You guys know this was re-launched under the name "Vault", right? You can go buy some today.

McDonald's Spicy Chicken. They were only available (at least around here) for a few months back in 2003-2004, then never again. =/ Best spicy chicken sandwich I'd ever had. And that's saying a lot considering it's from McDonald's.

Had one in Thailand about three weeks ago

 

[Zombie Lyle]

Used to get these when I was a kid no idea what happened to them

 

[Triple Oceans]

Wow, you guys have no idea how much I wish Doritos brought these back. These were so much better than the regular Doritos.

 

[Samus4145]

Mr. Pibb - Can only find it at Chipotle or Johnny Rockets here on LI

Pizza Hut Buffalo Chicken Pizza (stuffed crust)

During the mid 2000s, it was an amazing combination of buffalo wing sauce and strips of bonsless chicken breast. Combined with the stuffed crust and a side of ranch dressing and it was heaven in a box. I worked at a Pizza Hut call center taking orders for pizzas and I would routinely grab one of those after my shift on a Friday night.

I also miss some of the 'dirty' candy that I think was produced in a Scandinavian country. There were different kinds of candy with names as birdshit, dog farts, dirty diapers and delicious titties.
Here's a commercial of delicious titties: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6RWYio7bhs&feature=related and dog farts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHzg5Yytqyo

The company BonBon, or whatever they still exist but they have much less different kinds unfortunately.

Ah, I love and hate these threads. Love 'em because people can usually suggest alternatives or even help find a long-lost flavor, but hate because some of them are gone forever.

Sour cream and onion Munch ems. Best snack ever

They had Ranch too, these were sooooo fucking good.

You, sir, are in luck: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=30007908&postcount=108

Just posted that less than an hour ago and I saw this thread pop up. Seriously, anyone jonesin' for some Planters Cheese Balls/Curls needs to give Utz a try, it's 100% gotta be the same damn recipe.

I usually bring home two of the big ass barrels of cheese balls and a couple bags of curls for my brothers in Indiana since they (usually) can't find them there.

orange hi-c used to be the shit too, then they changed the formula and made it orange lavaburst and it blows.

Unless I am mistaken, you can still get the original Orange flavor (not Ecto cooler) at McDonalds. It may not be the same as the store-bought stuff, but I'm like 90% certain the flavor hasn't changed since I was a kid.

But yeah, they need to seriously bring back Ecto Cooler or somebody needs to track down the formula to make it at home.

A restaurant instead of one item but they closed up shop years ago in Canada. Still crave that greasy seafood every once in awhile.

These are quite common in the US, but alas, there are none where I live. Thus, I share your pain. Luckily, when I visit my family for the holidays, I can stop by and get some.

You might try looking for Captain D's, it's supposedly similar (I've heard, have not tried).

To be fair, TGI Fridays makes some great replacements.

Incorrect: TGI Friday's brand is the exact same company (Inventure Brands). From what I've read (yes, I actually researched snack foods to try and find some), they mostly appear in vending machines rather than store shelves.

Their website still lists Tato Skins as a product but you can't actually select that brand on their product locator. I happen to know for a fact, however, that you can still buy them at Meijer since I bought some just last year. Meijer is a chain of Mega Stores in Indiana, Ohio, Michigan (and a few stores in Kentucky and Illinois). If you're passing through or have friends in the midwest, they might be able to hook you up.

Ahh fuck, I LOVED this stuff. Towards the end they came in these metallic canisters that kept them amazingly cold. Damn. =(

 

[Stet]

Read the thread title and immediately thought, "P.B. Crisps, of course."

Well done.

 

[Ramma2]

These were all the rage during high school. Can't say I really miss it as a tasty product, but I do miss being infatuated with stupid things as a kid.

 

[cbox]

these two gems need to come back. instead the retards at fritolay have been giving us the worst flavors possible here in canada. the buffalo one was the worst, smelt like hot trash and tasted even worse. ate two chips and tossed the bag.

You are the man, ketchup doritos were out of this world.

 

[Lakitu]

I need this in my life again so bad

I had one of these the other day.

sogood.gif

I miss these:

Something about chocolate and salt together. Delicious.

 

[Karsticles]

Outback stopped serving these. :-(

 

[Garryk]

Those were great!

This thread is full of nostalgia.

But I am looking for some help remembering the name of a candy I used to have. They were little red gummy shoes, and they would come in a small "shoebox". Each shoe was probably about the size of your thumb.

I remember getting them on halloween during the 90's. Anyone know/remember what I speaking of, or am I crazy?

 

[bengraven]

Here's one that doesn't rely on nostalgia

Stupid Burger King assholes.
.

You're my new best friend. The Italian Chicken is fucking glorious. I worked at BK for the two or three years they kept it in constant rotation and ate so many of these.

 

[jobber]

Yea I saw Vanilla Coke in 12 packs at the store this morning but no 2 liter :|

Crystal Pepsi
and Butterscotch Cake Mix

I hear they still make it but I haven't seen anything in 4 years.


I'll trade a 12 pack of Vanilla Coke for 4 boxes of butterscotch cake mix

 

[Jme]

Bliss. Too good to last :-(

I literally JUST BOUGHT A BOX OF THIS at Target (In Pennsylvania)
I almost punched an old lady in the jaw I was so excited when I saw them.

