3D Doritos

For a couple years Captain Morgan had a gingerbread flavoured rum around Christmas time. It was amazing and I miss it.

Eggo Waf-Fulls. These things had an incredibly good filling in them that made for a decent breakfast on those mornings I'd oversleep and needed a quick bite.

The Double Decker taco from Taco Bell.

McDonald's McWrap. Though I hate McDonald's and don't support them now, those McWraps were pretty good.

This is probably going to show my age, but I miss OK Soda, Josta, Cool Britania ice cream, and Salsa Rio Doritos.

Orbitz drink. The weird one that was at the 99¢ store that had the little gel balls

O'Grady's Au Gratin potato chips. It was when they stopped being sold that the world really started going to shit.

Peanut butter Twix

Good humor ice cream truck Fat Frog.

Fat Frog

There was a short boom of all different kinds of Fassbrause here in Germany. Fassbrause is a carbonated drink, that gets its carbonation from brewing, is made of grain malt and fruits and non-alcoholic (literally barrel-fizz).

It was then followed by a short trend of every rapper and streamer making their own iced tea and now the trend still going on is energy drinks.

I miss the selection of Fassbrause. It was not to sweet, malty and fruity, just perfect. Now I have to look for what feels like the two last brands still producing.

McDonald’s Spanish Omelettes. As a kid I had them when in the USA. I was sad to see they where canceled.

Mountain dew live wire

If drinks count, I miss Snapple's Root Beer. That shit had more bite than a German shepherd.

In the 90s, the local Taco Bells in Portland had a menu item called "Mexi-nuggets" which were a Mexican spiced tater tot. In the combo meals, they filled the role of fries like you get in your burger combo (like the two tacos and Mexi-nugget combo)

I was quite surprised to find out the stores in Washington didn't sell them, and instead of Mexi-nuggets, the combos just had... Another taco.

They were delicious, and I still think about them

The S'mores cereal that was like golden grams. Had it in the 80s, it was the best.

Crystal Pepsi

I was quite fond of Altoids sours and cherry vanilla coke. Though I don't miss the latter much because I'm not much of a soda drinker anymore and those mix in fountain drink dispensers exist now. Still a fiend for mints though.

Wheatables.

Wheat thins just don't quite hit the same way.

Those cheesecake bars made by Philadelphia cream cheese.

The Mickey and friends popsicles

Ice cream bin bons.

The fruit snack variety boxes you could get from Price club. I think it came with 4, Garfield and Odie, Dinosaurs, Airplanes/fighter jets, and I wanna say the last one was unicorns?

I miss the pretzel snack „snyders of Hannover“ here in Germany… they discontinued them not too lang ago because of some new regulations 😢

Those spicy Skittles.
