Quite a few: Personal Restaurant called Pounders in my home town. Mongolian stir fry owned by an old white couple. Had a huge buffet of raw ingredients, you'd fill a bowl, they'd fry it all up for you. Couple things set it apart: Their peanut sauce...I don't know if it was just the "hom" that you hear about from old woks, but it has this weird-rear end smoky, gritty flavour that I've never experienced before or since with a peanut sauce, or any sauce. They'd weigh your raw order to charge you, and if it was exactly 1 lb, 2 lb etc I think you'd eat for free? Or maybe you got a free dessert, anyway, it was good fun & I never won. They sponsored a bunch of kids sports teams, and the walls of the restaurant were completely covered with photos of teams of people dining there. Not an inch without a photo. Brands Vanilla Coke is definitely up there for me.  Certs Cool Mint Drops...a small but significant portion of my highschool personality was made up of these mints 😆 I would constantly have multiple boxes on me, and when my friends saw me in the hall they'd always ask "MourningDue, mint?". It felt really good to have "a thing" 😆😆😆  Hidden Treasures cereal. Never tasted anything like them before or since. Perfect crunch, wonderful sweetness. And I do remember the different hidden flavours really tasting like the fruit they were supposed to. Literally any pop that isn't full-fat coke. Whatever they're trying to do with sweeteners, it just isn't working. I used to buy an assortment of different pops depending on my mood, the weather, etc. Now I just check the cans and if I don't see sugar (which is most times), then I'm not buying it. Biggest loss for me is I think Sprite, used to love it but now it tastes like lovely water. I'm not even really a pop guy, and I know it's awful for me, but let me have it as a treat the way it was. I used to love KFC, especially the two freak versions, Extra Tasty Crispy and Tender Roast. Everyone I knew at the time said Tender Roast was gross & supermarket rotisserie chicken was better, but I liked how it tasted, kind of like they'd been coated in chicken stock powder before roasting.

Freakies cereal. Sort of like a smaller, cinnamon-ier Cap'n Crunch. They tried to bring them back briefly but they just weren't the same.

Anyone posted these bad boys? From the UK, better when they were in the paper bags and then moved to foil, think they disappeared forever during covid. So loving strong, I remember being high and having a few bags and barely being able to breathe I had so much mustard smell in my nose.

There was a local pizza place called 4 sisters, it was next to a gas station / convenience store. They had great pizza, and if you got delivery they offered to also get stuff from the store like soda or beer. I think they got in trouble for selling the beer, because both places folded after a year. Great pizza.

It may still exist and we just don't remember the restaurant name, but my immediate family has a very distinct collective memory of a trip we took together to DC when I was a kid where we went to a hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant and had the best salted fish fried rice we'd had up to that point. We kept going back during that trip. My parents' tastes have evolved a lot since then - my dad's career took off and they've become big foodies - but we still talk about that rice sometimes. I don't have a lot of good memories of my youth but that one's fine.

There’s a famous chef who started off in hole in the wall restaurants in that area and had to keep hopping restaurants because of his immigration status. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Chang_(chef)

My family was lucky enough to be near one of his early restaurants for a year and it was a huge influence on me and my brother becoming obsessed with food. Chongqing Chicken, Crispy Beef, and especially the Hot and Numbing Beef Roll (tortilla around beef in chili oil/Szechuan oil with shredded cabbage, served cold)

I read everyone's posts and no one said KFC twister wrap Mcdonald's flatbread sandwich Mcdonald's salad shaker And something that hopefully might come back some day: Mcdonald's snack wraps. Even those burger snack wraps were so good.

 I don't give two shits about the oatmeal but I would gladly be three years old and guzzling down a ketchup packet full of that strawberry stuff again.  Also, Domino's twisty bread. gently caress whomever's idea it was to 86 those bad boys.

big beef tacos, just a hardshell but bigger volcano tacos/nachos Shakey's, in general TMNT cereal, sometimes I get flavor flashbacks of that still the beef egg rolls from a Chinese place near me that shut down I can't seem to find Melinda's sticky asian wing sauce anymore, I hope that's only temporary the saddest option: cooking from people who are now dead the strawberry swirl hard candy: you can get something similar at dollar tree.

There was a specific brand of old fashioned sour cream doughnuts at 7-11 that were just amazing but then got replaced by whoever does their in house stuff in the glass case. Nowhere near as good, and you got a dozen of em in a nice plastic case.

Oh lord god almighty, I haven't thought about those for like 30 years. I feel like there was a fad for breakfast foods where you squeezed gunk out of a little plastic bag and toaster strudels survived and these things went to Brand Extension Valhalla.

Grand Forks North Dakota dive bar, Parrot's Cay, makes the best wings I've ever had. I don't know if that's some rose tinted glasses from my college days but absolutely every wing I've had since is chasing the dragon. I lived in Leiden in the Netherlands and used to drink coffee at this bakery called Snijers. One day one of the guys running the place was like do you want this special caramel muffin? I was like gently caress yeah I'll have a caramel muffin. This was the best muffin I've ever eaten. It was incredible. When I went back to this bakery I asked the waiter, a different person, for the caramel muffin and they were very confused. Didn't know what it was, completely sure they didn't have and don't make them. On a later visit I saw the original waiter who offered me that cursed muffin. He too claimed he didn't know what it was and told me they didn't make them. No muffin ever comes close to it. I would like a plate of the wings and the caramel muffin please

I first saw them maybe 10 years ago? Like cinnamon toast crunch but blueberry flavored. Told my gf about how tasty they were recently and found out theyre discontinued. Says back by popular demand but I haven't seen em. edit: looks like walmart might have em!!
