Name a consumer product you liked that doesn't exist anymore.

[SmileyBoy]

Gatorade in a glass bottle.:9

OK, you next.

[KitchenWitch]

1. Coca Cola in the glass bottle

Rely Tampons (sorry)

[derby378]

32. We still have Coca-Cola in glass bottles here in Texas

The bottles come in from a plant in Mexico. And it gets even better - these Cokes have no corn syrup. It's all sugar.

[swag]

44. Yeah, I can get 'em at Tiendas and also at some corner stores around here

They should be available to all.

The Coke just tastes better.

[u4ic]

2. Juicy Fruit...the one with sugar

NuLife homeopathic allergy granule pills - yep, my worst allergy season in ages, and they have to stop manufacturing them. :grr:

Nothing works better than those suckers. :-(

edit: one more, Biotherm Hydrothermal Suractivee. Best face cream I'd ever used.

[Oeditpus Rex]

3. High-octane gasoline

I'm talkin' 96, 97, 98.

It still exists, I hear. But not in Kollyforniya.

[Solon]

4. Are you serious?

My car requires 96 octane, minimum, to run smoothly, otherwise bad things happen, at least it did when I put regular in my car for the first few months I had it. Its not even what you would call an expensive sports car, its an 89 Celica Convertible, 5 speed. Even with the expensive gasoline, this car is efficient, about 35 mpg on average, with city driving.

[Oeditpus Rex]

8. It *requires* 96 octane?

Do you know the engine specs? I'd like to know the compression ratio.

The highest-octane pump gas you can get in Kollyforniya is 92. Someone told me once there's a few places you can get 94, but I've never seen one.

[Solon]

10. Premium at minimum...

I know, the car kept on dying for a while, wouldn't accellerate, etc. So I asked my uncle, and he said that the car requires premium gasoline to run smoothly. It might be lower, like around 93 octane is probably the absolute minimum to run it smoothly, anytime I put in cheaper gas, I run into problems, they actually mention it in the freakin' user's manual. Next time I get a car, remind me to actually read that damned thing for anything other than looking at the fuse diagram. :)

[Oeditpus Rex]

11. Okay, now I see why

It has the DOHC 16-valve 2-litre engine with a 10:1 compression ratio.

http://www.carfolio.com/specifications/models/car/?car=16060&Toyota-quote

Feed that beast, dude. :thumbsup:

[Solon]

12. You know what I love about that car?

Smoking Mustangs, that's what, especially the models from the 90s, man, those people think that just because my car has a four banger in it that it has no power. I love beating the shit out of those punks. :)

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. I don't doubt it

Says here it'll hit 60 in 7.6 seconds. My almost-stock 350 does it in around 9.

[Solon]

15. Plus it can sustain a speed of 90 with...

varied grades of roadway on rural highways. Don't ask what my average speed was, but I ran from St. Louis, Missouri, to Springfield, MO in about 2 and a half hours. Yeah, I'm a little bit of a lead foot, but I made that run to visit a friend, was running late. On the way back home, 2 days later, I was able to go over 30 miles back home with the fuel light on, running on fumes and coasting "gravity assisted" as much as possible, I was low on cash at the time, won't do that ever again, but I made it home!

[AllegroRondo]

18. St Louis to Springfield in 2.5 hours?

DAYAMMM!

Thats normally a 4 hour + trip! And I usually drive the speed limit (70). Nice work!

[GOPisEvil]

82. There is a place in SoCal that sells REALLY high octane stuff.

http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m5072/is_36_24/ai_91661702

You can buy octane additives...but I'm sure they're hell on the environment.

[Oeditpus Rex]

95. Sweet!

Found some photos of it.

[mwooldri]

154. They still sell it here in NC. But it's bloody expensive !

Along with other higher octane fuels. (100+!) I guess that's one of the benefits of living in Nascar country. Shame about the politics though.

[lildreamer316]

157. ATTN. EVERYONE ON THIS THREAD PLEASE:

Sorry about the yelling.
Try this place out and see if they have some of the things you're missing...

