Top 10 Delicious Candies We WISH Were Still Available

when we finally get that time machine up and running a candy store is gonna be our very first stuff that's gonna welcome to watchmojo.com and today we're counting down our picks for the top ten candies we wish were still readily available before we begin we publish new videos every day so be sure to subscribe for more great content for this list we're looking at the most beloved candies and sweets to ever disappear from store shelves in some cases we may not have realized just how great they were until they were gone to be considered for this list a product needs to have been generally discontinued not just made unavailable in certain markets number 10 PB Mac's the PB and PB Mac's doesn't mean penguin sold in a box containing six individually wrapped snacks these treats we're clearly candy bars disguised as snack bars and as kids we were totally complicit in the con running to get these whenever our parents let us pick out granola bars for school so long as they didn't look too closely at your selection you were in the clear [Music] despite the misleading packaging these bad boys were loaded with everything a kid could want from a candy bar overly sweet peanut butter and crunchy cookie all smothered in chocolate despite doing 50 million dollars in sales the Mars company decided to pull the plug why apparently the Mars family just wasn't all that into peanut butter now that's maximum satisfaction even if you're as wholesome as a brown boy that's pure bliss number 9 the Real Ghostbusters Slimer bubblegum children are notoriously picky eaters kids'll turn their noses up at any texture or flavor profile more complex than a chicken finger or peanut butter on toast and yet most kids love gross candy what better way to get your kicks as a child than with translucent green slime that you can squeeze out of a toxic looking tube straight into your mouth to the shock and horror of anyone watching a few chews later and voila it's gum it was like a party trick for kids that invoke the image of eating boogers on an industrial scale what's not to like well the fact that it was discontinued released in 1989 in tandem with Ghostbusters - this product was never long for this world number eight jumbo nerds for fans of nerds there is a whole slew of discontinued spin-offs we want back dweebs a soft chewy nerd like candy nerds gum traditional looking nerds that turned into gum and many more but sometimes it's the simplest variation that you missed the most so if we could get just one nerds product back it would be jumbo nerds in place of your typical two flavors - a box arrangement the Jumbo variety delivered a rainbow assortment of oversized nerds roughly two to three times the size of the original candies it's a simple variation but one that did the trick and one that is dearly missed number 7 Wonka doughnuts wanna bring home the imagination of journey of the Chocolate Factory Wonka strikes again solid chocolate donut shaped piece of deliciousness with a truffle like smooth Center all covered in sprinkles Wacka donuts we're a candy that certainly would have earned Homer Simpson's approval more but sadly Homer isn't real and here in the real world this particularly tasty confection just didn't catch the eye of consumers released in 2005 around the same time as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory the marketing campaign behind them was strong but ultimately the candy proved too simple for modern consumers but absence makes the heart grow fonder and with a little time apart we've come to appreciate the chocolate donuts we once ignored forbidden donut number six bonkers some folks don't believe the super fruitiness of bonkers fruit candy they learned soon Nabisco is a big name in the cookie and cracker industry but in the 1980s they dabbled in the candy game with bonkers a chewy rectangular candy that came in a variety of fruit flavors as well as chocolate rich chocolate outside dark fudge inside the marketing campaign behind the product was incredibly successful thanks to a number of commercials that employed over-the-top humor sadly when the initial publicity push ended sales quickly began to drop off the commercials were hit but without the constant public reminders bonkers proved less memorable although leaf brands acquired the rights to the candy in 2012 with plans to reintroduce the gloriousness as of 2017 they had yet to follow through my son bonkers way to go number 5 Butterfinger BBS if there were ever a memorable fictional celebrity endorsement it was Bart Simpson and Butterfinger thanks to his expert salesmanship we are pretty much always down for a Butterfinger despite the reservations of the a da b da and C da thanks mark Plato's sister sharise to truly live yeah well Bartow says eat my shorts the nice thing about Butterfinger BB's was that they didn't get stuck in your teeth quite as badly as their candy bar namesake which is always a plus they had a good run from 1992 to 2006 when they were discontinued while Nestle rolled out a replacement in 2009 with the Butterfinger mini those little rectangles just fail to fill the Beebe sized hole in our hearts okay nobody better lay a finger on my grocery number four bar none there were chocolate bars and cookie bars by the school maybe bar none sounded classy to Hershey in 1986 but in retrospective just feels forgettable there like there won't actually be a chocolate bar in there Pierre the name with a packaging utterly devoid of character and you get a candy bar that should have consistently failed to catch the eye of shoppers and yet despite the odds bar none earned itself a dedicated following staying on the shelves for nearly a decade sadly the company decided to rework the bar and add caramel in 1993 which signaled the beginning of the end turning away many devoted customers proving even in chocolate if it ain't broke don't fix it if you want to go number three Gator gum so if you want to lick July passed on what went wrong here was it that every candy and beverage company did a flavored gum spin-off of their product in the 80s and the market was simply oversaturated get to see you shined up we have a sticker juice or was it the fact that gator gum sounds like it was made either for or out of alligators the gum allegedly had a great distinctly tart flavor that was certainly refreshing but the packaging's claim that it would quench your thirst however was a little dubious maybe that's why it failed to connect with sports drink fans with chewing gum enthusiasts however the product was a total hit and to this day they're still hoping for gator gums comeback season [Music] number two cookies and cream Twix has cookies and cream between the top key turn that gooey cookie here's the problem with popular candy bars they're always producing spin-offs or variants and unless they sell absurdly well production is terminated shortly thereafter for all candy bar enthusiasts who purchase these new products and fall in love it's an endless cycle of heartbreak [Music] but few memories continue to sting like this Twix bar that got away released at the same time as chocolate fudge Twix cookies and cream was the clear winner now this punch between the chocolate and that Colgate cookie crumb he was only available from 1990 to 1991 but what a sweet year it was according to numerous retro food bloggers it's remembered as the best flavored Twix bar ever made Twix each bar is better than the other before we unveil our number one pick here are some honorable mentions [Music] what do you know the lifesavers family just got a little smaller number one dinah sour eggs you know what this is [Music] not right if we found a magic lamp but like a discount one that only came with one wish and the genie inside was a candy specific one that okay this analogy isn't working take two if we had the ability to resurrect one discontinued candy it would be Dyna sour eggs come on then why because they were epic and kind of the perfect candy awesome theming check they looked like dinosaur eggs long-lasting check these things lasted 30 to 60 minutes new and exciting heck yes they were it even said so on the advertisement quote the only giant sour jawbreaker on the market and boy were they sour sadly by the mid-90s they were extinct do you agree with our picks check out these other
