What's a company that you think sh!t the bed discontinuing certain products?

You old enough to remember Hiland chips? Those were solid.

Hiland Potato Chips - The Chippiest Chips Around!

I'll throw another one out there, McDonalds had a great steak McMuffin breakfast sandwich they discontinued. Was going to put the McRib on this list as they supposedly had a farewell tour for it last year it sounds like it may be back in some markets in November for a limited time.

When the Covid thing hit they discontinued the Bacon Egg and Cheese Bagel. Last season, in Florida, I saw a billboard saying it was back! Stopped at a local McDonalds less than week later and they didn't have it.

Are you sure you can't find these at "Minnesota's Largest Candy Store" in Jordan, MN? I know for a fact they have candy cigarettes and bubble gum cigars. I'm not 100% sure on the bubble gum cigs...

This was a pretty good sandwich back in the days and the commercial was hilarious

A general one is Buffalo Wild Wings. When the store near us was new they were actually good wings, but after a few years the quality has been spiraling. Tastes like they went cheap on ingredients.

Brach's Malted Milk Balls.



Anyone suggesting Whoppers as a suitable alternative can go straight to H E double hockey Sticks.

I really liked this pizza for some reason. Jeez, how did Pizza Hut screw up so badly?

I remember seeing this commerical and really wanting it. My parents wouldn't get it for some reason. Was over at a friend's house and his mom got it. It sucked. I don't remember why, but I think I learned somethings about the truth in advertising.

It costs a lot of money to have a wide variety of products. While I hear you on some of these things, it doesn’t matter if a product is amazing or sucks - if it doesn’t meet sales goals it’s gonna get axed.

Shelf space in groceries is very expensive. Only the strong survive.

Not Caseys but still applies.

Some drink thoughts:

- Same with the Cedar Ridge Single Malt. By far my favorite of the Cedar Ridge offerings, but I don’t see it offered anywhere

You mean this?

These look amazing

I can't tell you how good they were. They're a 10 and Combos would be like a 2 and I don't mind some Combos.

 

[dahliaclone]

holy **** and these! we used to have boxes of them

 

[dahliaclone]

Krunchers chips.... omg I miss those.

Still make em. They sell them in Wisconsin. I just ordered some from Amazon actually.

 

[dahliaclone]

AND THESE. They came back recently and I got some and they're the bomb

That's one of the greatest commercials ever made.

Caffeine free soda ahead of its time

“I’ll have a Tab.”

”I can’t give you a tab, you haven’t ordered anything yet.”

”How about a Pepsi Free?”

”If you want a Pepsi you’re going to have to pay for it!”

Remember the Priazzo? Kind of a deep dish, but with a crust on top (I think)? That didn’t last too long.

Like some other folks, when I was growing up (and even into college in the 80s) Pizza Hut was a special treat. The one in Ottumwa was really old, I remember it had that neon sign of the Italian pizza maker flipping the crust, and at night the neon lights would make the crust fly up and down. Today, it’s cheap pizza for lazy people, and most places you can’t even sit down and eat in any more. Even their no-longer-excellent pizza was okay for the now-gone lunch buffet …

That Pizza Hut in Ottumwa would have been owned by Ivan Teinson, not sure on the spelling. He started with Pizza Hut when they first opened up their franchises and his territory was Southern Iowa and Northern Missouri, at one time he owned all the Pizza Huts around Ottumwa, Fairfield, Kirksville he had around 15 or so total if I remember correctly. Also owned the Mexican place in the North part of Ottumwa and the Steak place beside it. Built his corporate offices out by the city golf course north of Ottumwa. Guys was worth 10's of millions off selling pizza.
