what do we do just because they're gone doesn't mean they weren't great The Disappearance of
these foodie favorites left fans asking why it seems everyone has lived this experience at some
point so we bring you more of the 20 Greatest discontinued foods of all time part three all
right Pringles Prince Pringles are for Champions only here's a snacking Innovation that took the
chip experience from the bag to the tube and for a few years got even Wilder Pringles prints were a
Pringles variant that hit shells into 2004 and featured edible highresolution images printed
onto each individual chip the prints included entertaining tidbits like jokes and pictures
and eventually licensed tie-ins with games like Trivial Pursuit alongside popular movies and TV
shows of the time but crossover promotions with NASCAR races and Spider-Man movies weren't enough
to save the novelty from wearing off before Pringles Prince wore out their welcome and
were pulled from the market your dad's pulling it off the market Dorito those collisions these
are the bomb here's another discontinued chip that had a great idea but required too
much effort to stick around and 200 2007 Doritos decided that two great tastes would taste great
together and introduced collisions featuring bags that went half and half on two flavors
in one combos included hot wings and blue cheese and enchilada and sour cream unfortunately this
required Doritos to come up with completely new chip flavors that they did not sell individually
just so they could pair them together and over time the process became too inconvenient for
the company the crossover combinations had to break up and collisions crashed permanently as
an all-time great discontinued food really you're eating Doritos Taco Bell double decker got a taco
taco inside another Taco the 2019 reimagining of Taco Bell's menu saw a long-standing great get the
axe the Taco Bell double decker Taco rolled out in a massive marketing campaign in 1995 buoy by
commercials featuring celebrity appearances from director Spike Lee and NBA star Shaquille O'Neal
delivering exactly what the name promis the double decker featured two tacos in one wrapping a soft
tortilla around the outside of a classic hard shell taco and was around for almost a quarter
Century despite demand the double decker got knocked off the menu harder than a shack slam dunk
and it still hasn't made a return Please Come Back kondik Bar Choco Taco Choco Taco tacos are always
good but this particular Taco was so cool it was frozen you surely remember the classic jingle
what would you do for a Klondike bar but according to the backlash after it disappeared folks would
do much more for a Klondike bar Choco Taco with roots stretching back to an independently owned
ice cream truck in Philadelphia in 1983 the taco shaped ice cream sandwich was a
fixture of the frozen food aisle for almost 40 years unfortunately just in time for summer 202
too and right when a Choco Taco is in its highest demand of the year the frozen delight disappeared
you'll now have to get ice cream the old fashioned way and a cone sandwich or a bowl since this Taco
shape has officially said adios to the marketplace I'll miss you Pepsi holiday spice go easy on the
Pepsi move over pumpkin spice latte the original fall and winter seasonal beverage holds down a
spot as one of the greatest announced to the world in August of 2004 Pepsi holiday spice was in
stores on an 8-week limited release from November 1st of that year through to December 31st sold
with a faux retro throwback label that featured appropriate christmy snowflakes and the original
Pepsi Cola logo the holiday spice twist warmed hearts and taste buds however it only returned
to shelves for the 2006 holiday season and has been discontinued ever since this is a December
discontinuation that's even worse than getting a lump of coal in your stock you're such a good
person no Cole in your stocking this year Crystal Pepsi do I make myself as clear as this Crystal
Pepsi here's another Pepsi product that hasn't made a full-time comeback they say transparency
and marketing is important and when released in December of 1992 Crystal Pepsi was completely
and literally transparent the see-through soda was essentially normal Pepsi without the food coloring
and had 20 fewer calories as well as none of the caffeine Crystal Pepsi's run was bright but brief
and only lasted a year before being officially discontinued by 1994 there was a brief return to
stores in 2016 and a limited release to contest winners in 2022 but our crystal ball doesn't
see another comeback in Crystal Pepsi's future ah pointless wild berry Jolly Ranchers pretty
please here's a long gone candy that was a little bit too wild for its own good Jolly Ranchers have
seen their share of changes over it decades as our favorite hard candy expanding from the original
Three flavors to experimenting with all kinds of different tastes that have come and gone however
one particular set of flavors might be the most missed and that was the wild berry Jolly Ranchers