[Celeborn Skywalker]

5. Surge soda

Simply the best soft drink ever invented.

[SmileyBoy]

6. Vault is a pretty good replacement.

It's refreshing, unlike Surge.

[Celeborn Skywalker]

9. I'll have to try that.

I was a confirmed Surge addict.

[Archae]

7. Tube radios.

I loved them!

[Oeditpus Rex]

14. Dude!

And amps. :thumbsup:
Nothin' like the sound of a tube amplifier. :toast:

[Archae]

17. And they are so easy to repair.

Have to be a damn computer genius to fix today's radios, or just throw them away.

[Squatch]

46. Tubedepot.com

my brother-in-law has about 10 grand in his personal audio system that uses nothing but vacuum tubes.

16. Lawn darts.

[Richardo]

24. Jinx!

My first thought was 'Lawn Darts' :thumbsup: :hi: :pals:

[Bunny]

25. You owe me a coke!

:pals:

[bleedingheart]

50. I concur! Bring back Lawn Darts!!!

[SpeedwayDemocrat]

55. Always fun, until someone puts an eye out...

Another fun childhood product, killed by the lawyers...

[patcox2]

64. The Lawn Dart Song, its about lawn dart angst

It goes

"A kid got pegged in the head with a lawn dart
so now they're off the shelves of the KMart
pegged in the head with a lawn dart
her dad didn't see her, thats the worst part"

and on and on.

[leftyladyfrommo]

19. Black Jack gum n/t

[no name no slogan]

22. You can still get Black Jack but it's hard to find

they had it in the vending machines at the building I previously worked. I haven't seen it since, though.

[leftyladyfrommo]

23. Remember the other one? the Clove gum?

[Midlodemocrat]

45. You can get it at Cracker Barrel. I love that gum.

[sakabatou]

53. Is that the caffinated gum? Or the one that turns your mouth black?

[leftyladyfrommo]

108. I think Black Jack is the one that turns your mouth black.

Clove just has a real strong clove taste and will make your tongue numb.

[sakabatou]

123. Black Black Gum is the caffinated one...

[Ohio Joe]

20. Wooden Lincoln Logs

When my sister had her first child I was suprised to find they don't make them from wood anymore and the plastic ones are just not the same.

[bleedingheart]

48. they still make em out of wood...

there are cheap knockoffs...but I just bought some for a friend's child...

[philosophie_en_rose]

21. Soda and Candy with Real Sugar.

Corn syrup just does not taste the same. Japanese candy is far superior than domestic crap, primarily because of the use of real sugar.

[patcox2]

35. Buy Mexican Coke. Sold in mexican shops everywhere.

They import it from Mexico, where its still made with sugar, and sell it for like $2 a bottle, but its gooooood stuff.

[philosophie_en_rose]

37. Mexican Coke? That sounds wrong.

:evilgrin:

But if it's got real sugar, hell if I'll say no. I'll have to check it out.

[GOPisEvil]

83. Either the Mexican Coke, or kosher coke.

Kosher soft drinks are made from real sugar as well.

[Danmel]

86. If you live anywhere with a Jewish population

Buy Coke that is marked Kosher for Passover around the holiday- corn is not Kosher for Passover, so sodas that are Kosher for Passover are made with real sugar- useful for those with corn allergies to know too

[wildhorses]

26. albums

[LizW]

102. And album covers.

Sigh. Why, when the boomers are getting too nearsighted to read small print, do we have to read tiny CD inserts? Album covers were the best.

[Gatchaman]

27. Jeno's Pizza Snack Trays

15 little frozen bite-sized pizzas. Loved them when I was a kid, but they probably tasted more like cardboard than pizza. Still, I'd pay a lot to have a sheet of them again.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

34. similarly: Frozen english muffin pizza topping

Great 2 AM stack back in the 80's

[LaraMN]

28. Clarion lipstick in Sherryplum silk.

Jane lipstick in Haywire.

