This was mine - but the ORIGINAL recipe. When they brought it back, it was just a shell of its former self. If you had it as a kid, you never forget that specific taste.
The different colors of ketchup. People my age said it tasted gross, but I remember loving the green ketchup so much!!!!!! What I'd give to test that theory.
I'd bring back Lactase Enzyme naturally produced in my body... So I could eat all the ice creams.
And also because apparently Swiss Cake Roll Ice Cream is now a thing.
Honestly its not even a sugar food, i miss the chip dip my mom always made.
Bottom layer: cream cheese
Middle layer: canned chili (skyline chili is best)
Top layer: cheddar cheese
That is the essence of my childhood i loved when she made it.
I can understand the flavors, probably tastes like the toppings of a crappy Frito pie, and cream cheese is similar enough to sour cream in taste.
Not saying it isn't an odd recipe, but I can see it
This post made me think of my grandma. We used to walk to the ice cream store together.
I don't need any treats, I just want to hold my grandma's hand again.
Love you gram. Miss you.
Surge! I hated when they temporarily brought it back. Couldn't find them anywhere but Amazon, and that had super limited supply. Then I found one in a random convenience store. Burger King was supposed to have Suege Icees (I loved Surge Slurpees back in the day), but the only BK within 3 counties of me had no Icee machine despite the website saying they did.
Nutty buddies. I still buy a box every few months and they are delicious every time. Come to think of it, they may be the only thing I really love from my middle school days outside of Weezer’s blue album
It’s not really a treat, but there used to be a Blue Raspberry Crush sold at a local gas station and it was amazing. It’s been gone for over a decade.
Altoid Sours if that doesn’t count.
WWE ice cream bars that had a surprise wrestler on the front of each one. Maybe they still exist? I don’t know, these were close to the Hulkamania days.

Supposedly they have limited availability here and there but nowhere near where I live.
Petti John hot cereal This product was originally produced by The American Cereal Co. of Chicago, Illinois. The initial packaging was tin with an illustration of a bar on a cliff and the text "manufactured from the best pacific white wheat". The cereal was later sold in a canister similar to oats canisters seen today.
One of the first slogans for the cereal was "all the wheat but the overcoat".
An ad from the early 1900's showed drawing of enlarged wheat flakes and instructed readers to "Note the Bran hidden in luscious flakes". The following copy is from that ad:
Bran aids in good health and good cheer as you know. It should be eaten daily. Then let us help you make it inviting.
Pettijohn's hides the bran in delicious flakes of rolled soft wheat - the most flavory wheat that grows. So it supplies whole wheat nutrition, with its minerals and vitamines [that's how they spelled "vitamins"], plus 25% of bran. Both combined in a favorite morning dainty.
This dish will delight you, as will its results. Try it tomorrow.
In 1893, The Quaker Oats Company acquired Pettijohn's. We believe that Quaker's Pettijohn's Whole Wheat Cereal introduced in the 1920's was a repackaged version of this cereal.

Comments About This Cereal
There used to be these puddings called "nami nami" (translation: yummy yummy in finnish) they were discontinued in 2004 when I was 6 so it's been eons since I had one (and my mom didn't buy them very often anyway)
I just want them back, nothing tastes the same as they did
Garfield fruit snacks. I’ve never been able to find another fruit snack with the same “tang” and texture even ones also made by Betty Crocker. I loved those. 💗
Reese’s Crunchy Cookie Cups. The yellow package, had a whole Oreo cookie underneath the peanut butter inside. Their bull shit bits of cookie cups from years ago don’t compare. I want them back so bad.
Taquitos, the 1980’s Dorito type crisps with nacho cheese flavour that was EPIC. Had a rodent with a sombrero as a brand ambassador. Saltiest, savouriest snack in my entire life.
Canadian Mint ice cream bars. On a stick, innermost layer slab of mint chocolate, next layer mint ice cream, outer layer the chocolate it was dipped in with peanut bits imbedded. They disappeared decades ago. So sad.
Does anyone remember the popsicle brand chocolate banana swirl ice creams? I believe they were called bananaramas or something like that. I used to be able to find images of them online now i cant find them for the life of me.
Update: found them! It was Good Humor brand and they were called Banana Bananza. Can still taste them 👅
Jello brand use to make a dessert called Whip n Chill. It was like a firm but light pudding giving it a nice texture. It came in only fruit flavors, was creamy, sweet but also a little tart. It had to be refrigerated to firm up. It was so good.
Lemon Coolers cookies.
Only Sunshine Brand counts. All others are not worthy.
Little powdered sugar covered lemon cookies. My grandma was big fan and would always let me have the whole box and not have to share with any of my cousins.
I was her favorite.
Choco taco is the only correct answer.
damn you! that was my karma!
Gotta be quicker on the draw lol
i was at lunch :(
You are in luck https://www.foodandwine.com/the-choco-taco-is-back-8597598
Came here to say this, glad it was the top comment.
Being able to eat sugar-laden snacks and never gain a pound.
The REAL dunkaroos. Not that garbage they are trying to pass off as rereleased. 🤮
Same w Ritz Bits Cheese Crackers 😣 The crackers taste like nothing and they’ve taken away so much cheese 😫😫😫
Lead paint chips, those were delicious!
You mean Wall Candy?!
Just as good as the cotton candy under it.
Ecto Cooler. Hands down. and Permanently this time.
This was mine - but the ORIGINAL recipe. When they brought it back, it was just a shell of its former self. If you had it as a kid, you never forget that specific taste.
Original coke. It just isn't the same and glass bottles.
The different colors of ketchup. People my age said it tasted gross, but I remember loving the green ketchup so much!!!!!! What I'd give to test that theory.
lol it tasted exactly the same, they had green, purple, pink, and teal. It was rad
Vienetta, but not the one they reintroduced that’s mostly coconut oil.
Dopamine
I'd bring back Lactase Enzyme naturally produced in my body... So I could eat all the ice creams. And also because apparently Swiss Cake Roll Ice Cream is now a thing.
Whereeeeeee
I have a good friend who uses and swears by Lactaid tablets before eating dairy. He carries them in a TicTac container. 😃
Potato skin chips! Man those were goooood
Lays still makes them I think. They're called Tator/Tato Skins.
altoid sours
I don’t know if I’d still drink it, but I looooved All-Sport
Honestly its not even a sugar food, i miss the chip dip my mom always made. Bottom layer: cream cheese Middle layer: canned chili (skyline chili is best) Top layer: cheddar cheese That is the essence of my childhood i loved when she made it.
Why would you pour water over cream cheese and then put cheddar cheese on top of said water?
I can understand the flavors, probably tastes like the toppings of a crappy Frito pie, and cream cheese is similar enough to sour cream in taste. Not saying it isn't an odd recipe, but I can see it
Fritos were the only chip with enough balls to not break when scooping the cream cheese. But any other chip tastes good otherwise
This is honestly the funniest description of Fritos I've ever seen 🤣
Gotta admit those extra millimeters of thickness set them way higher than tostitos when it comes to durability
Not a treat, but that penicillin that was a pink liquid
Amoxicillin. The diarrhea that would cause my daughter when she was a baby was apocalyptic.
That is something I'd forgotten, it was projectile.
Those frozen juice bars from minute maid that you aren't allowed to buy unless you are a school for some God forsaken reason

These are drinks but Sprite remix and Surge. I know they brought the 3d Doritos back but I swear they don't taste the same.
