NEW COKE!!! ---- just kidding! that stuff was awful.... but the corn syrup sweetened "classic Coke" is NOT the same as the Coke before that horrible disaster; it used to be sugar sweetened.. and that is what we miss here: sugar sweetened Coke, preferably in 16oz returnable bottles, sold in 8 packs.

McDonalds McDLT -- screw the environment.. gimme the hot stuff hot and cold stuff cold.. was discontinued due to the "impact" the larger styrofoam containers had on the environment (what a joke. given the volume they sold of those compared to Big Macs in a slightly smaller container made from the same material.. the added "impact" was negligible).. shortly thereafter, they started wrapping *everything* (even sloppy Big Macs) in paper wraps... but now they use (and have been for awhile now) flimsy cardboard containers for the "big" sandwiches.. so hey Ronnie-boy, bring the DLT back already!! -- the McLean Deluxe wasn't too bad either...

Honorable mentions
:
  • the old Hardee's burgers (back in the Big Deluxe days) and the Canadian Sunrise biscuit sandwich...
  • The old Rax restaurants.. before their defection to the dark side (errr, I mean, roast beef menu)...
  • Team USA Cheerios -- was sold around the time of the '96 Summer Olympics...
  • Peanut Butter Twix and Orange Mountain Dew are supposedly "back"... but we cannot find either of them around here....
  • Betty Crocker Sour Cream Chocolate cake mix is an essential part of a favorite recipe of ours... but it's no longer made... (and neither is that recipe.. it ain't the same with some other mix)...

And finally... our kitty cat misses Tender Vittles cat food...

I keep seeing bottles of coke in the mexican/asian aisle of my local warehouse grocery store. I imagine that's mexican coke, which they use sugar to sweeten. Corn is just what we have.. that's why we use it to sweeten things and for our ethanol. Whereas, Brazil for example, uses sugar cane for their sweetening and ethanol.

My faqvorite foods are: Smilie

Frozen milkshakes found in frozen foods section grocery stores about 1990. put carton t in microwave and heat for 10-15 seconds ------- good!

Cadbury shortcake snack cookies. English butter cookie surrounded with Cadbury'd rich milk chocolate, sold six to pack. Havent seen these sice the 1990's in the states.

Pommac - soft drink Distributed by Dr Pepper in US from 1963-1969 as a diet drink. It is still manufactured in Sweden in its traditional non diet form. Almost like drinking a non alcoholic sweet white grape beer!!!!.

Are you talking about these? Food Ireland sells them in the states. No tax but you have to pay shipping. They have the most reasonable shipping charges of any of the British food sites, I've found.
