I tried the remade version a few years ago and they aren't the same as they were in, say, 1990. They used to come on a little yeasty roll with a thinner, less crunchy patty and better mayo.

I appreciate the thought, but that's for cocktails - the cinnamon spread I was talking about was spread on bread or other baked goods. edit:

titties posted:The Arch Deluxe was a good McDonald's burg that you could only get in like 1995. I had just got my driver's license and bought a beater car and i felt extremely grown up driving myself through the lane to pick up my premium hamburger sandwich I hated the Big N Tasty that those sons of whores replaced it with, on principle. Then, after having been made violently ill the last few times I’d eaten there, I quit McDonald’s altogether in 2001. Hollismason posted:It's absolute bullshit that Arby's got rid of its best products. I still can’t believe they replaced potato cakes with those goddamned crinkle fries. I was mad when Taco Bell axed the 7-Layer Burrito, but they sorta came correct with the Fiesta Veggie Burrito.

There was a local place between the subway stop & my apartment, and I would stop by on the way home to grab the absolute best fried catfish w/ mac & cheese I have ever had in my life. Then the owner murdered someone and the place is closed forever.  As for the more mainstream foods I miss... (btw, there's a whole other thread about this in gently caress You and Dine, did we forget?)     (the new ones are not the same, gently caress that poo poo)  Seriously, how is coffee chocolate chip ice cream a thing but coffee cookies & cream isn't? That confounds & infuriates me. Stuff I miss that I can't find decent pictures of: - Mistic raspberry boysenberry soda - Pepsi Twist - McDonald's chicken wraps - strawberry Jarritos - Five Alive  edit: Fuuuuuck, that reminded me of Butterfinger BBs

DamnCanadian posted:Blue Bell ice cream is still readily available (especially in the South), but they haven’t made Century Sundae in years. It was the best drat ice cream I’ve ever had.   I used to buy several gallons of this each June? July? whenever it was flavor of the month.The effervescence of that whipped topping ribbon that cut through the sugar is unmatched in anything in their line today, it's all nasty fake poo poo like Bride's cake and pumpkin gingerbread, lacks solid basics. rip century sundae.

Pepsi Twist was hands-down my favorite soft drink of all time, the perfect summer soda. It might still be available in other countries but the day it disappeared from store shelves around here will live in infamy. The Coke equivalent (which is also discontinued, I think?) was NOWHERE NEAR as good as Pepsi Twist. I probably told this story before but once upon a time my company was interviewing for a sales exec position and one of the guys that came through was a former Pepsi bigwig. During the interview I launched into minutes-long tirade about Pepsi Twist. He was not amused.

This was absolutely my favorite thing about KFC when I was a kid. KFC is such garbage now. I remember when you’d get whole corn on the cob wrapped in foil and that poo poo was so good and buttery. Then they switched to those half cobs because…? Now you get a small cup full of kernels Such a lovely cost-cutting thing to do.

That's unironically the best website I've seen in a long time, just absolutely thorough in providing info and resources on the topic. BAGS FLY AT NOON posted:This peanut butter was amazing. It was just slightly crunchy so it still spread like creamy without tearing your bread up. Everyone I knew loved it too. If you're near a Whole Foods, their self-service grinders turn out that same gritty consistency more or less.

Whole Foods near me had a sandwich called the Sledgehammer -pretzel bread -chipotle turkey -pepper jack -grilled red peppers -chipotle mayo -arugula They still kinda make it but with worse bread and post-Bezos WF is much worse in general for all sandwiches pre-made there The original Snapple Rain. New version isn't the same.

Paradise Bakery & Cafe. I think it still exists but nowhere near me. Was owned by Panera but was superior thanks to: a) their Southwest Chicken Caesar Salad (Panera has a similar thing now but it’s a pale imitation) b) continuing to have the Sierra Turkey Sandwich long after Panera discontinued it c) free cookie with your meal

I did once during the time that the Planters Cheez Balls weren't in production, and they all just absorbed the plastic smell from the container and therefore tasted like plastic. Threw them out after getting through half probably.

Harrigan's buffalo chicken salad. Harrigan's was a bar-and-grill restaurant chain through the Texlahoma area which went belly-up in the early 2000's. Their food was mostly okay to good, but that buffalo chicken salad was GODLIKE. Apparently the original is still open in Amarillo, but their online menu doesn't even show that salad anymore, so why bother.

Sir Kensington's discontinued their ketchup, now I need to find a new brand. Zapps Evil Eye chips are also impossible to find near me. As far as the foods of yesteryear are concerned, I used to go crazy for the Taco Bell chili-cheese burritos. Those and Hi-C Ecto Cooler.

I miss the Jack-in-the-Box bacon & cheddar potato wedges. They were always scorching hot, right out of the fryer and just slathered with cheese sauce and crumbled bacon - just about the most unhealthy thing you could eat. But tasty as gently caress, I’d indulge myself about once every six months. Now they’re gone and nobody else makes anything near as good.
