WWE ICE CREAM BARS! Also the WWF Cookies from WAY back. The ones that had just a hint of a lemon taste in them. They didn't have WWF Ice Cream Bars in Canada, but when I was 8 (this would be 1990), my family was in Boston and I found one in a gas station and I was ecstatic. I believe it was Hillbilly Jim. Also, while on the topic of ice cream, does anybody remember the Super Mario Bros. ice cream sandwiches from maybe 1991-1992? They were vanilla cookies with vanilla ice cream. They were delicious.

Another one I've recently realized I haven't seen in a while: Cow Tails. Cow tails I think fall in to the category of like circus peanuts or candy corn. YOu eat them just infrequently enough to trick yourself into thinking it'll be different this time. Cow Tails are still around. I grew up in the sticks, and they were everywhere for a quarter, usually. General stores, ball games, country fairs, etc. Never cared for them, though. Yeah, I believe there are still some sorts of these around, but I'm not positive. For a while after the big stink and pull they were selling them in a less easy to open box and smaller without the pink dot on the end by Marvel. I never truly understood the stink, as Big League Chew was on the market for a long time afterwards and I believe still is. Oh, and Gatorade and Dr. Pepper gum. I swore there were other soda gums like 7-Up as well. DP was the best, though.

Also, they discontinued the best Gatorade flavour of all-time: Lemon Ice (it was the clear stuff).

In the same vein of the ice cream bars, how about Flintstone Push Up Bars? Those things were delicious and messy. It would take special circumstances for me to get one of those things from my parents.

Different flavors of Twix. They had the normal one, peanut butter, cookies n creme, and fudge I think. I think it's down to just normal and peanut butter. The peanut butter ones are now crap. I don't like the chocolate cookies that are in them now. Peanut butter Twix with the regular cookie bars ruled. Do they still sell Now N' Laters? Those and the 1 cent Bazooka Joe's were the treats of my childhood.

Those and the 1 cent Bazooka Joe's were the treats of my childhood. That's what I figured. I haven't had any flavor aside from the regular since whatever year it was they had all four flavors. I would eat them every day if there were different (good) flavors.

Another one I would like to add is not so much a discontinued product but rather a discontinued packaging, I totally miss the old Jolly Rancher sleeve packaging. Very small, almost like the starburst packaging. Now all you have are the individually wrapped bags and the punk ass punch card packaging. Can't find a picture now but it was very similar to the Bubble Yum bubble gum packaging. Like this?
