my snack is ruined whatever happened to fill in the blank with your favorite missing munchie these
old school snacks have long since disappeared from shelves but that doesn't mean they've been
forgotten here are the top 15 discontinued snacks that Americans miss the most part two now bring
them back bring them back squeeze it drinks okay everyone squeeze in squeeze it drinks
are an artifact of a time when juice came in clear plastic packaging for all the world to
see it was a novelty that picked up steam with the original iteration in the form of little
hug juice barrels which were exactly what they sounded like on the back of this success several
other companies popped up attempting to cash in on the trend the most popular of these sugary drinks
were squeezits they took the original design idea and ramped it up leaning into colorful marketing
designed especially for kids little kids well sure it's for little kids while you'd be hard
pressed to find these colorful skinny bottles of juice in stores today we can always remember The
Nostalgia that came along with twisting one of these strange juices open I'm squeezing
I'm squeezing space dust candy candy space dust was an imitator of the popular candy pop rocks
which had already taken the World by storm many years before in response to this wave of
success space dust was a very similar candy in a somewhat different package whereas Pop
Rocks come in shapes akin to little rocks space dust chose to pulverize their candy into a fine
dust that had many of the same qualities it's my own modification it popped in your mouth fizzled
on the tongue and had many of the same flavor characteristics that pop rocks had there was
a slight backlash from parents who saw this item on store shelves people were none too happy about
their kids clamoring for a mysterious candy dust that resembled a controlled substance space dust
took this criticism in stride for a few years but eventually pulled their product from store shelves
in order to cut their losses quick Plan B Plan B watermelon Laffy Taffy is taffy a name While most
people know laffy taffy from the funsize bars they get in their Halloween bags Wonka actually
makes full-size versions in a variety of different flavors one such flavor was watermelon artificial
watermelon has always been a popular flavor with many candy makers and chances are you could easily
pick the flavor out of a lineup what made this particular candy so striky was the candy seeds
that were stuck directly into the Taffy this gave the appearance of a slice of watermelon complete
with little black Pearls of candy one watermelon C fresh from the manure field it's unclear as to
why the Wonka brand decided to discontinue the snack some people claim that the seeds caught
people off guard and posed a serious choking risk and others still say that it just wasn't all that
popular I just know that you were popular like I was Surge fact you were drinking grape soda you
never drink grape soda many soft drinks have come and gone in American history but few have had the
cultural impact and reach that Serge saw when it first came on the market Serge was a citrus
flavored soda that was designed by the Coca-Cola Company to compete with Pepsi's Mountain Dew while
it never enjoyed the success That Mountain Dew did it still developed quite the cult following in the
early '90s nice try it was originally launched in Norway but after its success overseas the
Coca-Cola Company decided to Launch in the US and it did so with a $50 million marketing campaign
but despite all the advantages it enjoyed in this department people just weren't buying it at the
rate that coke had hoped it was discontinued in 2003 and the last remaining cans of surge were
emptied from vending machines everywhere in recent years fans on social media have clamored for its
re-release and much to their surprise it worked sort of while you probably won't see surge on
store shelves it can be enjoyed in Coca-Cola Freestyle machines which populate fast food
counters movie theaters and food courts around the country great GL to hear that Trix yogurt oh it's
a lot of yogurt I love yogurt seral brand Trix famous for its rabbit mascot decided to expand
their breakfast game by offering their own version of yogurt this particular brand offered a simple
novelty that people went absolutely crazy for two sides of the cup were divided with one of the many
different fruit flavors that came in cereal for a while the brand enjoyed success it didn't take
long for people to dig into the nutritional facts and find that the yogurt was packed with nearly
as much sugar as the cereal it took its name from so you think it's a scam sales began to dip and
sooner rather than later this yogurt retreated from store shelves into our Collective memory

and smash it thanks ice breakers liquid ice is it liquid or is it ice both the early 2000s were
a Kind of Revolution for established brands in the snack space many had rested on their Laurels
for years and wanted new levels of success ice breakers was no different in 2003 they released
one of the stranger items on our list liquid ice these were tiny orbs of liquid that were encased
in a thin minty shell when you put them in your mouth the thin shell would dissolve and wash your
mouth in a minty explosion people didn't quite get it at first and wondered who this product
was geared to people were using them for all sorts of strange and nefarious reasons and on the back
of these developments the icebreakers company saw that they had invited a certain amount of
liability into their brand as a result ice breakers pulled them from shelves never to
be seen again I'll go bankrupt Altoid sour sour candy just like you like it not satisfied with
their current level of success Altoids decided to break away from mints by coming up with Altoid
sours these were little cherubs of hard candy that resembled sour fruits and they were all
the rage until they weren't many people tend to store mints in their car pockets and purses and
it turned out that these sour candies had a real problem with heat associated with these
places they would fuse together and create one massive globu of sour candy people enjoyed Altoid
sour but like many of the other items we've seen they never Rose to their minty predecessor success
all the Altoids he was here one night Pizzeria Pizza time if you're a 9s kid then chances are
that this next snack needs no introduction pizzerias were a strange creation made by
the Keebler company that involved using fresh pizza dough to create a cracker-like product
that resembled a miniature slice of pizza snack lovers found Pizzeria to be nothing short of