Also, fuck you OP. PB Crisps? Thanks for reminding me I'll never enjoy these again.

As for fast foods I miss - McDLT (Keep the hot side hot and the cool side cool)
And BK Back Porch Grillers (the best tasting fast food burger I ever had outside of a Five Guys)

lol
you can buy that cereal from amazon

 

[Marleyman]

At least around my way..I like their roast beef sandwiches much more than Arby's.

 

[Jme]

Nope, Vault tastes like shit compared to Surge.

Also, on the subject of sodas, I also miss Crystal Pepsi.
Pepsi Blue can go fuck itself.

There's only 13 Rax stores left in the US. Luckily, my town has one of those 13.

Also, ours is the picture used on the Rax Wikipedia entry. Which is sorta cool.

[Nekofrog]

I used to eat these sour gummi Warheads shaped like the mascot, Wally or whatever his name is. Always bought them in HUGE bags at Suncoast. After the store folded, I never saw them again, anywhere.

I can't even find a TRACE of them on the internet. It's like they never existed.

Best.candy.ever

Wish I could find it somewhere.

[Dreams-Visions]

Ninja Turtles Cereal.

Nets and marshmallows. SO FUCKING GOOD.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

A lot of you don't remember, but besides their core 4 flavors, there were at least 2 others - one called Venom and another one I can't remember, I think maybe Cyclone. Amazing stuff.

 

[sixteen-bit]

those oreos that are covered in a shell of frosting

that sounds delicious

 

[blahness]

I don't usually eat at TGI Fridays but this was probably the only reason to go there.. now its gone

Fiery Chicken Popper Sandwich -
A crispy chicken breast, smothered with cream cheese & jalapeño habanero jelly then topped with jalapeños and mayo. Served on toasted ciabatta bread with fries and a Jalapeño Popper

 

[U n i o n 0015]

The Hostess Ninja Turtle pies. So freakin' good with the green shell and vanilla cream filling.

 

[Nekofrog]

Much, much bigger bag. Probably a pound or more.

Know if they still make these?

Lucky; I had a birthday party there in 3rd grade. You enjoy their roast beef sandwich over Arbys?

 

[Seraphis Cain]

Oh, how could I forget this:

My absolute favorite frozen dinner ever. Sadly, they don't make it anymore. =/

Also, Ranch Fritos. If anyone can find me a decent sized picture of a bag of Ranch Fritos, you'll be my goddamn hero.

Lucky; I had a birthday party there in 3rd grade. You enjoy their roast beef sandwich over Arbys?

Actually I don't eat their roast beef. I basically just go there for their chili cheese fries. sogood.gif

Also, funny story. The family that owned our town's Arby's sold it to open the Rax. :lol

Much, much bigger bag. Probably a pound or more.

Know if they still make these?

From what I can tell, no. Only one website seems to have them available, and it doesn't look like it's been updated in ages. So, yeah, probably not.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

How kids these days can grow up without Ecto-Cooler in their lives baffles me.

 

[Enco]

Couldn't find a picture but Scooby Snacks.

That's right. They made crisps based on Scooby snacks. They were brilliant.

 

[RPGCrazied]

I forget the name, but McDonald's did a calzone stuffed pizza thing, got them all the time back in the day.

 

[Nekofrog]

They still make it, and it's just as tasty as ever.

Lavaburst.

Edit: Or maybe I'm wrong.

 

[YoungHav]

 

[BriareosGAF]

To crosslink with the PA snack thread, apparently Maier's Donuts are no longer made in the tri-state area. Delicious papery cream filled donuts .

 

[Crazymoogle]

I have no idea why Pac Man cereal was still available into the early 90's but it literally was the best cereal I've ever tasted. I could eat it by the box.

 

[FunkyPajamas]

This was a delicious chocolate that you could spread on stuff. Godlike. Made by Lipton.

My favorite cereal when growing up. Yes, I'm aware of the sexual innuendo in the name. I didn't care

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Lavaburst.

Edit: Or maybe I'm wrong.

You're wrong

And also Green Tangerine isn't on the market anymore either, meaning we're all stuck with Lavaburst and its crappy lack of tangerines and greeness.

 

[GraveRobberX]

(Green apple "Manzanita Sol", PepsiCo)
I never see this soda again =(

It is here in NYC by the fucking truck loads

I live in Corona Queens, very dense Hispanic community

They have the 1 liter for $2.00....so good

 

[DTJAAAAM]

The top of my list will always be 7UP gum.

 

[Seraphis Cain]

Oh, also this. Best soda ever.

 

[ph33nix]

I don't think it's been discontinued but I sure as hell never see this at the grocery store anymore.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

These were the shit back in the day.

 

[DiabolicalBagel]

Used to get this in the UK. not sure if it still exists

It does, but I can only ever find the small boxes of them. Having a glass of it right now. <3
Also, if you mix it with the right amount of the chocolate you can get it to taste like plastic modelling glue, which is fantastic... but quicly becomes sickening.

 

[Bulbo Urethral Baggins]

I'm probably the only one here who misses this:
