Doesn't it seem like every time you find a snack you really like, the store ends up not carrying it anymore, it is no longer made or the price gets too damn high that you quit buying it ?
Here are a few on my list:
Bell Burgers from Taco Bell
Bacon flavored crackers
Bubs Daddy chewing gum, especially the grape, sour apple, and cherry flavors. (those gave off a strong aroma)
Brachs candy that was sold by the pound. Some were little white squares with pieces of fruit inside.
Kraft Fudgies and Caramels
There used to be these mints that came in two flavors, the pink ones were wintergreen and the white ones were peppermint. They were as round as a nickel and each one had XXX stamped on it.
If any of these ever make an appearance again I can imagine what the price would be. A few years ago I went into this little store and saw a sign on one of the shelves that read " Retro Candy " and I was holding up a pack of Blackjack gum. The lady saw me and said, " I bet you remember that as a kid."
I told her I did but not at that price. $1.00 for 5 sticks of gum? Holy shit. Foolishly I bought it anyway and chewed and then remembered how fast it ran out of taste.

Marathon bars I was driving through Arizona once and stopped at a little mom & pop's filling station and they had an old soda machine that carried 10oz glass bottles of soda made with sugar, not corn syrup. The machine still said 15 cents but they had it set to 50 cents. They tasted a lot better than the plastic bottled corn syrup crap you get today. I hear that the soda with sugar comes from Mexico. |

Jolt
Although approaching 50 and taking meds for high blood pressure, I think it's a good thing.
The "Monster" cereals being a available year-round and not just around Halloween.

Mister Softee ice cream.
Yeah, I know it's just soft serve and you can get it anywhere, but to beg mom for twenty cents so I could catch the truck coming down the street...
Imagine my shock and excitement when I found that Petco Park in San Diego has Mister Softee stands in the concourse!

Imagine my shock and excitement when I found that Petco Park in San Diego has Mister Softee stands in the concourse! We had two trucks come down our street. The first one sold popsicles and gum, then when it started getting dark another truck called Mister Frosty that sold ice cream cones would drive down. I chased them every day, never had any money, I would just watch other kids buy stuff and then I would go home and throw tantrums. |

The town where my cousins lived had a Tastee Freeze. Also very good. |

Goo Goo Candy. I think you can get them at Cracker Barrel.
Sun Drop Soda. I grew up drinking it in the South.
Ok, so not an item but a practice. I loved putting my Tom's Peanuts into my bottled Coke. Good times.
