I'm aware that there was a topic like this recently but I'm too lazy to find it and bring it up. Anyway, name some:
Popeye's Cajun Fried Rice
Popeye's Cajun Fish
Popeye's Chicken Bowl (I think that was what it was called: red beans and rice mixed with chicken and topped with cheese. Came with a packet of sour cream to add even more flavor.)
Popeye's Jambalaya
Popeye's Gumbo
I think you may notice a pattern with me here.....
body shop tea tree oil mattifying lotion
Gap Scents Earth (not recent, but one I still miss)
Local restaurant discontinued their Borsetti.
Red Robins (they closed all their locations in my province)
I think they are still in BC in Canada, but they all closed in Alberta. I heard it was because the company who bought the franchise here didn't want to deal with 2 different provinces. Shame because they were always busy.
We have Red Robin here (Nor Cal) too. I haven’t been to one in a long while. The last one I went in looked like it was going down hill: lots of dirty unbussed tables, greasy seats, slow service, cold food.
Renaming Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben was complete lunacy, but I can see why they changed the name of Eskimo Pie's. Basically, Inuits don't like being called Eskimos and it's understandable why.
Honda Del Sol.... I had this car in dark green, about 10 years ago, and totaled it in an accident.
I got the Miata after that, and for a long time I hated the Miata. It felt like I was cheating on my Del Sol. I'm honestly not sure which car I like better at this point, both cars are highly maneuverable. I can get around traffic like Mario Andretti.
Vanilla Coke
Yahoo! Answers
Orange Yoplait (not the cremiscle one, the real orange one)
Skybars (still available at some penny candy stores but nowhere else)
Cinnamon Tic Tacs
Ahh, I never see it on store shelves anymore, just the cherry one (blech). Sometimes see it on menus but I thought they were just mixing the syrup into regular coke.
Campbell's used to make a smaller sized tin of vegetable soup with pearl barley and John West used to make a small tin of curried tuna that I would combine in a saucepan and heat up to have with a few slices of buttered toast for a nice and tasty quick meal for one. I still have the buttered toast but the other two items are gone.
Real ice-cream. Not the pale imitation we have now.
Flavoured bars of good quality dark chocolate. Used to be able to get peppermint, orange and raspberry but now there is only plain.
Coffee scrolls. This is going way back when a coffee scroll used to be a spiral of cooked bread dough on the smallish side but it had plenty of sultanas and was heavily spiced with cinnamon and whatnot. Now they are just a big wodge of a bun with a few sultanas and a huge dollop of icing on top.
Sour dough bread. Used to be more widely available but now you have to travel to the trendy inner suburbs to find an "artisan" baker and pay through the nose for it.
Side-throw mowers. It's all rear catcher mowers these days.
I have tried the "expensive" brands but I don't like them either. I'm talking about supermarkets in Australia, not a lot of choice and mostly lowest common denominator stuff.
The only ice-creams I buy are the mini sized Magnums with vanilla ice-cream and dark chocolate. The full sized Magnums are different with inferior ice-cream for some bizarre reason.
No, I haven't noticed them anyway. There seem to be a dozen variants of the Magnum on a stick but apart from the one I buy they are all coated in milk chocolate which tastes insipid to me.
