i got your package those pink coconut things have made me quite popular
while snacks may come and go there are still those fallen soldiers we can't seem to completely
let go of yet so here are more of the top 10 discontinued snacks americans miss the most
part five high c ecto cooler why do you have an original ecto cooler juice box from 1989.
who do you call if you ain't afraid of no ghosts i see that's who they've got the perfect drink
for you or at least they used to to celebrate and market the real ghostbusters series in the 1980s
high c created a neon green orange tangerine drink called ecto cooler its disturbing color
was supposed to symbolize slimer a ghost made up of pure ectoplasm in the ghostbusters franchise
he slimed me that's great surprisingly enough even after the hype of the movie started to fade away
ecto cooler still remained on the shelves for quite some time before it was eventually pulled
there was something so enticing about the glowing fluorescent drink that made it irresistible while
it did end up leaving shelves for a while ecto cooler became available again for a limited time
when the new ghostbusters remake hit cedars now that there's a new ghostbusters movie on the way
rumor has it that the funky sugary juice will also make a comeback give you 20 bucks for it
nice try however we'll only believe it when we see it smurf pasta thank goodness for chef boyardee
it's smurfy good to be honest one of the most efficient ways to sell anything is to tie it in
with a popular kids movie or show especially when it's a very famous one chef boyardee understood
that pretty early on and took full advantage by releasing smurf pasta a can of smurf-shaped pasta
in none other than papa smurf's special sauce it came in four delicious flavors including
spaghetti with meatballs and beef ravioli the smurfy good for you pasta was obviously a huge
hit and was flying off the shelves all throughout the 1980s it's unclear exactly when or why these
little cans of tomatoey greatness disappeared but all we know is that it must have been a tragic
outsmurfed again according to the commercial gargamel stole all of the smurf's food until
papa smurf magically created the smurf pasta but pasta wasn't the only food smurfs were involved in
a line of cereals to accompany your saturday morning cartoons was also released in two flavors
the smurf berry crunch and smurf magic berries the berry crunch quickly became
a morning staple with its fruity red and blue cereal which was followed a few years later by
magic berries with mini marshmallows added in which sounds totally smurflicious smurf exactly
teenage mutant ninja turtle pudding pies let me get you guys some napkins
what for cowabunga it's time to bring back vivid memories of those who grew up watching
the teenage mutant ninja turtles from canned pasta to fruit juices you couldn't escape
michelangelo donatello raphael or leonardo the most notable food tie-in had to be the pudding
pies nothing screams delicious more than very big very green pre-packaged pies right well as
it turns out a disturbing color is exactly what these delights needed for them to be a success
these neon pies were said to be heroes in a half shell baking a surprise at least according to
the 1990s commercial filled with mutagen goo that came straight from the sewer don't worry
it was actually vanilla pudding the pies had a flaky crust and came in four different wrappers
one for each turtle as an extra goodie every rapper had a pudding point which could be used to
receive mail-in merch like metallic battle signal clickers a ninja turtles t-shirt trading cards and
stickers hostess ended up keeping the pies on the shelves for longer than originally
intended but doom's day eventually came and the dessert was retired nestle magic balls
if you're a 90s kid then you'll remember how much fun nestle magic balls were pretty similar to
kinder surprise eggs magic balls were these big thin chocolate spheres with a fun prize inside
typically either a disney or pokemon character but even though they were basically destined to be a
huge success they were discontinued in 2004. what exactly happened after all we are from the land
of chocolate well it has everything to do with the danger of the toy found inside by 1997 nestle had
received so many complaints about the toy prizes being choking hazards for children that despite
efforts to convince parents they were safe the company was not able to keep them on the shelves
so in the year 2000 nestle re-released the candy only this time with a new name and
concept the candy was now called wonderballs with the toy being replaced by even more
candy sadly though the product was discontinued again after being bought by the frankfurt company
you can still manage to get your hands on some wonderballs if you wish to relive your childhood
i believe i can bring him back you can scope out either ebay to find some deals or surf certain
candy websites for a chance to still get a taste of the delicious wonders of wonderballs sour cream
and onion doritos congratulations on becoming ceo do you know anyone at doritos no matter the flavor
doritos never seems to miss the mark and back in the 1970s it broke new records of tastiness
when it released the sour cream and onion flavor these bad boys were delicious and received a lot
of praise from fans but despite their popularity the company discontinued them the following decade
why what made these chips so special you ask it's not uncommon to see sour cream and onion flavored
potato chips but tortilla chips that was unheard of the chips did make a brief and much acclaimed
comeback in 2013 as a throwback flavor but again it didn't stay on the market long enough to become
a regular flavor in japan you can still get your hands on some if you know where to look
but it seems like this tangy flavor will not be back on our shelves anytime soon if
ever that said some amateur doritos testers have confirmed that the cool ranch variety
comes very close to the original flavor so there is still hope for anyone looking to experience
