McDonald's Arch Deluxe
McDonald's Pizza
I liked The Arch Deluxe and the McPizza too. I remember the McPizza was available as a Happy Meal option. I don't know why they got rid of The McPizza, but The Arch Deluxe was as big of a flop as New Coke.
And here's something I forgot about until KIX 100.9 out of Springfield, Mass brought it up on their Facebook Page. - 3D Doritos.

They still make Dunkaroos, they're now just as hard to find as Ravioli-O's. As for the Nestlé Magic, they later replaced the toy prize inside due to a law banning toys inside foods (and that's why you never see Ferrero-Rocher's Kinder Surprise chocolates in US stores). The law dates back the 1930's. So Nestlé ended up putting candy inside the chocolate balls and later rebranded the product as "Wonder Ball".

I think that the ban on toys inside candy should be lifted (it is a stupid 1930s law anyway), and put warning labels be put on the Kinder Surprise product label just like they do with any product that poses a choking hazard to children under 3 years of age.

That silly law regarding toys in food doesn't stop fast food restaurants from putting toys in kiddie meals, but it may have stopped companies from putting prizes in cereal boxes. But then how are fast food kiddie meal toys and cereal box prizes legal?

That's because the prize is separated from the cereal or kid's meal contained within by it's own package.
Now a days you get no prizes in cereal boxes, but back in the day some cereals had small fun size/sample packs of candy in theme. Christmas Cap'n Crunch had one year a pack of sprinkled frosting to put on the cereal.
I blame the fact that parents don't want their kids to eat sugary cereals and eat more cereals that are low in sugar like Kix for the demise of cereal box prizes and not that law that bans non-food stuff (like toys) inside food!
They still have cereal box prizes every once in a while, but not as often as they used to.
Just last year at this time, they had SpongeBob SquarePants water squirters inside boxes of General Mills-branded cereals, including Golden Grahams, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Lucky Charms, Cheerios, etc. Each water squirter (8 of them total) had a picture of SpongeBob SquarePants characters on one side, two water squirters had a picture of SpongeBob SquarePants, other characters included Gary (SpongeBob's pet snail), Patrick Star (SpongeBob's starfish friend), Squidward Tentacles (SpongeBob's eternally cranky octopus neighbor/Krusty Krab co-worker), Sandy Cheeks (SpongeBob's other friend, the squirrel from Texas), Eugene Krabs (a.k.a. Mr. Krabs) (SpongeBob and Squidward's boss at The Krusty Krab restaurant), and Sheldon J. Plankton (Mr. Krabs' business rival and owner of The Chum Bucket restaurant).

Long John Silver's just recently re-released their Baked Cod Fillet Meal, however it is a different cut from the piece of the cod now. At the same time, they no longer put the seafood crumb topping on top of the finished product. This really stinks. This was my #1 favorite dish that they made and now that they brought it back they completely changed their recipe from the original recipe that they had before.
"NEW! Coke" was discontinued in the mid 1980s only to be brought back in the 1990s as "Coke II" for a short period of time, then get discontinued again. I guess there were a few people that actually liked it. ???

I miss the Volcano Taco at Taco Bell, they just discontinued it! :(
When I was very young my dad used to buy us Funny Face Drink Mixes.
They were a direct competitor to Kool Aid, and I think they sold for a few
pennies less (likely why he bought them).
They quit selling them because they had what were, in retrospect, some politically
incorrect and racially insensitive cartoon characters on the package for the various
flavors. "Injun' Orange" had an orange with Indian warpaint and headdress. "Chinese
Cherry" had a cherry with a horribly stereotypical Chinese face on it. Etc.
Later my mom got on a health food kick, so he would have had to quit buying them anyway.

Several Nabisco products from my childhood come to mind.
Cheese Tid-Bits - These were cheddar cheese flavored crackers, a bit like Cheez Its, except that
they were finger-shaped. They were sticks about an inch long by 1/4 inch wide, and rounded at
the ends.
Mr. Salty - Nabisco's brand of stick pretzels. Unlike most pretzels they came in a box.
Doo Dads - A sort of party mix that was made up of Cheese Tid-Bits, Mr. Salty Pretzels,
peanuts, rice and wheat Chex.
My grandparents always had boxes of this stuff lying around their house.
I remember one time they had a big fight after my grandfather came to bed with
Cheese Tid-Bits in the shirt pocket of his pajamas.
It's amazing to think Nabisco was once owned by RJ Reynolds, a tobacco company (and yes primarily a cigarette manufacturer).

RJR Nabisco also owned the Kentucky Fried Chicken and Zantigo Mexican restaurants until 1986 (RJR Nabisco purchased both restaurants from Heublein), which they sold to PepsiCo. A majority of the Zantigo restaurants were converted to Taco Bell, except for one location in Minnesota. Zantigo would be re-established nearly 25 years later by former Zantigo managers as an upscale Mexican restaurant chain serving Minneapolis and the surrounding area.