[Patiod]

39. OPI "Affair in Times Square" nail polish

When I found it was discontinued, I went on ebay and bought a few bottles - an amazing purpley Mauve

Also ESSI "Grahamy Cracker" - a pinkier mauve.

I actually wrote to both companies!

I HATE when you find a perfect color, and they discontinue it!

[GalleryGod]

41. This one's for you, and you ALONE Patti!

[1gobluedem]

30. Terpin-hydrate cold/cough medicine

The only thing that ever worked for me. Unfortunately, soon after I discovered it, it was classified as a narcotic and taken off the over-the-counter market.

I admit, taking it was like taking a shot of vodka but it worked.

[Digit]

31. I cannot BELIEVE I was thinking the same thing!

Did you know there was also a NON-Narcotic Terpin-Hydrate?

It was cheap, too! As the pharmacist explained to me, it could not be patented, so the pharmaceutical companies were not interested in offering it.

It was the only thing which worked for me when I would get bronchitis.

[1gobluedem]

51. Wow

You're the first person I've met who even heard of the stuff! And, no, I didn't know there was a non-narcotic version; now I'm really bummed.

[Patiod]

38. the old version of Alka Seltzer Cold which actually WORKED

I asked a flight attendent for some water to take it, and she laughed and said all the flight attendents took it, because it worked so well at clearing up nose and ears, and made flying with a cold a lot easier.

[patcox2]

63. I took a cold-cough medicine in Italy that was amazing

Is it possible that it was this? Worked like nothing else before or since. It was also cool because it came in the form of an alka-seltzer fizzing tablet.

[Deja Q]

33. Commodore Amiga 3000...

Or was it the 4000T?

Oh well!

:D

[swimboy]

36. Noxzema Shaving Cream

Also Gillette Shaving Lotion
Also Kiss My Face Shaving Lotion in plastic tube


Is there a pattern here? Maybe I should buy a gross of what I currently use. :shrug:



I also miss Butternut candy bars. :cry:

[StellaBlue]

84. They have it in the UK

Or did last June when I left; I used to buy it!


Noxzema Shaving Cream, I mean.

[Aristus]

144. I miss Gillette Foamy with menthol. That was my first shaving

cream. And still the best I've ever used. I haven't been able to find it for years! Now I know why; they discontinued it!

[StaggerLee]

40. Colgate tooth powder

I purchased a couple of bottles of the stuff back in 1991 or 1992 in Portland Oregon. I haven't seen it since. Way better than toothpaste IMHO.

Does anyone know if they still make it?

(From what I understand tooth powder was around before toothpaste was invented, and then I guess it fell off later)

[Tikki]

42. Max Factor...pancake makeup....

apparently it is gone or on it's way out....





Tikki

[Carla in Ca]

141. I second that one

MF has always had wonderful products. My mom used it, too. I have noticed in the last few years MF products are shoved into the corner to make way for others more popular. Oh well.
He was the pioneer of beauty, but sadly forgotten.

History of Max Factor - Inventor of Max Factor Makeup



Max Factor created a makeup specifically for movie-actors that would not crack.
Born Max Faktor in Lodz, Poland during the 1870s, Max Factor became the father of modern makeup. With 10 children, the Factor parents could not afford formal education for their children, so at the age of eight Max was placed in apprenticeship to a dentist-pharmacist.

Years of mixing potions instilled in him a fascination with the human form. Factor opened his own shop in a suburb of Moscow, selling hand-made rouges, creams, fragrances, and wigs. A traveling theatrical troupe wore Max Factor’s makeup while performing for Russian nobility, and the door to fame and fortune opened wide. The Russian nobility appointed Max Factor as the official cosmetic expert for the royal family and the Imperial Russian Grand Opera.

