I ended up drinking grape Fuitopia every day at lunch, and every day I'd get a bottle of Josta for the walk home.

It wasn't immediately palatable. Reminiscent of Moxie but without the waxy aftertaste. It was like drinking carbonated cough syrup. But just like the other energy drinks that would follow a few years later, I really came to appreciate the taste.

It recently popped up in the background of a scene of the first season of Loki which had me hopeful for a revival, but no such luck.

Mountain Dew Throwback. As far as I can tell it hasn't been fully discontinued, but I haven't been able to find it anywhere around me. It used real sugar instead of corn syrup. I hate the basic, corn syrup stuff but thought the throwback stuff tasted pretty good.

Archway Rocky Road cookies. It was their best variety by far, but they discontinued them.

In China I used to be able to buy hotpot flavored Lay’s potato chips. Typical beef hot and spicy flavor. Somehow they disappeared but they were the best

No one is going to say it? Really now.

I miss the Twinkies. Not the cloud cakes. Not the bitter chemicals they sell called Twinkies. The actual american decadent sponge cake with a cream center.

Also, my father used to buy circus peanuts around the same time every year, when I was a boy. I don't know the flavor, but it wasn't fake banana that's common now.

Cheddar saltine crackers. Premium made them, but I think it was only for a year or two.

Monster has a line of canned coffee-like products they call their Java series. One of them was Swiss Chocolate flavored. It is discontinued, always separated, left an awful sludge in the bottom of the can, but I loved those things.

From '03 to '06, there was a guacamole flavored Dorito. Best bag snack I've ever had.

Soylent Green. People have no taste these days.

R.B. Rice Cheese Soup. Not only a great cheese soup, but it made a heck of a queso dip.

Bro, where you live you can't get a BEC Bagel at McD's?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

They took them off the menu in the US and only brought them back to select locations.
