My favorite candy bar used to be the Marathon bar - they stopped making them years ago : (

My favorite ice cream used to be Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake, but I can't find it anywhere. : (

Do you have a favorite something that they stopped making or that you can't find?

The Marathon bar was just rebranded to become "the snickers bar ". If i remember right it was to save cash in differant packaging formats:)



The candy names in the U.K. are all switched around from the U.S. for some reason. Like a Mars bar over there is a Milky Way over here, and a Milky Way over there is a Three Musketeers over here, and lots more that I can't remember. It's confusing... :S:D

So you're probably thinking of a different Marathon bar than what we had over here (quite different from a Snickers).

Edit to say: I had to look up the British Marathon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Snickers_Marathon.jpg :D

I called Godiva and they gave me the number to Cool Brand - who said that they never even MADE that flavor - I think it's a coverup. Conspiracy theories:ph34r::ph34r:

Not exactly discontinued, but nonexistent outside a few select states: What-a-Burger.

I miss What-a-Burger.:|



I feel the same way about In-N-Out Burger.[:/]

~Space Food Sticks



I've never even heard of them. What were they?




***

As I recall...a 'General Foods' product that came out during the height of the late 60's 'Space Race'.

They came in an 'air-tight' foil wrapped package, in a box of 12...were 'supposed' to be similar to what that astronauts were munching in zero g...:S

They were about the size of a small 'Slim Jim' and came in various flavors...all of which tasted a lot like Drywall paste.:P

BUT!:$

Ya got to feel like a Gemini driver without leavin the friendly confines of yer 'apple crate stingray' right here on mother earth!;)

What-a-Burger is better. :P And they're open 24 hours.



That's a pretty strong statement. So far I have not found a rival to the Double-Double, but I'll give it a try next time I'm near a What-a-Burger.

Not really. Everything I loved that was discontinued sucked at first to find something new, but once I did I loved the new product even better.:P

But, I shop at Costco and they have "seasonal" or "sometimes" products and when I LOVE one I'm very sad when they stop carrying it.

For example, they used to carry Bolthouse Farms juices and don't anymore. I can still buy them at the grocery store though, but not for as good of a price. And more importantly, my FAVORITE Hawaiian sweet onion kettle chips--I've never found them anywhere but Costco and Costco stopped carrying them a couple months ago.>:(

I put in a request card for them, though.:)
