I thought it might be fun to list things we liked that went away....

Whatever happened to Weight Watchers Carmel nut Ice cream?  I used to buy it back in the late 80's it was low calorie and delicious. Considering I was 6' tall and only weighed 140 lbs. back then should tell you how good it was, now that I need low cal it's history.

*Real* wine coolers.

In 1991, the federal government quintupled the tax on wine, manufacturers reformulated to use malt (beer-like) products instead, and things were never the same.

I used to love Seagram's Golden.

Vanilla and orange flavored Coffee Crisp candy bars.  Alternate flavors were discontinued after 2007, so only the regular candy bar is available.

Why is it when they "improve" or change the quality is never quite the same....

Solid Milk Chocolate Chunky.  I used to buy 'em by the counter display box and eat the WHOLE friggin' box within a week!  I think they stopped making any kind od Chunkies for a while, and when they came back, they only made the ones with nuts & raisins, damnit!

Oh, if only they now made a Sugar-Free Solid Milk Chocolate Chunky, I'd be a happy diabetic!

They still make Clark & Chunkys.  Most of the time you'll find them at speciality candy shops or places like Cracker Barrel.

Sounds yucky, but is the best cake ever:  Orange.  My mom used to buy it and frost it with cream cheese frosting.  I cant find it anywhere, now.
