Walnettos chewy wrapped candy. Basically a caramel with chopped walnuts. Used to be referenced on
Laugh In. I could find them for a while online, but they disappeared nearly 10 years ago.
Packages with three varieties of lunchmeat like bologna, old fashioned loaf and one other. I can find all
three types separately sometimes, but three packages of lunchmeat for just me guarantees that a lot
will spoil before I can eat it.
Prime Selection Peppercorn BBQ sauce. Not long ago. I bought one bottle and never found it again.
Recent.
Simple type of Fruit-on-the-Bottom Yogurt. It is a daunting task to try to choose from the giant
array display of yogurt, and I can't seem to find my favorite any more from any brand.
Frusen Gladje brand ice cream. Specifically Chocolate Ice Cream with chocolate covered almonds.
Late 80's.
Sun Chips - Black Bean flavor. Found once in a grocery store but never again. I could get snack size
from Amazon. Recent.
Wendy's in the late 70's had a delicious apple dumpling. Served with a small amount of milk.
Taco Bell Salads and bean tostados. There is a rumor that tostados might return for a short amount
of time.
My grandmother's epic meals. My mother's meatloaf, chili and of course her family-famous cookies,
especially around Christmas.
That is a long list. The sad thing is that I will probably think of more throughout the day.

Original Shake n Bake BBQ. They fucked with the original. Don't get me started on tuna and 11.2 ounce beers.

Enchiritos from Taco Bell. Loved them. They rarely have them as a special one-time thing.

Yes. I'm still recovering from the shock of them gone. Maybe some big shot from Taco Bell is online, sees these

You can find it in Asian grocery stores here in San Francisco. Try some in your area.