sour cream and onion doritos without traveling overseas willy wonka's peanut butter oompas
i know what you're thinking they can't be doing what they're doing
but they are while reese's cups dominate the peanut butter slash chocolate market there was a
time when another snack was close to the top willy wonka's peanut butter oompas if you remember the
movie and you remember the little orange guys then you should know about the pb oompas they
were practically like oversized m ms only they were filled with a little extra flavor with half
peanut butter and half chocolate in the middle they were the absolute perfect treat perfection
for a brief limited time there were the strawberry oompas which replaced the peanut butter layer with
a strawberry flavor the oompas were first released in the 1970s even before reese's pieces came into
play but were discontinued not too long after in 1983. what do you want nowadays nestle still makes
oompas only it's not the good chocolaty kind now they're all about colorful fruit flavors
thankfully there are still peanut butter and chocolate snacks available like pb m ms for
instance but it will still never be the same as the real oompa loompa dumpty do goodness the taste
simply lingers just like the song will in your head forever jello one two three i hate jello
oh come on there's always room for jello it used to be featured in literally everything and was the
star of every cookbook in the 1950s however it was in 1969 that kraft foods took things
one step further and released a product that would make preparing a popular jello dessert
even easier jello123 it was basically a packet of jello mix that would separate into three layers
picture the texture of a cup of jello pudding and mousse together in one serving it was like eating
three desserts in one to prepare this culinary gem all you needed to do was add the mix to boil
in water blend it and let the fridge do its magic how do you make jello just mix it with water and
let it sit the problem with this snack wasn't the taste it was actually pretty beloved the issue
was with the preparation process many complained that it took too long to do and didn't have the
patience to wait for the layers to separate i got away with this for another 122 years you see sales
began dwindling so craft started to phase out the product in the mid-1980s until it was completely
discontinued in 1996. craft still has the recipe on their website that recreates the fluffy dessert
with a jello packet and cool whip space dust yeah they're pop rocks they crackle in your mouth
there was no greater joy as a kid than popping a bunch of pop rocks in your mouth and feeling the
tiny explosions on your tongue and of course you would always go up to your friends and make them
listen to the popping sounds needless to say those candies are the definition of success this is why
about two decades after pop rocks were introduced on the market general foods decided to piggyback
off them and create their own version space dust space dust was essentially the same as pop rocks
only it was ground up into a fine powder and sold in more out there packaging obviously it was an
instant success and kids loved it so much so that some stores were struggling to keep it in stock
and sidewalk hustlers began selling the stuff on street corners wow the cherry tastes delicious
i'm sizzling great unfortunately the hype was very short-lived back in the 1970s when the candy was
first released there was something called angel dust also known as pcp going around and it was
well let's just say an illegal substance fizzle rocks they're new just at the streets rumors began
going around that the candy wasn't safe and it was putting children too much at risk of trying the
real deal which proved damaging for the company even after rebranding to cosmic candy the fizzing
treat still fizzled out and was discontinued reggie barr reggie the candy they named after me
the reggie bar was named as a tribute to baseball great and one-time new york yankees right fielder
reggie jackson in 1976. it made its debut at the yankees home opener as a novelty candy but
sadly didn't play for the team very long as it was benched only a few years later in 1982.
there's no crying in baseball we were lucky enough to be blessed by the return of a slightly tweaked
bar back in the 1990s but even then it didn't stick around long enough the disappearance of
reggie bars might have had something to do with what fans used them for aside from catering to
their sweet tooth you see the bar was given to fans who walked into yankee stadium and when
reggie would hit home runs people would sometimes get a little too worked up and throw the bars onto
the field in celebration chocolate obviously this was a bit of a safety hazard gatorgum oh my god
wouldn't it be amazing to be able to quench your thirst without actually having to drink anything
gatorade was one step ahead of everyone when it came out with gator gum in the late 1970s yes you
heard that right sports drinks can play the gum game too gator gum came in two different flavors a
lemon lime and orange which were the two original gatorade flavors water sucks gatorade is better
gatorade partnered up with the flir corporation which was the first company
to ever successfully manufacture bubblegum literally everything was set up to succeed
the only problem was it didn't gator gum was phased out a couple years later as a result
the commercials promoted that their magic bubble gum was a way to conquer dry mouth by chewing up
a storm but by gum standards it didn't exactly do that i'm all hopped up on hard baseball card gum
some people thought the gum was far too sour tasting to be any level of refreshing and its
popularity never really fully took off but fans of the chewing gum didn't mind the bitter taste
and enjoyed the unique flavor today if you want to get your quench from a gum you need to turn to
well quench another chewing gum based on gator gum
that was created by mueller sports we've got more just tap or click for another
