There are many of us in the South that are still in mourning for the "old" version of White Lily flour. I think the same mega-company is also responsible for the death of Three Rivers Cornmeal Mix.

Oh yes, it' a standing joke in our family, if we like something, it won't last. We are very careful now not to comment on how much we like some new food, hoping the new food gods won't notice, but so far, it hasn't worked.

I used to buy diet grapefruit Shasta soda, and they stopped making that, but at least they have started making diet Squirt again, although for a while I could not get that either.

I posted a similar thread a couple of years ago, but I cannot remember what else I included. Welch's has stopped making unsweetened cranberry juice concentrate, but I now buy it in jars and not concentrated. Hagen Daas used to make Amaretto ice cream/gelato, but I can now find other brands, but not on a regular basis, and so I just add the Amaretto (or Frangelico) to vanilla ice cream. TJ's makes a coffee ice cream that I adore (and add Frangelico to), but I cannot always find it - possibly because it gets sold out. TJ's also used to have some Italian wafer cookies (somewhat like Kitkats but much better) that I no longer find. However, I have no trouble finding more cookies that I like than I should eat.

I miss root beer popsicles.

My favorite yogurt, Chobani passion fruit, has disappeared from local shops. I can't find candied peel anywhere. It's enough to turn me into the grinch.

Not much into packages in general, but like most people, we use some.

I used to buy cans (that looked just like a soda) of juice concentrate. It was so much better than the frozen, IMO, and not taking up space in freezer.

There was a disposable green cheese grater sold by (Kraft? - called "grate it fresh?") a few years ago with a delicious, soft (as far as Parm goes) block of Parmesan cheese in there and just when I got really into grating some onto about everything, it disappeared. It was so handy and so much better than a little plastic tub of already dry pre-grated, and I never have liked that powdered stuff much which I now can't eat at all.

My son misses key lime yogurt too!

I miss the old soft corn (NOT flour) tortillas in a really fat, short can.

Real hershey syrup, also in a can.

...real ingredients in general!

This is pretty much true no matter what it is...heck even toilet paper sucks anymore! Now they've changed up Puffs tissues and they suck now too. Doesn't matter if it's food or toiletries or cosmetics...if I like it you can bet they'll stop making it or change it all up to where it's not good anymore.

LOL AR girl - I just bought some Puffs and was wondering if they changed. They feel rougher and not as much lotion. Oh well, guess I won't smear up my sunglasses so bad next time I accidently grab a Puffs to clean them!

Mint Snapple. Haagen-Daz Coffee Chip ice cream. Some really good yogurt pops from 30 years ago. Disposable cutting sheets that had hard plastic on the back and an absorbent layer on the front. Reynolds wide plastic wrap. Rolodex organizer pages.
That's just off the top of my head. I always say if I like a product, it's gone. I wish I could sign up for a service to alert me before stuff is discontinued.

King Oscar sardines in pesto sauce.
Trappist Kadota Fig preserves.

I live in an area that is a test market for many products. Things come in and sometimes you think they are great. And then they are gone. Pfft.

Brach's chocolate covered cherries.....

Butternut bread, a hostess brand.....

Sadly mourned.

Not gone forever, but hard for me to find:

Pineapple jam. Several companies make it, there's just not a lot of demand for it so I can only find it occasionally. Like now, at Xmas! Kozlowski Farms makes pineapple jam only during the holidays, and I like theirs the best so I bought six jars, LOL.

Black walnut ice cream. Nobody eats it out here on the West Coast. And I hate most cheap ice cream, so I live for the short period every year when Hagen Daz comes out with their black walnut in the pint size, and buy two of the pint containers every week for as long as my local store will carry it. For myself only; if anybody else in the house touches it I yell at them. "Hands off my black walnut ice cream or ELSE!" And since I'm the cook and have the 8" Wusthof chef's knife at hand, nobody dares to argue - LOL!

Lipstick is my problem. AS soon as I find a brand I like in a color I like, I can't get it any more. I know that "fashion" changes but darn it, I'm not fashionable and don't want to be. (sigh)

Foods? A local company has cinnamon coffee, but it's seasonal, so I can't get it year round. Can't stock up on it either, it gets stale.

Annie

I would love to find pineapple jam, but I had not thought of looking for it. I love it on ice cream. I'll have to look for it and buy a few jars myself!

For my lips, I use cheap lip balm, and I like all flavors. I prefer the ones without a tint, however, as I am not careful how I put it on. I have to put it on every night or else my lips will be chapped in the morning. I'm not sure why this is happening.

Lars

Wow, Jkom, I've never seen Haagen-Daz black walnut. I wonder if it gets to the east coast. THeir pistchio is hard to find where I am in PA, so when I'm at my daughter's in CT I eat a lot of it.

Aunt Sally cookies, cream drops candy and Malwart had a mint cup that was shaped like a mini Reese's cup but was mint, like and Andes mint. The old Bacon Thins crackers. Now they're "healthier". I want crackers, not "healthier". If I want healthier I'd eat the box.

Not just food items, Can't find White Rain shampoo here anymore. Walgreen's dropped it. $1/bottle shampoo that worked better than any other I've used.

Check the Vermont Country Store. They have a catalog/mail order business, and carry a lot of old brands that can't find distribution otherwise.

I know that some of the things can be had via the internet but I'll be d@mned if I'll pay $25 a pound for cream drops or $10 a bottle for any shampoo! LOL

Another thread reminded me of the McDonalds apple pies (fried) and the Arby-Q sandwich with real chunks of beef. Liked them both.

Oh, if I could only find Marie Callender's Santa Fe Chicken. It has disappeared from my area.

Same goes for Alberto VO5 Unscented Hair Spray.

Boston Cream Pie Toaster Strudel has disappeared from Kroger.
Maybe Wal-Mart won't find out that it has been banned!

Can't find black walnuts anywhere whether in ice cream or not. Miss sardines in pesto too.

I haven't found it on the shelves in months so today I asked the produce manager where the Vidalia Onion Sweet Relish is kept. Sorry, they no longer stock it. How am I suppose to eat my hot dogs?? But at least I can order online so all has not disappeared.

So glad to know I'm not the only one with this issue....misery loves company.

Another thing I miss was at work in the keurig machine in winter they had a delish coffee blend called French toast. Now that I'm not working, I'm not about to buy a machine just for that...

still mourning the lost of Kraft golden Caesar salad dressing and Frybe's pickled Ukrainian sausages. However the sausages I have found a recipe that is very similar.

Oh, the Vidalia Onion Sweet Relish! My grocer won't stock it anymore, either. I made my own this past year, it was good but not as good. Also I used to buy Stockmeyer's Lentil soup (the best) and can't find it now. And the Polski Wyrob Polish pickles (the whole ones). And Mars bars!! And the Campbell's Chunky Manhattan style clam chowder - no more. And Golden Guernsey milk. It was so rich and thick!! And Frosty Morn smoked sausage, and Hillshire Farms Hot smoked sausage, and now I can't find smoked sausage that is just pork, it's all got pork and turkey in it which makes me think it's probably bottom-of-the-barrel of everything.

Hubby loved Nalley's Noodle Chicken Dinner. It came in a can but he always liked it for lunches when I was at work. It disappeared -- no longer made.

Awhile back, Hunt's Chili Beans were the staple I used to make, well...chili! No longer made. Bush's are a good substitute but not the same.

Our Wal-Mart stopped carrying their own brand of NutraSweet in the little packages. Finally found that the commissary's brand is comparable in price.
