Products you miss

TLV's poll got me thinking.

What products/foods that have been discontinued do you pine for?

I really miss Koala Yummies.  And Magic Middles.  Does anyone remember those?

And McDonald's had these gigantic strawberry banana yogurt granola parfaits one summer and they were fantastic.  The tiny ones now pale in comparison.

Apparently mine are all food related.  What are yours?

    Fudge Covered Oreos.  The pre-built s'mores cookies you could make in the microwave.  Big League Chew in grape.

    I don't know if these were necessarily discontinued, but I can't find any of them anymore.

    I'll mention these on behalf of my brother:  The McRib and Arch Deluxe from McDonald's.  He loved those sandwiches and they got rid of them in the early 2000s.

    In St. Louis at least they bring back the McRib at least twice a year, and they make a HUGE deal about how everyone has missed it.

    I miss corn nuggets. Fried cream corn. I know it sounds gross, and I know they still exist somewhere, but I cannot find them ANYWHERE in grocery stores anymore. I can only find them in a dive breakfast restaurant in my college town, 3.5 hours away from here :(

    They bring McRibbs back a few times a year here too.  Everyone goes crazy so they definitely know how to keep the appeal. 

    I miss dunkaroos.

    Ooooh I love corn nuggets!  Pat's Pizzeria has them, but I don't know if they're only local to here or not.

    EDIT - I just checked and they are only in DE, MD, NJ and PA :(

    !!!!! Yes!  I totally forgot about this stuff, but it was the only Gatorade I ever liked and it disappeared.

    Also, I miss these cookies that I cannot remember the name of for the life of me.  They came in three-packs, in a little white cardboard tray covered in clear plastic, and they had a chocolate drop in the middle of each cookie.  If you remember the name of these, please share.

    Also this thread makes me feel like I'm 80.

    Team Cheerios.  This was my favorite cereal for a while and it disappeared.  It was a combo of different types of Cheerios, but some you can't buy individually.

    Fat free apple Newtons.  These were the best.  Mr. Penny gets annoyed that I complain EVERY time we're in the store that they don't have these anymore!

    Brie - I think they actually sell those in the variety chip bags at the grocery store.  They have a bag that's all baked chips and sun chips and I'm pretty sure that's one of the flavors.

    I think they have the white fudge ones around the holidays, no?  We always put them in my uncle's Christmas stocking.

    They always bust out the white fudge Oreos at Christmas.

    We also get the McRib for a limited time once a year or so.

    I remember those cookies, Brie!! But not the name of them.

    Remember when McDonald's put cookies in the kids meals and they gave you those cup holders that hung on your car window? Not that I necessarily miss those, but this made me think of it.

    Oh man I loved the Arch Deluxe, but I don't think I would like it now.  Corn nuggets are theshit!  They had them at my college cafeteria.

    This isn't food, but I really liked Bonne Belle's liquid foundation and I hated that they quit making it.  Bath and Body Works is notorious for discontinuing stuff I like (or maybe I'm just notorious for liking stuff that doesn't sell well).  Some of my favorites were Breathe Comfort (which they brought back online recently) and Green Tea and Cucumber lotion. Oooh and they had a white tea eye cream that was awesome.