In 1904, Max Factor and his family came to America. He had a fresh start in St.
Louis at the 1904 World’s Fair, selling his rouges and creams, and operating under the name given to him at Ellis Island, Max Factor. But he had stars in his eyes. Factor envisioned movie actors and actresses needing make-up and wigs. He moved his family to Los Angeles in 1908.
In 1914, Max Factor created a makeup specifically for movie-actors that, unlike theatrical makeup, would not crack or cake. Soon movie stars were filing through Max Factor’s makeup studio, eager to sample the "flexible greasepaint" while producers sought Factor’s human hair wigs. He allowed the wigs to be rented to the producers of old westerns on the condition that his sons were given parts as extras. The boys would keep an eye on the expensive wigs.

Max Factor introduced cosmetics to the public in the 1920s, insisting that every girl could look like a movie star by using Max Factor Makeup.

That was my favorite candy bar.

49. Qwisp Cereal and Abazaba bars

[faithnotgreed]

76. im right there with you on the quisp - what are abazaba bars

i grew up in ny and definitely had some great cereals and all around junk food but i claim ignorance on abazaba

even with that i must say you have some good taste taverner

[Danmel]

88. You can buy Quisp on line

www.quisp.com

I bought my husband a box and a Quisp T-shirt for his birthday! He loved it!

[noonwitch]

52. The original Fisher-Price little people

You know, the ones that could choke a small child? My mom has all my sister's old FP toys-the Village, the airport, the garage, the house, etc. The new stuff just isn't the same.

I also miss vinyl-coverd cardboard things, like Barbie cases and my old Barbie camper. They had a smell to them that I liked, and all that 70's artwork on them.

Dawn Dolls-anyone remember them? They were like little Barbies.

I don't miss metal tonka trucks. I got slammed in the face with one when I was about 2 (by another kid, not my parents). I've had nosebleeds ever since. It's a good thing probably that they make them out of plastic now.

[SpeedwayDemocrat]

56. Dawn Dolls were cool!

I had the Dawn Doll Beauty Pageant, complete with stage and doll run-way. Wish I had kept it for my niece, as it would be worth some money today...

[Liberalynn]

131. I had Dawn dolls too

and Dancerina remember her? One of her arms kept falling off though. My Mom even took it back to the store got a replacement, and it did the same thing.
:rofl:

Also does any one remember the Kim Aldridge books? Sort of a rip off, of Nancy Drew but I loved both Kim and Nancy.

[fishwax]

109. those were great

My brother and I had a huge collection as kids :thumbsup:

[Maestro]

113. I used to play with those all the time in the 70's.

Loved them!

[RumpusCat]

121. Got a metal Tonka Truck dropped on my head

From the second story when I was about 12. >_< I was fighting with my little brother and stormed off down the stairs. He shoved it thru the railing and it landed smack on me! Ain't been right since....

Little People were one of my favorite childhood toys. :D

59. Koogle chocolate peanut butter!

And Fizzies! :9

Found an ORGANIC version of Koogle at Trader Joe's of all places!

[Aristus]

147. Cool! I've GOT to check out Trader Joe's!

Koogle was a part of my childhood for a very brief period; maybe a year, at most, before it disappeared from the supermarket shelves and I never saw it again. I used to love that stuff! Flavored peanut butters! Chocolate, vanilla, and other flavors I can't remember. And it was as smooth and creamy as cake frosting. Probably terrible for you, but yummy! :9

[AllieB]

60. Twinsies

Two small, delectable whoopie pies in cellophane wrapper. They weren't full of preservatives because they went bad in a few days. They were very chocolately and very delish!

[Babette]

61. Bar None candy bars....

Bonkers fruit chews in grape flavor.

And really cheesy, I know, but "Gee your hair smells terrific" shampoo.

Regionally, I picked up a bar of donkey's milk soap in Texas a few years ago. We used it and loved it!!! Have not been able to find a distributor here or online.

[NickB79]

159. YESSS!!!!! That's what they were called!

Bar-None has been on the tip of my tongue for weeks now, trying to figure out what those were called. I loved those things as a child.

[Left Is Write]

62. Nilla Crunch.

Hasn't been around for years.

Of course, I don't really like sweet cereal anymore, so maybe I wouldn't like it after all these years.

