23 Beloved, But Discontinued Products People Want Brought Back

There’s nothing worse than when you get hooked on something that becomes your favorite food or beverage and then it gets taken away.

For example, when Taco Bell discontinued the Mexican Pizza I was crushed because it was my favorite item. They finally brought it back, but it felt very calculated, like a marketing stunt. But, at least we got to have it back. Unlike the things people are reminiscing about in this viral AskReddit thread.

What discontinued thing do you really want brought back?

#1

Deep-fried McDonald’s apple pie. The one from the 1980s to 1990s. The one that was crispy and the temperature of molten plutonium inside. That s**t was the best.

#2

Surprises in the cereal boxes!

Not the “enter two codes inside on our website” bull. Actual, physical THINGS in a package floating somewhere in that box of Cheerios!

#3

Old school Pizza Hut. RIP to the salad bar with that amazing creamy Italian dressing and being able to get pitchers of beer or Pepsi.

#4

When you would win a free coke from the plastic bottle cap. Those were the best. Or the McDonald’s monopoly game when you could win free fries or something.

#5

Jello pudding pops. Without Cosby.

#6

Altoid Sours.

Loved those so much and still use the little tins to store random things

#7

The Philadephia Cheesecake Bars. I loved the strawberry ones, I can’t remember if there were other flavors.

#8

All day breakfast at McDonald’s

#9

Apple empanadas from Taco Bell

#10

Listerine mouth strips

#11

McDonald’s Snack Wraps. I could eat like 4 in a single sitting.

#12

The old Wendy’s fries from the 90s

#13

Butterfinger. It isn’t discontinued but I wish Ferrero would go back to the original Nestle recipe. It tastes like I dropped a Butterfinger in a pile of sawdust and let it sit there until it expired and then ate it. No similar product can really compare to the original Butterfinger.

#14

Chi0-Chi’s! I don’t know what was better…the queso dip, the fajitas, or the fried ice cream.

#15

I wish Coke would stop fuggin around with dream-flavored cola and just bring Ecto Cooler back again.

***FOR GOOD*** this time, Coke.

#16

Taco Bell’s Grilled Stuffed Burrito. I have no idea why they discontinued it. It was the only thing on the menu I would order. Nothing else comes close.

#17

Enchiritos from Taco Bell.

#18

Orville Redenbacher’s microwave caramel corn.

#19

Crystal Pepsi

#20

I’m not really into Dr. Pepper, but the Berries & Cream Dr. Pepper had a chokehold on me that no other soda has ever had.

Also smoothie skittles, and lime skittles.

#21

Rice Krispie Treats Cereal. It was Rice Krispie treats AS CEREAL. It was too good for this world. I miss it.

#22

HERSHEY’S CHOCOLATE MILK POWDER!!! The flavor and the texture of the powder were like no other chocolate milk in the history of mankind. It was so delicious that our family’s main method of consuming it was to barely dip a shallow spoonful of the powder into milk, scoop up the barely dissolved milky powder, and eat it straight. Hershey’s discontinued it in favor of their chocolate syrup, which was the worst decision ever made by a corporation. I would do anything to get it back.

#23

Oreo cakesters. That s**t was delicious
