I miss
- Sparkling Liptonice. If this was still around I might not even drink beer.
- the Calippo that came in the cup. The one in the tube is hard to eat without drooling it all over yourself.
That's about it, but i REALLY miss Sparkling Ice tea. I'm desperate. If anyone knows another brand... I'm clawing at the walls.
The floor is open....
skittles.
haven't seen a pack for farken AAAAGes
Grape Fanta, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, dammit!
tooobs!
kirks creaming soda... the yellow variety.
supermarkets seem to have stopped stocking tabasco chipotle sauce
Buzz Bars and Choo Choo tubes.. oh where did you go to..
And their predecessor, Hooley Dooleys!
Mmmmm.. Sour skittles.
that yoghurt that had the museli on top. not the double-ups. they were crap in comparison. what i'm talking about came in a regular yoghurt container, but with like a double-lid that contained toasted museli.
I see skittles
Honey Nougat Magnum: I bought shitloads of 'em when i heard they were being booted. and then i was sick of them after about 4. and had 20 or so still in my freezer. my housemates were in heaven. now i miss em again
on the same theme, Homer Hudson Honey Malt Marbles tub icecream. Maltesers in honey icecream. Rockin'
Ruffles. Salt n Vinegar specifically, but any Ruffles would make me a happy camper
You can get the Reese's peanut butter cups at the corner shop near me...
tails, you in Sydney?
norco thick chocs... frozen thickshakes. can't get them in melbourne. damn.
You can also get Ruffles at Coles - I had some a month or so ago. Before that they 'd been missing for years.
TOOBS!
The roof of your mouth would be red-raw and possibly bleeding and yet they were good enough to compel you to keep eating. that's like salt AND sandpaper in a wound. Man I miss those things.
Salt and vinegar flavoured Nik-Naks!! OH YES!
you can get toobs from vic market, and the richmond market on saturdays, theyre no name brand "bbq tubes" or some such, but taste the same.
i think..
eep! you are the source of all our joys!
i am stopping at coles on the way home tonight. i'm hoping northcote has a ruffles supply-demand thing happening. because I DEMAND RUFFLES.
you can get the reese peanut butter cups at the american food store in the 'burbs of melbourne
thenewmeatloaf can tell you where
david jones foodhall (and possibly myer foodhall) in the city should have em as well.
penut butter cups that is.
they were awesome, toob-bender. everytime i think of them a single tear rolls down my cheek. they don't make chips like them anymore.
can cherry coke also fit into this thread? not discountinued from what some say, but not widely available as it were. how else am i meant to rot my teeth? grrr.

i really really really miss that cheese flavoured popcorn that came in the black packet with the picture of the big corn cob popping on the front
i also miss the early 90s style salt-and-vinegar ruffles, the new ones don't taste the same
and i miss cherry coke like fuck
I was so disappointed when I found out space food sticks weren't what people actually ate in space.
What a gyp.
You can get Cherry Coke from foodworks or those sugar fix shops Puretokyo :)
melody pops weren't very melodious
they werent at all... ended up spitting everywhere after 5 seconds...
WHAT????
What he said.
Fry's Five Fruits chocolate bars. Mum and I were addicted to these many moons ago.
Fry's were supposedly the first company to manufacture a chocolate confectionery on a factory scale...
Much love for the FFF shown here.
The five flavours were: orange (the colour of Valencia’s national fruit, mmmm juicy), lemon (like the morning sun, peeking over dewy mountains), lime (fresh cut grass, smells soooo good), strawberry (pale pink, sweet goopiness) and raspberry (the most exciting flavour of all).

Just yesterday I had an incredible craving for Jolt Cola.
Coles used to also sell this weird shit that was lightly carbonated black coffee in a bottle. As far as I know I was the only person who ever drank it. The world doesn't know what it missed.
Chickadees chips were great when I was seven. The chips were crap but they had a comic strip on the packet.
yeah richie they were cooool
I have seen that jolt cola stuff round the place here in Canberra. I didn't realize it had been around for long i just assumed it was something new.
yeah it's super easy to get discontinued soft drinks in canberra: dr pepper, cherry coke, jolt &c.
it's an underrated wonderland
Orange KitKats
Apparently they're just a version of the ones they used in space. i.e. they came up with the food technerology, then modified it for commercial use.
Now that Toobs are back, the two discontinued food items I sorely miss are Tangy BBQ CC's (oh my, I used to give myself the most wicked headaches from those things, especially when they were only sold in the big packets...) and Cracked Pepper Le Snaks (can't imagine why they stopped making them. They were awesome!)
red vines. they are a really delicious red licorice you can still get from the US, but i have not seen them in aus in about 9 years. and oh how i miss them.
mind you, it is probably better for me that my addiction was cut short...
Rubies - try Sugar Fix for Red Vines.. im pretty sure i have seen them there
schweppes ''Classic Berry'' flavoured drink, wierd shit.
and vice versas
oh yes!
i went to the original lolly store on lygon today and they had jolly ranchers and snapple ($6 a bottle but) and i'm pretty sure they had toobs too
