BK Mocha Joe
Onion Petals (Arby's)
Sundance Sparkler - it was a carbonated fruit drink without sugar, or artificial sweeteners
Seven Seas Red Wine Vinaigrette (available in some areas, but not mine)
Chef Boyardee vegetable ravioli
Philadelphia cheesecake bites
Mediterranean Veggie sandwich - Sold at Panera, and a charlatan of the same name has taken its place. Now the sandwich is complete crap. The original had carmalized onions and roasted red bell peppers. Neither of these ingredients are found in the fraud sandwich. It was beyond delicious.

Anyone else remember a line of toy action figures in the 1970s (and their oh-so nifty accessories!) called Cyborg, Android and Muton? I had almost the whole set, AND the spaceship too! *fond memories of grandma playing with the ship's missile launchers lol*

They still sell it here in WV. You should ask your grocer to stock it. I have only seen it in cans here.

I bought my daughter a real Popples a few years ago. This one would giggle if you pressed its tummy. I miss Teddy Ruxpen(sp) too.

Also Hugga Bunch dolls and the CareBears. Anyone else remember the orange flavored Triamenic kids medicine? That stuff tasted great.

Teddy lives in Florida. I have a Teddy Ruxpin and most of the outfits and stories... his creator is a friend of mine (after the fact of my purchasing Teddy for my collection.)

Over a relatively long period of time they phased out the Automat. As usual, higher-profit tenants of their store space were found and the Automat owners couldn't pay the higher rents. So, one after another, in a slow cascade of dying historical businesses, the Automat was no more. I remember the Automat in the fondest possible ways. My parents took us to the Automat not for the quality of the food but for the adventure of putting the nickles in the slot and opening the little door. Best fishcakes and spaghetti in New York. God bless them. Rest in Peace. Take care.

Fels Naptha is still sold in some stores around my area.

I miss those instant Polaroid cameras and film packs! I still have my camera, but they stopped making them and the film a few years ago. I'm a bit of a technophobe, so I liked 'em a lot (even though the camera's really clunky), plus I like the instant gratification of a photo popping right out.

I SOOOOOOOO miss that flavour. Not such a fan of the other ones they have available...

I also miss "English Toffee" cappuccinos from Tim Hortons. They took them off the market and it's very sad.

I miss Dandy floor wax--it was the bestest wax for wood floors-I suspect it was a mixture of polyurethane and something else.

Also, I miss Empirin, which was an over the counter pain medicine.

It was the best non-opiate; it'd kill the pain 15 minutes after you took it.

There were these frozen u-bakes scones you could buy in the freezer section. Bake for 15 minutes and voila, fresh scones! Now I actually have to bake scones from scratch or a mix--how tedious.

I get my milk delivered weekly by the milkman. But no cream on top.

Sulfacet original formula acne medicine, which was in a clay-based vehicle. They stopped making it a few years ago. The generic is in a completely different vehicle that does not help my acne. Very frustrating! No one in the world makes this now.

Tawaka hair shampoo & conditioner discontinued production. It had a horrible smoky smell but it was so wonderful for my frizzy hair...made is smooth & silky. I still have the concentrated jar of it to put on your hair before washing it, but I loved the shampoo & conditioner that I just used in the shower.
