Bananas could go that way! I believe it was a fungus decimating trees because banana grafting for farming resulted in fewer variations making them vulnerable. I'm reminded of history shows talking about how Bananas tasted different as there were more available varieties. As a lover of banana bread, I just hope the banana extinction doesn't happen in my time.

@@trashcatlinol I mean, it wouldn't be bananas going extinct, just these specific variety that we eat right now. They're actually used to be a different variety of bananas that was popular back in the day (around the 1950s I believe) that DID go extinct, which is by artificial banana flavor doesn't taste like bananas, it tastes like the old extinct bananas. Realistically, we will probably just cultivate another variety of bananas to be similar enough to the current ones, it would just take a while and probably a lot of genetic engineering, but it would probably be far faster than back in the day where you literally had to wait for plants to grow and reproduce to select the genes you wanted. Bananas collectively probably won't go extinct, but even if the current variety does, you'll probably still be able to eat something very similar.

When Monster first came out with the rehab line they had a flavor called Rojo Tea which I absolutely loved. I was crushed when they discontinued it.

That wasn't the only reason those things came back: There was a time a few years ago where 90s Nostalgia was huge thus prompting a Nostalgia Fad (like the one the Boomers had back in the 80s). Nickelodeon in its heyday made a comeback, The Lion King made a comeback, Nirvana made a comeback, Steve Urkel made a comeback, Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo made a comeback, and so did 90s Snacks and Beverages (although it took one internet guy to bring back Crystal Pepsi. Look up The LA Beast for reference). So it's primarily thanks to the Gen Y Nostalgia Fad that stuff like 3D Doritos and Dunkaroos even got to make a comeback.

That would probably be something if you do another entry of this. I distinctly remember this as squeezable liquid margarine that came and colors like blue and pink and I think also green and purple.

Margarine used to be colored pink due to butter companies not wanting it to be confused for butter. I do not remember the rainbow butter..... closest we got was a whipped blueberry, cinnamon, and strawberry butter. Don't remember the brand. I was shocked when the school served us flavored cream cheese... I didn't like it at first, until I figured out what cream cheese was. It was just very unexpected. Love flavored cream cheese now, though I never buy it for myself.... probably for the best. Sounds awesome, though! And so sweet! My great grandma loved blueberry butter on English muffins. It was my favorite part of breakfast because flavored butter was a treat. Edit: after a while thinking on it, and rereading the post, I DO remember those squeeze bottles of butter! We wanted to get them for corn on the cob but mom always said no. She didn't like parkay. She changed her mind when they came out with spray butter.

I miss 2000's promo food. I remember 2 specific ones not featured here too; both monsters Inc movie related. The first one was a yoghurt that included a monster inc sticker to get you to buy them, but the cool thing was the pot itself was a giant plastic building block like lego. After monsters inc ended they still kept going for a while, it was really weird they didn't continue it though. The other was also a yoghurt but called Mike Mazowski's eyeballs. It was a round pot with green yoghurt that had a black circle in the center. The cool part was the green stuff turned your tongue green! I think it was vanilla flavour too.

It's kind of wild to hear about these. I remember these, but then I moved to another country. Cereal Straws never really disappeared there. They just weren't advertised as Cereal Straws. Doritos 3D have always been a thing there. So hearing that they disappeared in the US was pretty wild, because they've always been around in other places.

Seeing this, I remembered the old Irn Bru ice creams you could get (in England). My sister always loved them but one day they just stopped making it. The interesting thing is that once my sister found one of them at the bottom of a freezer in a corner shop... It went out of date in 2014. We found it in *2021*.

you ever noticed how every bottle of coke says coke classic or original tase on it? That's where new coke comes in it was a new formula for coke, it was before my time so I can't comment on the taste but apparently the backlash was so bad that original coke sales skyrocketed

There is something truly tragic about foods that are no longer produced. Stuff like video games, dvds, music cds, books, comics, general collectibles… they don’t truly gage unless you don’t take care of them. Not unless it’s truly enough time for paper and plastic to yellow, you don’t normally see the age. But foods are just so temporary. People throw out leftovers in under a month kept in the fridge. So many of these foods will just never be experienced again, because you simply can’t find any of it that’s fresh with all of its original taste retained.

I seriously haven’t thought about the original Pokémon cereal in probably 20 years. Somehow or another I had one of those toys and never knew where it came from until just now.

I've got to pick some up to fill that nostalgia-shaped hole in my heart. (Edit: I've also had the Apple Jacks flavor but it didn't leave a mark on me)

Crystal Pepsi had to only be in select big city areas because I did not see it anywhere or realized it was 'back'. At least Coca-Cola had the decency to put a word out Surge was available for a limited time. Bought maybe five cases of it myself. A month or two before that it had to be located via website through some vendor (e.g, Fantasy Games tabletop and card shop) because... reasons.