73. Vidal Sassoon Emmulsion Cream.

That stuff used to pull out ALL your skin's imperfections. It saved me from my early teenage years.

[Initech]

75. Truly spicy foods at American restaraunts

It pisses me off when I see places like TGI Fridays, Olive Garden, and Applebee's advertise spicy foods on their menu. Their base is lame white people. They dont have anything spicy on their menus at all, despite the fact that they claim to.

[RevCheesehead]

77. Space food sticks.

Why did they keep Tang, and get rid of space food sticks? :banghead:

[ContraBass Black]

116. I think they're still available as novelties.

[blondeatlast]

78. Cyclamates; I know I'll start flames, but I've been on insulin since age 7

and that was the best tasting sugar substitute by far.

When you are faced with a chronic ailment you make choices. I'd take cyclamates any day, although NutraSweet is pretty damn good as well.

Sorry for those who hate the stuff, but the benefits of both outweigh the risks for me.

96. Original formula Tang

They changed it at some point, and I'm not listening to any bullshit that says they didn't.

Also, Burger Chef. That was as good as Burger King at one time.

[Pithlet]

134. I remember Burger Chef.

I was a kid when they were around, and they had the coolest kids meals that came in plastic race car boxes.

[Jean Louise Finch]

97. Chiquita Orange and Banana Juice

Not the one that you can get now that has something else in it, too. That's gross.

[6000eliot]

98. Libby's Fruit Float

I used to love it back in the early '70s. It was a can of fruit gunk that you mixed with milk to make a tasty fruit pudding.

[Danmel]

99. I loved Fruit Float!

I thought I was the only person who remembered it!

That and Jello 1-2-3, which would form into three layers- a jello layer , a fluffy layer and a topping layer- it was great!

[6000eliot]

but I remember it as delicious.

103. Jello 1-2-3

You made it like jello, but whipped it with a mixer. Then, while it chilled, it separated into three layers. The top was frothy and light, the middle (my favorite) was creamy, and the bottom was regular jello. Yum.

106. Wacky Wafers and Do-Nuts cereal

No shit, there really WAS a Do-Nuts cereal back in the 80s and it was killer, let me tell ya.

Wacky Wafers were my second favorite candy of all time (next to, of course, Sno-Caps), WHY did those sons of bitches take them off the market?

[Pithlet]

135. I remember Do-Nuts cereal.

It was good :)

[Beware the Beast Man]

107. Nescafe Chocolate Macadamia Nut Gourmet Coffee.

It was a K-Mart exclusive, but when they filed Chapter 11 a few years ago, Nescafe discontinued the product. It was by far the best flavored coffee I have ever had, and I'm usually not partial to flavored coffee.

[NewJeffCT]

110. Tavist-D antihistimine

It always worked for me to clear my stuffy nose, but was taken off the shelves because it was a potential health risk for older women, though I'm not a woman, and am not that old yet. Nothing has worked well for me since - not even powerful prescriptions.

[baldguy]

111. Snapple soda

Crystal Cola, Jamaican Ginger Beer & a dozen other all-natural flavorful carbonated beverages.

112. Liquid Brown Sugar

115. Root beer kool aid; Bosco; Lickamaid

:cry:

[Ryano42]

119. I saw Lickamaid at specialty candy stores!!!

:woohoo:

[RedCloud]

166. Well that's great news!

There was a factory near where I grew up and we used to go over there as kids with such begging faces and they would give us some! Also worked at the Coca-Cola bottling company.

Best of all was the box company where I could make my own "toys" out of them!

Now if I ask for Lickamaid I usually get:

A)bopped
or
B)directed to the nearest adult establishment.
:blush:

[pointblank]

117. Basic Lego Castle systems

I was a HUGE fan of these when I was a kd in the 80's.

They were just simple names like the "Kings Castle" and the "Black Knights Fortress" and you could buy packs of soldiers and horses and wagons and shit and create huge armies....They were GENERIC, and thats what I liked about them.

