    A few years ago, Morningstar used to have a vegetarian rib patty. Once I realized its potential as a vegetarian McRib, I bought a pack. It was delicious. I bought another pack.

    And then it was gone from shelves in every store that had it.

    Big Ed’s Super Saucer

    They were at least twice as big as the current brands (the most prominent being ugh Nestlé) of pre-made ice cream cookie sandwiches, and were only around a dollar or two. Not to mention 10 times tastier.

    I miss them. I miss them so fucking much… 😖

    Learning how they operated the business while trying to figure out why they suddenly stopped being sold around me, it makes sense. They just relied on word of mouth while also changing the areas they serviced making it difficult to actually acquire product.

    Pop Tarts. They still make them but the ingredients have changed and the quality declined so significantly that they are a different product than they used to be.

      I haven’t had them for many years, so don’t know what if anything might have changed, but I’d point out that there are a lot of companies that make competing…I think they’re called “toaster pastries”.

      Maybe try one of them, see if they work? They should ship pretty easily, so even if a local grocery store don’t have 'em where you are, I bet that they can be ordered.

      googles

      Yeah:

      My mother stocked up on the frosted grape ones when they became hard to find a while ago

    In Germany we had a joghurt back in the 90s called “Frufo” (a portmanteau of Frucht (fruit) and UFO), which was basically just a strawberry joghurt in a flat, round package with a hole in the middle for a small toy. They even released pralines, which were filled with the same joghurt and were pure delish, especially cold out of the fridge on a hot summer day.

    Everywhere I go, people my age miss that. It just needs the question “Hey, remember Frufo?” to send them to memory lane :)

    Tostinos used to have a pizza called “zesty italian”. It was the best pizza there was. A Lil spicy with Canadian bacon, pepperoni, fennel, and Italian sausage.

    I have spent 25 years missing those things.
