I was sitting here thinking about many products that have come and gone over the years. I use to love the Cadbury Rum and Butter bars. There were so many things the different flavors sodas like Pepsi Twist which as a twist of lemon flavor in it. We had the different colors of ketchup like the green and purple ones. There were Buried Treasured Ice cream just to name a few.
What product that used to be very popular would you like them to bring back or sometimes get a craving for?

I was just thinking about this the other day and was going to make a post about it.. My mom brother and I used to all love the 3D doritos, and the bandaid bubblegum.. neither of which have been out in many years. Also, there was a rugrats ice cream bar, that had cookie in the front with a rugrats character on it then ice cream in the middle and chocolate on the back.. use to love those wish all three would come back out.

Those 3D Doritos were good! I wish they'd bring them back as well.

The Doritos were so good and I remember those rugrat ice cream bar. They were cool and good too. I can't remember the bandaid bubblegum though.

@Happy2BeMe I find the Pal-O-Mine chocolate bars more sweet than when I was young. Maybe it is a matter of aging.

I remember all those and they use to have the Black Cat bubble gum for Halloween. I think they may still have the turkish delight bars but I am not sure. I heard somebody at work talking about them not that long ago,

Blackjack gum, Teaberry gum, Beeman's, and Cloves gum. These were four wonderful gum flavors, I loved!

I miss paper grocery bags-remember those?
I'm sure that there are foods that I miss also, but I honestly cannot think of any right now off of the top of my head.
I miss the Mothers Pizza chain resturants, I used to love going there back in the day when I was a teenager.

Mothers Pizza was so good. I forgot about that place. We have a few stores here who still use paper grocery bags.

I used to love the Ghostbusters cereal! I was hoping they'd bring it back when they made the reboot movie, but alas, they didn't.

I vaguely remember green ketchup but definitely not purple.
I do like Fresca soda and it's very hard to find

It was and it was a mind thing. I mean green ketchup wasn't too appealing looking.

I miss the penny candy we had as kids. You could have a quarter and get 25 pieces of candy. Now and then you can find some of them, but they are few and far between.

Yes those were the days and sometimes you could even get ones that were two for a penny. They have some at the corner store here but they are .10 a candy.

I am not sure. I never had the colored ketchups but I remember my nieces and nephews eating it when they were younger.

Good discussion! We never had rum and butter bars here but I would have loved them. Ideal used to make a chocolate peanut buter cookie in a bar form tha was delicious. I miss those, although LIttle Debbie has a similar product. Also, products like Jello Whip and Chill were good.

@Happy2BeMe May be there is one you know now and it's that garbage of Nutella. I remember their chocolate spread before nutella, the "Pasta Giandujot", that one was a good product, the only ingredients were sugar, milk, cocoa and hazelnut paste. Now the list is long, the cocoa very little, the fats 3/4 of the whole thing.

That is a good question since the names of products that are no longer on the shelves escapes me.
