Top 10 Discontinued Food Items We Miss (Part 14)

everyone has foods from their childhood that seemed impossible to find these days we're often left wondering if we fabricated those memories ourselves odds are the food item you're thinking of was just discontinued years ago here are 10 more discontinued food items we miss I can't god I miss food eat some better for me William WWF ice cream bars back in the days of low-rise jeans and girl bands when the WWE was still the WWF these ice cream bars were the go-to dessert of wrestling fans everywhere about as subtle as wrestling itself WWF ice cream bars came in a box emblazoned with the slogan taste the bars of the superstars stamped into the cookie exterior of each individual bar was the name and image of one of the hottest wrestlers of the time there was Hulkster the Million Dollar Man and Macho Man among others while the rest of the Ice Cream Sandwich was nothing to turn your nose up at the themed vanilla wafer was the main draw for many customers other than the imprints of various WWF superstars there wasn't much that set these ice cream bars apart under the vanilla wafer was a thick layer of vanilla ice cream and a bottom layer of chocolate coating once the excitement over the WWF theme wore off people realized that this frozen dessert wasn't anything special and sales began to drop off wasn't anything special berry-berry kicks more often than not cereals are the target of discontinuation at this point it's a miracle that there are any cereals left yet another victim on the long list of discontinued cereals is berry berry kiks kiks is a puffed grain cereal that has been around since the Great Depression sorry I missed the Great Depression it's made it this far so it's probably safe to say that the original kicks isn't going anywhere unfortunately the same can't be said for any of its newer variations Berry Kix was a fruity spin on the classic cereal which hit grocery store shelves in the 90s in addition to these spherical puffed corn pieces from the original kick cereal berry berry kicks contained pink and purple pieces shaped like tiny raspberries and blackberries in recent years General Mills revamped this cereal in a partnership with Nickelodeon the new boxes of berry berry kicks were decorated with characters from the popular kids TV show paw Patrol this would have been fine if it were only the box that was changed but they made the mistake of messing with the cereal itself honey you're putting ketchup on your cereal not only did the pieces themselves look different but the taste just wasn't the same all in all fans of the original berry berry kicks were left sorely disappointed this is the perfect example of how some foods are better left discontinued so delicious soda pop fruit snacks dibs on snacks if there's one candy that will never go out of style its fruit flavored gummy candy well actually it's probably chocolate but fruit flavored gummy candies are a close second so delicious soda pop fruit snacks were shaped like soda bottles and came in flavors like lemon-lime red punch and grape so delicious took things up a notch by adding a sugary coating to the gummies that fizzed when it came into contact with your tongue giving you the same sensation you would get from drinking a soft drink due to the popularity of this candy in the early 90s Betty Crocker released a special edition version in which the candies were flavored to taste like popular soft drinks like root beer and cherry cola the root beer ones were even shaped like pictures of root beer with the froth and everything both the original and special edition variation of so delicious fruit snacks did well at first but by the end of the decade their popularity started to wane before the start of the new millennium the candy had disappeared completely it's sad that this candy which had a pretty unique concept wasn't able to survive in the competitive world of fruit snacks so happy cuz I'm a gummy bag gummy bear yoo-hoo candy bars the yoo-hoo chocolate drink has been around since the tail end of the roaring 20s nearly a hundred years now it might look like chocolate milk but don't let appearances deceive you yeah I came here for hot chocolate not not chocolate the liquid base of you who is water and its flavor comes mainly from high-fructose corn syrup and whey like any other popular and long-lasting food item several products have been derived from the original of course none of the yoohoo variations managed to live up to the legacy of their predecessor but that's always how it goes one of the many yoo-hoo products that has cropped up over the years was the yoohoo candy bar my special food I like it it was the logical play since you who started off as a chocolate drink a chocolate bar just makes sense the bar tasted almost identical to the milk chocolate flavored drink so it was a hit among fans of the beverage where this candy bar went we couldn't tell you but its disappearance can probably be attributed to the fact that most chocolate lovers would probably choose an authentic chocolate bar over this chocolate flavored candy bar we can't fault them for that but it's too bad that the yoohoo candy bar had to fall prey to comparison and couldn't be appreciated for what it was in its own right lifesavers holes there are doughnuts and doughnut holes so why not life savers and life savers holes the pharmacies still open life savers are ring-shaped hard candies that come both in mint and various fruit flavors they get their name from the fact that they bear a resemblance to the life preservers used on boats or by lifeguards at the pool lifesavers holes are smaller hard candies in the same size and shape as the holes in the center of a conventional lifesaver the brand has expanded a lot since lifesavers first appearance in the early 20th century and lifesavers holes was just one of many derivatives of the candy to get discontinued over the years lifesavers holes came in resealable plastic tubes and could be popped like tic tacs you could use a tic-tac they were sold in peppermint and the traditional five fruit flavors of the original lifesavers but you could also buy them in tangerine outrageously fruity Island fruits or sunshine fruits packages each of which contained a variety of different flavors they were easy to eat on the go and even though each container held a decent amount of candy they disappeared quickly PB max of all the food items on this list the discontinuation of this candy bar is the one that hurts us the most the reason behind the outrage is the fact that up until it got the axe this candy bar was thriving and it would have kept