More Foods Not Around Anymore

Things That Aren’t Around Anymore: Food Edition Part 2

This edition of “Things That Aren’t Around Anymore: Food Edition” is filled with all new temporary food items that we miss and a bonus section that features “Foods That Don’t Exist Anymore…Except When You Request Them”, which is a list of fast food items that are only available on request. In the age of technology, we have venues like Facebook to protest for foods to return. This gives customers a forum to be heard. We are ultimately what drives companies to succeed and we now have control (somewhat) over the foods companies put on the market. Enjoy the second installment of this wonderful series.

Crispy M&M’s (1998-2005)

In the crazy blue package, Crispy M&M’s were a hit when they first appeared in 1998. Tasting like the Kit Kat bar in pellet form, they were fun to snack on in fistfulls. Still available in Australia, the Southeast Asia and Europe, fans in the United States are petitioning for their return on Facebook.

Heinz EZ Squirt Ketchup (2000-2006)

Ketchup is red. Always will be, always should be. To prove this point, Heinz wanted to cater to the kid demographic and introduced color ketchup’s such as Blastin’ Green, Funky Purple, Stellar Blue and, “Mystery Color.” While the initial reception was positive, the consumers soon turned their backs on the color ketchup and after a few years it was gone.

Seven Up Bar (1970’s)

The Seven Up milk chocolate bar featured assorted flavor nougat inside a delicious milk and dark chocolate coating. With cherry, coconut, caramel, fudge, jelly, maple, and Brazil nut centers, it was as if you had a box of chocolates in one handy bar. Technically, the Seven Up bar is still around in the form of the Skybar by Necco.

Planters Cheez Balls (Around 1930-2006)

With the blue cardboard container and the bright orange spheres, no one can deny that Planters Cheez Balls were addictive. Planters were known for their nut products, remember Mr. Peanut and his monocle? Cheez Balls did two things: left your tongue dry and coated your fingers in orange flakey goodness. You can purchase knockoff cheese balls, but it won’t be the same.

Foods That Don’t Exist Anymore…Except When You Request Them

McDonald’s Mc10:35

When an advertisement says “For a limited time”, this burger is for a limited time. From 10:35 until 10:45, you can order the Mc10:35, a combination of egg, canadian bacon, and beef patty. Most people have never heard of this sandwich, so if you order it, be warned, you may get a blank look from the order taker.

Burger King’s Suicide Burger

The name says it all. If you order this burger, it may be the last one you ever order. With four beef patties, four slices of cheese, piles of bacon, and BK’s special sauce. This burger can only be special ordered and has never been on the regular menu.

In and Out Burger Animal Fries

Start with a steaming pile of hot, salty fries. Add melted cheese all over the top of them. Continue the layers with some grilled onions and finish it all off with a ladle of thousand Island Dressing. These fries will probably make you sick, but how good will it taste going down your gullet? Animal fries indeed.
