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. Holy crap! Gatorade gum! That had the ooze in the middle of it, no? Also, they discontinued the best Gatorade flavour of all-time: Lemon Ice (it was the clear stuff). There was a type of Gatorade Gum in my country before that (I want to say circa 1991/2) that was of normal if somewhat soft texture and would make my mouth salivate INCREDIBLY. I think the concept was 'quench your thirst by making a gallon of drink in your mouth.' I loved the stuff- used to get it at the counter of my local WaWa (Philadelphia-area convenience store)

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? No, I'm pretty sure this is what he's talking about: As seen in this commercial

Not strictly candy, But i MISS Nestle's CRUNCH.. The rectangle chocolate bar that came in a blue and white box.. filled with rice krispies...
The only thing close is Cadbury's Crackle, but it doesn't taste the same.

I was a huge fan of Starburst Licorice. So much better than anything from Twizzlers (although the new gel-filled sour ones are great, I will admit).

Anyone remember those gel-filled Twizzlers? Those were the only kind I ate, particularly the orange-flavored ones.
And, I have never seen a WWE Ice Cream Bar, but I seriously believe that it several levels of awesome.