that were discontinued in 2012 these wild and tangy tastes came in a set of five flavors per
bag consisting of raspberry lemonade strawberry watermelon wild strawberry mountain berry and blue
raspberry over a decade later these Wild Wonders are still lost in the jungle waiting to make a
return it's real first time here well then welcome now go ahead and hit that subscribe button and
never miss out thanks you're the best Philadelphia cheesecake snack bars can I come in I bought you
some cheesecake this snack went the old school version of viral when craft Philadelphia Cream
Cheese pioneered a series of commercials featuring Wing It Angels talking about just how heavenly The
Taste of Philly was but this discontinued spin-off snack bar might need some angels and a miracle to
bring them back for good the refrigerated snack had Philadelphia Cream Cheese layered on top of
a graham cracker bar and featured a flavored jelly topping like strawberry cheesecake they were only
available from 1999 to 2003 and discontinued due to manufacturing difficulties with the graham
crackers so until they make a return it looks like Philly cheesecake bars have gone to snacking
Heaven the humans finally did the right thing the KFC snacker it's great I love KFC back before the
chicken sandwich Wars dominated the nation the chicken Kings at KFC got in on the action with a
smaller take on the fan favorite the KFC snacker was a 2000's hit as a portable and affordable
one-hander take on the basic chicken sandwich and even if it doesn't make sense at first the
discontinuation of the snacker was a direct result of how popular it became rumors swirled that the
snacker was so popular it was causing a drop in sales of traditional original recipe chicken and
the restaurant needed to ask the snacker to save their most famous product the snacker was phased
out in 2013 and gone for good by 2014 but it wasn't the first time KFC discontinued one
of its biggest hits honey do you think KFC is still open the KFC Double Down double down this
discontinued alltime great appealed to customers looking for a truly extra meat fix the spring of
201 introduced the legendary KFC Double Down wherein the sandwich actually replaced the top
and bottom buns with two chicken sandwich breast and replace the chicken in the Middle with cheese
and bacon an immediate Smash Hit 10 million of the sandwiches were sold across the USA in its first 3
months making $50 million in sales but the double effect on Our arteries might have had a hand in
The Disappearance when it was pulled from American stores in 2014 a brief 4-we turn in 2023 wasn't
enough to keep it around and absence continues to make the heart grow fonder for this doubly
delicious chicken delight delicious Butterfinger bbb's Elvis Oh Henry Butterfinger the fullsize
version of the Butterfinger candy bar dates back to its 1923 invention in Chicago Illinois but it
wasn't until 83 years later that the company would break Hearts by discontinuing one of butterfinger
spectacular spin-offs Butterfinger BB's debuted in 1992 as a smaller snackable bite-size version
you can enjoy by the handful and were a big hit during Butterfingers Peak years when they
were advertised by The Simpsons while Bart simpsons's famous catchphrase in those 199s
commercials warned that nobody better lay a finger on my Butterfinger it turns out somebody did when
Butterfinger BB's were eventually discontinued in 2006 it was just a sign of things to come though
with a bigger butter Butterfinger Betrayal on the horizon nobody better lay a finger on my
Butterfinger the original Butterfinger formula okay next question for the Butterfinger 12 years
after the loss of butterfinger BB Butterfinger as we know it also disappeared at least as far
as your taste buds are concerned when Nestle was sold to Italy's Ferrero group in 2018 for almost
$3 billion Butterfinger went under the microscope the then nearly 100 100y old recipe was overhauled
which among other changes included using bigger peanuts the new ingredients eventually increased
sales and to a wider audience but old school fans will always want to lay a finger on a
discontinued butter finger can have butter finger too McDonald's Pizza it's Pizza Time
pizza's reputation as a favorite food will never be discontinued but the 1989 introduction of pizza
to the McDonald's menu eventually did 3 years of research search and development weren't enough to
prevent the roll out from being a disaster even if the pizza was actually pretty good even with
highspeed cooking ovens the extended prep and cook time made waiting up to 16 minutes per fresh pizza
way too long for the otherwise Speedy fast food Biz Plus restaurants needed remodeling to fit the
pizza ovens and warming bins and drive-through windows were not built to fit large pizza Boxes
by the year 2000 McDonald's officially pulled the plug on its MC Pizza who is it it's little Nero
sir I have your pizza McDonald's Mighty Wings everybody loves chicken wings pizza and wings
