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.

[ynkeesfn82]

And here's something I forgot about until KIX 100.9 out of Springfield, Mass brought it up on their Facebook Page. - 3D Doritos.

[Pikapower]

What about Kick soda?


Or Josta?



Or Exclaim? (Ames brand cola)

[Pikapower]

I don't know why they got rid of The McPizza

Maybe the McPizza was just as much of a flop as the Arch Deluxe, New Coke, and Crystal Pepsi!

Wasn't there a blue Heinz ketchup?

http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/money/industries/food/2003-04-07-blue-ketchup_x.htm

Apparently - looks like red, green, purple, pink, orange and teal (plus the blue) per the article.

OK - Any of the New England folks remember Squeeze sodas?

[Pikapower]

^I knew it, there was a blue version of the Heinz Ez-Squirt Ketchup in addtion to the green, purple, and "traditional" red colors!
Perhaps the blue Heinz ketchup wasn't as memorable as the green and purple ones! :(

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?
