    I am probably too old for them but I miss Kinder Surprise whenever I'm in the states. They sell them in Mexico and Canada but the US doesn't because they're a "choking Hazard" :huh:

    When I was a kid, there were these nougat sticks rolled in granola and mini chocolate chips. Similar to a Payday, but smaller and the nougat was vanilla flavored and it tasted like a chewy frosting. I wish I could remember the name of them! My mother used to put these things in my lunchbox back in the early 80's. No one I know remembers them. I swear they aren't a figment of my imagination!

    Not exactly "on shelves" but the Santa Fe gorditas from Taco Bell.

    The Marathon Bar (it was a chocolate covered caramel candy bar that looked braided or like chain links). Those were the best, miss them. Orange flavored Live Wire Mountain Dew. If it is still made, I haven't seen it in my part of the country in years. :(
    Carnation Chocolate Chip breakfast bars (not the kind they have now- completely different ones from when I was a child). Man, now I want these things.

    I know right... I used to buy 3 boxes of 3 and eat them all at once :embarassed:

    If I had to pick one thing from France that I miss the most, it would be 'danette'. They're kind of thin puddings sold in the yoghurt section. So delicious. Pastries, croissants and cheese I can find here... Brioches and madeleines my mom can bring me... but not that.

    When I was a kid they had microwavable carmel popcorn. It came with this slab of caramel to put on the hot popcorn and let ot melt all over it. It's probably good they don't make it anymore, cause that caramel never made it to the popcorn without at least one bight out of it!

    No, Mary Janes are just a nougat candy, peanut butter & molasses.

    I believe the poster is referring to Nature Valley Granola Clusters. :)

    Obviously, this isn't the chocolate chip flavor, but I found a pic! :D

    When I was a kid, there were these silver sweets called cola balls, which were a bit like aniseed balls, only silver and cola flavoured rather than aniseed flavoured.

    They were taken off the market because the silver colour in them came from aluminium. (Yep in true 80s kid style, ate sweets full of toxic metals).

    Anyway, yes I missed them a lot. And they never did me any harm....

    You can buy these in Canada at Bulk Barn, but I am pretty sure that they no longer contain aluminum. Definitely taste like cola though.

    Though I did find I was thinking about that clear Pepsi Max recently... anyone remember that?

    Crystal Pepsi! I was working at Pizza Hut back then, and since it was owned by Pepsi at that time, we had it before it was released to the general public. We were all really excited to try it, only to find that it tasted like window cleaner :noway:

    Anyway, the "food" I miss that is seems to be no longer available is the Arctic Orange shake from McDonald's.

    Those little box cookies, chocolate snaps...I think Nabisco made them at the end.


    I loved them...my mom would buy that as my own little treat.

    I miss old traditional McD's shakes period. They have completely revamped their shakes since I was a kid. Now they are WAY too sweet and try to be fancy with whipped cream and stuff. :P I miss the good old shakes. :(

    Doritos and Pringles. Not on my shelf but I also have an overwhelming desire to eat McDonalds from time to time. I haven't in almost 3 years though. Go me.
