I was happy when they brought it back secretly as Vault and then truly back a couple years ago, it twas the fuel for video game sleepovers as a kid
Old school surge...dont get me wrong, i live that BK brought it back, but i do miss the original.Just like the title implies, name something that's no longer produced that you absolutely loved and wish they'd bring back.
It can be anything from something a restaurant made to I dunno motor oil and everything and anything in between.
For example, I miss Sprinkle Spangles cereal, it was my favorite cereal as a kid.
Picture sugar cookies with sprinkles in cereal form.
Hell yeah! Those things tasted awesome!
Blockbuster as a whole
It usually shows up (but only in limited markets) for a couple weeks either side of Halloween. Yummy Mummy also pops up about the same time, but usually in a different market - They rarely end up side-by-side on the same shelf anymore, even though both end up on the shelf SOMEWHERE around Halloween time. Count Chocula and Frankenberry are almost always available, as is Boo-Berry, but Fruit Brute and Yummy Mummy are apparently held back as "specials".Fruit Brute!!!!View attachment 142355View attachment 142355
Jolt is still around, but you have to be in the right part of the country to find it. *MAJOR* college towns, basically.View attachment 142354
Kept me going many a late night back in college in the 80s... There was only one place in town that had it.
You tellin' me Buster Browns are gone? I hacven't looked in ages, for obvious reasons, but I didn't realize they'd gone tango uniform.Cheese Waffies, Boyer Marshmallow Cups, Buster Brown Shoes( my first Role Model) the Old Buck Rogers Comic strip, and "Terry and the Pirates". I NEVER liked " Steve Canyon" as much as Terry.
Dunno if it's a factory problem thing, or what, but I haven't been able to find devil's food zingers on the shelf in months. Those nasty-ass raspberry ones, sure - worthless things are ab-so-fucking-lutely EVERYWHERE! Can't swing a dead cat without hitting 2 dozen boxes of 'em! But based on how impossible they've been to find for the last few months, the devil's food ones appear to have been outlawed (or maybe exorcised?).Here in Canada there is only one factory that makes Twinkies and due to a flood the whole facility was shutdown and was going to be closed for quite a while, Before long I was dealing with a Twinkie shortage and with no end in sight. Luckily for us Canadians Hostess America stepped up to the plate after several months and began producing the Twinkies and shipping them to Canada. Now I can continue enjoying my favorite little cream filled sponge cakes.
The sucks those are good too.Dunno if it's a factory problem thing, or what, but I haven't been able to find devil's food zingers on the shelf in months.

You'll be pleased to know that I still have a working player and brand new tapes. I actually recorded something in 2020. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.Four head VCR and VHS tapes.