on doing so if only the Mars family had better taste the food item we're referencing is called PB max which was a candy bar that consisted of a whole grain cookie a whole lot of peanut butter and a creamy milk chocolate coating if you grew up in the 90s you might remember the commercials for PB max which listed all the things that PB didn't stand for such as piggy banks polka band portly ballerina etc at the end it reveals that PB stood for peanut butter peanut butter crunchy creamy which would probably be most people's first guess at least you'd guess it before parachuting buffalo or penguin black like we said the PB max candy bar did very well for itself we're talking 50 million dollars in sales yet it was discontinued in spite of that why you ask well rumor has it that the Mars family the same Mars family from which the confectionery Mars Inc gets its name hated peanut butter and that was enough for them to call for the bars discontinuation we told you it was ridiculous if that story is true that is an impressive level of hatred for peanut butter tongue splashers gum whatever your opinion of this tongue splashers gum you have to admit that it deserves serious points for style you guys you I'm not shopping with you no more a candy like this could only have existed in the 90s the individually wrapped hard spheres of bubble gum came packaged in a plastic container designed to look like a miniature paint can the paint can was decorated with bright colors and depicted a cartoon of a mouth with a purple stained tongue sticking out along the bottom of the package was the gum slogan paints your mouth with a splash of color this was the main gimmick of tongue splashers gum and the reason why its container was made to look like a paint can this bubble gum would stain your mouth the color of whichever flavor you decided to chew each container held a variety of colors and flavors they were bleeding red colour me blue orange crunch slime green and slurp and purple you could buy this bubble gum in packages of several small cans or you could purchase one large can containing 240 pieces either way running out was never much of a concern today a container of tongue splashers gum is a staple in the collections of those nostalgic for the 90s although you can still get your hands on unopened containers online we wouldn't recommend trying to chew it it's been discontinued for so long it would probably be more like a jawbreaker than bubble gum something so bad teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles serial between the comic books the cartoon the action figures the videogames and the movies it was inevitable that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle logo would eventually get slapped on a cereal box it's so cool and popular name for Italian Renaissance artists these crime-fighting Turtles took the world by storm during the 80s and 90s during which time its companion cereal games impressive traction as well the two main ingredients of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cereal were ninja nets pieces of cereal that looked similar to Czechs in the way they were netted and marshmallows in a wide variety of shapes and colors soon after the cereals big debut marshmallows in the shape of pizza slices the TMNT 's food of choice who are thrown into the mix many boxes of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cereal included collectible cards from the 1990 film although they might not be worth much in terms of monetary value today these cards would definitely hold tremendous nostalgic value for many of the franchise's oldest fans teenage trading cards weren't the only gimmick this cereal had going for it many boxes had order forms on the back which could be filled out and submitted into a raffle where the winner would be awarded with an entire set of TMNT action figures as if that wasn't enough there were also several prizes hidden in many boxes these included mini comic strips and a packet of something called green ooze which was a sugary topping that you could drizzle on your cereal those were great in all but the most popular prize was the turtle Bowl a cereal bowl shaped like a ninja turtle Cheetos pause virtually impossible to confuse cheetos with Fritos seems to me this is one of those food items that was cool but unnecessary with the same taste and texture as regular old cheetos the only thing that set Cheetos paws apart was their shape playing off of Cheetos cheetah mascot the pieces of Cheetos paws were shaped like small Cheeta pause it's cute but it didn't draw a big enough crowd to warrant keeping the product around people were used to the shape of the original Cheetos and there was no reason for them to buy Cheetos pause instead spoiler alert people hate change that's why we're so up in arms about not being able to buy these food items anymore but I want that's not to say that Cheetos pause didn't have its fans one woman wrote a message to PepsiCo on Facebook telling them how much she enjoyed Cheetos pause and asking for their return PepsiCo apologized but informed her that this particular food item probably wouldn't be making a comeback anytime soon they did send her a coupon though which is still a pretty big win for her although you can no longer buy a package of Cheetos pause if you for whatever reason find yourself craving them they can still be found in mixed bags of Cheetos products like Cheetos cracker tracks and Cheetos white cheddar bag of bones Mickey's parade ice pops do I look like Mickey the mouse Mickey Mouse and company will never get old but apparently someone decided that the frozen dessert they inspired did Mickey's parade ice pops were shaped like the beloved Disney characters Mickey Mouse Minnie Mouse Donald Duck and Goofy and came in the flavours orange cherry and grape these popsicles were sold throughout the 90s and were one of those food items that was slowly phased out without explanation a quick search on the our nostalgia subreddit will show you just how popular these popsicles were many redditors admit to having forgotten about them completely but said that the memories came flooding back as soon as they were mentioned oh yes I remember now apparently Mickey's parade ice pops were different from regular popsicles in both taste and texture but in the best way possible someone even went as far as to say if I'm on death row this is my last meal request if that doesn't prove to you that these ice pops should never have been discontinued nothing will yeah I don't think they make those anymore go ahead and tap on another video hit that subscribe button and ring that notification valve
