From '03 to '06, there was a guacamole flavored Dorito. Best bag snack I've ever had.

The original Pizzaria Uno cream of broccoli soup from the 90s. It was maybe the perfect version of that soup.
Soylent Green. People have no taste these days.
I was going to say Snapple Elements, but apparently they're back on shelves within the last month.
I’d say Planter’s Cheez Balls and lime green skittles, but people wised up and brought those back recently.
Smurfberry Crunch
Brisk fruit punch and sidekicks garlic alfredo spaghetti. Sad days when those were discontinued
Josta. Pepsi's first "energy drink" that they released in the mid 90's, made with guarana AND caffeine.
This was back in the days when Pepsi could "sponser" a middle school by putting a branded soda machine in a common area. It's how I ended up drinking grape Fuitopia every day at lunch, and every day I'd get a bottle of Josta for the walk home.
It wasn't immediately palatable. Reminiscent of Moxie but without the waxy aftertaste. It was like drinking carbonated cough syrup. But just like the other energy drinks that would follow a few years later, I really came to appreciate the taste.
It recently popped up in the background of a scene of the first season of Loki which had me hopeful for a revival, but no such luck.
Bear Valley pemican bars. 450 calories in the size of a cliff bar and honestly pretty good tasting. Dry so you needed water but had good flavor.
Quaker Crunchy Corn Bran was a cereal that had a terrible name, but was SO yummy. Puffins are similar, but not quite right.
Ocean Spray made a Cranberry Key Lime cocktail for a very short while and I loved it.
Eggo used to make a Nutragrain version, and since I only eat toaster waffles with peanut butter and syrup, I couldn't taste the difference and it made for a healthier breakfast.
I have nostalgia for things like Clearly Canadian and Orbitz, but pretty sure I wouldn't actually like them anymore.

Monster assault energy drink, the "new" flavour is a disgusting mockery of the original.
I don't remember the name but there was an energy bar with the flavor a specific juice that got really popular at some point when I was a kid. I think they suddenly discontinued it due to ingredients causing cancer. I had eaten so much of it that it was a bit worrying.
I swear there was a lollipop brand that looked like chupa chups or chupa chups themselves used to have a different flavor because they were the only lollipops I liked but can't find them anywhere after leaving middle school so I guess they stopped making them.
Space food sticks!!!!
Me too. I guess if I ever have to go to space I’ll just have to deal with the crumb problem
Tic Tac Icegloo https://www.produkt.at/produkte/detail/id/10734/
I discovered these in my childhood before I discovered ordinary tic tacs, but they were discontinued soon after.
Pizza Mia from Pizza Hut.
Fiery Habanero Doritos
