Fanta Birch Beer. It's root beer. There is one resteraunt in Florida called Charhut that serves it in there fountain. I live in Kentucky now and can't find it anywhere. So addicted.

Mayfield snow cream. Seasonal. Wish I could get it in the summer. Would be perfect.

Weird, I was a die hard Jolly Rancher addict as a kid and don't remember that at all, just the usual apple sticks. Must have come out after I got older and quit eating them. You're a lot younger than me.
Was it a sugar daddy?

There was a chocolate dipped fudge wafer ( like sugar wafers, but covered in chocolate, and the filling was peanut butter ) back about 10 years ago. They were little bite sized cookies, sort of square in shape, not in long sticks, a big bunch just poured loose into a plastic ( coated type ) bag and the bag was in a bright yellow box. I lived in another state for a while and when I came back to SC , the store where I usually bought them had stopped selling them. ( they were sold at Ingles Markets) I tried all the local grocery stores and also Walmart, Target, and KMart. Searched online, too, but no luck. Thought the brand was Murray's as they were pretty cheap, but checking the company site, they didn't have anything that resembled them or the color of the box. ( Box was similar to a Nabisco Nilla Vanilla wafer box in size and shape )

I tried several different brands of wafer style cookies coated in chocolate, although none of them were bite sized pieces, and even one or more that were peanut butter filled. None tasted the same.

I would kill for some of those little cookies. drool

Would also like to find Dean's Green Onion Dip ( not French Onion, which is sold everywhere here ) and also would love to find some French's Sweet & Zesty Mustard ( formerly called French's Sweet Onion Mustard) without having to order 12 of them at a time from Amazon. It's sold in grocery stores in Canada still and is still called Sweet Onion Mustard, but no grocery store here carries either one.

My Mom kept a list of foods that had been discontinued that she loved. When she passed away recently, I found the list and kept it. On it was:

Oscar Mayer Ham Steaks
French's Sweet Onion Mustard
Betty Crocker Noodles Romanoff
7 Up candy bar
Nabisco Hammies snack crackers
Mounds Pina Colada candy bar
Chipsters ( think they were made by Nabisco or Keebler ) but her list doesn't say
Jello Pudding Pops
Brach's chocolate covered orange sticks
( canned ) Boston Brown bread ( B & M )
Hamwitches ( she had Hormel and ? out to the side of this one )
Romeo's Hearty Jewish Rye bread ( think it was sold in the North, maybe Mass. )

I never tried Vienetta but I was fascinated with how it looked when it first came out.

I saw Zotz the other day but don't remember where, probably at World Market or the grocery store. WM has a lot of the old retro candies at the moment. They have lemon heads, bottle caps, zero bars, etc.

You might want to contact the people at Coke and see if they can tell you if Fanta Birch Beer is distributed/sold in Kentucky.

Here's the page for the 'locate products in your area' page.

I'm pretty sure they still make the Dean's Green Onion Dip as I was looking for French Onion Dip about six months ago and all they had at our store was the green onion dip. Just checked their website and they still list it. Why not send them an email and ask if it's sold in your area?

Thanks I'll do that. If it isn't sold here, maybe they'll send me a free case. laugh out loud

I tried to rep you to say thanks but all your recent posts seem to be in the lounge.

Yawn Make the requests a little harder next time. laugh out loud

Choco Tacos (no dash) are made by Unilever and sold under the Klondike and Good Humor brands. So if you have a nearby store that carries either of those brands check there. If not, check on the Walmart website for stock on hand at stores near you. Just plug in your zip code and if it's not found at the store for that zip, click on the 'Find in another store' link and it will bring up a list of nearby stores and any stock on hand.

The first time I saw them was at a Taco Bell out of state and couldn't find them in my hometown. Then I looked into the ice cream cooler near the checkout at a Toys-R-Us and found some. I have since seen them in convenience stores and Walmarts.

They are sold separately in silver wrappers or in boxes of four tacos.