might be the ultimate game day combo on football Sunday so you have to give McDonald's credit for
attempting both even if they were both eventually discontinued Mighty Wings had an initial run from
1990 to 2003 before being discontinued and then tweaked before returning to the market 10 years
later in 2013 with the new version expected to be a big seller McDonald's loaded up on an astounding
50 million pounds of chicken wings in preparation for the product to fly out of the deep fryers even
with improvements These Wings still wouldn't fly and were discontinued in less than 4 months
chickin don't fly McDonald's sesan sauce 10 piece McNugget and a bunch of the sesan sauce here's
one more long gone golden arch is great dipping sauce is a key component of McNuggets and the
most famous of all might be sesan sauce released in 1998 as a limited time tie-in with Disney's
animated feature film Mulan the short-lived sau's reputation for deliciousness gave it a shout out
on Cartoon Network's Rick and Morty show nearly 20 years later which spurned brief comebacks for
it in 2017 and 2022 despite demand MCD sesan sau's Word of Mouth staying power isn't enough for it to
ever be released on a full-time basis and it seems destined to stay a Lost legend it's delicious
and they got rid of it and now it's gone toaster strudel Boston cream I'm not going to keep toaster
strudel in my house Pillsbury toaster strudles have been on the breakfast menu since 1985 but
in the decades since we've had to say goodbye to a few great flavors marketed as a better alternative
to Kellogg's Pop-Tarts toaster strudles went as far as to use the marketing slogan something
better just popped up in 1994 but what was perhaps their best flavor was disc continued
not long ago the Boston cream pie toaster strudles were phased out in the late 2010s and by November
2021 Pillsbury announced on what was then Twitter that Boston cream pie toaster strudel
was officially toast with no plans to pop back up in the future that better not be my last toaster
strudel blue raspberry poptarts we have Pop-Tarts unlike its toaster strudel competition Kellogg's
Pop-Tarts have always been shelf stable at room temperature instead of needing to be Frozen and
the brand itself has been stable since debuting in 1964 utilizing this then new technology from
the post serial company of dehydrating meals and sealing them in foil to maintain freshness which
believe it or not was a technique first used on dog food their discontinued favorite was
the short-lived blue raspberry flavor that ran from 2015 to 2018 mimicking the popular Tang of
blue raspberry flavored Power Aid Kool-Aid and ices but unlike the discontinued Pop-Tart kind
those versions are still going strong so good Coca-Cola black give me a uh liter of cola blue
raspberry makes for a great sports drink flavor but it won't give you the buzz that this next
drink did traditional Coca-Cola sells nearly 2 billion bottles a day around the world with an
average of 10,000 Coca-Cola products guzzled down globally every single second but over all those
years of drinks some of the attempted experiments didn't wind up at the top of the popular list in
this case Coca-Cola black was a coffee and cola Fusion beverage that was part energy drink part
soda and part cup of joe that debuted in April 2006 Coke eventually hit the snooze button on
the inventive idea and discontinued it after just 17 months are you talking about Coca-Cola Jello-O
pudding bites how do you make Jello-O just mix it with water and let it sit even from a company
that relies directly on molds you need ideas that will break the mold jello pudding bites totally
bypass the idea of needing a spoon stick or even a plastic disposable cup to enjoy Jello-O pudding
by injecting chocolate vanilla and strawberry flavors into bite-sized chocolate casings the
concept was both creative and convenient but reviews after a few years weren't positive and
pudding bites popularity plummeted by the end of 2004 contrary to the company's original slogan
maybe there's only room for Jello if you get to eat it the oldfashioned way oh Jello is my
favorite Taco Bell caramel apple and Pata givee give me givee givee give me you can't beat the
sweet feeling of finishing a meal with a decadent dessert but at everybody's favorite Mech inspired
munching spot you've now got one less option cinnamon twists have been the standard Taco
Bell dessert since 1988 but for the last decade and a half the twist set competition from the
caramel apple and Pata the live Moss tweak on a standard fast food fried apple was a big hit
with customers but was eventually shelv in 2019 some folks blame the new Cinnabon partnership for
taking over the empata spot but no matter how you slice it this awesome Apple treat has been
shuffled back to the orchard will you stop it's just a piece of fruit eating a piece of fruit is
not going to change your life for more check out part one or two of this video just tap or click
