A pretty good list here. They failed to mention Jell-O Gelatin Pops, which I loved. For a more local thing, I miss Canfield's sodas, in particular their Swiss Cream cream soda.
What are some foods you miss that are no longer produced/available in your area?
Cadbury's fuse bars...... Easily the greatest chocolate bar ever.

Friggin' Jamaican meat patties. I haven't had one since I was in the Bahamas in 2008. They must exist in western supermarkets somewhere but I haven't been lucky enough to find them.
PB Crisps! Omg I loved those. And the Mario/Zelda cereal...
I miss Ice Cubes.. They're an old fashion-y type of cubed chocolate my mom and I loved. They still make it, but you gotta order on like Amazon..
Not a commercial food, but I really miss my mom's cooking. ;_;
10p Freddos
Since we're on the subject of how cheap Cadbury's is, how about we get back the larger Creme Eggs.Quote:

As for that list, I don't recognise like any of the foods on it. :(
The ice cream thread just reminded me of a vanilla ice cream with orange glaze and chocolate chips that sainsbury's used to do, I still look for it in any shop that sells ice cream, not even the specialist shops do anything similar.
I don't recognise anything in that list.
I miss Lucky Charms :(

I'm going to guess it's because the list is American-centric.
omg.
Remember Handi Snacks!?
The little crackers or crispy breadsticks that came with a tiny ass cup of cheeze whiz!? And it was only enough for like 2 crackers when 4 came in the pack!?
OMG PB CRISPS! :D And Squeezits!
I'm surprised the 3D Doritos aren't on that list, I really loved those when I was younger too.
Squeeze Its, oh my god ;________________________; Best fruit punch ever growing up! I liked the commercials with the four different faces and that there was always a grumpy one.
These were considered "expensive drinks" in my family so whenever we got a pack, I savored the trout out of it.

These things.
I remember having a Mario ice cream in Germany, never could get them over here though.Quote:

Yes. Lucky Charms. :( You can't buy them as a cereal in the supermarkets anymore. You can only buy them from some sweet shops, but they're imported and ridiculously expensive.