After seeing some old Trix yogurt ads from the 90s where they showed that it had three colors, I thought to myself "Why did they changed it from a three layered yogurt into a two colored side by side yogurt?"

Actually, out of the five Zantigo locations in Michigan in 1986, only one (in Saint Joseph) was converted to Taco Bell and even that building has been replaced with a newer Taco Bell building. Here's what happened to the rest:
- Belleville is now a Wendy's.
- Lincoln Park later became a Tubby's Subs and is now an Enterprise car-rental place. That location did not convert to Taco Bell since there was already one about a quarter-mile away.
- Redford is now a used-car dealership. That location did not convert to Taco Bell since there was already one further down Telegraph Road that has since closed.
- Traverse City is now an independent taco place called Taco House.

far too much for them, considering the location, but I disregarded the cost each time I slipped one of those babies into my mouth. No matter how many Euros it cost me, it was worth it.
Crispy M&M's and French Toast Crunch are back! Now all we need as for Oreo O's, Surge, Fruitopia, and Lunchables Pizza Swirls to make a comeback. ;)

It's back! I saw it at my local Festival Foods store a few days ago.
Crystal Pepsi is being brought back for a very limited time in a sweepstakes:

Surge - Coke's answer to Mountain Dew.
So I follow Burger King on Facebook and I've been seeing "sponsored ads" on their page announcing that Surge is back and available at their restaurants.

It's only available at BK in frozen form, no fountain drink surge, just frozen surge.
Crystal Clear Pepsi returns for a limited time, but as part of a sweepstakes. Crystal Clear Pepsi was the clear cola (cola that looked like water) that was introduced in the early-mid 1990s. I'm pretty sure a few of you remember Saturday Night Live's parody of Crystal Pepsi, a clear, gelatinous gravy called Crystal Gravy (Now you can finally see your meat! ;D).

I tried the Surge Icee last time I was at BK. It was delicious. The drink has had a cult following since its discontinuation in the early 2000s.
I remember surviving off of Pepsi Blue and Dr. Pepper Red Fusion during my college days. If anything needs to make a comeback - and, one of the old "Dewmocracy" contenders was *close* to Pepsi Blue, but I don't think it won out - it's those two. Pepsi Blue is still being made in Indonesia, if eBay's anything to take into consideration, but I'm not paying insane prices for soda.
Oh, yeah, and Smokin' Cheddar BBQ Doritos. Those were *delicious*. Yes, there's a new BBQ Doritos chip out there, but it's one of those "mild to hot" blended taste ones, and I'm afraid to try it. I know that it won't be the same.
What else...? Ooh! Hostess used to make a snack cake called Choco-licious back in the early '90s. It was just chocolate on chocolate on chocolate. Bring THAT back!
Surge is back, and Crispy M&M's are back (the color of the packaging for Crispy M&M's was changed from royal blue to lime green, since royal blue is now being used by Pretzel M&M's)

What do you think of Pretzel M&M's? I didn't care for them. I also saw a "Limited Edition" flavor of M&M's at Walmart Southington, CT today. - "Strawberry Nut". Sounds gross I also got the new Carmel M&M's at the Walmart Neighborhood Market in Bristol, CT about a week and a half ago. I give that about a 7 on a scale of 1-10.
I love the pretzel M&M's, although I like crispy M&M's and caramel M&M's more.
I also tried a new flavor of Mtn Dew today, called "DEW.S.A." which combines the flavors of Code Red, White Out and Voltage into one purple-hued soda with a patriotic Mtn Dew label. The new, limited edition flavor came out just in time for Memorial Day 2017.
This is the line that was impacted by the recent listeria recall

No more TV breakfast dinners?
There will still be frozen breakfast items, it's just Aunt Jemima and Hungry Man breakfast items that will be discontinued.
^Duly noted, frozen breakfast foods aren't going away anytime soon.
Speaking of breakfast Kid Cuisine had a some breakfast TV dinners in the early 1990s like french toast, waffles, and scrambled eggs.
Post Oreo O's are coming back!

I saw some Reese's Crunchy Cookie Cups at Top Friendly Markets today. Apparently they've made a comeback as well.

I spent $25 to have these imported from Korea a few months ago and I was glad I did, all these years later it's still my favorite cereal.
Now that I know Walmart has these I'm going their tomorrow and getting some.
Earlier in this decade, Frito-Lay brought back four different flavors of Doritos Flavored Tortilla Chips in retro packaging that looked straight out of the 1970s or 1980s:
Taco (orange label)
Sour Cream & Onion (green label)
Salsa Rio (red label)
Jumpin' Jack Cheese (black label)

Out of the four retro flavors, the Taco-flavored Doritos are still available as of 2018.
