When I was a super young kid, I remember going to the store occasionally, where my mom would rarely buy me these yogurt gummy candies as a treat. I absolutely loved them, they were delicious. However, they were discontinued or something like 20 years ago. There isn’t much I wouldn’t do to get more of them. I’d even make them myself if I could find a recipe.

I think the brand name was Campinos. IIRC they were mostly a hard candy brand, but those soft candies were a million times better than any other candy I could have had as a kid.

Edit: I just googled them since they were on my mind. It seems like they’re out of stock everywhere but here’s a product listing https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/campino-yogourt-gummies-120g/10192347

I’d say Planter’s Cheez Balls and lime green skittles, but people wised up and brought those back recently.

McSkillet burrito, so yummy :(

Monster has a line of canned coffee-like products they call their Java series. One of them was Swiss Chocolate flavored. It is discontinued, always separated, left an awful sludge in the bottom of the can, but I loved those things.

Dunkin Donuts movie tie-in drink from Men in Black 3. I think I got one every day for the 3 months it existed.

Croissant Pockets. Hot Pockets also had a Beef and Cheddar flavor a long time ago and whatever equivalent they have now is not the same.

Smart Foods also used to have a spicy cheese popcorn but they changed it to an even hotter version. I can barely taste the cheese now. Bring back the original!

Smurfberry Crunch

Brisk fruit punch and sidekicks garlic alfredo spaghetti. Sad days when those were discontinued

Now and laters had some less common flavors that were soooo good. Cherry Cola 🤤Now it's impossible to find anything outside of the 4-5 flavors in big containers.

Pepsi Blue. They brought it back for like a week and it was amazing.

Fiery Habanero Doritos

They introduced two new peanut flip flavours. One was Mexican and the other was oriental or something. They kept the Mexican one and ditched the superior oriental for some reason. Still thinking about them from time to time.

Devil's Food cake/cookies. Originally they were Nabisco: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/9b/a0/af/9ba0af2803a08d55bdc523ad21648559.jpg The red and yellow box. These were a wonderful memory from my childhood. Then you could only find Snackwell's version. They were like 95% of what I remembered, not exact but so close they were still good. The last box I got (in the before times) tasted absolutely terrible and nothing like they used to. Tasted like dryness and absence of sweetness with no chocolate flavor. Texture wrong, everything wrong. Amazon would not accept my review of the new recipe. I may have compared them to the Devil's butthole. Evidently those are discontinued now. I guess they went the route of making the new recipe so hateful we would celebrate the end of the production.

I'd love to be able to have something that tastes like the original ones though.

Cocoa Hoots cereal. Loved those; fifty years on and I still remember how they tasted…
