I had no idea that it had been that long since PB Max went the way of the dodo, and now that you mention it, yeah, I do remember it being quite good.

As for the Cherry RC, it's probably the same deal as with Apple Fanta: the company probably has the syrup available, it's up to the individual distributors to buy it and make it. Unfortunatley, none of the ones around us seem to want to buy it and make it.

Got damn Pepsi for not making Pepsi Blue anymore.  Just when I started drinking it, it up and vanished.  Sad

Well, I would say that one of the BIG reasons that Pepsi Blue went tits up was because it's resemblance to Windex didn't end at it merely resembling it.

*and yes, I have had Windex in my mouth before, so yes, I do know that there is a taste similarity.

Which tasted better?  I'd imagine it was the Windex, because Pepsi Blue was foul.

Pretty equal, actually. The Windex, of course, left my mouth tasting like ammonia for an extended period of time, The Pepsi Blue left a horrible, foul, indescribable aftertaste in my mouth for an extended period of time. I wouldn't have minded so much on either if there was some sort of pleasant taste to start with, but with Windex, it was like Ammonia from the start, and with Pepsi Blue, it just tasted like carbonated water with HFCS and blue food coloring added.

Aww, you had to go and bring up Fruitopia, didn't you.  I miss that stuff so.  ODU used to have vending machines of everywhere and then they suddenly vanished.  I loved Beachside Blast and that Cherry Vanilla one.  So good!

How did I miss out on the Guacamole Dorito's?  Shenanigans, I say.  I'm kind of miffed that their Flavor X-10 or whatever was so limited, and when I got to try I was sick and therefore couldn't completely enjoy the flavor.  From what I recall, it was good.  Who knew cheeseburger-flavored chips would be so awesome?  I'm also mad about their getting rid of Sonic Sour Cream many years ago.  Holy crap, those were great.

Finally, Dill Pickle Lays and Reese's Cookie Cups.  We hardly knew ye.

well, to be fair, the dorito's X-13D chips, they were all right the first try, but they quickly lost their appeal to me.

Wait, Dill Pickle Lay's are gone?  Since when?  Was I in a cocoon?

I agree with Matt at X-Entertainment.  I miss Holiday Spice Pepsi and Mountain Dew Pitch Black.

And man, did I love PB Max.  After the first time I ate one of those, it was "Reese's who?"

Pepsi Holiday Spice was a beverage too good for us mere mortals.  It is, truly, the drink of the immortals.

Instead, what we get is Pepsi Summer Mix.  Ugh.

Summer Mix tickled my pallete in such way that the joy I felt at drinking it is beyond discription.
Holiday Spice wasn't really my cup o' Pepsi, Kenzan knows of my disdain for the brew.


PB Max rocks.

It seems like a lot of folks missed some of the same things I did, which is awesome, but I'm curious... what products are out there that you loved but are now gone?  Let's talk!

The reason I ask is because when I did this on another board, we actually found a few old things still being produced, so maybe we can make ourselves happy with snacks again!

Four Cheese Doritos.  It begins and ends there for me.  They were addictive and delicious and the kind of mass-produced pseudo-tortilla chips God would eat if He couldn't, like, you know, pull Mongolian BBQs and Buffalo Wild Wings and awesome local delis out of thin air.

On a semi-related note, I hate the gimmick of the fast food restaurants to bring out a new menu item or two for a couple of weeks, and then pretend like it never existed until they need to roll it back out for a quick profit.  Taco Bell seems to be the most guilty of this, but I'm sure there are plenty other examples.
