Another one I miss, but isn't a mass market item is what I call drill fries. A guy at a local convention had a blade mounted to a piece of metal, and would stick a potato at the end of a drill and drill it through the blade, similar to those spiralizers, but even thinner. Fried in peanut oil for a couple minutes with salt it was the perfect blend of crispy and salty.

Jack in the Box mini sirloin burgers
oh yeah, those were good. Forgot them.
Also tried pepsi crystal when it came back, not bad.
Oh yeah, I miss PF Changs Dan Dan noodles. Supposedly it's in stores, but they don't have it in restaurant.

If it's those, good news, they're around, just slightly difficult to find.

New Belgium Pumpkick Ale. Was fucking obsessed with that stuff. Then they got rid of it for some shitty pumpkin chili beer that everyone agrees is nowhere near as good

No it was something different. Love Andy caps hot fries though. But what I'm talking about was like the hot fries and the cheese fries combined but amped up to 11

Taco Bell spicy chicken. I remember it being really good, but maybe that's nostalgia.

Not food related: Legend of the Five Rings CCG

Food related: Thingamajig candy bars. Basically a Whatchamacallit with dark chocolate. My favourite candy bar ever.

Clover club chili chips. Not my absolute favorite but there's just nothing like them when the craving hits.

Also, original flavor Spearmint Lifesavers. These at least I found an acceptable replacement.

Most of my food answers have been said already, but I definitely miss the Rax Mushroom and Swiss. Still can't believe Arby's hasn't tried something similar.

Pantene Pro-V 10 in 1 BB creme. stuff worked miracles, and i've not found anything since that's worked as well for as cheap.

I cut myself off from CCGs around the time L5R was ending; divested my collection or I'd see if I could help. I really liked that setting (had a D&D campaign in that world back in 3.5) and it was a pretty good CCG too. Sadly it was a lot harder to find a game than with MtG so I didn't actually play that often.

i got lucky, early on my brother was always up for games, and then my FLGS owner was personally into L5R more than any other ccg. after he sold the store i tried to keep/bring it back a couple times, but it definitely got harder.

Now i want a huge personal collection; enough to support an entire playgroup. but it's getting harder to find stuff for reasonable prices.

Those are really common still

@Naysaspace Really common where specifically? Cause I have searched and searched and can never find any. If I do see anything, its the JuJubes but those are not the same (trust me, I tried them). Even on the internet basically the only place they seem available is Canada, and I dont live there.

I did end up buying some bulk on Amazon last year but I would prefer not to do that again if possible. Also the bulk ones that I got were not as good as the CVS ones.

Sour jube jubes

Can be had anywhere. Superstore, sobeys, walmart, bulkbarn, etc.

Not sure what cvs is, sounds like a hardware store so ill go with that. They dont OEM candy, they buy off a generic.

What part of the world are you in? Cause as someone that scours the candy section of almost every store I go to, I have never again seen sour Jubes. At best all I find are the JuJubes, which suck. And of the stores that you mentioned, Walmart is the only one I am familiar with. But trust me, Ive been to many Walmarts in my area. They dont have them.

Even if I type in Sour Jubes Walmart into google, it directs me to the Canadian Walmart site.
