1988 Wendy's "Super Bar" Salad Bar TV Commercial
If you like this commercial *PLEASE SUBSCRIBE*. In the past I have used monetization to cover costs of new content acquisition. Its wasn't much but it did he...

Wendy's ghost pepper fries. They were not hot, but the "Ghost pepper" sauce was everything I want in a fast food condiment.
Man these were gooood. 99% of the time they weren't hot at all but very tasty and a must-order for sure. I haven't liked any of their fry-based offerings since.
Does it still completely fill in every surface of your teeth? I'd take that trade.
When my wife and I lived in a studio apartment in the early 2000s, we would order a Mama Zella from Round Table Pizza and this basically fed us for days.

Might as well get my usual nostalgia out of the way:
The joke at school was that it was everything they swept up off the factory floor in a chocolate bar, and - while we're not *really* talking about floor sweepings - that's pretty much what it is. Little bits of all their major bars; fruits and nuts from Fruit 'n' Nut, crunchie pieces from Crunchies, fudge bits from Fudge.
It was glorious.
Edit: And now I've noticed this. Might start looking up brownie tins on Amazon...

Gamer Grub. What am I, a gamer, supposed to eat now?!
I actually won a bag of this after coming in first in a video game trivia challenge in college. I was so disappointed, but then I ate it on the drive home from school and it was pretty good.
My answer to the thread would be Dunkaroos, but since those have been posted I'll go with Waffle Crisp.
They stopped making them here a couple years ago. They also don't sell any Mini Wheats here anymore all we have is knock off brands that suck :'(

I got a bunch of the old ones and the new ones. And as weird as it sounds, the new ones were way better.
The old ones hard those awful hard bits.
For about a year Starbucks had a wonderful vegan dark chocolate, banana and coffee smoothie you could buy at the store that was absolutely fantastic. Miss it so much but I've found recipes online that taste identical
I'm quoting my post from March because I learned today that McDonald's apparently discontinued their snack wraps (or at least they're no longer available at my location, IDK if it's due to supply issues because of COVID tho) so that sucks because I wanted to get a couple for lunch today. 😭😭😭
Followed by their replacement which was also discontinued afaikI actually won a bag of this after coming in first in a video game trivia challenge in college. I was so disappointed, but then I ate it on the drive home from school and it was pretty good.

Out of all the types they do I'm not sure why this is one they retired. I assume it didn't sell well.
When you could still get these about once a week I would get the craving and head down to the shop to pick up a big bar (either 150g or 200g can't remember) and settle down with a cuppa and a book and and pretty much devour the whole thing.

The one I'm never going to forgive is the Beefy Crunch Burrito from Taco Bell:
This thing was around in 2011, and it was wonderful. Then they decided to turn it into the Taco Bell version of the McRib and limited release it a few times over the years. Now it's just... a thing they used to make. The closest you can get is to ask for sour cream on the Beefy Frito Burrito (which is pretty close) but... yeah, with the new rice recipe and no flaming hot Fritos, it's not the same.
I came to this thread specifically to lament the loss of 3D Doritos, glad I'm not the only one.

Best doritos ever
They brought back the flavor which was great but without the 3D, just isn't the same. Would go wild on these if they brought them back

These are still around. At least in NY, they are. Bought them a few weeks ago. They're money. So good.
The Taco Bell naked chicken chalupas were so much better than anything else Taco Bell serves that I literally won't go if they aren't there.
Congratulations, your experiment in exciting new ways to destroy my colon also destroyed my interest in anything else on your menu, smartasses.

Oh man I'm so jealous! Nowhere to be found in Norcal :-(
Amazon has a subscription for it.
Half the time the boxes are in bad shape, but the drinks are still good/ not expired.
Fuck me these were so good and so short lived.My answer is always the same: Butterfinger B.B.'s:
I don't care for Butterfinger candy bars nor do I care for their pseudo-replacement, Butterfinger Bites. But there was something different about how Butterfinger B.B.'s structured their crispy core. It was just so much more pleasing and clean to eat. To have lived in a world with Butterfinger B.B.'s and to now live in a world without them often leaves me cold wondering what we will even have left to leave for our children.
People going on and on about McD's pizza, but no... McDonald's in Canada did a nationwide campaign for the greatest fast food side ever, ONION NUGGETS. They were basically pearl onions that were pulverized, breaded and fried. And they were divine. They also only lasted for what seemed like a single summer. The lack of onion-based side dish is part of why I don't often go to McDonald's anymore.
And I will remember the taste of this until the day I die:

Yup, the Cruncher was great, too.
Never got to try this, but I totally would today. Doesn't that line over the "A" mean that the name is pronounced "Coca Cola Blake?"
i don't really drink soda anymore, but sprite remix. internet opinions weren't favorable from what i've seen, but i loved it at the time.
was just about to post this. i remember whispers about it coming back but i dunno if that ever happened.Mainly nostalgia
I miss these delicious things from Carls JR.

Arby's got rid of these and I will forever give them shit for it. They were really good, and paired with ones' own hot sauce.
Also more recently, Jersey Mikes got rid of their pastrami reuben sub sandwich at my locations and I cannot believe it. Always the one I got and now I have to settle for something lesser, like their #42.

Hit the nail on the head. Regular butterfingers gets stuck between and onto ones' teeth and acts like an adhesive that won't come off. Like dental cleaning they put on at the end. These did not leave any of that. Now I want those and am sad I can't get them. :(My answer is always the same: Butterfinger B.B.'s:

Can confirm. I was at a huge grocery store a few months back and saw tons of them. But they haven't appeared in any other locations for some reason.
I believe it's a Covid limited menu issue. They also don't have the chicken tenders anymore, which they spend a ton of money marketing, and which I have to imagine will return.
As for me, it's the Taco Bell Grilled Stuffed Nacho. This thing was incredible.
I mean they're technically still in production, but they haven't been available for a long time in The Netherlands :c
