Heyday bars. Wafers covered with caramel, chocolate and chopped peanuts. Could eat a bag in one sitting as a kid.
What's a company that you think sh!t the bed discontinuing certain products?

So true. And i do remember the bags were dense with the heavy chips, but small...so easy to crush. So good.
These were amazing. The net seems to be almost scrubbed and cleared of it's existence.
So good they were goddam dangerous.

Used to love the two pack. I didn't realize they were gone..but a few years ago went way out of my way on a trip to get them and was so disappointed they were no longer made.
The million degree cherry pies from McDonald's we way better than what they have now.

Pizza Hut should split into two chains. One that has current disgusting but cheap delivery/takeout monstrosities, and one that has their 80s actual good pizza for sit down and takeout at a higher price.
My wife makes fun of me, but back in the day a trip to the Hut was big time
I don't know why the changed things so much. We got it the other night and ordered Pan crust and the difference between what we got and what they USED to make years ago is staggering. The pan crust these days is...not even that thick and/or buttery.
I worked at the Hut for four years during high school and part of college. It's a shame what has happened to that place. We used to fresh cut veggies, make our own dough and even mix our own sauce daily. Now everything is canned and frozen.
Brinkmann used to offer LED spike lights, six lights in a set, plug-in, not useless crap solar. Used for illuminating landscape, trees, exterior of home, etc. Walmart carried them. Cheap, great product. Then like 10 years ago they stopped offering them. People liked them so much they'd subsequently pay through the nose for sets on ebay. Now, they are rarely available on ebay. They walked away from profit.
I'm pretty sure the pizza sold in Jack Trice is Brew Pub. It's also all over grocery stores in the metro
Speaking of Pizza Hut they made this delish option in the late 90s and it was incredible
They dumped them from their portfolio of snacks because it didn't fit they healthier push they were doing. I'm sure they got reformulated to not be as bad, but they are still close enough that I'm satisfied on the occasions I do purchase them.
Schwann's Peanut Butter Fudge Ripple ice cream. Unlike most weak comps, it was a peanut butter ice cream that fudge ripple swirls throughout. It is, by far, the best ice cream I ever had. It was introduced in the early to mid 90s then, very abruptly, it was discontinued around 98 or 99. Schwann's had some salmonella outbreaks and I always wondered if that was the reason it got the axe as the ice cream was routinely sold out by the end of the route.
I still have dreams about the stuff and would easily drop 30 bucks for a gallon of the stuff if it became available.
A very sad day in my life (when told it was discontinued).

On the note of being reformulated I'm pretty sure Better Cheddars suffered the same fate. Was by far the best cheese/cracker snack as a kids but now they are more "flakey", less cheesy, and less crisp.
Man, the old Pizza Hut pan pizza was absolute fire and so were the cheese sticks.
I think the healthcare (aka sickcare) business sh*t the bed by not pushing, and even discouraging, use of CT scans to produce CACS - coronary artery calcium score. Fast, simple, cheap, reliable way to find out if you have coronary artery disease, and how acute a case. The scan measures/detects calcified arterial plaques, and radiologist turns that into a numeric score. The more calcium in your arteries/walls, the higher the score. Zero score is what you want.
I mentioned it to a friend who'd been having some issues, he got the test, 1200s score, went right in for bypass - may have saved his life. His doc didn't recommend the CACS, I did. Treadmill stress tests, echos - meh. Cut out the guesswork and get a scan and CACS score. Pay cash if your doc won't write it up. Same radiation as a mammogram.
