I want to eat a dodo bird!
On a more serious note, I miss the Snapple Elements drinks.
And these Pop-tarts.

Water but with stuff floating in it?? They look like lava lamps! I would just have one to look at
I tried a pop tart once and I was really excited for it, but I was slightly disappointed (maybe I over toasted it?) - they're so sweet! Like reeeeally really sweet. I think it was a chocolate one, but I couldn't taste chocolate, just sugar :/ Maybe I should try another flavour

I used to toast the frosted strawberry ones and put butter(I know, butter, typical American putting butter on everything) on them
Doritos used to have a fiery habanero flavor that I loved

Belga chewing gum. It's not being made anymore. They came in a lot of different colors and flavors. The black one was my favorite. It's so ancient I couldn't even find a pic. Two and a half cent a piece they were back then.

I misread that as badger chewing gum, and that is not a nice thought.
I miss chewing gum that was freely available without artificial sweeteners in. Now it's really difficult to find. There was a nice one that came in strips rather than these weird pellet things... might have been Wrigley's.
I remember two brilliant foods coming out when two films came out. The first, obviously, was Harry Potter, with Bertie Bott's Every Flavoured Beans and chocolate frogs available in supermarkets (at reasonable prices, rather than the WB prices), and Wonka bars. I know there's some kind of Wonka sweet out now, but it's nothing compared to the Whipple-Scrumptious Fudgemallow Delight.

For me it's crisps (potato chips)
When I was a kid all the supermarket chains used to do multipacks with Beef & Onion Flavor, Spring Onion, and Prawn Cocktail as well as the standard, Salted, Salt & Vinegar and Cheese & Onion
Sometime in my teens they stopped, and only continued the standard one, along with larger muti packs which have the standard flavor plus some combination of either Prawn Cocktail, Bacon, Chicken and some kind of beef flavor
My absolute favorite was Spring Onion flavour, and I can't find them at all now from any brand, also it's only Walkers and Lidl who do Beef and onion, Walkers tastes nothing like beef, and the Lidl ones are too oniony
Also Hula Hoops used to do a Chicken Tikka flavor, they were awesome but only around for a few years
Christmas Chocolates piss me off too. I like to get a Tin (or plastic tub as they are these days) of something like Quality Street. When I was a kid we had 2.6kg Tins, and what the arsehoes have done, instead of increasing the price over the years, is keep the same price but make the tins/tubs smaller, a few years back we were down to 1.1kg, Last year is was 800 grams, and this year 780g
I dont even have an old tin that I can use to buy 3 of them and throw in one container, it's annoying because having a massive tin of sweets is part of chrismtmas tradition, not some poxy little imposter
The pic is all I could find on google images and the smallest one there looks like the 1kg from 3-4 years ago, the current ones are even smaller

The current ones are 780g incl. wrappers, apparently. 756g without. It also annoys me that they come in these crappy plastic pots now, rather than the tins.

On a slightly related note, it makes me sad that you don't get galaxy truffles in celebrations anymore.

Ok, so I can't post a picture because I can't find them anywhere. The internet is full of a few people saying they remembered the existence and most people saying we're all crazy or lying. When I was in middle school, we got our hands on Oreo cookies with pop rocks. It was the weirdest combination but ridiculously addicting! I hated Oreo and I didn't care for pop rocks either, but this combination was orgasmic. My friends and I went through three packages in a single day!

Still can't find an archived picture even knowing that they were apparently Mothers Brand cookies called Fireworks. Either way, they were a damn good oreo-like cookie!
