Things you like/need that they've discontinued

This site is founded on a petition to get something that was once produced but we no longer have access to:

This actually seems to happen a lot and I'm beginning to wonder if it's me.  If it is so, sorry folks: My love of the O-OT seems to be what is preventing you from having it.

Here other things I want to use my money to purchase, but it's simply not available:

The Original-Original Trilogy (Duh)
Pitch Black Mountain Dew (not Pitch Black 2, but they don't make that either) - I roll my own with a can of Citrus Drop (the Kroger Dew) and Welches Grape Soda: Almost as good
Aspergum - Great for sore throats.  Now I roll my own with children's aspirin and stick gum
Orbit 3-Way Sprinkler Manifold with short stems - They only make the long stem one, which won't fit in my junction box... I guess I need to buy a new box?
Benadryl-D - The best allergy medicine I've ever used... shut down by the FDA.  Now I roll my own by sneezing a lot.
McRib - Do I need to explain this one?
General Finishes Georgian Cherry Gel - I was finishing some furniture and ran out of this.  Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot, Sherwin Williams- all they carry is the same brand of the same wrong colors.
Cherry Dr. Pepper - This is gone, right?
Trident Xtra Care Gum - I don't know if this was actually as good for my teeth as the commercials claimed... but it was good gum.

What am I forgetting?

Firefly - I'd roll my own, but the cast hasn't gotten back to me yet
McDonald's Arch Deluxe - (not a big fan of McDonald's, but that was a great burger... as far as piss-poor quality fast food goes)
The 90's - Do I need to explain this one?
Young George Lucas
Douglas Adams
Semi-enjoyable airport experiences - (including meeting people at the gate)
Stanley Kubrick
Bulky cell phones that pre-date text messaging
Horse drawn carriages and your own two feet as primary forms of transportation
The days when you could easily live off the grid, because there was no grid
People actually having to meet face to face in order to socialize

I could go on forever... but, uh, yeah...

Oh yeah,

Ninja Turtle Chocolate Pies! http://www.x-entertainment.com/articles/0898/

 And Crystal Pepsi!

Yeah!  Let's boycott OT.com! ;-)

 Boycott beginning....

NOW!

White Dog Shit!

I am 100% serious! When I was a kid and played or walked in the park or friends yards the poop was white and better able to be avoided.  These days it blends in to well... 

Any food product made before they switched to high fructose corn syrup!

What I would give for a Coke circa 1979. "The Real Thing"!

 You can have it.

1- If you live anywhere with a sizeable Mexican population, go to a Mexican market and buy Mexican coke in a bottle. It's still made with cane sugar.

2- Wait until Passover. Buy the Kosher Coke with the yellow cap. It's a seasonal product made with cane sugar (I guess high fructose corn syrup isn't kosher enough or something.)

Thank you sir! Option #1 works very well for me. Tonight I will toast the first gulp to you.

1. C-3POs cereal. I bought it as an eight-year old because I was into ROTJ, but man that was some good cereal.

2. Pizza Hut's Priazzo. A pizza the size of a pie.

3. Pizza Hut's Sicilian crust. Pizza is already awesome, but the Sicilian style crust was good enough to make life tolerable.

4. Taco Bell's Santa Fe chalupa/gordita. By far the best chalupa/gordita style TB ever made.

5. www.firejoemorgan.com

6. The Mistubishi 3000 GT. I actually hope they don't bring it back, because the new version will look like crap and ruin the legacy of the old vehicle.

7. The HemisFair Arena. The most brightly lit arena in all the NBA. My Spurs have been freaking awesome since Tim Duncan came around, but I wish their old building was still around. I attended the third-to-last NBA game played in that building.

8. Gamebooks.

9. David Letterman in his NBC years. He's into his crusty self-parody years now, but his NBC show was some of the best TV you've ever seen.

10. Old-school TransFormers (1984-1987). The current ones are way too pointy (thanks, stupid live action movies!).

11. Pre-TPM Star Wars. Back then, the Special Edition was just that and the GFFA was a much, much bigger place filled primarily with fans of the finer points of SW, not just the pretty lightsabers and CGI antics.

12. Quizno's in my town. We used to have two, now we have zero. Sucks for me.

Commercials with a point.

Wendy's circa Dave Thomas years (or even better Where's the beef)

That's my childhood. Right there.

TUC with bacon. I tasted them once on a scout trip, but I was never able to find them again in any store. Ohhhhhhh they were so tasty, finally I had found a cracker that also tasted like bacon!

Do they still produce/sell them? Surely there must be some around :(

Totally with you on that one!  My brother and I used to joke that ET looked like an old dog poo when he turned white (at the end of the film when he was sick).  Apparently the white was something to do with them putting chalk (!) in dog food, and they no longer do.

Anyway... when I was a kid I loved smokey bacon flavour 'Thundercats' crisps.  

Is it me or are there alot of food products being mentioned

and on that note

Cherry Coke!

it was tested here (Ireland) for a couple of months, but ultimately didn't take off, I tried it once & was buying 1 bottle a day until it was taken off the shelves, when I was in the states back in 1999 I found that you could buy it absolutely EVERYWHERE so I spent every ¢ent I was given on the stuff,

The worst part is I recently found out that it is made 40 miles from where I live but there is an ingredient in it that prohibits sale in ireland so its all shipped over to the UK (could do with a smashing head against wall emoticon right about now!)

as for people 

Michael Jackson

Chris Reeve

how I miss them so!
