Styledash is having an interesting conversation about their favorite discontinued items, which made me think of some of my favorites. Diet Vanilla Coke, how I miss you. Vanilla Coke Zero is good, but not the same. I also miss the heck out of Wendy's Garden Wraps from about 10 years ago. That was by far the best vegetarian fast food option I've ever had. Is there a petition somewhere I can sign to get those brought back?
Some of the folks on that blog were able to suggest places that sell retro and hard-to-find items to others who were missing specific things so I thought maybe I'd bring it up over here too and see if anyone has anything they miss or suggestions on where they might be able to find them.

1. It isn't exactly discontinued, but I miss the Reeses "Big Cup", which was essentially just a single giant peanut butter cup. Can't find the damn things anywhere. Which leads into my general frustration: every couple weeks there are eight new kinds of candy bars. Yet, should I or anyone else actually like a new candy bar, it will be discontinued and replaced by another new candy bar within a week or two.
Also, I miss $2 packs of cigarettes.

2. I think you can still get Reece's Big Cups at specialty candy stores or online at places like candy4u. $2 cigarettes though? Can't help ya.

3. You can still get candy cigarettes for $2 a pack :)
As long as we're starting off with candy, what about the full-sized Krackle bar? You can always get the miniatures in the variety pack, but I don't think I've seen the regular-sized bar in grocery or convenience stores in quite some time.

4. Hum. Full-sized Krackel ... that is a hard one. I think I've seen them at Cold Stone Creameries as a mix-in so they must exist, but I don't think I've seen them for sale alone.