delicious and sales sworded but there was trouble Brewing on the horizon why are you causing so much
trouble in the late '90s the Keebler company was bought and broken up into its various divisions
selling itself off to the highest bids as a result Pizzeria slipped through the cracks
as no one seemed confident enough to tackle this strange snack the cracker was discontinued much
to the Chagrin of snackers everywhere haa I miss her too Pillsbury waffle sticks the waffles tasty
waffles with lots of syrup taking a trip back to the breakfast table Pillsbury waffle sticks
were created in response to instant breakfast options like Pop-Tarts and ego waffles that
were cornering the market Pillsbury was already heavily entrenched in the baking scene and saw
these waffle sticks as a natural extension of their already famous pastries for more profit
waffle sticks came in a frozen block that you would then heat up in the toaster or microwave
before ripping off the perforated sticks and dunking them in syrup or icing this one is a bit
of a mystery as to why it's no longer around as a quick Google search will show you that everyone
seemed to love them maybe it was production issues or maybe the sticks weren't turning a
profit but one thing is for sure people still hold out hope that Pillsbury waffle sticks will Grace
grocery store shelves once again in the future my dream will be lost forever Kudos breakfast bar go
ahead take one breakfast bars were all the rage in the early 2000s for people who had less and less
time for the most important meal of the day Kudos offered a simple solution to this problem simply
eat your breakfast on the go while other brands leaned heavily into the breakfast approach Kudos
was content to be an anytime snack peering with companies like M&M's Snickers and Dove chocolate
the focus of the bar was to offer a granola base that would serve as the breakfast Bedrock Kudos
completely upended this health Healthy Start by adding copious amounts of chocolate and
candy to make it nothing more than a candy bar sorry that was rude candy bar in 2017 the Mars
company announced publicly that Kudos would be discontinued and as of their last public statement
on the matter in 2020 there are still no plans to revive the Beloved snack what plan there's no plan
rolled gold honey mustard tiny twist they ain't going to get honey mustard twice rolled gold is
probably the most popular purveyor of pretzel and pretzel derivative snacks and at one point
in time one of their Flagship offerings was that of the honey mustard tiny twists tiny twists had
been on the market for many years at this point in a variety of flavors but none were quite as
popular as the honey mustard variety when these pretzels were pulled from store shelves people
were left scratching their heads what's so offensive about honey mustard while we may
never get the answer it's clear that people were passionate about this particular flavor I like the
bo oliz for the behavior of my passion Dino egg oatmeal dinosaur egg if you grew up in the '90s
chances are that you were swept up in the dinosaur craze that followed the release of the Blockbuster
film Jurassic Park based on the novel by Michael kryon this Steven Spielberg helmed movie created
a new wave of Dino efficient Autos with Rising Trends comes the opportunity for marketing and
that's exactly what Quaker Oatmeal hoped to cash in on Dino egg oatmeal was a cultural icon and
kids everywhere loved it tiny little dinosaur eggs came in the instant mix of oatmeal that Quaker had
made their name on Quaker chose to discontinue the product and consumers let out a collective
Gran it was clear that Quaker had made a mistake it wasn't until years later that the product would
return for a Victory lap people raced to the store to claim their own box of this zany oatmeal but
consumers were shocked to find that the Nostalgia they had craved was not found in this new version
had something changed with the recipe or had absence simply not made hearts grow fonder it's
not the same dunkaroo sh down on dunar this next one is one of the most beloved snacks to come out
of the 9s dunkaroos were an invention by Betty Crocker and were small snack siiz packages that
came complete with shortbread like cookies and a small container of frosting as the implies these
cookies were meant to be dunked into the sprinkle Laden frosting kids went bananas for this strange
creation and it was clear that the company had a winner on their hands they enjoyed significant
Success Through the '90s and into the early 2010s when they were finally retired me retire sometimes
it's best to go out on top and we can't help but wonder if the folks at Betty Crocker knew this
they have since re-released for limited times but it would seem as though the m magic has
gone perhaps left in the '90s with their original wave of success it makes me miss the '90s Hershey
swoops I want Hershey Kiss nipples and I want you to pay for them instead of staying in their Candy
Lane Hershey's decided that the early 2000s were a time for experimentation enter Hershey's swoops
a pringle shaped candy that looked more like a potato chip than chocolate they came in a number
of varieties including Reese's peanut butter strawberries and cream white chocolate peppermint
and special dark with almonds swoops enjoyed some success upon their release but with so many Niche
candies on the market it was difficult for the Hershey's company to draw attention to
this unique offering sales dipped over the years until they were finally pulled from the market
in August of 2006 Hershey's was so concerned with whether or not they could make swoops they didn't
stop to think if they should already regretting this yay Flintstones push-ups count the last one
okay 25 and one girl pushup introduced in 1990 the Cadillac of 90s snacks had arrived on the scene
The Flintstones were already a popular TV cartoon household name so what do you do when you're
riding on the back of a Titan of success well you sell frozen treats of course push-ups were
exactly what they sounded like a paper tube filled with sherbety goodness that you needed to slowly
push up as you devoured it the orange sherbet push-up is regarded as one of the most popular
ice cream snacks of all time and unfortunately we'll never taste them again we don't know if it
was the grinning face of Fred Flintstone on the packaging that made them such a hit or simply a
good recipe but unfortunately we'll never get the chance to find out we need to find out who
we're dealing with got a favorite you miss let us know and check out part one of this video just tap
