PB Max candy bars. The best candy bar ever ... first they changed the bar from one huge bar, to 2 small bars .... and then it was gone. Very sad.

Cheddar Chex Mix.. Not the stuff on the shelves now. The old Cheddar Chex mix had peanuts instead of the cheese crackers that the current version has. Somehow, it's just not as good.

Keep any eye out for this. They brought it back for the holidays last year. I never saw it myself, but I have heard tell. Someone made a youtube video last year in December, proclaiming "vienetta is back!" [youtube.com]

I was as much a fan of this as anyone, but I've moved on. I've found that there are any number of chocolate-laden vanilla ice cream treats that are as good. They might not look like a big fancy ice cream lasagna, but they're a lot easier to find Big Grin

Good alternatives:

Trader Joes makes an ice cream dessert that looks sort of like Vienetta. Can't recall what the name of it is though.

Apple Fruit Roll-Ups. They seem to have stopped making them in the 80s. I don't think they even make actual fruit flavors any more.

Big Mac's from back in the days when they made them with a paper band around them. Without sauce added they were really good. Not much like the one's today.

And slightly off topic, Gourmet magazine. I'm going to miss that.

I agree. I hate those nasty cheese triangles. I no longer buy them due to the fact they don't have peanuts in them. I wonder if they thought they would sell more without them, because of people with nut allergies. Who really knows...

Funny, I like them much better without the nuts.

Chicken littles from KFC
Planters peanut butter crisp thingies (can't remember the name but my God they were sooooooo good, they were light and crispy with a sweet peanut butter middle shaped like peanuts) - they were early 90's I think
Smurfberry cereal
The peanut butter twix from the 80's - waaaayyy good
Pizzarias (I think? Made by Keebler- had cheese pizza flavor, pepperoni flavor)
Hardees in the 80's before they had all these burger changes, and also Burger Kings original fries - I hate the ones they have now Frown

That's just to name a few that is coming to my head right now Smilie damn the companies who get us hooked and then snatch the goodies from under our hands!

Oh, and also how they use to have neat little toys or trinkets in the cereal boxes - not food I know - but those toys were always so cool! Do they even do that anymore?!?
