What are some discontinued products you miss?

We have all been there, a food you love suddenly gets discontinued, never to be seen again. Leaving you broken hearted and your cart empty. So, what food/candy/snacks did you like but are now discontinued? Here's a couple from me:

These things were awesome! But I haven't seen them in almost a decade.

Sizzlean

It wasn't that lean, but tasted great with less splatter you get when cooking bacon.

Firefly.

Oh wait, food and snacks....well, since most of the stuff I ate when I was younger was/is poisonous garbage, I can't say that I miss too much of any that aren't produced anymore.  I will, however, come back with a better post once I think about it.

There was a candy bar called Pep-chew when I was a kid.  They were a peppermint nougat covered in chocolate.  So yummy!

I am so surprised that companies haven't pulled some of those old products out, revamped them and bring them back out.  They could appeal to the parents or grandparents nostalgia and it would be all new for the younger generations.

I looked at that picture without reading the text, and thought, 'that looks like a Chevette'. Now I learn Americans had Chevettes. 

I spent my formative years surviving my mates driving in a couple of those. Although ours were Vauxhalls.

It doesn't have to be, my examples just happen to be food, but that's not a requirement. :)
