Imagine if it were no longer available tomorrow: what food item are you hoarding?

FireOpalCO · July 2019

All foods that combine peanut butter and chocolate. Chocolate dipped nutter butters, nutty buddys, reese's cups, chocolate & peanut butter milkshakes, buckeyes, peanut butter brownies.

If I had to pick one manufactured food instead of a category: nutty buddy wafers.

Right now it would be Built Bars. After years of looking for the perfect protein bar, this is it for me! Love them!
Funny thing is, I keep ordering them cuz I’m halfway worried about them being discontinued, so I kind of am hoarding .

I would be very sad if there were no more Nutella 😥

I recently bought a huge amount of these and although I like them they're too candy bar like for me. My favorite protein bars are still Kirkland from Costco and Sweet Cream Primal Thin from Julian Bakery. 👍

Now......to make it through 30 more Built Bars....lol.

What food does everyone miss that they don't make anymore?

I really miss Twix cookies & crème. I don't like any other type of cookies & crème chocolate bar at all...people always think they're gonna introduce me to a new one that will rival the Twix I loved. Nope. I think they only made it for a few years when I was a teenager. So sad!

I say with 100% surety, and experience, it would be salt, for me.

I have been on an really awful medically necessary elimination diet that had nearly nothing on it. I missed SO many foods. But then I started reacting to salt (or rather, to a common bleaching agent that is used to bleach salt white) and couldn't have it for a few weeks until we figured out why and I could find safe salt.

And hands down, living without salt is five gajillion times worse than going without a single other food. I calculated it out - five gajillion times, exactly. :-)

Lol, that’s what I like about Built Bars, that they are like a candy bar. The protein is secondary to me. But, at 110 calories, and 15 grams of protein, I am very happy with them. I like other protein bars, but the calories are sometimes hard to fit in.
Good luck getting through them though 😉

Now I’m paranoid that companies are going to start discontinuing my favorite foods. 😂

Or worse, reformulate them so that they are still available, but now terrible

Individual Reese's peanut butter cups dark chocolate from my supermarket. I see they are still a thing, but I don't want to by 7 plus oz at a time.

This is happening to me right now with the Raw Rev Dark Chocolate Espresso Crunch bars. I have one every morning for breakfast with a cup of coffee and I found out recently that they're discontinuing it. I just bought ten boxes on Amazon and I'm buying up stock everywhere I can find it.

In other words... what food couldn't you live without?

I actually had to think about this, but if I knew I would never be able to get it again I would 100% be stockpiling grated Parmesan cheese. Or reduced sugar ketchup... or cottage cheese. It's a hard question! Makes you think about the foods we take for granted.

I know this isn't exactly what you meant, but here's what came to my mind...that I couldn't/wouldn't want to live without:

WATER and various fruit seeds, veggie seeds, legumes, beans and nut seeds...seriously

Here's some interesting links that teach us how to grow stuff inside, if necessary.

Wowbutter. I don't even have a peanut allergy but I can't live without it.

Truvia

I started using stevia sweetener when I wanted to cut some calories from my daily breakfast and couldn't go full black coffee. Truvia quickly became my preferred brand, so much so that I started carrying it in my purse for use in restaurants. I have used it so much that I actually prefer the taste of truvia to sugar for my coffee. When I've been out of Truvia and used regular sugar, it just doesn't taste right to me.

If I heard they were going to stop selling Truvia I'd probably stock up on several cases.
