Dunkaroos These little packages of heaven were the best snack to get in the lunch box. One side contained little kangaroo shaped cookies, while the other contained a scoop of delicious chocolate or vanilla frosting. The perfect combination to make it the perfect lunch. -
2.
Planters Cheez Balls You may be able to get regular cheese balls these days, however you can’t get these. Nothing quite compares to the perfect Planters Cheez Balls. Maybe it’s the the fact that they came in a can, or possibly the fake cheese flavoring. Regardless, these were perfect. -
3.
Suzy Q’s Most of the line of Hostess treats were quite delicious, but there was always something special about the Suzy Q’s. It was like an ice cream sandwich that you didn’t have to keep in the freezer. It was always a treat when mom caved in and let you get these little guys. -
4.
Chocolate Vanilla Creme Pop Tarts Very few kids out there could turn down a pop tart. It’s a shame that these ones didn’t stick around. Sure they were great when you toasted them, but the secret to unlock their true potential was to stick them in the freezer. It’s all coming back now, isn’t it? -
5.
BK Chicken Fries These weren’t discontinued until just a few years ago and what a shame. Nothing screamed delicious more than chicken made in the shape of french fries. It was like getting fries with your fries. Even though these were completely unnatural looking, you can’t deny that they were extremely delicious. They will be missed. -
6.
Altoids Sours Regular Altoids were always a bit too minty, but these saved the day. Although they were extremely sour at fist, they turned super sweet after a few seconds. They must have been made with some sort of addictive substance because it was almost impossible to eat just one. Who are you kidding, you ate the whole can in one sitting. -
7.
Fruitopia Oh, the glory days of Fruitopia. This sugary drink was all the rave, and it was the perfect way to con your parents into thinking you were drinking a fruity beverage. Although it was delicious, this stuff was terrible for you and therefore it was pulled. -
8.
Carnation Breakfast Bar With the perfect blend of chocolate, peanut butter, and granola, these bars were definitely a reason to eat breakfast. As one of the original breakfast bars, these were on point. They were basically a candy bar slapped with a ‘breakfast bar’ logo because they had granola. Nice move Carnation. -
9.
Apple Newtons It was always a disappointment biting into a Newton bar, only to find that it was the original fig flavor. These apple Newtons were on a whole other level, though. Delicious apple filling, cluttered with apple chunks and surrounded by a cake coating. Now that’s more like it. -
10.
Squeezit Sure you can still buy the Kool-Aid versions of these in the grocery store, but nothing compared to Squeezit. Something about that bottle was so enticing as a kid. Twist, squeeze, and go. You’ll be missed Squeezit. -
11.
Rice Krispies Treats Cereal Hell yeah! Nothing beats dessert for breakfast. As a kid, it was always the goal the have the best tasting, most unhealthy breakfast that you could. Unfortunately it was impossible to convince your parents that it was a good idea. -
12.
Doritos 3D’s It’s a mystery why these things were ever discontinued. Doritos were good, but when you puff them up into 3D traingles they became so much better. Plus, they came in crazy, awesome flavors that will forever be missed. -
13.
Crystal Pepsi There really was no point to this stuff as it still tasted like Pepsi. But the whole thing about it being clear was so enticing. As a kid, it was impossible not to want this stuff. -
14.
Oreo O’s Another cereal that blurred the lines between breakfast and dessert. Who cares! It was so good to pour yourself a bowl and eat the wonderful cookie flavored bites. The best part, though, was the milk afterwards because it magically turned into chocolate milk! It doesn’t get much better than that. -
15.
Heinz EZ Squirt Purple Ketchup Nothing was more enticing than purple ketchup. Okay, maybe there was, but you can’t say that you didn’t want to try this when it existed. The only thing different was the color, which was enough to gross enough people out until it was pulled. -
16.
Keebler Magic Middles There wasn’t much better than a shortbread cookie loaded up with fudge. Seriously, these thing were so damn good. There is legitimately no good reason for these being discontinued. Please Keebler, do us all a favor and bring these back! -
17.
Cinnamon Tic-Tacs Essentially Big Red in pill form, these little guys were delicious. You were always the cool kid in school if you had a pack of these jiggling around in your pocket. -
18.
PB Max Crumbled cookie, a dollop of peanut butter, and a milk chocolate coating made these things to die for. As a hybrid between a snack and a candy bar, it makes sense why they didn’t last. It’s a damn shame though. -
19.
Turtle Pies It wasn’t so much that these things were delicious. It was more the fact that you were a badass if you pulled one of these puppies out of your lunchbox. Everyone loved the Ninja Turtles. -
20.
Shark Bites Last but not least, Shark Bites. These were some of the best fruit snacks to grace grocery store shelves. There was just something so perfect about the flavor and consistency of these that made them absolutely perfect. Plus, they were in the shape of sharks. Every kid loves sharks.