Nowadays, you can still get legos like that, but they are all based on a movie like "Harry Potter" or "Lord of the Rings" ..... BAHHHHHHH! :puke:

Why cant they just make normal toys anymore...even GI-JOe. Now they are all "EXTREME" or crap like that.

edited to add:

[RumpusCat]

125. I have every single one of the Lego Castles

Even the Forestmen and the Bandits. They're all still carefully set up in my parents' basement and my nephews get to play with them altho' they can't keep 'em! Those will be for my kids someday. And yeah, they kick butt compared to the HP/Star Wars/marketing-crap Legos now. Whatever happened to imagination? I feel like an old curmudgeon now!

Feh!

136. Ben and Jerrys Dastardly Mash.

It tasted like a Chunky candy bar.

I still write letters requesting they bring it back.

[Ron Green]

137. Lawn Darts.

Where's our sense of adventure?

[Throd]

138. Olde English 800 in the 64oz jug.

[smirkymonkey]

139. Today Sponge

[Arugula Latte]

140. Spoon Candy.

You mixed up a pudding-like dessert and then poured chocolate over it which hardened into a shell. It was, I'm sure, loaded with unsavory chemicals but my sister and I loved it!

142. Anyone remember Orbit cookies? They go WAY back, I think...

:thumbsup: Nabisco made 'em.

[Blue Belle]

145. Hansens Natural Cola...

I can find Hansens Rootbeer and Ginger Ale, etc.... but NEVER the cola. It was the best.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

160. They still make it.

If the store can get the rootbeer & ginger ale from their distributor (probably United Natural Foods or Tree of Life), then they can get you the Hansen's cola. Ask if they can order you a case of it. A case is four 6-packs. It shouldn't be hard for the store, provided you're dealing with a health food store and not a big supermarket.

[Blue Belle]

170. Thanks!

I was under the impression that they didn't make it anymore. Next time I'm at the store I'll ask.

:)

146. The Volvo 240

[July]

162. I have one of those!

From the last year they made them. I love it, and tell my husband to bury me in it.

[jakefrep]

163. I've always wanted one...

...I confess to looking at the listings on E-Bay for a nice used wagon.

[July]

165. There's a mechanic at the dealership I go to for repairs who is

always telling me how great the 240 is. It's got its flaws, but I've been very happy with my "Swedish tank," as my husband likes to call it.

[sendero]

148. Every sugar-free product...

.... that has switched to Splenda, which makes me itch all over.

[seemunkee]

149. Fizzies

Alka seltzer like tablets that made soda

[Lautremont]

150. Wig-Wag

[mwooldri]

151. Marathon bars. No, not the Snickers rip off.

This was the UK name for Snickers at one point but I think the recipe was different for the UK.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

155. I remember Marathon Bars.......

The chocolate covered caramel braided candy-bar in the red wrapper. Those things were great!

[Ptah]

152. Milk on the front porch, gallon glass jugs.

Paper stoppers, wire handles.

:hi:

[readermostly]

158. Terri Towels (paper towels), jello three in one (different texture jello

mix, sort of a parfait), 1849 Biscuits - I think that was the name of the product, maybe 1879, anyway they were almost as good as homemade, and all you had to do was heat them up, put butter on them and enjoy!

[July]

161. Dental Dots.

Little circles of pressed toothpaste with a sticky back. Stick it on your finger and scrub your teeth, then throw it out. Great for when you're not at home and just HAVE to clean your teeth. Can't find them anymore, and those new Brushups don't do half as good a job.

[DelawareValleyDem]

164. Brookdale Soda

[KurtNYC]

167. Boone's Farm "Berry Frost" wine

TWA, and Pan-Am

[Brewman_Jax]

168. Screaming Yellow Zonkers

sweetened popcorn, like Fiddle Faddle, but had crazy graphics on the box.

[Magrittes Pipe]

169. Taco Bell fries.

The Fries Supreme was a delicious mess, and I used to order it all the time. Until I found a big ball of hair in the bottom of the carton one time.
