There is nothing better than enjoying a meal you enjoy. It is one of life’s pleasures.
It will always be there for you, right?
Plot twist: No! Food is constantly being discontinued. And the grief this leaves behind is real.
People told us all about the foods they miss after Redditor Artistic_Flood asked the online community:
“What discontinued food do you miss the MOST?”
“Do you remember that?”
“HOSTESS PIES! Remember those? They came in lemon, apple, cherry, and (my personal favorite) blackberry flavors. Ever since I got pregnant, I’ve been craving this sweet package of nostalgia, only to find out they’re no longer available.”

I remember them, especially why I didn’t eat them, hahaha!
“Remember the old version of apple pie at McDonald’s? It was like the Hostess Pie, only deep fried. It was amazing.”
“Then they changed the recipe to make the crust flaky – yuck. Then I noticed that the apple empanada at Taco Bell was pretty similar. Then they discontinued it!”

I remember them. They were pretty good, but then again… I was young.
I’m an adult now and have different taste buds. I don’t think it would turn out well if I tried one of these today.
“These different types…”
“These different kinds of cereal straws. Those things were amazing.”

“You changed the recipe…”
“They changed the recipe for Cadbury Creme Eggs a few years ago. They’re still around as a brand, but the new ones are rubbish.”

That doesn’t surprise me. That’s why we can’t have nice things.
“The stuff…”
“Dunkaroos. The stuff they put back in the stores is NOT the same as it was before.”

“The one with the green apple…”
“Light green Skittles. The ones with the green apple drowned out the rest and didn’t match at all.”

“The square pizza…”
“The old Totino’s pizza. Like when they were round? The square pizza they have now is awful compared to the old version.”

This probably involves a change in the quality of the ingredients. What a pity.
“I still think about…”
“I still think about my favorite flavor of Ben & Jerry’s (which is now discontinued), Oatmeal Cookie Chunk. Apparently that’s one of the flavors the company misses the most. They discontinued it because the supplier that made the cookies went out of business.”

I’ve never had this before and now I’m sad I didn’t! Sounds so, so good.
“Not those who…”
“Burger King’s Italian chicken sandwich. Not the ones they’ve been experimenting with for the past few years, but the original from the ’90s.”

“The really crispy ones…”
“These really crispy potato chips baked in pure peanut oil were the best. A peanut allergy ruined it. I blame the victims.”
