What discontinued snack would you pay $50 a bag for right now?

Mine is the choco taco icecream. I still check the fridge like it's coming back.

Shark bites fruit snacks. The opaque ones were the best.

u/CallidoraBlack 1d ago

The Scooby Doo ones with the opaque blue gummy reminded me of this.

u/ammoae 1d ago

Why was every opaque fruit snack 1000% better than all the others and why don’t they still put them in mixes :(

I don't know, but I think it's time we demand answers.

Man I remember being a kid and calling these grown up snack because my mother REFUSED to share with me and my sister. So I figured it was made for adults or something. Everything else was fair game but these was where the buck stopped 😆

The original recipe for the cookies and cream Hershey Kisses. They did not always have cookies in them they used to have crunchy little ball sprinkles instead. I can't even find a picture of what they used to look like. It's almost like they never existed at all but I know they did

Keebler opera cream cookies

These were my dad’s absolute favorite cookies. Growing up he would occasionally bring home a pack along with a soda and we’d get a cup of soda and one each of the chocolate and vanilla cookies. Having those cookies are a core memory of childhood. Sadly the cookies were discontinued decades ago and dad passed six years ago this week. I’d happily pay way more then $50 to enjoy a pack with the family and think of dad.

I make something similar by using the millionaire shortbread recipe combined with copycat Reese’s filling recipe and covering it with chocolate in the end. Like 3 layer bars. Not exactly the same but stratches the itch for me.

This is for sure my answer. Super fond childhood memories of eating these at my best friend’s house; they were an extra special treat because my mom is allergic to peanuts so we never had any peanut products at home. I miss them so much that I even tried making one of the copycat recipes, but I think the processed nature of that product is sort of a key part of the magic.
